Reaching up on my tip toes I finish stringing the lights around the tree and step back down, backing away to see it from afar. With my hands on my hips I analyse the overall effect as they now flicker multiple colours. A smile forms on my face as I continue decorating, picturing in my mind the moment he comes in and sees all the festivities ready for him.
Luke comes home two days before Christmas and I wanted everything to be done for him so the moment he walks in he can just feel the essence of Christmas. Turning the volume up on the Christmas songs I sing to myself as I continue to decorate the tree, lacing the branches with gold tinsel followed by variou baubles or ornaments from my own childhood. Unwrapping one covered in bubble wrap warmth spreads through me as I admire the silver glitter snowflakes against the pastel blue plastic.
It was the first decoration me and Luke brought together at a Christmas market two years ago. Spinning it around I saw our initials written on it and placed it high up, near the angel in a deserving place. Now all I had left to do was put the angel on top, if I could reach that is.
Picking the angel up out of her own special box I move the footstool closer to the tree, and stood up onto it. Sighing I stretched my arm up and went on my tip toes, groaning as I could feel the bristles within my grasp yet just out of my reach. Sighing I take a step back off of the stool, slightly disappointed in myself for not having grown enough or having been a bit too ambitious picking one of the largest trees I could've found.
"Need some help there?" Turning around I let out a startled yell whilst he lightly laughed. Unsure what to do as my heart beat drowned out all other sounds he just engulfed me into a tight hug.
Releasing myself I held his arms, looking at him in such awe. "How, how are you even here? This was supposed to be a surprise." Startled at the sight of my boyfriend after months of vacant nights and waiting for Christmas to come.
"I thought I'd surprise you first." Smiling he moved my hair out of my face as I remained in a flustered state. "Plus who else can help you reach the top of the tree that might I add," He just motioned to the decorations and smiled brightly to me. "amazing job."
Nudging him for technically calling me small I moved towards the tree, waiting for him to follow. Patiently I stood at the bottom of the tree and then he held onto my waist lifting me to place the angel in the pride spot. Slowly he helped me back down and kept his hands on my waist as I turned to face him.
"Merry Christmas Luke." Leaning in couldn't help but feel warm that he was finally home, just in time for Christmas.
