Destiny & Distance

27°

As a matter of fact, Lisa knocked on the door at 7AM, we were talking so it didn't took long for us to go downstairs, my mother-in-law was actually surprised when he saw us up so early but then realized the reason when she saw unknown gifs underneath the tree. It was a very joyful time, once again I thanked life and destiny for leading me to this family, who would have thought I was going to end up spending such an amazing Christmas? When I first arrived this country I thought this Christmas was going to be a depressive one, and even though I do miss my family, I'm just happy and can't dissimulate it. We sat on the couch near to the Christmas tree and started to open the gifts, turns out they bought me gifts too but the one that made me laugh the most was Scott's, he had bought me Victoria's Secret lingerie, as soon as I opened it my face turned red and he winked at me, he knew deep inside his brother and I were going to end up together... I bought presents for each one of them, even Shawn, and I was nervous about it, I wasn't sure if they were gonna like it but turns out they did. Chris bought me a Louis Vouitton maroon tote which I absolutely adored

—Love how these colors look on you -he says smiling at me as I open the bag-

—Loved it, babe -I went in for a hug- thanks -I mouth close to his lips before I kissed him-

—Love these lovebirds -Shanna says awwing-

—Me too -Robert adds-

—You guys are so nice -I say- and since we're all gathered and it's christmas, I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you guys, I'm thankful for having such an amazing people as you in my life, thanks to you I'm having an unforgettable Christmas when months ago I thought I was going to spend it alone on my apartment crying -I paused to laugh a bit, all of them were looking at me- so, thank you for accepting me at your house -I smile, finalizing-

All of them had huge smiles at their faces

—We love you, girl! -Carly cheers me up-

—I would say again you're like a daughter to me but since you're with my son it'll sound weird -Lisa laughs, and so did we- but I do want to let you know that you've earned all my love as if I had met you years ago, -she pauses- and I hope you two can create a strong healthy relationship that won't fade with time

—We hope so too -Chris says, pulling me closer to him, we were sitting next to each other, his arm over my shoulder-

—Love this family, love my wife, love my children, love my children's couples -Robert says- I hope we stay united, always.

—You're gonna make me cry -Scott says- and I can't cry right now -I laugh and so did Shanna-

—You seem like really good people and I hope we can share more moments like this together -Shawn adds, too-

I loved this bond, this is what Christmas is about. Bonding time, family time

My phone vibrated, I looked it up to see a text message from my mom.

My princess, I miss you. Hope you're having a good time, your dad told me I have a son-in-law ;)
Christmas' not the same without you...

And even thought I really loved this family, there's no other like your own... What if someday we can spend Christmas together? Like, Chris' family and my family together, that'll be awesome, and a mess too since my mom doesn't speak english yet.

Mom, I miss you like crazy, I'm having a great time thankfully, but I truly want to be with you too... And yes, Chris and I are together, we're planing on moving together but to L.A, I haven't talked about it to anyone but you yet

—Your mom? -Chris asks whilst looking down at my phone, I nod- tell her I said hi

Isn't that too soon, daughter? But anyways, I wish you and Chris the very best, all I want is for you to be happy, as long as you and your sister are happy, I'm happy too

It might be too soon but it doesn't feel like it, so we're not worried about it. And he does makes me happy, but I'll be happier with you here... Chris told me to say hi to you haha

I'm happy for you, my little girl. Tell him that I trust him to take care of you... And I want grandchildren soon!

—My mom's crazy -I giggle-

—Why? -Chris asks with a funny expression-

—I told her you said hi and she replied with "tell him I trust him to take care of you, and I want grandchildren too"

—Well well, we want them soon too -Robert overhead our conversation-

—We will take step by step first -I answer jokingly-

The morning went by, we stayed the whole time drinking hot chocolate again and eating cookies as if there was no tomorrow, listening to Robert and Lisa's memories of their children, by 11AM we decided to go out to eat, hoping to find somewhere to eat

We all went back to our rooms, -well, I went back to Chris' since I wasn't at my own home- showered and changed, thank god I'm a cautious woman who brought more clothes than usual and changed... Because, imagine going to eat on Christmas Day at 12PM with a fancy black dress on or some PJs

I had packed up in my bag something comfy but right for the weather

—See? This is what happens when you're a cautious woman -I say to Chris-

—What?

—Not ending up using PJs, last night's outfit or your boyfriend's clothes -I joke-

—I prefer you naked, that's my favorite outfit of yours -he smiles at me as he rubs perfume on his neck-

—Mmm... I'll keep that in mind -I wink and went close to him to give him a kiss-

—Perfect -he says as he grabs my hand, pulling me out of his room-
