Alpha Dom (Completed)

Chapter 36

Stef's POV

"Dom wake up. It's your birthday!" It's 6:50 and I'm slapping Dom's butt in attempt to wake him.

"No, it's to early." He groans into a pillow.

"Come on. It's Christmas!"

"One more hour." He rolls over onto his back.

"Your gonna make me cry"

I collapse onto his chest.

"Don't cry. You're to beautiful to cry." His eyes are still closed but he strokes my hair.

I don't respond.

"I love you." He says out of the blue.

His eyes open waiting for my reaction.

"I love you too Dom."

We smile at one another.

"Let's go then." He sits up and rubs his eyes.

Instantly I shoot up and do a little happy dance.

After my dance I grab his hand to pull him out of the door.

"Wait I need a shirt."

"Forget the shirt! Let's go." I have to literally drag him the rest of the way. He just laughs at me.

Finally we make it to the living room were the Christmas tree is.

"Merry Christmas." I say hugging mine and Dom's parents then max and Danny's.

They all embrace us with warm hugs.

"The little children just couldn't wait so they've already opened their presents." Mrs. Wright explains.

Dom sits down on the lazy-boy then pulls me onto his lap.

"Since we're all here, Stefanie will you help me?" Mrs. Wright says picking a square shaped present with a silver bow on top and reads the label.

I stand to my feet to help her pass out gifts.

"To max from Dom; to Scott and Carole from the Moore's." The gift giving went on and on between the four families.

Once everything was passed out I take a seat next to Dom.

There's a small pile of of randomly shaped boxes and gift bags before us.

Everyone has started opening presents so I hand Dom one of ours.

"Here, this is from your mom and dad."

He takes the small box removes the ribbon and opens it.

It's a gift card for he and I to El blú. A really fancy restaurant in the city.

We both thank Carole and Scott.

"This ones for you." We both say in unison holding each other's own gifts.

We trade. Mine is from Danny.

I open the small box to find a pink scarf, pink nail polish and a gift card for a spa retreat.

I burst into laughter because I got her the same gift card to the same spa. Perhaps we'll go together.

"From max," Dom reads the card aloud.

"I know you've been stressed lately so I thought this might help. Maybe Stef will help you use it."

Max smirks.

Dom looks at max and shakes the box before he rips the gift rap off.

He stares down at the box, grinning.
