Allison did just that. She came back from changing and everyone started laughing. All six of them were in the same sweater. She stood in front of Connor, ready to sit on the floor, but he pulled her onto his lap. She stayed put.
Sarah had gotten everyone these gourmet candy sets. No one had anything bad to say about that gift. The brothers bought each other matching Blue Jays things. Allison laughed at them. Cam got Sarah a Tiffany bracelet. She cried when she opened it. Cam bought Allison a McDavid jersey. She rolled her eyes. Connor kissed her shoulder while he laughed.
Connor stood up, walking over to the tree. Allison stole his spot. He handed his gifts to everyone. He bought his parents tickets to fly out and see him. He got one for Cam and Sarah too. He had too many things for Allison. She let out a growl. She hated big gifts. He pulled a stool over to the side of her.
He handed her the card first. It was two cartoon otters but he had put his face over one and hers over the other. She started to laugh. It read "I'd be otterly lost without you" and the inside just said Merry Christmas, and Connor's name with some kisses and hugs. Everyone passed the card around and chuckled. Connor smirked and tossed Allison her first gift.
Alli unwrapped it and saw it was a photo album. The first picture was just a photo of Dylan and Kara kissing with Connor and Allison photo bombing it. She chuckled and closed it. She'd look through it later. He smiled, tossing another present at her. She shook her head, tearing off the wrapping paper.
"Did you get your other girlfriend to wrap this?" She teased.
"Yeah, and she got the better gifts." He shrugged.
Allison made a face, followed by a laugh. She opened the box and growled. He bought her a Northface jacket. He was always yelling at her about not being dressed warm enough when they were out. Now she always would be.
She was so mad he spent so much on her. And that wasn't even all. She let out a sigh when he handed her third gift. It was in a gift bag. It was just a big Oilers shirt.
Connor laughed at her reaction. He had actually bought her really racy lingerie but she couldn't pull that out in front of his parents. She gave him a look. He just smirked. There were two more gifts for her from Connor. He extended a huge box to her. She let out a long, dramatic sigh as she took it from him.
"I can't stand you." She whined as she unwrapped.
It was just full of clothes she had told him she was interested in. She shook her head. He tossed in a bunch of gift cards too. She thanked him and he just smiled. He tossed the last little box to her. She huffed. She slowly opened it. It was a key. She looked at it in confusion then up at Connor. He was smiling.
"Show us what it is!" Kelly exclaimed.
Allison tilted the box towards everyone while staring at Connor. He took a deep breath and took the box from her. He took her hand and placed the key in it. He closed her hand around it. She just watched him.
"It's a key to mine and Taylor's apartment." He explained. "I want you to have it."
She smiled, pushing herself up to kiss him. "Thank you."
Allison gave everyone their gifts. She gave Cam some video game he told her he wanted. She bought Sarah the Naked Smokey palette. She literally tackled Allison in a hug. They laughed about it after. She got Brian a golf set that Connor told her he wanted. He made Cam go on the back porch to test it with him. Cam didn't argue.
"Okay, this isn't really a personal gift, but I know you've been begging the guys to get you one of these for years so I finally did." Allison told Kelly as she handed her the gift she bought her.
Kelly unwrapped her gift and her face lit up. "About fucking time!" She exclaimed.
Connor's face turned to shock. "Mom, did you just swear?"
"Yeah, I'm excited!" She laughed, looking over her gift. "I asked for a Keurig for my birthday two years ago."
"I remembered and Connor said you still didn't have one yet, so I bought you one." Allison explained. "A single one so only you can use it."
"Good." Kelly huffed.
"Okay, my turn." Connor smiled.
"I didn't get you anything." Allison snorted. He glared. "I'm kidding." She giggled.
Connor opened his gifts. She got him the shaving kit he had asked for, as well as a new leather wallet since his was falling apart. She knew his parents bought him a PS4 so she bought him a bunch of games for it. He grabbed his last gift. It was a material bracelet with a garnet gem tied into it. He cocked a brow at her.
"It's lame but it's our birthstone." She said as she took it from him. "I got myself one too so we're always together." She sang.
She tied it onto his wrist in the sling. He pulled her towards him by the back of her neck. He gave her a long kiss. She smiled into it. She smiled when they broke apart and kissed him again.
"This is really thoughtful, Al." He shook his head as he played with it.
She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah."
Everyone helped clean up. Kelly made Allison and Connor take a picture in front of the tree. Allison had her arms wrapped around his torso. His arm was around her and he was kissing the top of her head. It was a nice scene. Kelly took it on her camera, her phone, Connor's phone, and Allison's. It came out as a really nice photo.
The night dwindled down and eventually they all went up to their rooms. Allison and Connor both got cleaned up before they just sat on his bed.
Connor pulled open his drawer and tossed another gift to her. She growled. He smirked as he sat beside her. She didn't want to open it. He bought her enough.
"It's your real gift from that gift bag. I just couldn't have my parents seeing it." He explained.
She was confused. She opened the box. It was a beautiful lingerie set. She started laughing as she pulled it out. He made a comment about how she should feel free to put it on now. She just laughed again. She kissed him and thanked him. She had another gift hidden for him as well.
"This gift is actually really lame." She said as she sat down beside her bag. "I saw these online and it just, it made sense to get since you're always away and can easily bring this with you."
He watched her pull out a pillow. "What?" He chuckled.
"It's not a normal pillow!" She cried, walking it over to him. "I have one too, and we get these rings that like wirelessly connect to these panels in the pillows and then they glow and we can hear each other's heartbeats when we're not together."
He took the pillow and just stared at it. This was genuinely the most thoughtful gift he had ever received. He didn't even know what to say about it. He couldn't think of how to thank her. He looked up at her. She was watching him, waiting for some kind of response.
"It's totally fucking lame. Forget I even-"
He stood up and kissed her to cut her off. "I love it, and I love you." He breathed before he kissed her again.
She smiled and kissed him. "Thanks for making this a really great Christmas."
