Kissed by a Rose✔️

44) Together

"Everybody wake up! It's Christmas!"

Levis voice makes me jump alive, my body surprised out of its comfortable state of slumber. A groan lets out below me as I jerk to sit up. My eyes follow it to see Theos sleepy face etched with a frown from my movement. I relax my body, and it cries out in relief. The soreness in my legs was unmistakable, even with me sitting still.

I sigh, and close my eyes back. As excited as I was for it to be Christmas, I was exhausted from the night before. I wouldn't mind a few extra hours of sleep.

"Alright man, we are going to need you to detach from the poor girl for like an hour so we can open presents," Levis voice says in front of the massive door of our bedroom.

"Fuck off," Theo growls, his voice raspy and harsh from sleep.

He lets out a laugh, that sounds downright evil, and I hear him shuffle away from the door. As tired as I am, I have to admit that the idea of spending Christmas morning with the people I love has me perked up and ready for the day.

"You heard the man," I chirp, throwing the covers off of us. Theo groans in protest. "Its time to open gifts."

"If my gift isn't an extra hours of sleep, I don't want it." He grumbles out, his eyes closed and face settled into a grumpy frown.

I sigh and kiss his lips hastily. "Come on! You won't even get up for your wife?"

A brown eye pops open, and a lazy smile breaks out on his face as he peeks at me. "I like how that sounds. Say it again."

I crawl back over to him, propping myself up on my forearms as I kiss him again. " Your wife really wants you to see what your present is."

Both eyes are open now, and looking at me mischievously as he pulls me on him to straddle him. "Does it look a little something like what she gave me last night?"

I scowl at him, playfully smacking at his arms, which he skillfully dodges. "Come on, you're ruining Christmas with your sinful mind."

He laughs at me, and pulls me closer to his bare chest as he places a kiss on my lips. "Ok, Rosa. Let's head downstairs."

Theo throws on some pants and a shirt while I do the same. I make sure to grab the fluffy slippers he gifted me before we make our way downstairs. When we reach the living room, Mallory is situated with a cup of coffee and her laptop open, reading through what seems to be emails with her glasses on. When she sees us, her eyes brighten, and she closes the screen.

"Theres the happy couple! I thought you'd never come out of there."

Jess walks in the room with two cups of coffee, giving the plain black to Theo and the one with cream and sugar to me. Levi walks in, scoffing behind Jess.

"Says the one who cant drag Griffin out of bed."

Mallory shoots him a pointed look, gripping her cup. "Its not my job to do that. Im sitting my happy ass on this couch. You're more than welcome to attempt the impossible."

Theo and I thank Jess while Levi struts back upstairs. Minutes later, he speeds down the stairs, a wicked gleam in his eyes. All of us shoot him a look of confusion before stomping can be heard from upstairs. He rushes out of sight, laughing to himself while doing so. Within seconds, Griffin is before us, with wet and wild hair and nothing but a pair of sweats. Hes seething.

"Where'd that little asshole go!?" He barks out, looking around as if we were hiding him. The three of us shrug while Theo lets out a grunt.
