You Know My Name, Not My Story

Something Old XXVI: Christmas Eve

Philip's POV

We've arrived at my house and everyone greeted each other with hugs and kisses. I loved how everyone was so happy, it also made me happy.

We decorated the whole house.

The kids and our parents decorated the inside and Alice, Edmund, Aurora, Angelica, Alexander Jr and I decorated the outside.

"I really hope it will snow on the Christmas Eve!" said Aurora.

"Me too, it would be...erm...a Christmas miracle!" said Alex Jr.

We all agreed and kept on decorating.

Alex and Aurora went inside to get more decorations.

"Sooo...my dear brother, have you done anything unholy with our pure Alice yet?" asked Angelica. I have to admit that she is sometimes saying things at the wrong time.

"My God, Angie." said Edmund.

"What? Didn't you also do it, Eddie?" she teased Edmund.

He blushed but rolled his eyes and denied her.

"What on Earth, Ed? And you didn't even tell me?!" asked Alice, concerned and kept on teasing Edmund.

"Jesus Christ, guys, mind your own business!" said Edmund.

"Right, so? Philip?" asked Angelica.

"What?" I asked pretended to be confused.

"You heard my question very well! You can't deny me!" she said.

"Is it really the moment, Ange?" I asked.

"Philip and I known each other for 4 years now. We are together since more than 6 months. I'll let you do the thinking, Angie." said Alice and literally winked at me. She winked at me.

And she was the one who told me not to give any subliminal messages! Damn, I love her.

Edmund cleared his throat and looked at me like he was about to murder me.

"We'll talk about that later, Hamilton." said Edmund and it gave me chills.

"Geez, Eddie." sighed Alice.

Angelica had a sinister laugh.

We all came back inside and everyone talked and laughed. It was a great night.

The Williams' went back to their house before midnight and so did Alice.

The next morning, I woke up at my mother calling my name for breakfast.

I went downstairs and everyone was already sitting on the table. I greeted all of them and then we ate.

"So, Pip, how is college going?" asked my mother.

"I have lots of work to do but also very great." I said and wiped my mouth with a napkin.

"What about your friends there?" asked my father.

"I have a few nice ones. It's all good, you know?" I said and smiled.

My father nodded and smiled.

"Look outside! It's snowing!" said James, my little brother.

Everyone turned their head to the balcony and saw the beautiful snowflakes falling down.

"Woah!" said Angelica.

"Majestic, extravagant!" said my father.

"The Christmas spirit isn't the Christmas spirit without snow!" said my mother.
