Just The Thought Of You

All I Want For Christmas Is You

A/N okay so u would think that next I am writing a prom chapter but, That's not what happened, this could or won't make sense, it's been a year or two. 
this chapter may or may not be the last one. Also I didn't go back and read everything, but as I wrote it I tried to not make mistakes. Then again I didn't write this chapter all at once ... Enjoy!❤️

Dinah's POV
It was Christmas night and people started arriving to Lauren's mother's house. I helped set up last minute decorations and put away the rest of boxes with Lauren.
"Hey Lauren can you take down the last one? I'll go get us some water." I said as we walked back upstairs.
"Yeah sure." She said grabbing the boxes. I took this as my chance and set up the mistletoe. I put a ring on it that would shine when the light hit it. A lot of people were coming over so it would be hard to hide it from them until I wanted it to be revealed. I grabbed two cups of and filled them with water. When Lauren came up I handed her one and we sat at the table.
"Thank you girls." Clara said putting a hand on Lauren's shoulder.
"No problem!" I said putting my glass in the sink.
I heard the door bell ring and rushed to answer. Now the party was starting.
Lauren's POV
There had to be around 50 people in the house right now. Loud music was playing but people still held conversations. Right now I was looking for Dinah. I walked upstairs to my room and opened the door.

"Oh here you are" I said sighing. She sat on the bed with her back facing my way.
"Babe, you okay?" I said walking up to her. I heard small sniffles as I got closer and realized she was crying. I sat next to her and hugged her, letting her head rest on my shoulder.

"A Few Moments Later..."
"Dinah, tell me what's wrong." I pleaded. She had her head on my chest breathing steadily but didn't say anything.

"I'm scared." She said simply.

"Scared of what?" I asked. I really had no idea what she was talking about.
"I'm scared of... of-..." She mumbled but cut her off.
I ran my hand through her hair and looked up at the ceiling for a moment.
"happy?" I said finishing her sentence.

"Dinah, you that you don't need to be scared at least with me. I won't hurt you like the last, I'm not them, I promise you that." I said trying to comfort her.

I then decided it was the right time to give her a present that I couldn't wait to give her any longer.

"Dinah?" I said making sure she was listening. She snuggled up closer to me and looked up into my eyes.
"What time is it?" I playfully rolled my eyes and she sat up. I got off the bed and grabbed my phone from the windowsill.
"11:47" I said putting it back down.
"But I have some thing for you." I said before she could respond.
I quickly went to closet and pulled out a blue and silver wrapped box from the top shelf. Dinah began to get out of bed and walked to me.
I handed her the box and she put it down.
"You-" I started to ask, but was immediately stopped by Dinah's lips crashing into mine. I didn't hesitate to kiss back. Our lips moved in sync very passionately...
We broke the kiss when air was needed and just stared at each other for a second. I smiled and she pulled me in for a hug.

"What was that for?" I asked.
"I love you." She replied. She grabbed the box and brought it to me.
"Open it with me?" She asked. It was like helping a small child because they didn't know how.
"But it's your present, Dinah." I said. She pouted and sat on the floor.  I quickly took the box from her hand. She smiled and I sat down next to her.
We unwrapped the wrapping paper and threw it to the side.
                      Dinah's POV
It was a box. A box covered in pictures of me and Lauren. But the box still opened. I slowly opened it side by side and inside there was another box.
"Oh my gosh, Lauren. You took the time to do this?" I said. 
She nodded and smiled widely. She lifted the smaller box out and placed in on the floor. But once again it wasn't only a box. It was covered in Beyoncé CD tracks. To listen to in the car and at home. I almost screamed but that would only cause people to come upstairs so I just let some tears fall. I looked around the whole box, remembering each song from her. And at the top it opened. When I opened it, Lauren took another box out from inside. I was now wondering how small this would get.
This box was covered in candy. Lauren giggled a little seeing my reaction.
"By the time I'm done with this, I think it'll be tomorrow." I joked. She lightly slapped my bicep and offered me to continue. I opened the box and it was wrapped in 'Cheetos' bags.
A/N alright I think I'm not going to go one by one anymore.
By the end of this all I had
Pictures, CD's, candy, Cheetos, letters, a teddy bear, a necklace, and a ring.
Lauren's POV
After Dinah and I had another make out session, we decided to go back downstairs.

"There you girls are, we're opening presents in five minutes." My mom said. I nodded and we headed into the living room.

Dinah's POV
Everyone had their presents but Lauren's parents looked at me, in a way they never have. It was almost like disappointment. But Lauren was laughing and having fun. When I looked back up Clara waved for me to go over there. I was a bit hesitant but I did.

"You got Lauren a present?" She asked.
Trying not to ruin the surprise I had to go on.
"No..." I responded
"But it doesn't look like she cares." I don't know why I felt the need to say that, but it was hard trying to pretend like I got her nothing.
"Because she's a good person. She acts like it doesn't matter about the presents, just family and she believes that but she was still hoping that out of everyone you got her something. " Clara said angry.
I checked the time and it was in fact 1:04.
"Record this." I told Clara. She did what I said but confused.
I walked to Lauren and led us to the middle of the room. There hung a mistletoe.
"What?" She asked.
I pointed up and the light illuminated the ring hiding in the mistletoe. Everyone had stopped talking to watch. Thank you Uncle Sam. I thought.
Lauren looked up and saw the ring, tears fell down her cheeks and she nodded. I connected our lips, one because well I just asked her to marry me without speaking and two, we are standing under a mistletoe. It's what you do.
A/N why ? Why must this remind me of the GEICO advertisement. 🙉

Lauren's POV
I had no idea what to feel. I only physically felt Dinah's lips on mine. And heard as everyone in the background whistled and cheered. I get to spend the rest of my life with the one person I thought I couldn't get. Life must love me, because I have done nothing so great in the world to deserve this. I guess some dreams do come true.

A/N so it may have started out good but then it also got worse and worse, sorry for this chapter but I couldn't think when I was writing and I wasn't going to delete it all. But there's going to be a flash forward, where they have kids already. Just to show how life turned out for them.
