When we were young (a Starkid fanfiction)

Merry Christmas?

The holidays started amazing. Christmas came sooner than I expected, one morning I woke up and it was just there. I was always a big fan of Christmas, all the presents, everyone dressed pretty, and everything was just so cheerful. I woke up that day around ten o'clock, it was nice to sleep late for a change. I got dressed in my Christmas outfit, green skirt, white blouse and red heels. Too much colours, I know, but once a year I have a right to it, and it isn't a proper outfit if you don't have both green and red. You may wonder why I wore heels when I'm going to spend the morning at home? Well it's Christmas, and I have to look perfect all day, besides, you never know when someone might stop by. I was about to make my way downstairs when I remembered I could try and wake Joey up. I called him on his cellphone, we couldn't communicate through windows now, it was too cold, but he didn't answer. Still asleep I assume. So I sent him a text: 'Merry Christmas love. Call when you're up.' 

When I got down to the living room I found my mom and dad already up, drinking coffee and eating cakes and stuff.

''Merry Christmas'' I greeted kissing and hugging them both.

''Merry Christmas dear'' they both replied, and I then joined them for breakfast. That didn't last long, 'cause I kept looking towards the gifts under the tree the whole time.

''I think it's time we open them'' my dad finally said seeing how impatient I looked.

''Thank you daddy'' I replied and quickly got up and made my way towards the tree.

''That one's just from me'' my mom said also getting up from the couch and joining me, as well as dad. I opened it and inside were beautiful, one of a kind, light blue and white Valentino shoes. They were absolutely breathtaking.

''I'm in love'' I whispered to myself, but my mom heard it and smiled happily.

''I think they will match perfectly with that gift over there'' my dad said pointing at a small, flat present. It was a beautiful white gold, two inch thick necklace with matching earrings. Wow, was all I could think. I also got a Chanel perfume, and a set of Bourjois make-up. If you're wondering what I got my parents, for my mom a perfume and a beige silk scarf, and for my dad a box of cigars. What can I say, we're a classy family. I put on the necklace and the earrings immediately. I wanted to wear the shoes as well, but the colours didn't fit for today. An hour later, I got a phone call from Joey.

''Merry Christmas love'' he said as soon as I answered.

''Merry Christmas to you too'' I replied with a smile on my face.

''Let me guess'' he started, ''you already opened the presents?''

''How did you know?''

''You sound even happier than usual.''

''Ha-ha'' I replied, even though I actually laughed a little, ''anyway, when are you coming over?''

''Actualy I was just calling to ask that, my parents want to stop by as well, so is now a good time?'' he asked.

''It's perfect'' I replied and hung up. And ten minutes later, he and his parents were in our living room.

After wishing each other all the happiness, or whatever, I was kind of tired repeating the same sentence over and over, me and Joey went up to my room, to spend some alone time.

''I have a gift for you'' I said to him when we sat on the bed.

''Oh really?'' he acted surprised, ''I have one for you too.''

''Well, here you go'' I gave him the present, and waited for him to open it. By the look on his face, I'd say he liked it. It was a set, a bottle of his favourite whiskey Johnnie Walker Blue Label, two glasses and an ice pincer. I knew he would love it.
