-----------------------JOHN'S POV
"Okay, now we need to find the right-sized one."
"Yep! Pops did say that it would be going in the living room so it needs to fit in there."
What were we doing? Well, Alex had asked me to get a tree and Philip had begged me to come along. Eliza finally let him after he gave her the best puppy eyes in existence, taught by yours truly. Want something? Use puppy eyes. Works 99% of the time. Unless Alexander is the one that you're trying it on. We eventually found the right sized tree and got it packed up. When we went to pay for it I started zoning out once I saw the girl behind the counter. You are gorgeous. I wonder do you have a boyfriend?
I was snapped out of my daze when I felt a hand tug on my trouser leg, "Uncle John? Are you okay? You were staring at her." (Again, like the last one, this is a sign of affection, cause we know there's no relation between either Alex and John or Eliza and John that would lead him to be Philip's (and therefore the rest of the Hamilkids)'s uncle)
"Y-yeah I'm fine, little man. No need to worry," I replied before turning back to the girl, "Sorry for the staring."
She giggled, causing me to fall further in love, "It's fine, now how about we get that tree paid for? Then you two can get home."
I nodded and gave her the money before trying to pick the tree up and ultimately failing. There was that giggle again, "Would you like some help?"
"N-no I got this!" I replied, trying not to seem weak in front of her. She just giggled again, "Really? Because it looks like you need some help."
She walked around and took the tree, easily getting it onto her shoulder, "Now, where is the vehicle this is going in?"
"O-oh yeah, follow me," I responded walking out, her following and Philip holding onto my hand. I let her towards my car that I'd brought and she helped me tie it to the roof before smiling, "There you go! Well, have fun decorating. I should get back to the counter, probably a lot of people wanting to pay for their trees," she spoke turning around and walking off. I took a deep breath and grabbed her hand, "Wait... Uh, would you like to spend Christmas with us?" I felt her freeze and I hastily added, "I-I mean you're probably spending time with your family, I don't even know why I asked-" I was cut off when she turned around and smiled at me, hugging me, "I-I'd love to. As long as it's okay with you."
"Of course. The more the merrier."
She smiled wider and hugged me again, "Thank you. I would have ended up spending Christmas alone again to be honest. I don't have anyone to celebrate with seeing as I am an only child and my parents died a few years ago so I'm alone now."
"Excuse me, Miss?"
YOUR POV
I turned to the small boy, "Yes?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
I felt my face heat up, "Oh goodness. No, I don't, why?"
"Just wondering because my Pops keeps going on about the fact that Uncle John here needs a girlfriend and-."
