The Missing Texts

I wake up around seven in the morning. I roll over to face Ethan and kiss his face a few times. He bring his hand to my face and gently shoves it away. I let out a huff and crawl onto Ethan.

"Merry Christmas!" I smile.

"What time is it?" He groans

"Seven." I answer.

"Please get off of me and go back to sleep." He says-eyes closed.

"Don't you want to open your presents?" I sadly ask.

"Having you in my arms is good for now." He answers, opening his eyes. "Please let me go back to sleep."

I roll off of him and lay there in silence for an hour. I wake him up and he gets out of bed grabbing me. He takes me to the living room and throws me down on the couch and walks to the kitchen. I sneak behind him and wrap my hands around his waist. He turns around and grabs me, setting me on the counter beside the coffee maker. I grab the creamer and a cup from behind me and we wait for the coffee to be done.

We walk back to the living room and I turn on the Macy's Christmas Day Parade. We point out a few floats that we like and the boys come out to join us. We open our presents and thank each other.

"I will be right back." Ethan smiles, standing up.

He comes back with his hands behind his back smiling from ear to ear. He whips his hand around holding a small teal box. He sits down next to me and watches me as I bring my hand to my mouth. I look down at the box that reads Tiffany&Co.. I gently pull on the perfectly tied white bow. I gasp as I see a rose gold heart necklace. I grab Ethan, pulling him into a tight hug. I give him a passionate kiss and he helps me put the necklace on.

"Ethan I love you so much." I whisper into his lips, pecking him one last time.

"I am glad that you like it." He smiles.

"We need to get ready. People are coming over in a few hours." Ethan says.

We all go to our rooms to get ready. I throw on a pair of sweats and we head out to Gray's car. We pull into the grocery store and walk in.

"Gray you go get some corn and green beans, Aaron go get some sweet potatoes and marshmallows, Ethan get two pies." I say.

I head to get a ham and stuff for a pasta salad. We all meet back at the register and pay.
