Brice POV
I open my eyes and Emma and Blessing are in my face.
"What the fuck" i say in my morning voice
"MERRY CHRISTMAS" they yell
"Merry Christmas?" I say as more of a question
"Why are we so happy this morning. Its just another day" i say
"The day that Jesus was born and we are going to church"Emma say getting off my bed
"We are?"i ask
"The guys and Angel will be here in half an hour" blessing says walking out of the room
What?
I hop out of bed and do my morning routine before walking to my closet and pulling out a red dress that comes above my knees with lace sleeves and pairing it with black Heels. I curl my hair and walk downstairs. Emma has on a white sweater dress and Blessing has on a black dress thats short sleeved.
"Come on they're outside" Emma says and we walk outside.
"Where was dad" i ask before we reach the car
"Probably out drinking" Blessing mumbled and we got in the van.
Emma sat up in the passenger seat cause Za was driving and Blessing sat next to a guy named Taylor and then Justin and Angel and I sat in the back with...Khalil.
"You look very pretty today" he smiles down at me
" so I looked crusty the other days" I ask and he looks at me shocked
"No i- i mean you loo-"
"Im just joking" I laugh
He nods his head.
"I told them" he mumbles
I look at him...I must've heard him wrong.
"What?" I whisper
"I told them...everything" he says
"Why would you go off and tell them about my messed up Past.You didn't even talk to me about this first before blurting-"
"They needed to know Brice. Za likes Emma and Taylor likes Blessing...they need to know why they cant be together" he explains and i sit there taking it in.
"Im sorry" he says
"I-its ok. I get it" i sigh and he smiles.
We pull up to a church and khalil helps me down the car. We walk into the church and sit in the back as the Pastor preaches.
During the middle of the service, Khalil would grab one of my curls and play with it as I try to swat his hand away and then Justin would try to hold Angels hand but she would keep slapping his. At the end of service we got up and greeted the Pastor.
"Ive never seen you three before" he says referring to me and my cousins
"They are new here. I thought Id bring them" Za states and the Pastor nods
"Then I do hope you continue to come." He smiles and gives us a hug.
I smile. I like this. I like going to church and feeling whole.
"Ok next stop...my house" Khalil says and we all load into the van again.

Everyone is just talking and hanging out and I met Connor today. He is so adorable but i think that Khalil is a little jealous that I'm talking to Connor more than him.
"PRESENTS" Justin yells and everyone opens gifts as Me and Blessing and Emma sit on the couch awkwardly.
I take off my heels cause they are killing my feet and then I'm handed a box from the boys. I look to my right and Blessing and Emma have one too. We rip them open and i see that i have an iPhone 6 in gold. So do Blessing and Emma. We look at everyone and smile.
"Thanks guys so much" emma says smiling
" no problem..you guys looked liked you were a minute away from upgrading to a flip phone so we had to step in" Taylor says and Emma almost flips him off.
We all start chatting and Khalil motions me over to him by the door. I get up and shiver cause the floor is cold. I stand in front if him and he hands me a box.
I look at him before opening it. In it is an art sketch pad with sharpies, pain brushes, colored pencils,pencils, and paint all in one kit. I look up at him.
Khalil POV
Her eyes light up once she opens the gift and she looks at me and for the first time...she gives me a huge big smile. She really smiles. I smile back.
"Thank you. This...all of this means so much to me..to us" she says looking over at her cousins
"Its not a big deal" i say
"Yes it is! Me and my cousins had nothing. We aren't poor but we were being treated wrongly and then you come and you just start acting like a fairy godmother...making things happen...thank you" she smiles
We hear a whistle and look at everyone who are in the living room. They are all looking at us and then Za points up. I look and theres a mistletoe. I look at Brice and she has one eyebrow raised.
"I didnt plan this I promise" i say putting my hands up in defense and she rolls her eyes.
"Well...KISS" my mom yells and i look at Brice and shes blushing.
I grab her gently by the neck and bring her closer. I look into her beautiful eyes and our lips touch. They move in synch; everyone woof howling and clapping in the background; and when we pull away her eyes are still closed and I smile.
Her eyes open and we pull away.
"Woah" we say in unison
"Khalil...its been more than a week" she whispers
Its been more than a week.
