Pass Down The Throne

Chapter 24: Merry Christmas

Alexus Kent POV
CHRISTMAS DAY
Merry Christmas to y'all! Christmas is finally here and I'm so happy. Christmas is my favourite day. I got up really early took breakfasts and now we're just sitting at the table eating together. Everybody is happy, all except Rochelle who's missing her Harlem. We managed to phone Harlem but he isn't able to get a flight so we don't know when he's actually gonna make it back to California.

"Have you heard from him?" Rochelle frowned.

"No, not yet." I shook my head.

"Great(!)" She frowned even more.

"Okay everyone, let's go and open our presents." Yolanda said.

"I wanna open mine first!" Kash yelled and ran to the Christmas tree.

"Oldest first." Omarion said.

"Yep." Orlando popped the p.

"Okay, I'll go first." Johan shrugged.

As they all opened up their presents, I skipped mine. I all I wanted was Harlem and that's all. He hasn't been calling me and I just hope that he's okay.

"Okay, you're turn Rochelle." My mom and dad smiled.

"Why are y'all so happy?" I asked them.

"Just open it up!" Tobias demanded getting frustrated.

"Fine." I opened up the small box and it was a piece of paper.

"Really? Paper?" I pursed my lips.

"Read it." Ma said in a duh tone.

'Go to the garage baby girl'

I stood up and everybody followed me. I don't know but it's probably a car. I got up and made my way to the garage. Entering it, I found my car! I turned around on my heels and went to hug them both.

"Thank you so much!" I grinned.

My car needed repairing for several months. Both my parents suggested that I get another one but I said no. I just wanted my car. I unlocked the car doors and entered inside. I started the car and looked out of the window seeing my siblings point towards me. I furrowed my brows and turned around spotting Harlem in the back seat.

"Harlem!" I immediately took the key out of the ignition and hugged him.

"How did you get in here?!" I kissed his cheek.

"Merry Christmas.." He licked his lips and smiled.

"Your pops got Bone to drive me here." He looked at me.

"Dad.." I looked at him and gave him a shy smile before getting out of the car with Harlem behind me.

"Thank you so much dad." I gave him a hug and he kissed me forehead.

"Anything for you, princess." He chuckled.

"Let's leave them to it." Aunt Keisha took ahold of Uncle O's hand and they soon all left Harlem and I alone.

"I can't believe you're back." I placed both hands on the side of his face.

"Me. Too." He said in between the little pecks of kisses he planted.

"I thought I was gonna stay in New York for quite some time, honestly. The weather was really bad and there was no way that I was getting home." He licked his lower lip and we sat on the hood of the car.

"You haven't been sending me texts back whenever I text you." I pout.

"Yeah, about that.." He scratched his head.
