My sunshine // Layne Staley

14

Two months have already passed and today is Christmas Eve.this year was almost coming to an end too. With the boys we decided to eat something together at their house. They said we would even cook together. Let's hope we don't call the fire department. Since I still had to put together the gifts, I'll do it right away. I bought Jerry a guitar that he had seen in a store and liked.I bought Mike a music store gift card so he can pick out whatever he wants. I bought Sean a pair of drum sticks personalized with his name and for Layne a special gift. I want to give him a copy of the keys to my apartment I want him to be the first thing I see in the morning. But I'm a little nervous about it. While I'm wrapping the presents my phone rings "Hello?" I say "Hey Lily, come here we need your help" Jerry says Jesus will definitely be something about the food "Give me five minutes and I'm on my way" I say "Thanks, see you later" Jerry says and ends the call. I finish wrapping the presents and immediately go to the car to join those idiots.After 10 minutes I arrived at their home and I knock on the door. Jerry opens the door and gives a sign to follow him. When I entered the house a burning smell invades my nostrils "Oh God, why do I smell something burning?"I ask and I see Sean and Mike who were trying to cook something but it turned out burned "We wanted to make biscuits... But we didn't succeed " Mike says. "Ah, what should I do with you. Do you have any butter?" I say "Yes, we have it" Mike says "Good, I'm gonna make some butter biscuits" I say and pick all the ingredients. While I was making the biscuits I see the guys looking at me "Why are you all staring at me like creeps?" I ask "We want to see how you do it. At least next time we'll try to do better" Mike says. After making the biscuits I bake them. In the meantime we start preparing something for tonight. "What did you buy for today?" I ask "We bought a chicken and we already prepared it And then we thought about making a lasagna. We bought the necessary ingredients but we don't know how to do it" Jerry says "Luckily I also know how to make lasagna. A university friend of mine was Italian and gave me some suggestions to make it like the Italian one" I say and I open the fridge. first I take a pan where I put carrots, celery, onions and let them fry for a few I flake the meat and mix it. After a few minutes I shade it with the wine and then add the tomato puree and a pinch of salt and pepper and let it cook. Meanwhile I prepare the béchamel with milk, butter and flour in a saucepan.After about an hour I turn off the ragù and start assembling the lasagna. First the lasagna pasta, the ragù and the béchamel and some grated cheese. And so on for 4 other states.After it is ready, I take out the biscuits that are ready and bake the lasagna. A smell of biscuits wafted through the house. "Lily, can we try the cookies?" Layne says "Sure" I say and they start eating. When they tasted the biscuits they seemed to be tasting the best thing ever "Darling, these are the best cookies in the world"Layne says and the others nod "Fuck, they are so good" Mike says "I'm glad you like them" I say and I start cleaning the dishes but I get stopped "You've already cooked, at least let us clean the dishes" Layne says and with the others clean the dishes. "While we wait for the lasagna to cook, Let's play some poker" Sean suggests and we started to play. The time flew by so much that we didn't even notice that it was almost time for dinner. I take the lasagna out of the oven while the boys prepare the table. I put the lasagna on the table and take the chicken and reheat it in the oven. "This lasagna looks delicious" Sean says and and I start plating the lasagna. When we started eating "Damm Lily, you are a good chef" Sean says. "Blessed is Layne who can cook these delicacies for him" Mike says and we laught. After eating the lasagna and also the chicken, we decide to eat the Christmas pudding . After finishing dessert, I go to work on the dishes and Layne helps me while the others tidy up and sweep the floor. After finishing tidying up we decide to play cards and bingo again After a while at almost midnight, Mike and Sean get up. Who knows what those two are up to this time. After a few minutes I find them dressed one as Santa Claus and the other as an Elf. "But is it possible that you always act like idiots? Why don't you go and work in a circus" Jerry says and I laugh "Oh, oh. Santa and the stupid elf are arrived" Mike says. "You'll be the idiot" Sean says "This year you haven't done much shit so I brought you some presents" Mike says "Assholes, take off those costumes and be serious once and for all" Jerry says. And they start to undress. "I'll go first" Sean says and gives us a little box to everyone. I open it and I found I gift card from a bookstore. "Thanks Sean, I had some books to buy" I say and hug him "Why did you buy me hideous Christmas pajamas?" Mike asks "So you learn to make fun of me" Sean says and we laugh "My turn" Mike says and gives An envelope for each. I open and I found a red wool scarf. "I know it's not the best, but I hope you like it" Mike says "I actually needed a wool scarf" I say and I hug him too "Why you got me a purple scarf and the others with normal colors?"Sean asks "Because I love you" Mike says and we laught "It's my turn" Jerry says and gives us an envelope for each too. I couldn't believe it! He bought me a writing machine. "Jerry it's beautiful! I love it" and I hug him tightly "I knew you'd like it" he says and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "My turn" Layne says and gives us a little boxes for each. I open it and see a necklace with a heart pendant "Open It" He says. When I opened the pendant, there's a photo a photo of us. "Layne, it's beautiful" I say "Do you want me to put it on?" He asks and I nod. "Thanks Layne" I say and I give him a kiss. "Now it's my turn" and I start giving gifts. "The first one to open it is Jerry. "Lily, are you crazy? You bought me the guitar I wanted!" He says and fills me with kisses. "I understand you liked it Jerry, stop showering me with kisses.I say laughing. Then it's Mike's turn "No way, you bought me a gift card from my favourite music shop? You're the best Lily!" Mike says and gives me a hug. Then Sean opens the gift and looks at the drum sticks "I can't believe it, my name is written on it. Lily you are amazing " he says and gives me a hug. Then I see Layne open his, and I immediately became nervous. He sees the keys but doesn't seem to understand. Instead I see the others putting their hand in their mouth, they understood. But then he realizes and looks at me "Lily, is that what I'm thinking?" "Maybe yes" I say and he hugs me tightly "Lily , these are the keys to your apartment right?" He asks and I nod. Immediately a big smile appears on his face and he picks me up and turns me around "Lily, you can't understand how happy I am. I couldn't wait for us to live together" he says and gives me a long passionate kiss. And the boys start whistling "Now how will live with these two idiots without you" Jerry says "You'll get used to it" he says "Guys I'm going home and I'll see you. Thanks for everything " I say "Thanks for everything Lily" Layne says "Can I come and sleep with you?" He asks whispering "Of course" I say and he goes to his bedroom. I see him with a pajama. "Son of a bitch, I see you're already leaving" Mike says "I'll get the other things tomorrow" he says winking and we go to our apartment. We arrived and the put our pajamas and we lie in the the bed. Layne holds me close and starts giving me kisses. "I can finally sleep with the woman I love. I can finally wake up and see your beautiful face.Today you made me the happiest man in the world. He says "I'm glad you liked my gift" I say "Let's sleep love, good night"

He says "Goodnight babe" I say. Finally I could sleep with the man I love the most
