Till There Was You (George Harrison Story)

Chapter 45

(A/N: this chapter is kind of like a side story, so it might be a bit shorter than the other chapters.)

It's been a few weeks, and December was here. And what's in December? The holidays of course.

Now growing up, I've never celebrated Christmas, but I spontaneously decided that this year would be the Harrison's first family Christmas. And I wanted to surprise George since he had recently went back to India for a bit to see Ravi for a project that they were thinking about.

So on Christmas Eve, Zuri and I had first went shopping to find some gifts for George, which was a bit hard at first, but then I found a few things that might interest him.

Then I bought a few things for Zo and myself, because why not, and I went back home. When I got there, I fed Zuri and put her to sleep, then Adam came over to help me with the decorations.

"Thanks again, Adam." I said as he placed the Christmas tree in the living room. "I'm glad to help, Bri." He said with a smile and grabbed some decorations he had bought. "Since you've never had Christmas before, I'll show you how to decorate the tree." He opened the boxes and began to place the ornaments on the tree.

After observing him, I grabbed a ladder and began to decorate it with him. And when the tree was beautifully decorated, we put the ladders away and I began to wrap the gifts that I bought for George and Adam's eyes widened when he saw George's gifts.

"You bought him those? That's expensive!" He said in shock, looking at the gift. "Well, George deserves the best. And I didn't know what else to get him. He's a mysterious man. And men like that make it hard to shop for them. So I bought him what I thought he'd like. And if he doesn't like it, I'll just return it."

I thanked Adam once again before he left, and I went to check up on Zuri, who was mesmerized by her stuffed animals, before I went back to wrapping George's gifts. When I finished, I placed his gifts under the tree, then I received a call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Brielle." I instantly recognized his voice, and I answered a bit too excitedly.

"Hey George! How's India?"

"It's fun. I just miss ye and Zuri a lot."

"We miss you too! At least we'll see you later today like you planned!" I looked at his gifts, realizing how excited I was to see him.

"Um about that... I'm staying for the next couple of days. A few of our plans were delayed, y'know?" I heard and felt my heart shatter in a few pieces.

"Oh.. um.. alright. That's fine. I'll see you when you get back, right?"

"Yeah of course. I'll see ye and Zo soon. I have to go. Bye, Brielle." He hung up, and I felt the tears fill my eyes. Christmas might have to be a little then usual, nothing too drastic. I should've expected that since I'm with a huge star.

The day passes by a bit quick, and I took care of Zo, which I fed and changed her diaper. Then I rocked her and sang to her until she fell asleep. Then I climbed into my empty bed, and fell asleep, holding on to George's pillow.

The next morning couldn't have been more dreadful for me. I walked right out of bed and headed for the shower. When my shower finished, I ate and looked at the tree. I was planning to take it down, until I realized that there were more gifts than I had out under the tree.

I walked over to the tree and looked at the gifts, and saw my name on them. "Aren't ye going to wait for me and Zuri?" My head turned quickly when I heard George's groggy morning voice and I saw him standing with Zuri in his arms.

"You're home!" I said and ran up to him and kissed him. "I thought you were going to stay for a couple of days?!" He laughed and kissed me back. "I thought I was, but I realized that I had to come home and see me favorite girls!" He kissed Zuri's forehead and walked over to the tree. "Well let's open these gifts!"

He placed Zuri in her rocker and we began to exchange gifts. "I didn't know what to get you, but I hope you like what I got." I said nervously before handing him his first gift. He opened it and his eyes widened.

"It's gorgeous, love. I love it." He kissed me again and opened the rest of his gifts. Then he handed me my gifts, and I opened them. It was a beautiful camera. He knows I love taking pictures. "I needed one of these! Thank you!" I hugged him and looked at my new camera, before turning it to him and taking a picture.

"Enjoying your gift?" He held Zuri as he sat on the floor, and I rested my head on his chest. "The best gift was you being here for Christmas. Our first one together." He smiled and kissed mine then Zuri's forehead. "Merry Christmas, Bri and Zo." "Merry Christmas, Geo." I kissed his cheek and he blushed softly. "I can't wait for New Years."
