Worst Night Mare : Merry Christmas

Hey as you can tell by the title of this chapter, it is christmas. Let me tell you it is weird to write about christmas in the middle of September. But I did it anyway so here we go -

Worst Night Mare : Merry Christmas

I woke up to the sound of my brothers singing, which I will say is not that bad. “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, batman smells, robin flew away. Uncle Billy lost his willy on the motorway.” My door was pushed open so I could see my brother in PJ bottoms and a Santa hat, and wearing a massive grin over his face. I shook my head at my brother’s tradition every Christmas day, since he was thirteen he has woken everyone up in the house by singing a song. “Wake up Izzy and Ann. Christmas is upon us and it is time to celebrate!” Ann grounded from the floor where she is sleeping, “Go away Jack, it’s 6 o’clock” the one thing you should probable know about my older brother is that the 25th December is the one day, he is that little six year old again.

I couldn’t help but grin, I jumped out of my bed. I grabbed sweat pants off the floor, ran passed Jack who now had a little pout on his face from Ann none excitement about it being Christmas. I reached the bathroom, locking the door and pulling off my shorts slipping into my sweat pants, splashing water over my face, pulling my hair into a pony tail. I dropped my hands and looked at myself in the mirror I had dark blue circles under my eyes to signify just how tired I was. My hair was a shade darker than before, because of how I hadn’t had the chance to wash it. The bump hadn’t grown much in size, but it was noticeable.

“Come on Izzy, present time” I smiled as Dad’s voice floated from where he was down stairs I looked back at myself, and looked myself up and down. Even though my perfectly flat stomach had gone it does mean I was not hot. I had always been a confident person, and this wasn’t going to stop it, I winked at myself laughing. Then turned out of the door, walking down the landing, and end up running down the stairs. I reached the bottom of the stairs and flipped landing perfectly on my feet like I had been doing since I was nine. I heard clapping I looked to see Dad, Ann and Jack stood grinning.

I walked into the lounge to find Jamie, sat next to the small collection of presents under the tree. I scooped him up, and sat him in my lap. “Right mine first” said Jack excitingly, I swear he prefers to give people presents more then he likes to receive them. He grabbed four presents from the pile. Passed me two, mine and Jamie’s. Gave one to dad who chuckled rattling it, I guess already knowing what it would be. Then he smiled and gave the last to a surprised looking Ann, “what Jack you did have to get me anything” Jack frowned “Did you get me something?” he said raising an eyebrow, “Well….yeah but” he smiled “Then I did need to get you something, just open it” she rolled her eyes as jack sat in the seat next to dad.

I picked up the present marked Jamie, and opened it in front of him. He grabbed the teddy as soon as the wrappers were off it. I looked up to see Ann, glancing through the last twilight book. And dad was holding a six pack of beer, laughing. Jack looked at me, as I picked up my present I turned it around trying to find were it was held together, and jack started chanting “OPEN IT OPEN IT OPEN” Getting annoyed with him I ripped it open two things fell into my lap, the first was a new top with converses on it, and the other…. “You got me a condom” I said looking up at him completely shocked and confused. Apparently it wasn’t just me who was confused, because Dad, Ann and even Jamie was looking at Jack confused. He just grinned and said “For the next time you decided to get down and dirty with Dan” I got up putting Jamie on the floor, and walked over to Jack playfully slapping him on the back of the head. He just laughed and dad called “My turn”

After we had opened all the presents I had, a new pair of shoes from Ann, a new pair of jeans from Jamie and dad, a top and CONDOM from my dear brother Jack. Dad jumped up from the floor, and shouted “Twister” this was another of are Christmas traditions every year we play twister. Dad lay out the mat, and Ann, Jack and I stood up. “Now go” shouted dad, at us three. “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS” I pulled scissors, and both Jack and I pulled paper. “Yes” I said, dad sat down next to Jamie who was giggling holding on to both his new teddy and blanket with his thumb in his mouth. Dad span the spinner “Left foot, red” I stepped forward stepping on to the nearest red circle with my left foot.

