Our Llama, Lion Love

Christmas Take 2

The pairs eventually went back to the apartment to finish Christmas. Phil and Rachel were sitting on the sofa together, Rachel's head on Phil's shoulder, hands intwined. Rachel smiled softly and squeezed Phil's hand. Sage skipped through the door sndbsat down next to the tree, humming Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer, and Dan following. He sat down next to her and the two smiled at each other. Raising her eyebrows at the two, Rachel stood up and clapped. "Present time!" She announced happily as Sage began clapping merrily and Dan next to her as well. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see Phil behind her, holding out a largish box covered with red paper. Rachel blushed and hugged him. "You didn't have to get me anything silly," She laughed but secrety exited to see what it was. Phil chuckled and whispered, "Hope you like it," He handed it to her. She blushed and thanked him again, before cardiomyopathy opening the parcel. Inside lay a light blue box with the words "Tiffany & Co." printed on the front in gold italics. Sage squealed and got up to look. "Oooh Tiffany's," She patted Phil on the shoulder. "Nice one," Phil laughed and looked over at Rachel. She smiled and carefully opened the box. Inside lay a shimmering necklace. The chain was silver and hanging down was a intricate key, with small emeralds set in the middle of the key. The key had flowers winding around it and the emeralds twinkled in the low light and illuminated Rachel's face. Rachel gasped and looked over at Phil. "Do you like it?" He smiled. "P-Phil," She stuttered. "Its beautiful," He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped closer. "M-May I?" He asked reaching for it. Rachel nodded, still in shock. She felt Phil brush her long hair out if the way, his fingers skimming over her shoulders and felt the cold silver chain around her neck. The pendant lay perfectly glowing in the center of her neck. "It's beautiful," She breathed. "Thank you." Phil quickly fastened it and turned her around. "Not as beautiful as you," He whispered and placed a kiss in her nose. She giggled and hugged him. "Lemme see," Dan and Sage pestered, poking Rachel. She turned around and Dan whistled. "So pretty," he commented. Sage laughed at his boyish statement and ruffled his hair. She sat up, "Fabulous," Sage gave her friends a thumbs up and sat down on Dan's lap. "Your turn," Dan whispered. Sage giggled and straightened up. "What is it, what is it," She pestered, jabbing him in the back. "Hold on," he muttered, bringing out a poorly wrapped squishy thing. Sage squealed all the same and ripped open the package. Inside lay pools of grey favrac and Sage slowly lifted it up out of the paper. "Ohmigawd!" She squealed holding up a Totoro onesie. "I love it!" She screame before darting to her room. She emerged moments later wearing it. Dan laughed and hugged her. "Thanks," She mumbled into his chest. "Welcome," he smiled. "MY TURRNNN," She cried, bringing it three parcels wrapped in birthday wrapping. She saw her friends expressions and sighed. "We ran out of Christmas wrapping, OKAY," She sighed blowing a stray hair out of her face. They chuckled and Sage passed out all of the presents. The big squishy one for Phil, small one for Dan and the even smaller one for Rachel. Phil opened his first and squealed, holding up a giant stuffed lion. "I call him... Mr. Christmas!" He announced thanking Sage and cuddling the stuffed toy. Rachel giggled at his childish behaviour and opened hers. "OMG!" She cried, holding out a bracelet in the shape of an arrow, engraved on the end of the arrow was a small, looping infinity sign. She quickly slipped it on and hugged Sage. "Thanks bby, I love it" She giggled examining the bracelet. Dan opened his last, a silver dog tag necklace with the words "Sage Is My Queen" imprinted on. He burst out laughing and embraced Sage. "Thanks Sagey," he whispered. She smiled and hugged him tighter before both of them plopping down on the sofa. Dan slid his arm around her bandage scooched closer, leaning her head on his shoulder. They then passed out the rest of the presents, consisting of;
