My dearest Anya

Christmas eve

2 years later
Anya's POV
Damian and I have been together for 5 years now. He graduated from college 5 months ago. He has a good paying job. We got engaged 2 months ago and have moved into the same house together. It's winter and my parents have invited us over for Christmas eve and we agreed. In a few more months we'll be married. I'm so happy. It's a few weeks before Christmas. I have a job but it's not a high paying job because I'm not exactly sure what I want to do.

I used to want to be a spy but no one really wants to be a spy anymore and I refuse to be an assassin. I don't really want to kill people. Damian told me it was okay. We sleep in the same bedroom. We have a 2 story house. Our bedroom is upstairs. We were really happy when we moved in together and still are. Damian goes to work and I kiss him goodbye. "Have a good day at work" I say. "Have a good day Darling " he responds. I smile at him and he leaves.

I count down the days to Christmas. I love Christmas but I also dislike it at the same time. I love the pretty lights and everything but it always gets so noisy telepathy wise. Everyone's thoughts are so loud around Christmas. They're always thinking about their loved ones and Christmas gifts and sometimes dark things that I don't feel like getting into. Everything else is wonderful though. I love seeing that lights and bearing the beautiful music and a few other things. Christmas really is wonderful.

The days seem to go by pretty fast. I got a present for mama and papa and most of all Damian. Soon Christmas eve finally arrives. "Hey Damian it's time to go to my parents house" I say. He nods. "Alright Darling let's go" he says. We walk past our Christmas tree which is standing tall decorated with beautiful ornaments,lights and candy canes with a few presents underneath it already. We continue to the front door and walk out to the car. We both get in.

Damian gets in the drivers seat after making sure I'm in. He makes sure both of us are buckled for safety. There's some pretty crazy people that drive around on Christmas. We both get buckled and he starts driving. I hummed along to the music as we headed over to my parents house. We finally get there and we both get out of the car. Damian and k walk around the car to each other and hold hands as we walk up to the door of my parents house.

I knock on the door and mama answers the door. "Anya!" She shouts and hugs me tightly. "Dear Anya and Damian are here!!" Mama shouts clearly excited. "Hey Anya" papa says with a smile. I smile back at his as I hardly ever see his smile. Damian and I walk into the house. We sit by the fire with mama and papa and just talk about all the things that are happening in our lives. We realized that my parents don't know about our engagement. I give Damian a look. He nods and I look towards my parents.

Damian's POV
Anya and I realize that her parents don't know about our engagement. Any gives me a look and I nod. "Mama, Papa we have something to tell you" she starts off. "Oh? What is it?" Her mom says. "Well you see we wanted it to be a bit of a surprise but uh Damian and I are engaged" she says happily. Her father already knew because I asked his permission. He probably would have killed me otherwise. "Congratulations honey!!"Her mom shouts excitedly.

After that everything settles down and we all continue talking. "Oh Mr and Mrs Forger we brought gifts for you for Christmas" I say. They look at the both of us. "I know you guys always say you don't want or need anything but I hope you'll accept these gifts from us for Christmas please" Anya says to them. They smile at each other and then at us. "We don't need or want anything because we have you as our daughter" her father says. "Aw! That's so sweet papa" she says. She goes out to the car and grabs the gifts and I help her bring them inside. We hand the gifts to them. Mrs.Forger puts them under the Christmas tree. "Thank you Anya and Damian" she says. "It was our pleasure"she says with a bright smile. It's brighter than the one the star.

Soon we all have dinner. We sit around and talk some more. "So Anya when is the wedding?" Mrs.Forger asks. "We're thinking in may" she answers. "So in the summer?" She asks. "Yeah will you guys be able to come then?"Anya asks sounding concerned. "Yeah of course we can. Send is the date and we'll make it no matter what we promise" her mom says. Soon it was time for us to go. "It's getting late so I think we should start heading home" I say.

"As much as we would love for you to stay I agree" her mom says. "Yes stay safe though Anya we love you" her dad says and hugs her. "Don't worry papa we will be. I love you guys. I hope to see you soon" Anya says. They wave us off and we both get into the car and get buckled. They stand in the doorway and hold onto each other as they wave. Anya waved to her parents one more time before they are out of sight on the dark and snowy winter night. Soon she falls asleep. She had fun but I guess she did get tired.

I let her sleep. I was happy. We both got home safely. She was still asleep when I parked the car. I turned the car off and grabbed the keys out of the ignition. Then I walked over to Anya's door and opened it. I unbuckled her and carried her bridal style. I shut the door behind me and locked the car. I also somehow open the door. I carried her upstairs and tucked her into bed. I went downstairs and locked the door. Then I walked back up the stairs to the bedroom and got into bed with her and fell asleep with my arms around her as she peacefully slept.
