Get It How You Live

22

Ty and I woke up at around eleven-thirty Christmas morning. We were both really worn out from making love all of yesterday. Who knew that love could feel so good?

After I put our covers and sheets in the washing machine and got in the shower, I went into the closet struggling to find something to wear. I was sorting through racks of clothes when I felt Ty's secure arms wrap around me.

"Baby, I don't know what to wear." I complained.

He kissed my cheek. "You look good in everything."

"I don't want your parents to look at me like I'm slut if I wear a croptop, but I want to be comfortable too."

"You don't have to try to impress my parents." He began to pry my towel open.

"You think you slick, don't you?" I got out of his grasp and closed my towel.

"I don't think, I know." He pulled me close to his chest and kissed me. "Ja, you got that good good."

"I know I do. It's all yours." I kissed him once more. "I need to find something to wear."

"How 'bout we match?" he suggested.

"OK."

Ty picked out a navy blue Huaraches, tan khaki skinny pants, and his navy blue Huaraches. I picked out my navy blue croptop hoodie, tan khaki skinny pants, and my navy blue Huaraches.

"Are you satisfied?" Ty asked me.

I looked over at him. "No."

I picked out a navy blue tobagan, a silver bracelet, and a pair of silver hoop earrings.

"Now I'm satisfied." I smiled.

Ty laughed and shook his head. "You are a trip."

After Ty and I got dressed, he put the presents in his truck and we got ready to go. Ty opened the door for me to go out first, but I ran back in the house when I felt the cool air hit my stomach.

"Ooh, baby it's cold." I grabbed Ty's North Face jacket and slipped it on.

"Don't be a punk." Ty teased.

"I'm not being a punk," I say, "I'm being cold."

We got into the car and set off for my parents house.

When we arrived at my parents house, Ty's parents were already there.

"Merry Christmas." we greeted them.

"Same to you." they say.

We all finally settled down in the family room to open gifts.

I got Jaya two pair of skinny jeans from New York & Company, two shirts from Aeropostale, a pair of hot pink Huaraches, and some jewelry. I bought Jalen some outfits and a bunch of toys. I bought Sasha some diamond earrings from Tiffany's and I bought my dad a watch from Fossils. Ty and I bought his mom a diamond necklace from Tiffany's and we bought his dad a watch from Fossils, which was last minute. I bought Ty a pair Jordans, clothes, and tickets to the Knicks game.

"Wow, baby the seats are on the floor, too." He kissed my cheek. "Thanks, baby."

I smiled. "That's what you put on your Christmas list."

We laughed.

Sasha bought me three pair of skinny jeans, three Hollister croptops, and a pair of navy blue Uggs. My dad bought me a pair of tan Sperry's, two tickets to the Bryson Tiller concert, and a pair of black suede boots from the Kenneth Cole collection. Jaya "bought" me a pair of skinny jeans from Aeropostale, and a Lily Pulitzer phone case. Ty's parents bought me an all day pass to the spa.
