Chapter 19- All I Want For Christmas
Lauren's POV.
So currently we are eating our food with Zayn's family and after this we are going to sing and open the presents and just talk, like my mom explained me. Everyone seemed to be happy and was talking about everything that came onto their minds. Patricia also asked me the recipe to the cake I made yesterday. It tasted even better today with the decoration on it, but before I could answer Patricia my mom made me shut up.
"That's a secret." She said with a smile.
I almost forgot that it was a secret family recipe now.
"Well, it tastes amazing and if you ever think of talking about the recipe, I am next door." She says earning a chuckle from me and Clara.
It was just an Nutella instead of that powder, it wasn't a big secret but it was sure fun to say that it was some big family secret.
"We will clean this up tomorrow, let go and open up some presents." Clara announced and everyone made their way to the living room. I was a little nervous to sing for them, so I obviously did like I forgot that I had sing, hoping that Clara forgot as well.
She told me that maybe me playing the guitar would be a tradition every year, and that didn't sound bad at all. It is just that singing in front of people that expect me to be good or people that actually know me is harder than singing in the mall for people that I maybe won't even see ever again. You never want to let them down.
"Honey, I put your guitar in your room." My mom says as I made my way to the living room. I almost wanted to face-palm myself for hoping that she'd forget, but turned around and made my way my room to get my guitar.
By the time that I returned to the living room Waliyha and Doniya were almost begging Zayn to do something or say something. He kept saying No.
"Mom tell them that I don't want to." He says.
"Don't be so shy honey. You won't be singing alone, Lauren will be singing with you and there are no strangers here so just do it." His mother replied.
Do they want me to sing with Zayn?
Can Zayn sing?
Wait what.
I take my seat next to Zayn, which was the only space left to sit on.
"Zayn is singing with you if you won't mind." Patricia tells me and I give her a small nod.
"Sure, that's cool." I say facing Zayn. His head turned a little red from the discussion with his family which earned a small chuckle from me.
"What are you going to sing?" Safaa asks me all of a sudden.
"I am going to sing All I Want For Christmas."
"Oh my god, my mom loves that song." She says.
"Not just your mom, my parents too. I think that they owe us an explanation to us later." Taylor says and all the adults got quiet.
"Maybe one day we will, but now it's time for Zayn and Lauren to sing." My dad says.
"On three?" I ask Zayn.
"On three." He says with a smile back.
"One." I say grabbing my purple Guitar Plectrums.
"Two." Zayn says says sitting comfortable next to me and is his head turned my way.
"Three." We say together and I started playing my guitar and Zayn starting to sing.
