Living The Life Of Stacey and Zara

Chapter 11-Christmas Comes Early

Caspar's POV

I'm so excited for Christmas. It's November the 29th. I really want Joe to get into the Christmas spirit. Christmas is all I'm thinking about right now but Joe doesn't seem to feel the same way. He is still in the late Summer/early Autumn mood which I don't think is normal. I can't stop listening to Christmas music and watch Christmas movies. I'm so freaking excited for Christmas!

"Stacey invited us over," Joe said to me.

"When for?"

"Today."

"Tell her YES!" I replied.

Stacey's POV

Me and Zara were both in the Christmas mood. We wanted to get Joe and Caspar involved so I messaged Joe.

Stacey:Hey Joe. Would you and Caspar like to come to ours today? Xxx

Joe:Yeah sure. We'd love too!! Xx

Stacey:☺️

We prepared for them coming. I had a few recipes planned in case we wanted to bake something like cakes, brownies, etc.

Zara picked out some films that we could watch (Christmas themed of course!) .

"Done!" Zara sighed.

"I guess we're ready then," I said.

"Yep," Zara replied. Just then the door went. "I'll answer it!" Zara shouted, excitedly getting up and rushing to the door.

When she answered it she hugged both the boys and kissed Joe on the cheek. "Come in!"

Joe blushed and the boys entered the house. I turned around and smiled when I saw them.

"Joe!" I shouted.

"Hi," he laughed. We hugged.

"Caspar!" I gasped.

"Hello Stacey," Caspar replied. We both hugged each other and swayed from left to right a couple of times before letting go.

"We wanted this visit to be Christmasy!" Zara explained to the boys. Caspar gasped. "That's funny because I've been in the Christmas mood too."

"Really?!" Zara asked.

"Yeah," Caspar added. "I love Christmas!"

"What 'bout you, Joe?" I ask him. Joe turns to me. "Mm?"

"Are you excited for Christmas?" I ask him.

"Eh, no," Joe replied. Zara gasped.

"Don't mind him!" Caspar joked. "He's one of those 'ba humbug' type of people."

Zara nods. Joe frowns at his roommate. "No I'm not!" Joe snaps at Caspar. We all lay our eyes on Joe now. We are all taken by his exasperated comeback.

"For some reason I'm just not in the mood this year. I usually am, honest," Joe says to me and Zara.

"Ok then," Zara mutters awkwardly.

Zara's POV

I showed them the box of Christmas decorations that me and Stacey stored away until it was close to Christmas.

We all decorated the house and tree together. It was so festive and romantic.

"Zara, why don't you show the boys the film selection of Christmas movies you picked?" Stacey asks me.

"Oh yeah!" I rush to the living room, grab the DVDs and run through to the kitchen to show the boys the collection I had for them to choose from.

There was Elf, Home Alone, It's A Wonderful Life, Arthur Christmas and A Christmas Story.

"I'll go for Home Alone," Caspar says.

"Ok, Joe?"

"I'm going for Arthur Christmas. Zoe loves that film so I bet it's good," Joe explains.

"Stacey, what about you?" I ask her.

"I'll go for Elf," Stacey says.

Oh no. Everyone's choose something different.

I take away It's A Wonderful Life and Christmas Story because no one choose them.

"Except your own, choose another one," I said to them.

"Home alone," Stacey replies.

"Elf," Joe says.

"Elf," Caspar nods.

"Elf it is then!" I say.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

After the movie we all feel tired. Joe and Caspar can't be bothered going back home.

"How about they sleep here?" I suggest to them. "Just for tonight."

"Ok then," Stacey replies. I look at Joe excitedly. "Yes!"

That night Caspar slept with Stacey in her room and Joe slept with me in my room.

"Your bed is warm," Joe says nervously.

"Thanks," I say awkwardly. Wait, was that meant to be a compliment?

A/N:Very Christmassy chapter, don't you think?

Anyway, I hope that got you all reading this into a Christmassy mood.

It's almost December y'all. How excited are you for Christmas?

Goodnight👋🏻💞
