On Christmas morning I had decided I was gonna sleep in. It was a good idea up until I woke up to something barking at me. I sat up sleepily and saw Xander standing next to my bed holding a little collie puppy. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen.
"Who is this?" I smiled
"This is your new puppy. Merry Christmas." He smiled walking over to me.
"Wait, this is mine? You got me a puppy?" I smiled more.
"Yes. It is for you." He said handing me the little puppy.
"Thank you Xander. She's beautiful." I said taking her from Xander.
"You're welcome my love." He said kissing me
"I think I'm going to name her Nelly. "I smiled cuddling her.
"Do you want to come down stairs with me?" He smiled.
"Not yet. I want to give you your gift. Sit here." I patted the bed.
"You didn't have to get me anything." HE smiled and kissed me.
"I know. But I wanted to. Okay! So, I got you...me!" I smiled.
"You? I don't understand. I already had you." HE frowned.
"No. I know you already had me Xander. I mean, I get to stay with you, till January." I smiled excitedly at him.
"What? Wait, you didn't get fired did you?!" He frowned.
"Um...no. I got a new job..." I was lying. Because the truth was I did get fired before I left. I just didn't tell Xander because I didn't want him to be upset with me. "Xander, I swear, I still have my job." I put my hand on his face.
"Oh. Alright. I'm glad I'll have you this long!" He smiled and kissed me for what felt like a really long time.

As the day went on I was happy to have someone like Xander. I never wanted to leave.
