10. Its Christmas

Aria

I woke up to my alarm going off. The day I get to open presents and stuff my face with turkey, pigs in blankets (sausages wrapped in bacon) and glitter berry J2O. I got up and ran into Christians room. I jumped on his bed making him bounce. "Aria it's 6 am, let me sleep," Christian groaned. "It's Christmas you Scrooge, get up," I shouted. "Seriously? You couldn't leave me to sleep for another hour or two?" He looked at me. Before I could answer, the door burst open revealing josh, James, jack and Patrick. "Merry Christmas you lazy bums," they all yelled. They had Santa hats on with bags in their hands. "Ok, I'm up, I'm up," Christian yawned then threw his feet over the edge of the bed. I grabbed his hand and ran down to the living room. "Not yet aria. Breakfast first," Christian stopped me and pulled me to the kitchen. He made scrambled eggs, bacon, toast with croissants. "Thanks," me, Josh, James, jack and Patrick all said in unison. "No problem," Christian smiled as he placed our plates in front of us.

After we ate, we all went into the living room. There was big presents and small ones laying around the bottom of the tree. "Dibs I'm handing them out," I called out and ran to sit on the floor. The boys all sat on the sofas around me. I gave them all their presents and waited for them to open them. "Thanks aria, I love it," Josh smiled and hugged me. I got josh a watch from Swarovski, with a silver band and black clock. I got James the same but gold band and white clock. I got jack a remote control car, since he is so childish, his face lit up when he saw it. I got Patrick a lord of the rings necklace with the ring on it. Finally, I got Christian a watch, shave kit and a guitar pick.

"I haven't heard you play in so long so I got you one to play again," I explained. "Thank you little wolf," Christian got up and hugged me. "No problem. It's more for me than anything," I laughed. "Of course," he chuckled. Once the boys were done with all their gifts, they pushed me to open all theirs. From josh I got make up. From Patrick I got a bunch of clothes. James got me hair straighteners and a curling wand. From jack, he got me a snack crate with different foods from around the world. "Wow, more food you pigs can steal from me," I giggled. "We have all agreed to not take anything from it since it's a gift," jack smiled widely. Lastly, from Christian I got a pandora ring with a paw print on it, wolf earrings and necklace, but my favourite had to have been the last one. "It's outside," Christian told me. I nodded and got up with the guys following me. Parked next to Christian's grey BMW, was a black Mini Cooper. "Did you seriously get me a car?" I turned to him. "Yeah, you start your lessons next week but can't leave the territory until after your 17th," he replied. "Thank you," I squealed and jumped on him. My arms wrapped around his neck as his went around my back. "No problem little wolf," Christian held me tighter. After a minute, he put me down and we all went back inside. Josh, James, Patrick and Christian were all trying to sort out their watches while jack was running over everyone's toes with his car. We all laughed and joked for a couple hours and put on Christmas songs.

After I put all my gifts in my room, I went back downstairs smelling Christmas dinner. "Dinner," Christian shouted. The boys ran past me, pushing me out of the way so they could get to the table. "You guys are fucking children," I muttered as I sat down next to Christian and Patrick. "What's your point?" Jack looked at me. "How does Mary put up with you?" I shook my head. "I give her-," jack started. "Not while were eating jack," Christian cut him off. "Dirty pig," I mumbled. We all ate our food in comfortable silence with Christmas songs in the back round. "What are we doing tonight?" James broke the silence. "You guys are going home after this, aria is going to do god knows what and I'm going to relax," Christian replied.

"Bye guys. Thanks for everything," I hugged them all as they left. "I'm not letting my future kids be around jack," I huffed out when the front door shut. "Me either, he's fucking crazy," Christian slumped on the sofa. "Let's what a movie," I stated and sat next to him. "Ok, but I'm picking," Christian took the remote from my hands. We both decided on muppets Christmas carol. Halfway through, I leaned against Christians side taking in his scent. It comforted me, when I'm sad, angry or stressed, his scent calmed me. Now I can see why his mate would love him. After a while, I fell asleep, from a day of jokes and a lot of food, it tires me out like every year. But I wouldn't change it for anything, these crazy people are my family, I don't know where I would be if they hadn't found me.
