Chapter 33

                                                                                 Brooklyn P.O.V.

I drive home and double-check I have everything packed and just as I bring my bags down my mom pulls into the driveway. She walks in and we greet each other as she changes into jeans and a red blouse and we get in her car but I drive us to Dallas's house.

"Are you excited for Christmas sweety?" My mom asks as I drive. I nod "I am."

The mood in the car seems to shift, it becomes somber, sad. "I miss him" I say after a few minutes of silence. "So do I, can you imagine what he would've done when he found out you and Dallas were together," she says with a laugh and I laugh too.

 "They always got along didn't they," I say and she nods, "Yes, yes they did," she says with a sigh as I pull into the driveway. As we're getting our bags Dallas, Dawson and to my surprise Cat walk out, "Hey Brook," Dallas says and walks over to us. 

Cat and dawson smile at me, "Hey Brook" Cat says. "Hey Cat, nice to see you again."

"same to you," she says.

"Hey brook, I was just about to take Cat home," Dawson says as he opens his passenger door for Cat. "I'd probably crash the car going on the ride side of the road or get distracted," she says with a laugh before looking back at Dallas, my mom and my self, "You know, Brook, if you'd like you could come over with Dawson tomorrow, Dallas can come too, I'm sure my mum would be excited to see that I've met some people,"

I look back at my mom and she gives a shrug as she walks over the door to give Angelica a hug, "I'd love to," I say and look at Dallas, "We'll be there," he says with usual charming smile and Cat smiles before getting in the car. 

Dawson gets in and drives away as Dallas walks over to me, "Hello sweetheart," he says in a low voice and kisses my cheek.

"Hello, baby," the name rolls off my tongue without a thought and Dallas smirks. 

"Shut up," I mumble as we walk into his house, "I didn't say anything," he says and raises his hand in defence.

We walk in and Angelica walks over to give me a hug before telling me to go upstairs and puts my bags down so I smile and walk upstairs and Dallas runs up the steps and opens the door to his room for me, "Thank you," I smile at him and put my bags down by the wall.

"My present in there," Dallas asks and I nod before turning to face him, "But stay away," I say and point my finger at him in warning, "I won't, I won't" he says with a chuckle then he opens his arms and I walk into them as he wraps his arm around my waist as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"Merry Christmas eve, sweetheart," he whispers in my ear. 

"Merry Christmas eve, baby," I whisper quietly and lay my head on his chest, I can hear his steady heartbeat. I feel him kiss the top of my head. 

"We should go downstairs," Dallas whispers after a few minutes and I shake my head, "Just a little longer," I mumble and I feel him run his hand up and down my back, "Are you okay," he asks softly and I nod, "Yeah I'm fine, just thinking," I reply.

"Thinking about what," He asks softly and continues to hold me in his arm making me safe and protected, "My dad," I say honestly, "Do you want to talk about him," he asks and I shake my head, "Not right now," I say and he nods.

"Okay sweetheart, whatever you want," he says quietly and kisses the top of my head once more.
