The Cuddle Pact with Eddie Munson

12

    Luci's mom goes all out for Christmas, with Ita's help it's gonna be bigger than last Christmas. It's definitely going to be a big one, and Eddie is coming over. Dustin is excited that Eddie agreed to it. Robin always comes over for Christmas, since her parents are always busy. Luci's family doesn't mind Robin at all, she's a part of their family. Robin calls their grandmother, Abbi. Steve went to their Christmas dinner last year, but Steve and his parents are building a better relationship with him which Luci,Robin and Dustin are happy about. Also Max, Max's mom and Jane (El) are coming by too. A full house in the Henderson residence.
Dustin and Luci leave to get last minute errands for the dinner.

"What else do we need? Luci asked Dustin as she looked around the store.

"Pie crusts, mint,cheese,grapes,and condensed milk."

"More pies?"

Dustin shrugs, "There's more people  this year than last."

"That's true."

Luci and Dustin are walking in and out of the aisles to get the items from the list, they notice Eddie in the bakery.

"I'm going to say Hi," Dustin said.

"Okay,I'll be in this aisle."

"Hey!"

"Oh hey Dustin."

"You should get those cookies, they're Ana's favorite."

Dustin has a feeling that Eddie has a crush on his sister. Which he isn't mad about it. The boys mentioned that she was their open mic one day and Eddie told them to shut up when Dustin sat down. He heard some parts which got him to think. No one knows that they're in a band except Mike, Dustin, and Lucas. And now his sister. He would love to have Eddie as a in-law.

Eddie picks them, " Last minute errands?"

"Yeah, our mom and Lita wanted us to get more things for the dinner."

"Who's Lita?"

"Our grandma, it's a nickname for her."

"I thought-"

"It's Luci's paternal grandma, but she considers me as hers too."

Eddie nods his head, "Hey Dustin, I found the rest," Luci said walking up to Dustin and Eddie.

"Hi Eddie," she said with a wave.

"Hey Luci," he waved back with a smile.

"We'll see you at our house at 7:00, right Luci?" Dustin said.

"Huh, oh right yeah 7:00," Luci responded.

"See ya then!" Dustin said walking away with Luci.

Luci and Dustin arrive at home, Luci helped out with pastry area of dinner, Dustin, Lita and their mom did the tamales and sides. Robin came early to help which Luci was so happy, she really needed help.

"Thanks for coming early, I'm on pastry duty this year," Luci groans.

It's not like she hates it,baking is so precise unlike cooking.

"No problem, as long I get to eat some after hard work," Robin jokes.

"Will do," Luci laughs.

Everyone was doing there part to help with the Christmas dinner. Christmas music was played loudly, along with with Celia Cruz. They all had a fun time, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" Luci yelled over the music.

She opens the door, "Hey you made it! Come in," Luci gestures him to come in the house, he comes in hearing the loud Christmas music and laughter.
