Getaway Car

Chapter Thirty-Four

Winter Break - Christmas Day

Katherine POV

"Baby," I hear soft whispers come from beside me. "Baby," I groan, "wake up its Christmas," I brake out into a smile.

"I love how excited you are," I open my eyes, seeing him prompt up on his elbow head in his hand as he looks down at me.

"I've been up for an hour already but thought it was too early to wake you,"

"Is anyone else awake?" He nods.

"They've only woke up about 15 min ago mums making us coffee now come on," he gets out of bed, and I soon follow after.

"Shall I get changed?" I was only wearing his shirt that shows my ass he shakes his head, handing me a jumper. I slip it on, and it rests just above my knees.

"Come on, it'll be fine," he holds his hand out, which I take and leads us downstairs.

"Merry Christmas," Cisca says, kissing my cheek and handing me my coffee

"Merry Christmas,"

~~~~~

Everyone opened their gift, and then Lando taps my leg, motioning me to follow him. I get up, and he leads me outside to the conservatory.

"I wanted to exchange our gifts in private,"

"Was I supposed to get you something?" I joke.

"I hope you're joking because this would be a deal breaker in the relationship," I laugh.

"Of course I'm joking," he hands me a blanket, which I slip over me.

"I want to go first," he says. I smile and nod, and his smile brightens. He pulls the bag from the side and then hands me the first gift.

I smile as I open it, revealing the oil paint set I said I wanted. He handed me a few other gifts, but I could tell this last one he was most excited about.

"I hope you like this one," he hands me a small box. I open it and then reveal the necklace inside.

"Lando," I say, looking at him, tears brimming my eyes.

"I couldn't leave her out of today," I let out a small laugh, looking back down on the necklace. It was a photo of me and my mother, and on the back was the words my Kitty Kat he wiped my tears that had fallen down my cheek.

"This might be the best thing anyone has ever gotten me,"

"Now she'll always be close by," I lean over and kiss him.

"I love you,"

"I love you," I wipe the remaining tears and then grab the bag with his gifts in.

"Okay, last two," he nods, still smiling like a little kid.

"Here you go," he opened the camera, his smile growing, and then he opened the last one.

"Fuck off," he says jumping up when he opens the gift. "How did you get this,"

"Me and Rossi have a great relationship," his eyes travelling over the helmet in front of him he had his eye on Valentino Rossi's AGV X-Vent helmet since he laid eyes on it now it was finally his.

"I can't believe you got this for me,"

"It took me a little convincing, but it's finally yours," his arms wrap around me, hugging me tight.

~~~~~

"Where are we going?" I ask as Lando leads me out of his house and through the garden.

"I want to show you something," he opens the gate, and we walk a bit more until he finally stops.

"Wow, I didn't know that you could see pretty much everything from up here," I say.

"Yeah, can see all the town," I smile looking at the lights.

"The view is amazing," I say

"It really is,"

"You're not even looking,"

"I was talking about you," I roll my eyes smiling. His hand slipped in mine.

"Kat," I turn to him.

"Yeah?"

"I love you,"

"I love you too," he shakes his head.

"Let me finish," I nod.

"I love you more than I can actually say. I never thought I was capable of love, but you showed me I was, and you have shown me that I can be loved for more than my name." I smile at him."If you asked me last year if I could see us standing here right now, I probably would have laughed in your face but now I can't picture the future without you," I gasp as he bends down on one knee pulling out a ring. "I know we haven't been together for that long, but this amazing woman told me once you know you know she also knew I was in love with her daughter," he takes a deep breath "so Katherine Rose Button will you marry me,"

"Yes," I say , laughing standing up and spinning me around before grabbing my face and kissing me.

"I was so nervous," he says as he pulls the ring out, slipping it on my finger. I hadn't looked at the ring till now.

"Lan"

"It is," I look up at him "your mum gave me this ring the second time I went to see her she told me how you always loved this ring but she would never give it up but she gave it too me and told me to make you happy and do right by you so that's what I'm doing," on my finger was my late grandmother's ring she passed down to my mother and ring I never thought I'd see again.

"She must really approve of you,"

"She's not the only one,"
