— DECEMBER TWENTY FOURTH 8:39 P.M. ᐟ
"I can't believe I let you decorate my whole first floor. You really love you some Christmas," Jasiah said, slipping his arms around her waist from behind. His eyes locked onto hers in the mirror as she adjusted the soft curls in her platinum blonde hair with the warm glow of her living room lights reflecting off the ornaments on the tree behind them.
"& you don't?" Her gaze met his as his head rested lightly against hers.
He gave a casual shrug, "Never really celebrated, my OG wasn't really into that. But I'm open to a change of heart."
Iris smiled, turning to face him, "Well, I'm definitely gonna make sure you have the best, real first Christmas." She said with a firm nod, her smile deepening as Jasiah's smile mirrored hers. She leaned in, brushing a soft kiss against his lips. "Have you ever gotten a Christmas gift before, at least?"
"Yea. Me, Honesty, & Azriel used to do it lowkey almost every year. Just to feel that spirit everybody else be on, but it was always be sum' small."
Hearing that, Iris walked over to the Christmas tree, carefully picking up a wrapped gift she had tucked beneath its branches, nestled among several others. Turning back, she handed it to him, "Here," she said gently. "In my family, we always get to open one gift on Christmas Eve." She held up a single finger as Jasiah took the box, his brows furrowing.
"Wait." She added quickly, darting off again. She returned moments later with her digital camera, flipping the screen open as she started recording. The lens was on him first, then shifted to the tree only momentarily.

"You gon' do an introduction, or you just want me to get right into it?" He asked, gesturing toward the camera.
"Oh—like a vlog?" She asked, her gaze flicking between him & the camera.
"Is that not what you doing? What, you gon' throw this on yo' IG or sum'?" He raised an eyebrow.
"No Siah," She replied with mock exasperation. "It's just for us." She straightened, refocusing the camera on him. "Anyway, it's Christmas Eve, 2024, & this is the first gift he's opening from me, we still have some hours to go until 12 a.m. Hopefully, I can outdo him this Christmas because, he got me a jet—AHHH!" Her sudden screech of excitement filled the room as the realization hit her again, the thrill of owning a private jet still fresh & overwhelming. "Sorry!" She laughed as she tried to compose herself while Jasiah looked at her like she was mental. "Go ahead boo."
