This is Love.

Chapter 46.

Monday- Christmas Day: 8am-
"Merry Christmas!" I shouted out to everyone, as I ran downstairs in my Christmas pudding onesie. Mum was cooking the usual annual Christmas breakfast, seasoned scrambled eggs, bacon, hard-dough bread, plantain, pancakes and seasoned beans.

We also had the choice of either hot chocolate, coffee, tea, juice or water to drink. All laid out on the table neatly, I was so excited to eat.

"Since you have been up from early cooking mum, I will serve up for you first" I said.
"Oh my gosh you are a such a suck up" dad said laughing.

It's Christmas Day, and I was in a good mood, I ended up serving food for everyone. I served up my food last and finally sat down to eat.

9.25am-
The door bell rang, I put my cutlery down, exhaled and opened the door. "I'll get it shall I?" I said as nobody even looked up. After all the Bradley drama, I don't know why I was so eager to get the door, and I don't know why my family let me. I almost passed out laughing, Daniel was standing at the door, in a Santa Claus costume with a brown cloth sack.

He walked passed me into the house, and I closed the door. "Ho, ho, ho Merry Christmas, I bring you gifts and love today" Daniel bellowed. I stood at the door, with my hands over my mouth in shock, as I laughed. Daniel hugged my family one by one, giving them gifts at the same time.

"I hope you have a great, great Christmas Day", Daniel said.

"Thanks Dan!" Isla said biting into a sandwich containing egg, plantain and bacon. I gagged at the sandwich she had put together and looked away.

"Thank you Daniel, that's very kind. Merry Christmas to you and your family too". Dad said looking at Daniel, through the corner of his eye.

"Thank you so much hun, Merry Christmas. Do you want to join us for breakfast?" Mum asked.

"Thank you so much Mrs Ansong, but I have a few more stop offs before I head to church, it looks delicious though".

"Aw okay, I will make you a take away.

"Thank you Mrs Ansong".

9.43am-
"We're coming back",  I splurted out, I did not  wait for an answer, and I took Daniels hand walking straight up to my room.

"Here you go?" Daniel said, presenting me with 2 wrapped gifts, he knelt down as if he was proposing and then he laughed.

I laughed and gave him a big hug. "Talk about best surprise ever", I said not letting go of him.

"Hold on". I quickly ran into my bathroom, swished mouthwash in my mouth, brushed my teeth and came back out. Daniel was standing in my room hands in his pocket looking around.

"You really have to go, huh?" I asked, pouting.

"I do but I'll try and come over tomorrow for Boxing Day".

"No worries I will come to you" I said smiling big.

"Even better".

"Okay close your eyes I need to wrap your gift", I said taking Daniels gift from the back of my closet. I wrapped up the latest Maison Christian Dior Oud, and a gorgeous gift box with lion king tickets inside. I got us front row tickets. He always went above and beyond for me, it was only right that I did the same.

"Okay, open", Daniel opened his eyes and I placed both boxes in his palms.

"Thank you beautiful". Daniel said, giving me a kiss on the lips, even though I looked far from beautiful right now.

We walked back downstairs, and my mum gave Daniel three tupper wear containers filled with food. "Here's a flask filled with hot chocolate, whilst you're working hard this morning. Return it whenever no pressure", mum smiled. Mum was doing too much, but I was also happy to see her making the effort with Daniel, especially after yesterday asking Kevin to come over. I guess she knew that was not the best idea.
