Under The Mistletoe (Niall Horan)

First Day of Christmas

I told Nora to drop me off near my house and from their I continued walking towards the house, even though I was holding so many bags. It was getting late and the air was taking on a chill. The walk home was quiet, but hardly relaxing, after couple of minutes I finally reached my destination. There was no light in the back of the house and I didn't have a flashlight so I had trouble getting the key in the lock. I knock on the door carefully not trying to make any loud noise.

"you are finally home" my mom opened the door for me at last. She helped me with bags putting them inside. I drop myself on the couch once I reached the living room.

"I need water" I released the breath I had been unconsciously holding. She hand me the cup and I take a huge sip of water and pulling away gasping for air.

"Katie, chill" my mom said sitting on the couch.

"Okay" I chuckled.

"Where's dad?" I put my legs up on the table but of course in the opposite direction were my mother is sitting.

"He is sleeping and I stayed up to remind you that you have to wrap the gifts before bedtime" she informs me.

"Do I have to?" I groan sounded tired.

"Yeah" She nodded.

"Do you know how to wrap gifts?" She asked me.

"No but I will figure it out by asking the wikihow since they are life savers " she laughed at my stupid answer.

"Of course you will though" she continued laughing. I took the bags and head upstairs to my room. I took off my shoes along with my cloth placing them on the chair that everyone else has it in their room. I wear my comfy pj as I started getting all the gifts out of the bag. I started off wrapping gifts that I bought for Niall and then the rest of my family. I honestly know how to wrap gifts but I was joking in front of my mom to lighten up my mood.

I finished wrapping the gifts after two hours. My eyes are closing by itself but I felt like I have to check on my mom to see if she is still awake. I sneak my head slightly to see if the lights of the living room are on, apparently the lights are off that means she went to sleep. I run back quickly to my room throwing my body on the bed scooping myself under the comfortable covers,once my head touched the soft pillow my eyes closed.

Niall's POV.

The alarm clock buzzed insistently and I reached over to slap the snooze button, I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision and check the clock it indicated 7:00 am in a large orange number. It is Christmas morning and I couldn't be much happier than this moment in my life. I crawled out of bed making my way to the bathroom, I took a warm relaxing shower and get dressed trying to look attractive more than usual. I spray cologne on my neck and a little on my hand rubbing them and applying on my chin and cheeks. I comb the crown area of my hair making it spiked upwards for a great style. For my cloth I am wearing completely black. I took my bags and some stuff with me downstairs resting them on the floor beside the couch and entered the kitchen.

"Merry Christmas sweat heart" once I entered the kitchen my mother run hugging me.

"I was going to say that first" I groaned.

"It's okay sweetie" she smiled pulling away. As I can see she was dressed up nicely as well.

"Merry Christmas to you too mommy" I said sounded like a little kid. I opened the oven taking four cookies my mom just made.

"I made you a sandwich" she hand me a pretty long delicious sandwich.

"Thank you. what is it?" I take a bite to taste it.
