Say Goodbye (A Chris Brown Love Story)

Chapter Twelve

"Get up! Get up! It's Christmas you guys! Get up!" Dani yanked the blankets off of us. Mariah just rolled over and put the pillow over her head.

"Mimi! Get up! You too, Chrissy!" She jumped up and down on the bed.

"Alright, alright, I'm up." I groaned, falling out of bed.

"Lets go! Santa has been here!" She squealed.

"I'm sleepy, it's only 9 o'clock." Mariah complained.

"Oh, come on." I grabbed her ankles and pulled her towards me, wrapping her legs around my waist. She leaned up and put her arms around my neck so I could pick her up.

"Come on!" Dani ran out the room and I carried Mariah downstairs. Dani had grabbed the biggest box she saw and started ripping the wrapping paper off.

"Santa got me kitchen!" She screamed, jumping up and down. She was hugging the box and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Open some of your other ones." I said. She picked up a small box and looked at it.

"This one has Mimi's name on it." She walked over to us as I sat Mariah down.

"It does?" She asked, taking the box from Dani. She pulled the paper off and opened it slowly, smiling instantly. She looked back at me.

"Looks like 'Santa' got me a beanie with my name stitched on it." She said sarcastically, winking at me. I smiled and pecked her on the cheek.

"I got a doll house!" Dani shouted. Mariah started digging into the presents with Dani and pulled out a nice size box.

"These are so cute!" Mariah exclaimed as she pulled out a pair of red and pink high top Adidas. "These look amazing, I've always wanted a pair of these!"

"How did Santa know your shoe size?" Dani asked Mariah.

"Santa looked at my shoes and got my size from the tag because he's smart and he loves to surprise me." Mariah answered. I smiled at her and sat on the floor with them.

I watched them as they opened the rest of their presents and Mariah even got me a few, some new shoes, a watch, and axe cologne that she said she couldn't wait for me to use.

The doorbell rung and I walked over to open it, letting in Rodrick, the guys, Brandy, and..Hayden? They walked past and I stopped Hayden.

"Why the hell are you here?" I whispered.

"Not happy to see me?" She smirked. "But I wanted to see you." She snatched her arm away from me and walked into the living room. .

"Hey Hayden." Mariah greeted, giving her a hug. If only she knew. Why had she done it in the first place? I saw her eyeing me so just to make her mad, I walked over to Mariah and kissed her right in front of her. I saw her mouth slightly drop from the corner of my eye.

"What was that for?" Mariah whispered when I pulled away.

"I just wanted to." I answered, smiling at her. She hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"Is Hayden mad?" Dani said, causing me to look up. Hayden was nowhere to be found.

"Where is she?" Mariah asked. Dani pointed toward the kitchen and Mariah let me go, walking into the kitchen. I started to follow her but stopped at the doorway, hiding behind the wall.

"What's up with you?" Mariah said.

"Oh nothing, beside the part where you keep rubbing your boyfriend in my face." Hayden grumbled.

"What are you talking about? I'm not rubbing him in your face."

"Um, you were just out there locking lips with him."
