Fight Song

Chapter 36-Chritmas P.2

I look up slowly form the letter processing what I just read to see all my family smiling widely. "are you serious?" I ask feeling lost for words. Mum nods, "Yes Tom rang us months ago and said that his brother said it was beautiful there and he would love it if we could all be in the same place on Christmas day so we booked it." "And you're all coming?" I ask pointing to my nan, auntie etc. They nod and daisy comes over and hugs me, "We're going on holiday!" She shouts. "Better pack quickly, we're going for a week!" Dad says. I look at daisy who cannot stop smiling. "wanna come help me daisy?" I ask. He legs it upstairs before I stand up. "Okay, lets get this cleared up and then dressed and ready to go, taxi will be here in just over an hour." I process the information and max helps me carry my ski gear upstairs. I throw my suitcase on my unmade bed and begin to pack what I unpacked. "This is exciting!" Max says. "I know, I can't wait!" My suitcase is packed kinda messily but its packed and I jump in the shower. I quickly dry my hair and pack all my make up and that after I use it. I walk downstairs ready and everyone else suitcases are downstairs. "I made a quick breakfast." Mum says handing me a plate of pancakes with strawberries and syrup. We munch down our food and load the dishwasher together. The house felt manic like home alone does before they go to France for christmas. Dad pulled his phone out and shouted "taxi is here!" We all ran around like headless chickens, I ran upstairs to my room to double check I hadn't left anything. I picked up my handbag and ran downstairs.  "got everything?" Mum asks counting the passports and boarding passes." "yep, all set!" I answer. We all got into the taxi and headed to the airport. I am so excited to see Tom, this is going to be incredible! We got on our flight really quick and I sat in my seat trembling with excitement! My whole family were smiles all round, what an exciting christmas! 

"Ladies and Gentleman we have landed in France, where the time is 12:00. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!" The flight attendant said. I picked up by bag and we went through passport control really quick as its christmas day and not many people fly. "There should be a car for us all its under Tom's name...look out for the name Holland." Mum says as we scan the area. "there!" Nan points and we all follow. "Holland party?" We follow the nice man to the mini bus and he takes us to the hotel. "Do you know the hotel?" My mum asks him. "yes its lovely, very festive!" He replies. I sneeze Daisy's hand in excitement and she jumps in her seat. In 10 minutes we have arrived. "This is the hotel." We thank the driver and walk into the hotel. "Oh wow its like a huge winter cabin." I say admiring it. I walk round in 360 taking it all in and as I turn to face the reception desk again I lock eyes with Harry. Who waves and taps someone on the shoulder. Tom peers round the corner and immediately runs towards me with a huge smile on his face. He pulls me into a huge bear hug lifting me up off the ground and spinning. "Merry Christmas darling." he says as he puts me down. I brush away some hair from his face and plant a well deserved kiss on his lips. "Thank you, this is just...wow." He kisses me once back and we turn to face my family. "Ready to meet everyone?" I ask nervously. "Born ready." He laughs. "Everyone this is Tom, Tom this is Max, Daisy, Lisa, Brain, my nan Tresea and grandad Erol  and my parents  Ian and Debbie." I say. My Nan immediately pulls him into a hug and kisses his cheek followed by my mum and stern handshakes from the men and a lovely hug from Daisy. "I'm gonna drop my stuff to my room and freshen up." I suggest. We get escorted to our rooms and they're all next door to each other. "Wheres our room?" I ask Tom as the corridor ends. "I'll show you." He takes my suitcase and we exit through a door walking on a small pathway which breaks away the snow. At the top of the hill theres a small log cabin decorated all christmasy. "This is ours?" I ask. He inserts his key from his pocket and its breathtaking. "Oh wow, this is incredible. Theres a log fire, with a big brown leather sofa covered in blankets, a huge comfy bed, a deep bath tub and a massive shower. "I cant believe this, this might be the best christmas ever." I say planting another huge kiss on his lips. I don't even unpack my things, I change my clothes to suit the environment and go back to the bar lounge area to meet my family and Tom's.
