45 - Merry Christmas To You Too

December 2018

Katie P.O.V

"Morning" Brad beamed as he leaned over and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Is it really morning already?" I sighed as I sat up and wiped my eyes to try and wake myself up.

"Yep, it is" Brad said as he pulled open the curtains and the bright sun shone through, blinding me in the process.

"I need more sleep" I moaned as I led back down and pulled the duvet over me.

"Nope, you need to get up"

"I don't want to, I want to stay in bed"

"And why would you want to stay in bed on Christmas?" Brad asked pulling the duvet back.

"OMG how did I forget?" I replied shocked as I jumped out of bed and pulled my hoodie on, "come on we need to get everything sorted it's already 9:30"

"Merry Christmas to you too" Brad laughed as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"Sorry" I smiled as I walked over to him, wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, "merry Christmas Brad"

"Merry Christmas Katie" Brad replied before kissing me again.

I couldn't believe I'd forgotten today was Christmas, I mean I knew it was coming up but it's come around a lot quicker than expected. Things have just been so busy with work at the minute as well as Brad having a lot of stuff on with the band so we haven't really had much time to think about it. I was looking forward to today though because I've always loved Christmas and it's the one day in the year when all of us have nothing to worry about so we all come together and just hang out, this year being no different so everyone was heading round to ours and in true Tristan fashion he arrived about 5 minutes after we'd gone downstairs, still in his onesie and carrying a large bag of presents.

"Merry Christmas" he sang as he walked through the door.

"Merry Christmas" Brad and I replied as I ran over and Tris pulled me into a hug before hugging Brad.

"Where are the others?" Tristan asked.

"Tris it's not even 10 am so they are probably still at home but they should be round about 11 ish" I replied.

"Well I've been awake since 7"

"Still a kid at heart Tris"

"I'll always be a kid at heart"

"That's what I like to hear" I laughed.

"So what are we cooking?" Tris asked as we all walked back into the kitchen.

"Ummm a roast dinner" Brad replied as if he was answering a stupid question.

"Yeah I know that, Jesus Christ I'm not that stupid"

"Well..." I mumbled.

"Hey watch it kiddo" Tristan warned ruffling my hair.

"Tris I'm 23, I think it's past the stage of me being kiddo" I laughed.

"No you'll always be kiddo to me" Tris smiled wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Are you flirting with my wife whilst I'm standing right here?" Brad asked Tristan.

"Maybe" Tris winked as he placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Oi watch it Tris" Brad laughed, lightly punching Tristan's arm.

"Oh come on man I was only joking" Tris replied, "it's Christmas!"

"But it won't be a very good one if we don't hurry up and cook dinner" I added.
