Of Christmas Nights And Endless Love

Onesies and Tattoo

Christmas 2017

James smiled as he watched his dad with her parents and siblings talk to each other in Casa Lustre's kitchen. Since Lauren was spending her Christmas in the other country while Jack was with his mom and Tom was going to celebrate it with with Ashley's family, James and Nadine had decided that he and his dad would just celebrate this day with the Lustres. When his dad learned about it, he was glad and so were Dong and Myraquel.

He and Nadine were sitting on the sofa in the living room, cuddling with each other.

"Thank you," she mumbled as she snuggled her face onto his neck even more. The smell of his perfume wafting her nose and she grinned against his skin, inhaling his scent.

"Thank you for what?" he asked, arching his brow. His arms tightly wrapped around her, body pressedly attached against her own, sharing to her the natural warm of his body. "I haven't given you my gift yet."

"Thank you for agreeing to wear these clothes," she grinned, gazing up at him through her long black lashes.

James looked down at themselves. They were both wearing matching black onesies with small white hearts all over it.

Truth was, James really despised the idea of wearing this peace of clothing but then Nadine begged to him. And she looked so adorable while pleading him to wear it, puppy eyed and lips pouted. So he easily gave in. And who was he kidding? Even though Nadine didn't beg him, he would still wear it for her.

Only for her.

"It's nothing, and besides let's just consider it as one of my christmas presents." He wagged his finger to her nose, smiling widely.

"But seriously love, thank you." Gone was the playfulness in her eyes and was changed to pure sincerity. Enchanting dark brown eyes looking straight to his heavy-lidded ones.

"For what reason this time?" he asked.

"For just being here by my side. Thank you for being a great love team, if it weren't with you, I wouldn't be where I am now. Thank you for being the shoulder I could always lean on and the tissue that always wipe off my tears. And most importantly, thank you for being an amazing boyfriend to me, protecting me always and loving me unconditionally."

She gave his lips a short tender kiss.

"Thank you, love."

Cupping her jaws, James smiled.

"Thank you too, Naddie."

He began to caress her cheek with his thumb.

"Thank you for sticking with me through the shittiest days of my life. Thank you for always believing me even when no one else did. Thank you for accepting who I really am. Thank you for loving me just the way I am. You love me without asking me to change and no words  can describe how thankful I am that you came in my life."

He pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"You are the best gift I've ever recieved."

"But you also said that in your birthday," Nadine said, chuckling a little.

James leaned in and cupped her cheeks with his warm big hands.

"Well, you want me to tell the truth, love?"

Nadine smiled and so did he.

"Truth is, no christmas gifts or birthday gifts or any kind of gifts can beat you. Cause you weren't just a gift. You're a blessing too.

"You're the best gift God has given me. You're the blessing I'll forever be grateful for having."

Nadine looked straight at him with so much adoration. The sincerity and love reflecting through his alluring brown eyes.
