Nice Girl

Chapter 13

Leo felt around for his phone in the dark as it rang annoyingly, he groaned as he finally answered "ITS CHRISTMAS!"

Leo groaned "No its not its time to sleep," he rolled back into the softness of his pillows pulling his blanket around him

Belle with was too much enthusiasm for this time in the morning laughed "No come on! You have to get up!"

"5 more minutes," he bargained "Then I'll get up," he promised

Belle sighed "Fine 5 more minutes, but just because ITS CHRISTMAS!" he ended that call on her yell and his face fell into his pillow and he fell fast asleep again. Far to soon his phone was ringing again "Get up!" Belle called excitedly

"That really wasn't 5 minutes," he sat up and rubbed his eyes

"No it was 7 the extra 2 was a Christmas present, now up or I'll start singing,"

Leo just relaxed back into his pillows "I like your singing Iz,"

"Oh," she thought for a moment "Then I'll sing a song you hate... Oh I know you hate Justin Bieber,"

"Ok, ok I'm getting up now," he sighed throwing his blankets off him and shivering in the cold "I'll be 5 minutes,"

"Hurry up Alf is getting restless,"

"More like knackered Iz, let the kid sleep and for that matter let me sleep,"

"And I was like Baby, Baby, Baby..." she sang in a squeaky voice

"Okay! I'm up!" He sighed standing up and look out of his window to see the snow piling up as the first light of the Christmas day touched the towns rooftops, it is way to early for this.

"I'll have your coffee waiting," Belle promised before she hung up and ran excitedly into the kitchen to make Leo his coffee, her parents leaned sleepily against the countertop because of their late night "What time is Aunt Fiona getting here?" She bounced slightly

"Darling could you please not be so energetic?" Janine rubbed her eyes "They'll be here at 2,"

"Okay, come on present time!" Belle grinned pulling them out of the kitchen and holding Leo's cup of coffee as the said boy walked through the front door holding an arm full of presents. "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas," he smiled "Could you just get these? I have something else in the car," Will took the presents off Leo and he headed back outside as the family convened in the living room. Max was occupying Alfie's attention so he didn't rip open his presents before everyone was around him to do so. Belle plonked herself down on the floor as her parents took the sofa, excitement grew in her stomach as Leo came back in holding a large box with both of his hands carefully like if he dropped the gift it would explode. "What's that?"

"Your Christmas present," he said like it was obvious slowly putting it on the soft carpet in front of her and he sat down by her grinning in his of course marvel pyjamas that looked fresh on.

"My Christmas present?" she looked over the present carefully and suddenly it move and Belle screamed waking her parents up even more, they chuckled as they realised what was about to happen. "It just moved," she jumped away from it.

Leo laughed "just open it already," Belle edged towards it like it was toxic with everyone looking at her as she did, she even noticed Max had his phone recording her. Belle loosened the bow and suddenly a nose pocked out of the box and sniffed, curiously Belle knocked the rest of the lid off to find brown sparkling eyes staring up at her, she then saw the face of a black and white Boarder Collie sniffing at his new owner. "Oh my gosh," She looked around her family "That's a puppy,"
