Chapter Eighty-Six || Let it snow

Date: December 24th

Location: London, England

"Matty!" I screamed once again for my sleeping boyfriend.

"Baby" he moaned as he stumbled into the kitchen. "It's too early"

"Don't baby me!" I spat as he wrapped his arms around me. "You have to get dressed, I have to go pick up my parents from Heathrow"

"How you managed to get them down here still surprises me" he chuckled then kissed my cheek. "I will wash up and clean a bit while you're gone, I promise"

"Thank you" I huffed turning around to face him. "And watch the food"

"Got it" he nodded then kissed me. "Drive safe please"

"Pff!" I scoffed. "I'm an amazing driver"

"What side of the road do we drive on love?" He smirked.

"Fuck off" I groaned slipping out his arms and walking off. "It was one time!"

"Three!" He called with a laugh.

It was Christmas Eve and I couldn't be happier and sadder at the same time.

In the last eight days I've managed to do all my Christmas shopping, send out gifts to the people who wouldn't be joining me on Christmas and learn how to properly drive in the UK.

Technically it wasn't legal for me to drive out here since I still had my American license but Matty taught me with this car he managed to buy while we were separated. It was black and expensive just how he likes it.

Anyways like I said it was Christmas Eve and since I couldn't be with my family this Christmas they just all decided to fly out here which was fine with me but wasn't fine with Matty.

My family still had some resentment towards him especially my mom but he knew how important it was to be with them so he promised to behave for the time being.

My mom and dad were set to fly out with Kendall and Terrance which surprised me since Terrance was supposed to be with his own family and my parents haven't spoken since their divorce but apparently they made amends and Terrance didn't want to miss a chance to fly to London for Christmas.

No sigh of Isis either, T told me she would be with their family since the sight of Matty would probably make her go insane, her words not his. I was perfectly fine with her not coming.

Someone else who wouldn't be at dinner or Christmas dinner was George.

The guys got back into the city two days ago and since then he decided to crash with some friends and he told Matty he would be spending the holidays with his family or at least that's what Matty told me.

I believe that Matty asked him not to come home and not to be here for the holidays and of course George respected Matty's wishes because they're best friends.

Either way he would be here and I would be lying if I said that wasn't making me sad. The holidays are about being with the people you love and who make you happy and him not being there would be like missing a piece of my family but I could understand why and I respect him for it.

Anyways here I was at Heathrow waiting for my parents and my boys. I was still in my pajamas because I was up all more getting the ham in the oven and started some of the other dishes.

"Mommy!" I beamed as I raced my moms arms. I was freezing in my Uggs and onesie but it's okay.

"What are you wearing?" My mom laughed as she embraced me. "God Abigail"