I fell onto the sofa with my white cartoon; yeah you got it instead of eating traditional Christmas food, like turkey and that. We eat Chinese takeaway, it was the only day all year we eat it. Jack fell next to me clicking the TV so the elf came on. Ann sat the other side of me, with a fork in her cartoon not boring to use the chop sticks. Dad walked in and gave Jamie his little plan with a little food on it, when the doorbell rang. We all exchanged glances; by the looks of it no one had invited anyone. Dad walked over to the door and pulled it open.

“Hello, Sir we were wondering since we had no one to spend tonight and boxing day with, if we could stay here” it was Dan, I could tell by the voice, Jack glanced at Ann and I. Then he got up, he walked out of the lounge I guess going to the door. “Yeah sure come in” said Dad. A moment later, Dan, Chad and Chris were stood in the lounge doorway. They stood there slightly awkwardly, my eyes met Dan’s and he smiled. Jack came in a few seconds later with three more Chinese cartoons “Sit, Eat, Watch” then he sat back down but this time sat on the other sofa with dad. Dan who looked the most comfortable out of all the new arrivals came forward and sat down on the sofa next to me.

He moved closer to me, when the movie had almost finished, Chris and Ann were hitting it off just like Chad and Jack. “I got you a present” by this I was surprised and also happy, “I didn’t get you anything” he leant forward and kissed my nose, his hand landed on my raised stomach stroking it lightly “You already gave me the best gift I could ask for” I was hypnotised by his words and beautiful eyes. He lips softly found mine, and I kissed back quickly, before I could take it too far in a room full of mine and his family, he pulled away which I was only half grateful for. He grinned and leaned down to where he had put his bag, by the end of the sofa.

All the three of them had brought a bag full of stuff, like clothes. They must have been very confident that my dad would let them stay. I was pulled away from this thought, when he placed not one but two presents in my lap. I raised an eyebrow “Oh don’t worry one is more for me then you” now I was confused, God he hadn’t got me a condom as well because that would be a bit weird getting one as a present form my none boyfriend, boyfriend. I ripped open the square shaped present first, but what was in it almost made me scream.

I looked up at him, he had got me a phone, he had got me a phone. And it wasn’t just any phone it was an iphone. “Umm….” I said, everyone was looking at us now. Jack who had got a phone through work was wide eyed, he was so used to mocking me that he had a phone and I didn’t but now I had one to. But as I looked at my dad, I knew that I couldn’t accept it. “Don’t, just take it” said Dan, making me face him. I nodded “Thank you” I said in a small voice, smiling up at him. He grinned then nodded at the other present which was still in my lap. I picked up slowly this time, unsure what could be in this one if a phone had come out of the other one.

“Open it” obviously Ann was excited to see what was in it as I was anxious. I opened it and this time I did scream a little, it was the dress that I had been wanting since around September time. I looked up at Dan who was grinning “How did you know?” he chuckled and shook his head “You told me remember” I shook my head this time staring down at the dress. But then I grabbed the tag and looked at size, my smile dropped. “What?” asked Dan worried, I looked up at him smiling “I won’t fit in it soon” the hole round went silent “Yeah but you can wear it afterwards” I grinned “Yeah I and I can wear it till then” he smiled and nodded.

Later on I climbed into my bed, and Ann lay on the floor. “Night” I said and she grumbled something almost coherent which I think was good night. I lay down and let sleep take me, warm arms wrapped round my waist “Umm…Dan what you doing here” I felt his chest rumble against my back “I just want to hold you, don’t worry Ann is asleep” I nodded too tired to sleep anymore “Go to sleep beautiful” and I did I fell asleep to the sound of his steady heartbeat, the last thing I felt was a soft kiss place to my forehead.

Ok I know it is short, but I am trying to write a really long chapter for my other book 'Breaking his jar of hearts' so that is what I am concentrating on at the moment but thought since you are such wonderful people I thought I would upload that is why it is a little bit short.

Anyway Please vote and comment if you want another chapter.
