Jack's P.O.V.

I wake up to the bed being empty next to me. We had a sleepover. Alex  must be getting a head start on Christmas dinner. I told him not to start without me! I get out of bed, throw on some sweatpants, not worrying about a shirt I walk down the stairs. I see Alex stirring a batter of some sort in my kitchen, singing along to Front Porch Step. I watch him in amazement for a minute, at how perfect he is. I walk in and wrap my arms around his waist, and begin to swing us back and fourth. I began whispering  the words to lullaby in his ear. "I'm gonna sing it soft. hope to god I sing it well.  My head's above the clouds but my heart's under your spell."  I kiss Alex's cheek. "Move in with me." He turns around with a shocked expression. "What?!" I back away. "Or not." Alex looks at me.. "Jack.. You can't just spring that on me." I nod. "You're right. But wouldn't it be great?" Alex loooked at the ground. "Just let me think about it okay?" he mumbled.  I nod. "Take your time." He kisses my cheek. "Now, you need to help me with this ham." He walked over to the fridge and pulled out a ham. "Can you grab your roaster pan? I don't know where it is." I blinked. "I have no idea what that is.." Alex smiled at me. "It's cute how clueless you are at cooking." I frown and grab the bag of potatoes "You find it, i'll peel these." Alex laughs and begins sifting through my cupboards as I start peeling the potatoes over the garbage.  "Found it!" he shrieks as he lifts this giant pan down from the top of my fridge. It's dusty, indicating it has never been used. "I've never used that, my mom  bought me that after she complained about me not having one..." Alex giggled. "Your mom seems sweet." I laughed "She's one of those ladies that bakes you things, gives great advice, and hugs people frequently, her accent makes everything she says sound nicer. So when she used to punish me, I'd always laugh. I am not quite sure of how she is now because we don't talk, because I am apparently a disgrace" Alex raised a brow at me. "I am so sorry babe." I shrugs. "That is a story for a different day." Alex nods, dropping the subject. "Accent?" I nod. "Yeah. We're from Lebanon.. I thought I told you that?" He smiled. "You may have, I just forgot." I laugh "To bad neither one of us can be become president. We'd rock at it."  I retort. "Damn, whose going to suck my dick from underneath a podium now?"  I scoff "So you're Clinton now?" He  laughed "Yup. Respect me bitch." I laughed as I put the potatoes in a bowl of water, into the fridge. "Now hurry, everyone is getting here in a hour." Alex laughed and slipped the ham in the oven. "Wanna shower together? Ya know, to conserve water."  I smile at him. "Sure." He kisses me. "Great!" He shout as he drags me up the stairs.

****************************

We get out of the shower and I go to my room to get dressed in my "ugly" sweater. We are all wearing one. I personally love mine, it has a picture of two reindeer doin the do on the front with "Merry Christmas ya Filthy Animal!" below it. It's all sewn on there with white string. I walk into the bathroom to do my hair, seeing Alex's sweater, I died. It has santa with a fluffy beard and rosy cheeks. Sounds simple "Push on his cheek." Alex says, so I do it, and suddenly it's mouth opens and goes "Ho Ho Ho " This causes me to go into a fit of laughter. "Okay.. You win." Alex laughs "I love yours though... It cracks me up."  I smile. "Thanks."  I kiss him, as I am about to pull away Alex grips on to me harder. He licks my lip, asking for entrance.  I don't let him in as I lift him up and sit him on the sink. I pull away for a breath, then kiss him again, this time I bite down on his lip, making his mouth open up in protest, I slip my tongue in and began enjoy the familiar taste of Spearmint, and his pomegranate chapstick. I am in love with this boy. We are making out, and it's getting heated when my doorbell rings. Alex pulls away with a sigh, and rests his forehead against mine.  "Go get the door, i'll be right down." I smile "Okay." I check my hair one more time, and walk down the stairs to the door. I open it and see Cass and Rian standing there. "Hey Guys! Merry Christmas!" Rian hugs me "Hey buddy!" Cass smiles then hugs me too showing me her ugly sweater, which matches mine. "Yay! Matching ugly sweater buddies." I squealed as I clap my hands. She laughs "Let's be honest, these aren't ugly, they are awesome." I high five her. "Hell Yeah."  Rian turns around to go back out to the car. "Wanna help me with presents Jack?" I smile "Yeah, Cass there is hot apple cider, and Hot Cocoa in the kitchen, and can you do me a favor, and put the teapot on for Alex?" She laughs "He is so British!" I laugh as I put my shoes on. "Yeah. It's adorable though." I say as I slip out the door, to Rian's car where he is waiting for me with a flash of his bright smile. "Hey Baratwat!" I smile at the nickname. "What up Robert?" Rian frowns "Fuck off man, you know I never use my first name." I nudge his shoulder with mine as I grab one of the boxes of gifts from his trunk. "Sorry.. But did you guys rob the whole store. Holy shit there is a lot of gifts here." He laughed. "That would be Cass's doing... She insists on making us go broke." I laugh, "Sounds like her." Rian nods. "Yup. By the way keep your schedule clear for the weekend of Feburary 26th." I smile "Does this mean I can finally start planning your Bachelor party?" Rian laughs as I use my foot to "knock" on the door, so someone can open it. "Yes you can. Nothing to crazy though." I smile. "Vegas it is!"  Rian kicks my shin  "Owww." He smiles as Alex opens the door "Rob a store?" I laugh "I said the same thing!" Alex laughs. "Makes us wonder." Cass scoffed "No one was robbed!" We all laugh as Rian and I crouch down to add presents to the already full tree. Zack walks over and puts his box down and starts putting them away. When did they get here? "Hey guys!" He says as he puts an arm around my shoulder with a squeeze. I smile "Hey Zack."  Alex walks over "Babe can you come help me with the food?" I get up. "Yeah!"
