"Not gunna lie, this was fun" Ezra says.
"See? Christmas isn't all that bad." I say.
"Alright, I'm headed out. Thank you for inviting me." Petra hugs me.
"Have a good day tomorrow" I wave as she leaves.
Everyone else slowly makes their way out to go to bed, leaving just Haz and I.
"I should get this picked up" I say.
"You know we have maids right?" He asks.
"Yeah, I gave them Christmas Eve and day off. No one should have to work on Christmas" I say, standing up to start picking up the wrapping paper that covered the floors.
"Everything about you is so different to the world I'm use to, and I absolutely love that about you." He says, standing up to help me.
"What? Being kind?" I joke.
"You laugh, but it's true. No one around here is sweet and caring like you. The maids Christmas is the last thing we would have thought about.." he mumbles.
"Everyone deserves to feel important" I say, tossing the last piece of trash away.
"How did I get a girl as amazing as you?" He asks.
"Persistence" I laugh, wrapping my arms around his neck loosely as his hands grab my hips.
"Ah come on, got you with my charm and good looks" he smirks.
"Hmm, no I'd say its cause you stole me every night I was here and got me drunk enough to fall for you" I tease.
"Well either way, I still got you." He smiles.
"Yes you did" I kiss his lips.
"Why don't we go to bed and I'll take care of you" he says, his fingers gripping into my hips more.
"Hell no we're taking the new baby on a ride!" I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Fine" he says.
I excitedly grab my keys and he leads me out to the garage.
He flicks the lights on and I practically scream when I see the beautiful bubblegum pink Lambo.
"Oh my god it's beautiful!" I say, looking it over as I unlock it.
"I knew you'd love it" he smiles.
"You spent way too much.." I say as I look up to him. Even as a millionaire, a brand new customized Lamborghini and a brand new house with all those renovations is expensive.
"Darling, you are worth every penny." He says.
We get in, the smell of new car making me excited. He's already bought me a Rolls Royce, but this? This is my new baby. The interior is white leather, matching well with the pink. This is absolutely my dream car.
"Where should we take it?" I ask.
"How about to our new house?" He asks.
"Yes!" I exclaim, pulling the car out of the garage, it drives so smoothly, and the backup camera is definitely beneficial.
"How do I get there?" I ask.
He gives me directions as I drive down the roads, feeling like my car is literally floating because it's so nice. We drive through a nice neighborhood, not all secluded and secret from the world like Toms house.
We reach a gate, and Haz tells me the pin to get in. I punch it in and the gate starts to open. I like that it's in this neighborhood, but still private.
I drive down the paved road, barely lit by lights, and see the gigantic yard space. It's not just trees like at Toms, it's a beautiful field.
Then the house comes into my sight, and I smile, seeing the beautiful family home, two stories, a wrap around porch, white paint with light blue accents. It's beautiful, absolutely gorgeous.
I park the car and get out, getting the full view of it. There's a window seat, I love window seats. I'll read books to our baby there. A little old porch swing hangs from the edge of the house, creaking as the wind moves it.
"Hazzy I love it" I say.
"Baby are you crying? Don't cry!" He says, pulling me under his arm.
"It's just.. this is everything I've ever wanted.." I say.
"Told you, I want to give you the world. This is the first step" he smiles.
"Can we go inside?" I ask.
"Yes baby" he says.
We walk up the steps, putting the key into the door and opening it.
Haz walks me through, the house pretty torn up from renovations that have been happening over the last week, but it's still a beautiful house. Downstairs is a big family room, a kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. Upstairs is four bedrooms, a bathroom, a couple extra rooms that I can't seem to figure out what we'll use them for. There's also a deck coming out from the master bedroom that I absolutely love.
"It's perfect Haz" I say.
"It will be once all the work is done" he says as we walk back downstairs.
"There's also a four car garage, and a den." He says. "Wanna hear the best part?"
"There's a best part that I haven't seen yet?" I ask.
"I'll show you" he says, pulling me towards the back door.
We walk out back, standing on the huge deck. There's a gorgeous pool, and a hot tub. I see trees all around that we can hang swings from when the baby gets bigger, and a beautiful garden area.
"Right through that garden, on the other side, is our guest house" he says.
"Haz.. this is so much" I shake my head. "This is the perfect life.."
"The perfect life for the perfect girl." He says.
"What would I do without you." I say more to myself than to him. He is the first constant I've ever had in my life, and this time? I know he's going to stay.
