Boyfriend for Christmas

Chapter 35....

"I have a surprise for all of you!" My mom announced as she walked into the living room. All of us were sitting around warming up from being out in the cold all afternoon. We had just gotten back from the festival and were waiting for dinner to finish in the kitchen.

"Surprise us with what?" I questioned.

"You're about to find out." She went over to the tree and started pulling out wrapped presents and handing them out to everyone. At the sight of them I knew what she was doing. Once everyone had one, including Olivia and Knox who looked really confused, did she clap her hands.

"Okay open."

All at once everyone ripped into their present, wrapping paper flying. Once I had mine open I looked inside and shook my head. Beside me Knox pulled his out just as I did. Holding it out in front of me I saw the ugliest sweater. It was black, green, and red with snowflakes and little christmas trees all over it. Putting it down I pulled out the red and black plaid PJ bottoms.

I looked over at Knox and Olivia. Olivia was grinning widely and I could see her eyes were a little glassy. Knox just stared at his like he was unsure what it was for. Mom must have seen their faces for she explained.

"It's a Lynn Christmas eve tradition where everyone gets new PJ bottoms and an ugly shirt or sweater. We wear it all night and tomorrow when we open presents. Just because you two aren't Lynn's doesn't mean you are exempt from it."

I was thoroughly impressed Mom managed to find two other sets in a short amount of time. Every year she manages to find even uglier sweaters for us.

"So everyone go put them on then we'll have dinner."

Olivia was the first to get up, gushing about the PJ's and being included. Next Annie and Lucas took the girls to my moms room to get dressed. Knox and I made our way upstairs, leaving Jackson in the living room.

"You guys do this every year?" Knox questioned as we got to my room.

"Yeah. We started the ugly sweater/shirts only five years ago though." I glanced over to him and saw the look on his face. "Don't even try and get out of it. Won't work, trust me."

"I wasn't going to."

"Uh huh." I shot him a look before going to the bathroom to change. It only took a moment for me to slip into the outfit and when I caught the sight of me in the mirror I shook my head. Mom really out did herself this time around. The sweaters were really ugly yet...cute.

By time I came out of the bathroom Knox was already changed. A smile formed on my lips at the sight of him. The sweater was a bit snug on him so it hugged his upper body like a glove. The sleeves were pushed up showing off his tattoos. He was turned to the side and my eyes dropped to his pants. They fit perfectly and from where I was standing they hugged his butt very well.

I quickly adverted my gaze when he turned around to face me.

"I think your mom got my size wrong." From the front view it was even funnier. It was almost too tight he couldn't move his arms. Mom definitely underestimated how big Knox was. When Knox lifted his arms up a little and the bottom of the sweater came up I lost it. I started laughing so hard I had to bend over.

I laughed for a solid minute before looking back up and finding him glaring at me, his arms crossed and a strip of skin showed above his pants. Just a single glance had me in another fit of laughter. Finally one thing to make him look just as dorky as the rest of us.

"Are you done now?" He asked. Trying to fight back my laughter I nodded.

"Y-yeah I'm good." Knox looked at me with an unimpressed look on his face.
