Tuesday 12pm- Boxing Day:
It is Boxing Day and Daniel has invited me over for dinner at his house with his family. His family coming over to his was a last minute plan, he told me that he usually goes to theirs to chill, and have left over Christmas dinner. He explained that this year, they decided to spend Boxing Day at his apartment, as he was travelling to LA in a few days to start shooting Pacific Rim.

Once I was dressed and ready, I sat down with my family to have Boxing Day lunch. Basically an extended Christmas dinner, the food always tasted nicer the next day. I hoovered down dessert, sweet berry crumble with ambrosia creamy custard, each spoonful embraced my tongue with love. Not only was my mum an incredible cook she was an even better baker.

I offered to do the clean up as I was going out to Daniels house. This was the first Boxing Day I would not be at home all day with my family. Doing the usual Boxing Day things, such as, chilling out in our pj's all day, eating and watching movies. However, I am boo'd up now and sometimes traditions have to change.

I packed an over night bag, and I hugged my family goodbye and left. I got into my car, and started to drive to his house. 'Anita Baker- Just Because' played in the car.

I was the first to arrive, as I did not want to have to awkwardly introduce myself with everyone watching me, if I got there late. I preferred for his family to arrive later, when I already was at the house.

Daniel opened the door for me and I stared at him smiling, he looked so handsome. "Excuse me sir, it is a crime to look so handsome, you beautiful, gorgeous man" I said laughing.

His hair was freshly shaped up, his hair was curled to perfection as it stood in a high top. He wore a tight black T-shirt, which complimented his arms and a gold chain. Also, fitted black trousers and black yeezey 350's. That's my man I proudly admired.

"But look at you though", Daniel said taking my hand and lifting it high as I twirled for him

"But look at you though", Daniel said taking my hand and lifting it high as I twirled for him. I wore a knee length, velvet deep plunge burgundy long sleeved, skater dress and opaque tights with boot heels. I wanted to look presentable for his family, but also sexy for my man, it was all about having that balance.

He had made such an effort to decorate his house for Christmas. He had placed Christmas candles in the corridors, the candles illuminated the corridor with their soft blaze. He lined his shelves with tinsel, and tried his best to decorate his tree. Emphasis on the word tried, as the balls were scattered the colours gold, blue, red, and pink didn't really match and the silver star at the top of the tree. The star was so heavy, the tip of the tree bent to the left.

I turned my stare from the tree and decorations to Daniel, as I looked into his pretty brown eyes. I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness which he clocked onto immediately.

"What's up? Are you feeling nervous about meeting my family?" He asked.

"No, well yeah that too, but I just remembered you're leaving me in a few days to go LA".
