The Strange Boy (completed)

35

Part thirty-five
Ricky's POV
I woke up, and groaned in frustration. I was in my room, and Ashlyn wasn't with me. I wanted to wake up with her in my arms.
My phone started ringing, and I rolled over to answer it. It was Ashlyn.
"Hey babe." I answered.
"Hey what time are you coming over?" She asked happily.
"Uh around 3:00 pm. I have to spend time with my family, and then my beautiful future wife." I said. She laughed slightly, and I knew she was blushing.
"Okay Mr. Olson see you at 3 then?"
"Of course Mrs. Olson." I said as I hung up.
I got out of bed, and went down stairs. I went to our huge ass tree, and started separating the gifts.
When I was done the door opened. I looked over and saw my sister. She hugged and said "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas." I said back.
I went to the kitchen, and made everyone some coffee, and we opened our gifts.
Before I knew it was 1:30 pm. I went up stairs, and got ready. I pulled on my black skinny jeans, and my black henley t.
Ash goes crazy when I wear this thing. Then the idea hit me. I took off the shirt, and pulled on my H.I.M shirt.
I ran down stairs , and asked "Hey mom do we have anymore gift boxes?"
"Yeah, in the hall closet." She answered with a smile, and knows that it's something about Ashlyn.
I got to the closet, and take out the white box, and black ribbon. I run back upstairs, and fold the shirt into the box.
I finish getting ready, and load all the gifts into my car. I say goodbye to everyone, and drive over to Chris's.
I grab all the gifts, and head for the door. I use my elbow to ring the doorbell, and Ryan answers the door. He helps me out, and we sit the gifts under the tree.
When I turn around Ash has me in her embrace. She is wearing my purple hoodie, a black tank top, jeans, and socks. She's also wearing her solid black glasses, and her hair in a messy bun. She looked so cute.
I hugged her back, and give her a quick kiss. I greet everyone else, and sit down on the couch with Ashlyn.
She's shaking from how excited she is. I intertwine her fingers in mine, and laid back on the couch, and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Hey babe you're going to get your anniversary gift tomorrow since it's not our anniversary now." I said to her.
I felt her nod slightly, and we just listened to everyone's conversations.
"Alright everyone! Time for gifts!" Chris exclaimed with joy.
We all sit down, and open our gifts in order from: Chris, Ange, Ryan, Josh, Tj, me, and then Ash.
We all get what we want, and then it's Ashlyn's turn. She gets a shit ton of makeup so hopefully she won't need anymore for awhile, hoodies, and stuff like that.
Then she comes go my henley t. She unties the ribbon, and opens the box. Her eyes widen, and her look shoots at me. I smile, and she tackles me. She gets off, and everyone is laughing.
We eat, and other stuff like that, and then it's time for everyone to go. I call my parents to tell them I'm staying with Ashlyn for the night.
They understood considering tomorrow is our 9 month anniversary.
Me and Ash head up stairs, and we change into our pajamas. She slips on my henley I gave her, and some pajama pants.
I sit down on her bed when I'm done, and I say "Do you want to exchange gifts in five? It's 11:55 pm."
She nods, and smiles. The time is finally here, and she gets out an card, and hands it to me. I hand her the black velvet box, and she raises an eyebrow at me.
"I know you wouldn't like that now, but I know you wanted this." I said as she opened the box.
She looks up at me, and tackles me. She kisses me, and pulled back.
"You remembered." She whispered to me. I nod in response. "I love it." She says to me.
I smile, and she says "Now open yours."
I open the card, and I take out two H.I.M tickets. My heart literally stops. I look up, and tackle Ashlyn.
I kiss her, and roll over so she's on top of me. She's looking into my eyes, and I'm looking into hers.
"You got them?" I asked her. "How?"
"You wanted them, and I got ordered them, and yeah. You're present for our anniversary." She said.
I kissed her again, and sat up. I pulled back, and saw her phone recording. I turn back at her, and she blushes from getting caught.
"Why were you recording?" I asked her raising an eyebrow and smirking at her.
"I want to keep the memory of our first Christmas together." She says quietly, while looking down.
I put my finger under her chin, and kiss her. I whisper "Perfect." To her, and she smiles, and kissed me again.
I kept kissing her, and then we stopped after awhile. She turned off the recorded on her phone, and turned it off. She crawled into bed, and cuddled into me, and I wrapped my arms around her, and fell asleep happily.
