Neighbours

16.

My eyes slowly opened as I stretched my arms out, there was an unfamiliar warmth coming from beside me, I slowly turned my head and small smile creeped onto my face.

Ellen was nestled into my side, quietly snoring. It was super cute and sight I could definitely get used to waking up to every morning. Her eyes began to flutter open and she tilted her head up at me and smiled.

"Morning." I said gently, my voice still raspy.
"Morning." She smiled back.

I smiled and slowly crawled out of bed, stretching a bit before opening the curtains, letting the morning light shine through. Ellen groaned and hid herself beneath the bed sheets.

"Come on sleepyhead." I teased.
"No." She giggled lightly.
"We need to do some Christmas shopping." I laughed, poking at the sheets.
"For who?" She groaned.
"For us, the security guy, parents.." I listed off.

She groaned as I pulled the sheets off of her and sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her hair was sticking up in all different directions, causing me to laugh, she blushed furiously and batted her hair down.

"I'm sorry." I laughed lightly.
"Uh huh." She smirked, hitting me with the pillow before running off to the bathroom.

I shook my head and walked into the closest and picked out some clothes for the day.

I ended up with black jeans, vans and a striped jumper. Then went to the dresser and did my hair and make up, my hair into a messy bun and I did light make up -foundation, blush, winged eyeliner and lip gloss- and headed down stairs to prepare breakfast.

Just as I served up the pancakes Ellen walked into the room, she was wearing jeans and a button up place and a pair of converse with her hair out, and had very little make up on. And she looked gorgeous.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her, planting a small kiss on her lips before we sat down.
She completely soaked her pancakes in maple syrup and whipped cream where as I put a small amount onto mine.

We ate in a comfortable silence, until there was nothing left on our plates.

"So, we need to get a tree and some decorations." I began.
"There's only 9 days until Christmas, what's the point?" She half laughed.
"We've been too busy, but we still need to." I shook my head.
"Okay fine, but what about Christmas Day?" She asked.
"Well it can be just us to, unless you want family then." I shrugged.
"Just us sounds cool." She nodded.
"Okay well we can mail off your parents presents if you want." I suggested.
"Sounds good, and what about yours?" She agreed.
"Guess we'll just have to take them there." I sighed.
"Your mum will have to be nice, it's Christmas." She tried to reassure me.
"I hope so." I smiled lightly.

We were interrupted by a knock on the door, I got up to answer it while Ellen got started on the dishes. I walked out of the kitchen and down the hall and opened the door. It was only Terry, the security guy. I smiled and gave him a quick hug before closing the door behind him.

I offered him some pancakes and he happily excepted. He sat down where Ellen was previously sat and instantly dug into his food. While I helped Ellen with the dishes.

"So Terry, Christmas is coming up."
"And?" He asked.
"Well what do you want?" I asked over enthusiastically.
"Nothing." He shook his head.
"Come on theres gotta be something." Ellen continued.
"Nope." He half laughed.
"You live alone right?" I smirked.
"Yeah, why?" He asked confused.
"No reason." I smirked.

He looked at me weirdly before shaking his head and going off to do his rounds of the house while Ellen and I finished off the dishes.

Once we'd finished Ellen grabbed her car keys and we were out of the door and into the car, hand in hand and heading down the road into town and to the mall.

Another short fill in chapter, hopefully I will have the next chapter up tonight, maybe, but until then, vote and comment if you want.

If anyone has any suggestions for what this chapter could be called please go ahead because I have no idea, a chapter like tis probably can't be named? But if you have any suggestions let me know!

Also who's excited for Christmas? I am probably a little too excited. Only 9 days left! Ah!

Bye! :)
