chapter twelve: happy place

Amanda and Simon had been dating for almost a month and it was now Christmas time. It was Christmas and Amanda was going to spend the night at Simon's for Christmas.

She had bought a box of condoms just in case they were going to need them that night. They had forgotten to use a condom after their second date and decided that they should use condoms after that because Amanda could've gotten pregnant from it.

Amanda was waiting to see if she would miss her period. It would be a sure sign that she was pregnant and all they would have to do was take a pregnancy test to see if she was pregnant. She would wait a little bit though, to see if her period was just late or if she really was pregnant.

"'Manda, can you help me wrap this?" Simon said, sitting on his bed and trying to wrap a toy that was going to be a gift for Eric.

"Can't wrap it?" Amanda asked, turning in the bed on to her side to look at her boyfriend.

"Yes. It's difficult," Simon responded.

Amanda rolled her eyes. It was a simple box, a rectangle really. It was easy to wrap and Simon was having trouble with it.

"I'll do it then. You can write the tag," Amanda replied, sitting up in bed and taking the box and wrapping paper from Simon. "I can't believe you can't wrap this simple thing and you're supposed to be good with math stuff. You even said that you were!"

Simon laughed at what Amanda said and replied, "I know. I'm just not that great with geometry stuff. I can't wrap to save my life."

Amanda laughed, her laugh almost sounding like a cackle.

"Maybe that witch costume you wore on Halloween was accurate for you," Simon remarked.

"What's that supposed to mean? That I'm a witch?" Amanda said, still laughing. She swatted at Simon's chest with her hand, making him laugh.

"Your laugh sounds like a witch cackle," Simon replied.

"It does not!" Amanda said. "I don't sound like a witch when I laugh."

"Yes you do," Simon countered. "I'll take a recording of you laughing sometime and you'll see that you sound like a witch when you laugh."

Amanda shook her head and rolled her eyes again as she wrapped the present for Eric. Simon stuck his tongue out at Amanda and she did the same in response.

"You're so childish sometimes," she said.

"Would someone who's childish do this to you?" Simon asked, giving Amanda's lips a kiss. He kissed her deeply and she kissed him back.

"You're ridiculous," Amanda said, laughing and kissing Simon again.

"Let's make love," Simon said, kissing Amanda more passionately. "But I don't have any condoms here."

"I've got some in my bag. I bought us a box for us to use if we wanted to make love tonight, Simon," Amanda replied.

"So we can make love?" Simon inquired.

"Yes, we can make love, Simon," Amanda responded.

It was now Christmas morning so Simon and Amanda had to quickly rush to put their pyjamas back on from the night before and throw away the condoms that they had used on Christmas eve night.

They had been up until around one in the morning making love and snogging until Simon was erect enough to make love again and Amanda had the hickeys on her collar bone, on her neck, and on her breasts to prove that she and Simon had been snogging.

She was now sore in between her legs from how much love making she and Simon had done.

"When am I going to get my Christmas present, love?" Simon asked as he brought Amanda into his arms and kissed her as they laid in his bed, now wearing their pyjamas.

"Tonight you'll get it, Simon. You're calling me love now?" Amanda replied, arching an eyebrow at the nickname and kissing Simon back.

"Yes, because I love you. Do you like it?" Simon questioned.

Eric came running into Simon's room and jumped onto the bed.

"Santa came! Santa came!" He said excitedly. "We gotta open presents! Get up!"

"We're awake," Simon replied, releasing Amanda from the hug. "Do we have to open presents right now?"

"Yes!" Eric said, making Amanda smile and laugh.

"You heard your son. We need to open our presents," Amanda said, echoing what Eric had said earlier.

"I didn't know I had two kids now," Simon deadpanned, his expression trying to stay neutral but Amanda could see him trying not to smile.

Amanda grinned at him and got out of bed. "Let's go get the stockings first," she said to Eric, promting him to run down the stairs and into the living room.

She and Eric came back into the bedroom with Amanda's arms carrying her's, Simon's, and Eric's stockings. Amanda put them onto the bed and got back in, giving Simon his stocking.

Eric opened up his stocking, his face lighting up with each small toy that he pulled out of it. Simon grinned when he pulled out a copy of the book that he had been dying to read and gave Amanda a quick hug, pulling her closer to himself.

She put her head onto his chest and got out what was in her stocking and looked in it, her face reddening when she saw the last thing in the stocking. It was a box of Simon's favourite brand of condoms. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw the box and shot Simon a glance, her eyebrow raised.

Amanda knew what she put in his stocking and when Simon blushed, she knew what he had found. She had put a box of Simon's favourite condoms in his stocking as a hint to what she was going to give him that night.

"We gotta go open presents," Eric stated.

"Why? Can't 'Manda and I stay here and you bring your presents in?" Simon asked his son.

"We gotta open them downstairs. It's the trad-" Eric couldn't say the word tradition, much to Simon and Amanda's humour.

This was what Amanda could get used to. She could get used to cuddling with Simon in the morning and being with Eric. Simon's house was her happy place.
