Crossed Paths

Chapter 8

It's still Christmas

      Alex handed Lily a small box.

Alex: It's not wrapped cause....I'm not really good with that stuff, but whatever.

     Lily chuckled and opened a small box. There was a ring inside the box, a simple ring with no jewels.

Lily: Wow, it's beautiful.

Alex: I didn't steal it I promise.

    Lily chuckled again and gave Alex a hug.

Lily: Thank you so much- wait, this isn't a proposal right?

Alex: No, it's a promise ring. I want you to promise me that we'll never be apart.

Lily: Of course, we'll always be friends.

     Alex frowned at the word friends.

Lily: Are you okay?

Alex: Yea, it's just that you've been calling us friends since 5 months ago and we've gotten to know each other so...

Lily: So you want to be more than friends?

Alex:....maybe.

     Lily laughed as Alex pouted.  

Lily: So do I.

     Alex smiled like a goof and gave Lily a long kiss. 

Alex: I've got another gift.

    Lily looked confused as Alex handed her an envelope. She shook the envelope.

Lily: Is there a gift card in here?

Alex: Yea it's 50 cents off of an actual Christmas card.

     Lily got the joke and laughed, then opened the envelope. There was a card inside that read "It's a girl!" She looked to Alex and gave her a hug.

Lily: Oh my god it's a girl?!

Alex: Oh no did I get the wrong card?

     Lily laughed again and hugged Alex tighter.

Lily: Now I can buy her things, and get her dresses, oh my god we have to paint the nursery!

Alex: Calm down first time dad.

Lily: Hey I'm her second mom, I can be happy.

    Alex laughed and the two shared a nice kiss.

Lily: Merry Christmas.

Alex: Merry Christmas.

Whoop there it is! Lol. Merry late Christmas humans!
