~Sheo~ It Takes Time {ON HOLD}

Chapter 27

Shai's POV:

My mom, Tanner, Ansel, Ian, and Brent sit in my house.

It's Christmas Eve.

It never snows on Christmas in Los Angeles but it did this year.

We sit in the living watching Christmas family movies.

Ian, Brent, Mom, and I sit in one chair,

Ansel and Violetta in the love seat,

And Tanner in the la-z-boy.

My phone rings.

"Merry Christmas," Theo says.

"Not so Merry for me."

"Well we need to change that."

"How?"

"Hold on, love. See you later?"

"Yea," I say sighing.

Wait..

See me later?

The door rings.

"I'll get it," Ansel says grinning, Ian and Brent follow him.

I nod.

Five minutes pass.

"What's taking them so long?" Mom asks.

"Knowing Ansel, he probably went to give the boys an extra cookie before bed," I say. "I'll go check on them."

I walk to the kitchen and there sit Ian and Brent eatings a gingerbread man cookie.

"Where's Uncle Ansel?" I ask.

"Mama, D--" Ian starts but Brent cuts him off with a, "Ssh!"

Ansel walks into the kitchen.

"Shai, someone's at the door for you," he says grinning.

"What's going on Ansel?" I ask.

"Nothing, just go."

"Bossy."

I walk to the door and their stands a grinning Theo.

"Oh my God," I say.

I throw my arms around him.

"Merry Christmas, love," he whispers in my ear.

We pull back.

I laugh as tears fall down my face.

He wipes my tears.

"Well, don't end the sweet moment like that," a voice says.

We look over to see Tanner, Mom, Melissa, Ian Harding, Ansel, Brent, Ian, and Violetta.

Theo and I laugh.

Theo flicks his eyes above our heads and then back at me.

I look up to see Theo holding a mistletoe over our heads.

I grin and kiss him.

He places his hands on my waist.

"Eww," Ian and Brent say in unison.

Theo and I pull back.

Ian and Brent walk over and hug Theo.

I smile as Theo brings them up.

Theo pulls me into the hugs and Melissa snaps a picture.
