I Love You, Wherever You Are (Marianas Trench)

Chapter 10

Cassidy left to go to her parents for Christmas so I was just getting ready for having Ian over for dinner. When someone knocked on the door. I thought it was Ian but, I was shocked to see who it really was.

"Aunt B! Anne! What are you guys doing here?" I asked giving them a hug.

"Cassidy called me and asked if I could visit for Christmas because she didn't want you spending it all alone." she told me.

"Oh, well thank you for coming down here." I said. "I will be right back."

I ran across the hall to Ian's room.

"Hey. I thought I was coming over to your place." he said.

"Yeah but, my aunt just came over unexpected." I told him.

"Oh, do you still want me to come over?" he asked.

"Yeah. I just need to warn you, my cousins father was in a band and when he found out that my aunt was pregnant he left." I told him.

He nodded and we went across the hall.

"Aunt B, this is my boyfriend Ian. Ian, this is my Aunt Beatrice." I said.

They waved at each other and sat down.

"So Ian," Aunt B asked. "What do you do for a living?"

"He is a drummer in a band." I said quickly.

Aunt B looked shocked and upset. I looked at Anne who was sitting at the far end of the couch.

"How are you Anne? We haven't seen each other in a few years." I asked, changing the subject.

"Good. I like your apartment." she said.

"Thank you. Cassidy and I picked it out together." I told her.

We spent the rest of the day together and we ate the food I made. Ian left around 9ish.

"Aunt B, are you staying in a hotel?" I asked.

"No, your roommate said it would be alright if I stayed here." she told me.

Of coarse.

"Okay. I will sleep on the couch and you and Anne can share my room." I told her.

She went down stairs to get their stuff from her car.

"My room is this way." I told Anne.

I showed her to my room and she sat down on my bed.

"If you need anything just tell me." I told her.

"Wait, can you help me?" She asked. I nodded. "What do you do if you are being bullied?"

"Tell someone. If you are being bullied tell your mom or I am just a phone call away." I told her, giving her a hug.

She hugged me back and I left. Aunt B came back and dropped their stuff off in the room.

"Jemima, can I speak with you for a second?" she asked.

I followed her to the living room.

"How long have you been dating him?" she asked.

"About 4 months." I told her.

"That is all it took for me." she said.

"Well, I really like Ian and he really likes me." I told her.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes. Please just try to get to know him." I told her.

"Fine. Good night." she said.

I waved and went to sleep on the couch.

The next day was Christmas eve and I was planning on having Christmas dinner tonight with Ian. So I started on the turkey.

"Good morning." Aunt B said.

"Morning. Where's Anne?" I asked.

"Still in bed." she told me.

Aunt B made some cereal for her and Anne.

About an hour later Ian came over.

"Merry Christmas tomorrow." he said kissing me in the cheek.

He handed me a box. I opened it and inside was a music note shaped necklace.

"Thank you. Put it on me." I said.

He put it on me and I went to get his present. I took the box from my room. I handed it to him.

"It's heavy." he said.

He opened it and a black pug came out of the box.

"He is adorable. It is a he right?" he asked.

"Yeah." I told him laughing.

"When did you get him?" Ian asked, picking him up.

"I got him this morning but I bought him a few weeks ago." I told him.

He laughed. "I think I'm going to name him Bubba."

I hugged him and went back to the kitchen. Around 4 o'clock I looked over in the living room to see Ian and Anne playing with Bubba. I laughed. Nothing is more attractive than a guy that is nice to kids. At 4 I finally finished dinner.

"Okay. Dinner is ready." I said.

Everyone sat down at the table and I started to carve the turkey. The meal was great, probably one of the best that I have done. Ian left at 9 and Anne went to bed.

"Wait, we have to put out cookies for Santa." Anne said from my room.

"Oh right. I got some today. Come on lets go put them out." I said.

We set the cookies out on the table and she went to bed.

"I was wrong about Ian." Aunt B said.

"Thank you for giving him a second chance." I said.

She smiled and went to bed. The rest of the time was great. Cassidy was back in time for New Years and we had a great time.
