You Complete Me

Christmas

1 p.m. Christmas Eve
The boys were on their phones with their families saying that they couldn't find a plane home and have to spend this Christmas at a hotel. They say their goodbyes on the phones and hang up. "Ah I'd never thought I'd spend Christmas with an angel." Luke says. He kisses my forehead and I kiss his cheek.
"You guys are too kissy. Like, stop, some of us don't have girlfriends." Michael says. The boys let out fake cries.
"Alright, alright we'll keep it to ourselves." Luke says. He walks to the boys and gives each of them a pat on the head. "It's okay children. It'll get better." He says sarcastically. The boys stop fake crying and we start making food for a small party we decided to have together. Ding dong. I look at the boys with wide eyes. I mouth the words "hide" and they go upstairs. "Coming!" I yell. I open the door slightly and see Iliana wearing her beanie, black jeans, warm jacket, and boots. "Oh hi."
"Are you gonna open the door or...?"
"Yea but my house is a mess, so can you come later?"
"Just open the door I only came to drop off the presents." Shit. I forgot. We always spend Christmas together every year. "Open. The. Doooor." She looked annoyed so I just opened the door. "About time." She puts the presents down carefully and stands by the Christmas tree. "Sooo, did you get me a present?"
"Uh... Yea, duh." I lied. I've been so busy with the boys that I forgot about getting presents for people. "It's just a surprise so you know haha I can't tell you."
Iliana looks at me for a while. "Liar."
"What?"
"You didn't get me a present. I can tell when you're lying."
"Look. I got you a present okay. I just can't share any details about it cuz you'll know what it is."
"Alright. Don't make it too big cuz I don't have enough space in my house anymore. All the boxes and stuff."
"Don't start with the whole moving thing alright? We don't need that right now."
"I know, I just... Don't wanna go. My dad's business trips are stupid and pointless. Now we have to actually move because of his job?"
"It's okay." She started getting teary eyed so I hugged her. "You'll still text everyone and Skype and shit. Don't cry."
"Ha okay." She cleaned her tears and stood up straight. "Now, imma go see my present." She dashes upstairs and I try to stop her.
"Stop!" I yell for her, but she won't listen. I hear my bedroom door open and then silence. "Shit. Dude I told you to stop." I find her staring at the band. They look at me and then at her.
Ashton was the first to speak."Uh... Hi?" Iliana has no expression on her face. Then, she finally realized what was happening and she screamed. I put my hand over her mouth.
"Dude! Shut up! We can't let anyone know they're here!" She looks at me and nods.
"How'd you get them here?" She whispers.
"You don't have to whisper and it's kinda a long story so-"
"I have time."
I sigh and tell her everything. Throughout the story she just stared at the boys and smiled like an idiot. "So that's how we hehe ended up here haha." They look at me and tilt their heads. They wince and I get the message. "I know I'm not good at puns okay!" I laugh and cross my arms.
Michael sits by me and hugs me by the side. "Ha it's okay none of us are." I laugh and put my head on his shoulder. Then I look at Luke. He's bright red. He looks down and walks out of the room. I get up and follow him.
"What's wrong cutie?" I say trying to grab his hand. He won't let me.
"Nothing haha. I just came to get some water. My throat is kinda dry ya know?"
"It seems like something's wrong. Just tell me pleeeeeeaaaa-"
"Nothing's wrong Leslie." He puts his arms on my waist and kisses me.
"What'd I say about the kissing thing guys?" Michael walks in and jokes.
"She's my girl. I can kiss her when I want Michael."
"Haha I know I was kidding Luke calm down."
"Don't tell me to calm down Michael." We both look at him."What?"
"He was just messing around Luke don't get too mad about it."
"I'M NOT MAD." I flinch at his screams and back away. "I'm sorry I'm just kinda tired. I'm not mad babe." Luke hugs me and apologizes for yelling. "And sorry for being a dick to you Mikey."
"It's okay man." They give each other a bro hug and we go back to my bedroom. Iliana was sitting in between Ashton and Calum talking to them about how much she loves them. They look at us blankly.
"What was the screaming about?" Calum asks.
"Nothing really just stupidness." Luke smiles and sits down. I sit next to him and put my head on his shoulder. "So what's happening here?"
"Iliana was telling us about ourselves." Ash says giggling. "It's cute." Iliana blushes. She always had a thing for Ashton. Ashton smiles at her and I can see her getting nervous.
"Ash your eyes are so freaking pretty." Iliana says looking deeply into Ashton's eyes.
"You too- I mean yours too."
"Mine are brown." Iliana laughs.
"Pretty brown."
"Ashton you suck at flirting. You sound like a kid." Calum says laughing.
"Shut up Calum." Ashton giggles.
"Alright guys time to set up and Iliana I can't go to the family get together thing as you can tell, so can you tell your parents?"
"Yeah I'll tell them." Iliana says finally taking her eyes off Ashton.
"Mind spending the holiday here?" Ashton asks Iliana.
She smiles and says, "I'd love to. I'll ask my parents." She waves goodbye and goes to her house.
"Ashton calm your hormones she's not legal yet."
"I'm not sex-crazed Leslie!"
"I know just stay calm. She's still a virgin and she hasn't even thought about sex unless she's kidding."
"Okay."
Iliana comes in without knocking and gets on her knees. "He let me stay!" She puts her hands together as if saying a prayer and closes her eyes.
I grab her arm and pull her up. "You're so dumb." I joke. "But Ash likes dumb apparently, so yay for you."
"WHAT? He likes me?"
"Obviously, but keep it a secret because I don't think he wants you to know yet." She squeals and nods. "Imma go shopping so help the boys out a bit okay?"
"Alright."
I went out and got presents for the boys and Iliana. When I got back everything looked perfect. "Nice job guys." I set the wrapped presents under the tree and looked around and before we knew it, it was 6 p.m. I got in the shower and got ready. I straightened my hair and put on a flannel with black jeans ripped around the knees.
"Cute." I turn around and see Luke standing at my bedroom doorway. He was wearing almost the exact same thing I was except I was wearing Doc Martens and he was wearing Vans. "Stealing my look?"
"Ha you didn't invent this look honey."
"Oooh sassy." He hugs me from behind and watches me put on my makeup. Eventually we all sit around the table and eat our dinner. Then we went around the Christmas tree at 11:50 and waited to open our gifts at 12. I got up to make us hot chocolate and ended up under the mistletoe. "Mine!" Luke ran up to me and kissed my cheek.
"Mine!" I mocked and kissed his cheek.
"Touché." He says. He runs back to his seat on the couch and I make the hot chocolate. By the time I brought them the drink it was 11:58 and we were all chatty.
12 a.m. Christmas day
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" We all yell. Luke grabs me and kisses my lips and I kiss back. When I turn my head I see Ashton and Iliana kissing. "Holy shit. Get some!" Luke shouted. Ashton smiled, but managed to keep his lips on Iliana's. We open our presents and share laughs and eventually crash on the floor and some on the couches.
