It was Christmas day and Caspar and I still hadn't got around to putting the tree topper on.
"Caspar! Everyone's coming here for Christmas you have to help me put the topper on!" I complained, rolling up the sleeves on the sweater he let me borrow.
"Joe, I told you I want to put it on." Caspar complained, pulling me into his arms.
"Do you love me?" I asked, looking up at him.
"Of course." Caspar replied smiling at me.
"Do you like putting your hands around my waist?" I questioned, really wanting to put the tree topped on.
Caspar noddes as if he knew where this was going to go, "Just because I love wrapping my arms around your tiny little waist doesn't mean I'm going to pick you up."
"How many times have you put a tree topper on?" I asked, folding my arms.
"3 and a half times. Don't ask about the half." Caspar laughed at the memory.
"I haven't put one on in my life Caspar. Mum and dad never let me and I've always gone to Zoe's for Christmas, I've never seen the need to have my own tree." I sighed as Caspar looked at me with sympathy.
"Why don't we wait until everyone comes and they can see you put on your first topper infront of your friends?" Caspar asked, grabbing my waist and lifting me off. We laughed as someone rung our doorbell. Caspar sat me down and walked over to the door. He pulled it open to reveal the carpool of everyone invited to the party.
"Mr. Oliver and James White!" I exclaimed, running over getting a hug from both of them. We moved out of the way and everyone walked in carrying their presents for everyone.
"Joe, Caspar can you please help with the rest of the gifts?" Zoe asked, putting her huge pile under the tree. Caspar and I walked outside barefoot and I felt chills got up my spine.
"Caspar..." I sighed, shivering.
"Yeah?" he asked, looking over his shoulder to see me shaking.
"Can we go a little faster?" I asked my teeth chattering.
Caspar handed me a stack and I walked as fast as I could back into the house. I sat them under the tree and looked at my bright red feet. Everyone was sitting down and I went to Caspar and my room and pulled on a pair of socks. I hurried to the living room and Caspar was waiting for me. He handed me the tree topper and wrapped his arms around me lifting me up. I sat the tree topper on and he sat me down.
"Your first tree topper!" Oli exclaimed, clapping and giving me a hug. He knew I always wanted to that. It was on my bucket list.
"Do you wanna open presents or eat first?" I asked, sitting on the floor.
"Open Presents!" James smiled, sitting beside me.
"Alright but, you have to open my gift to you last." I replied as everyone else sat down on the floor. Caspar wrapped his arm around my shoulder as Tanya passed out presents about to have a heart attack. You could tell Christmas was her favorite.
After all the other presents were open I went and got James'. I sat it down infront of him and he pulled off the paper. A huge smile came across his face as he looked at a brand new controller.
"Now you can play with Oli and I!" James hugged me and a huge smile crossed my face. Without that horrible vacation none of this would've happened. Now looking back on it I should have been more willing to go if I'd known that. I couldn't be more happy. This was the best day of my life.
