"Thanks for coming with me." You said with a smile. Derek glanced at you and nodded saying it was no problem. You were missing out on Lydia's holiday extravaganza. But you wanted to go to the party your newer friends were throwing.

You were pretty sure that you had a great gift for the secret Santa. When you arrived everyone was very interested in Derek. Asking who he was and how he knew you. After a few trips to the buffet table and an hour or so of circling the room, chatting with different people everyone was circled around for the secret Santa gifts. Yours was the second to be opened. It was a handmade ornament that you found, it was in the style that your friend had been talking about. However when the present was unwrapped the entire group started to laugh and joke. Calling it ugly or saying they wanted to or wouldn't swap.

"Can you walk me home? I'm kind of over this whole Christmas party." You said to Derek after they went on for over half an hour. Derek nodded.

"I'm sorry I have to get going." Derek said loudly enough that everyone around you heard. The two of you headed off and, having driven past Lydia's to get to yours and saw that all of the lights turned off for the night, you headed inside feeling rather disappointed and as if you'd wasted an evening that you could have spent with your friends.

Derek sat outside, talking on the phone with someone until he was sure that you had gotten in safely. You went to bed, getting ready slowly as your mood plummeted. When you woke the next morning it was cold. So cold that you considered closing your eyes and going back to sleep. However, when you closed your eyes you heard something downstairs which made you sit up. With a sigh you heaved yourself up and out of bed, finding your slippers before shuffling off.

"SURPRISE!" Was yelled as you reached the bottom step. Looking around you realised that everyone had come over. The house was decorated and you could smell food being cooked.

"Sorry!" Derek said with a chuckle as he pushed past Malia and Liam who had thrown tinsel strands in the air as they yelled. "I just know how much you missed Lydia's party. So I figured we'd arrange the one that you could go to."

"Oh." You said with surprise. They hurried you through into the living room and you spotted a pile of secret Santa gifts, a stack of holiday films and snacks on your side table. Everyone crowded in the living room as Scott and Melissa finished making breakfast, which was just the first of the indulgent meals that day.
