"Really, Ethan?"

"What?"

"You got me a kids cooking set?"

"Yeah, you love cooking."

"Real food, Ethan."

"I thought it'd be fun,"

"I'm twenty one not four."

"Well, appreciate your new grill."

"Thank you, Ethan. I'm sure I'll have lots of fun cooking up pre-cooked plastic steaks,"

"See," Ethan replied, feeling satisfied.

I chuckled,
"Gray, here is my gift. And I promise it's for ages eighteen and up."

He chuckled, while I handed him the small box wrapped in silver wrapping paper.

He teared open the box, I was so excited to see his reaction, it had taken a lot to get these but I knew he'd absolutely adore them.

"No way.." he spoke, as he took the tickets out of the box.

"What is it, Gray?" Lisa asked, as she turned her attention away from Luca.

"She got me tickets to a kid cudi concert.."

Lisa gasped,
"Addison, no way!" She cheered, peering over Gray's shoulder to look at them.

"Thank you so much,Addy. These must've cost you a fortune...they're really good seats," he chuckled, out of disbelief as he stared at them.

I smiled,
"It was no biggie, I'm really glad you like them!"

"Like? I absolutely love them, thank you again," he smiled, giving me a short hug.

"Alright, where's my gift?"

"Ethan, I told you I wasn't giving it to you today."

"Why not? I didn't wake up at seven in the morning for this," he joked.

"Well now that you mention it, there is actually one small thing I got you," I stated, searching under the Christmas tree.

"Here it is!" I grabbed it and sat back into my seat, handing it over to him.

"You call this one small thing?"

I chuckled, to which he smiled.
"Thank you, baby." He pressed a kiss to my cheek.

His eyes were wide as he read over the Rolex logo repeatedly, in utter disbelief.

"Open it, you doofus."

He did so, and his reaction was even more priceless.

It was an all matte black watch with gold around the rims.

"How did you know which one to get?" He smiled, while beginning to put it on.

"I only saw you looking it up a thousand times."

He laughed,
"I love it, Addy. Thank you."
he smiled, pecking me on the lips.

"So, I know you said you're not giving me that one gift yet but..could I get a hint?"

"Sure, you'll love it."

I glared,
"That's not a hint, Ethan. That's just a plain fact."

"Trust me I know, but I can't give you a hint or else you'll know what it is. And I'm too excited to spoil it."

"Have I always wanted it?"

"I think so, yeah."

"Is it something I can wear?"

"Okay, that's pushing it."

"Well that isn't fair! I gave you two very meaningful things already, I deserve a hint."

"I told you I didn't want you to open the lingerie yet because that'd be pretty awkward with family here," he mumbled.

I chuckled,
"E, thank you but lingerie is the least of my concerns right now."

"Why? It'll look terrific on your body."

"Yeah, for zero point five seconds until you rip it off, and then I can never wear it again."

"Is that why you never wear it?"

"Yes! You've destroyed almost every single piece I had."

"Remind me to calm down and keep it in my pants."

I chuckled,
"Oh trust me, I try to."
