It was now Christmas Eve, and the two were back in Massachusetts where they were in full festive mode. Chris loved that Billie had went over the top with decorating and they decked out the house from top to bottom with cheerful decor. They had been playing holiday music nonstop for the past few days. It was nice they were in good spirits and they had been relishing their private time together, especially since they would heading to Sudbury tomorrow. And while Billie missed her own family, she knew they were having a blast on their luxury cruise through the Caribbean. Plus she actually found it refreshing that they chose that as their new holiday tradition, but a small part of her had regrets that she didn't join them.
Still, she did her best to distract herself from missing her family by baking her ass off. She had spent most of the day in the kitchen making her favorite jolly sweets, but now she was waiting for Chris to return from the store so she could finish some last minute delights. But he was taking longer than usual and she started to grow a bit suspicious. In fact, she realized that he had been acting a bit strange since their trip to New York, and she could feel it in her bones that he was hiding something.
Chris finally returned a short time after and he did his best to hide his special surprise. He turned the music up on their stereo and came peering into the kitchen with his phone pointed directly at Billie.
"Hey, if your left leg is Thanksgiving and your right leg is Christmas; can I come in between the holidays?" He teased.
"That's funny." Billie glanced over her shoulder and posed for him because she figured he was taking pictures. But as she waited for the flash she wondered, "What's taking so long?"
"I'm making a video, you fuckin' nerd. But it's so funny how you react whenever there's a camera on you." Chris chuckled. Billie flipped him off and continued cooking even though he kept recording. Chris then asked, "So whatcha making Bee Breezy?"
She told him that she was making some treats for tomorrow's get together. Then she jokingly asked, "But how much whiskey goes into cookies? I'm new to this whole baking thing."
"Real cute you fuckin' lush." Chris replied in his heavy Boston accent.
"I'm your fuckin' lush. And you love me for it."
Billie blew him a kiss and explained that she had just finished making gingerbread cookies and a sweet potato pie, and she was now getting ready to prepare some homemade eggnog, but she needed heavy cream and she asked if he picked some up from the store.
"I got some heavy cream for you, all right?" Chris said in a perverted tone, but taken by surprise when Billie punched him in the chest. "What did I say?"
He passed her the cream and some eggs and he took a seat nearby as she whipped up a quick batch of eggnog. Yet before adding her final ingredients of nutmeg and Brandy, Chris noticed that she poured a glass of liquor for herself.
"Don't think I didn't see that." He teased.
Billie took hard gulp and rolled her eyes. Then she started singing, "so what if I've been drankin', I've been drankin'. I get filthy when that liquor get into me."
