I woke up before Aysia this morning. I probably exhausted her last night which made me think that I maybe went too rough. I would have to remember to bring it up with her later when she wakes up.
Since she did so good for me last night, I wanted her to wake up to something. I slowly moved from off of the bed and called room service. I know that she favored French toast over any other breakfast food and she loved fruit so that is what I ordered. I ordered a strawberry waffle for myself that I would probably end up sharing with her but I didn't really mind. As long as she shared with me as well.
After ordering our breakfast, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.
As I waited for room service to come, I thought about what I wanted to do for our last day of being in Manhattan. I wanted to take Alaysia to the Rockefeller Center so that we could see the tree and then I would maybe send her off to be with Imani and Vanessa so I could get some last minute Christmas gifts for her.
I wanted it to be a memorable Christmas for her seeing as it was our first Christmas together. I had already ordered her a couple of gifts and they were sitting in my guest room back at home. She never goes in there so I thought it was a good place to hide them. I didn't know what she usually did for Christmas though because we surprisingly haven't talked about the topic all that much. I didn't know if she was going to spend it with her family or maybe she had a tradition with Imani. Maybe she didn't even like Christmas. Another thing I would have to talk to her about.
I used Alaysia's phone to message Imani about taking her and keeping her entertained while I went gift shopping because I didn't have a way to contact Imani on my phone. I made sure to delete the messages so that she wouldn't see them.
Room service eventually arrived and it's like the moment the food got here, Alaysia was awake. I chuckled to myself.
"Good morning, pretty girl." I said softly as I came up to her and placed a kiss on her head. "How are you feeling?"
She groaned and stretched before sitting up in the bed. She sat there for a minute just staring off to space. Then she stared at me for a little with this look on her face that I couldn't decipher. It was like annoyance and love. I was thinking that I maybe did something to annoy her because she hadn't spoke to me since waking up.
"I got you some French toast and fruit." Her face instantly lit up.
"Thank you." She croaked out. Her voice was shot as hell. She cleared her throat and the chuckled softly. "Look what you did to me."
"Oh, mami. Im sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." It hurt me to know that I did that to her. I went and sat next to her in the bed, bringing the food with me. I grabbed the glass of water and brought it up to her mouth, hoping it would help sooth her throat.
"I was joking." She laughed. "I enjoyed last night but the consequences are not my favorite. My throat is killing me." She said and cleared her throat multiple times throughout her sentences.
I felt so bad. I grabbed a piece of fruit with a fork and brought it up to her mouth so that she could start eating.
"Well I'm glad that you enjoyed last night because I was worried that I had went too rough and I hadn't even spoke to you about what you like to do in the bedroom." I said with worry in my voice.
"Stop worrying, baby. I'm fine." She said and placed a soft kiss to my lips with a smile on her face. Then she went back to eating her fruit.
I started eating with my waffle and as I assumed she wanted some. I gave her some and took some of her French toast.
"So, what are your plans for Christmas? I was hoping we could spend it together if you didn't have any premeditated plans?"
"Well actually, I don't do Christmas. I hate it." She said as she took a bite of her fruit.
Well there goes my plans. "Oh." I couldn't hide the frown on my face because I had always wanted to spend Christmas with my significant other and open up gifts that we had got for each other, then watch Christmas movies on the couch all day.
All of a sudden, she starts laughing. "Im just joking, bubba. I love Christmas. Gosh you look so sad." She said and peppered kisses on my face. "Im sorry."
"Well I had plans for us so imagine how I feel when my girlfriend tells me she hates my favorite holiday that I have been excited to celebrate with her." I said.
"What plans?"
"Guess you'll have to wait and find out. But you don't have any plans with your family or anything?"
"No, not really. They live all the way out in California so we usually just FaceTime if I am not able to fly over there." She said as she finished off her food and then drank the rest of her water.
"Great!" I said a little too excited and then calmed down. "I mean not great that you can't see your family but great that I can go ahead with my plans. Anyways, I was thinking that we could go see the tree in the Rockefeller Center today and do any last minute things before we leave tomorrow morning."
We talked a little more about what we wanted to do today and then started getting ready to go out. We were going to meet Vanessa and Imani in the lobby at 12.
I brought up the idea of us going ice skating in the Rockefeller Center because I thought it would be romantic even though I'm pretty sure we both didn't know how to but who am I to assume?
They all seemed to agree with the idea and then we were on our way. We went skating for about 2 hours and I was terrible but Alaysia was surprisingly good at it. She looked cute as she glided along the ice without a care in the world. I wonder what else she's good at.
I eventually parted from the rest of the group so that I could do my shopping. I wanted to stop by Louis Vuitton and get her a bag that she had talked about before and some shoes and then couple of other things I wanted to get for her from other places.

I stopped by the hotel and hid the bags before going back out to eat them for dinner. We had dinner at a pretty nice place and sat there and talked for a while.
I am so glad that Alaysia wanted to come here because I had a lot of fun.
We got back to our hotel room at around 11 and Alaysia and I took a relaxing bath together in the gigantic bathtub. After that, we packed up our stuff and laid in the bed together, watching a movie. We didn't really watch it, we talked and cuddled while it was playing.
