"BABY, ALL I WANT for Christmas is youuuu!", I woke up from my luscious sleep to three very out of tune, tone deaf voices, singing at the top of their lungs from downstairs, accompanied by the very graceful voice of Mariah Carey blasting through the speaker. I groaned in annoyance because I was being disturbed from my amazing dream filled with a certain brunette curly haired boy with beautiful ocean blue eyes. I sat up in Sebastian and I's bed very slowly, narrowing my eyes whilst I looked around the room, dazed from my sleepy state. A smile graced my slightly chapped lips as I recalled the events of last night.

Last night

Sebastian and I were laughing loudly as we ran up the stairs towards our bedroom, the snow melted into water on our clothes, making us shiver from the bitter cold weather. Stumbling into our room, trying to catch our breaths from laughing so much.

"Did you see the way he just fell when I threw the snowball at his face?" I asked Sebastian with giggles pouring out of my mouth.

"No, I didn't see it Lexi, because he fell on top of me!" Sebastian exclaimed while chuckling at me, throwing his hands up to be dramatic. At that, we both started laughing again.

To you, it might not be so funny that I threw a snowball towards Nicolas's face which resulted him in falling on top of Sebastian. But to us, it was the highlight of our day. The amount of energy that was surrounding us, positive energy, was a good feeling. An amazing feeling. Evie and I laughing our asses off as we lay on our backs making snow angels. Nicolas and I having a very brutal snowball fight. Sofia and I staring up to the sky as mini droplets of snow fall speedily down onto our faces. James and I arguing over who has created the best looking snowman. Sebastian and I kissing whenever chance we can with the snow pouring down on us.

The feeling of his arms wrapped around me, lifting me up off the ground and spinning me around, kissing me softly with a big grin on his face, guiding me back down to the ground safely so I don't fall. Well, too late for that huh?

We were both shivering as we finally stopped laughing as much, Sebastian running into the bathroom to switch on the shower. I perched myself on my knees on our neatly made bed, smiling at the sight of Sebastian running his fingers through his hair.

"Hey Lex, jump in the shower for me before you get hypothermia. That's not something I'd like to deal with because then I'd have to take you to the hospital and I really wanna go to bed," Sebastian told me with a small smirk playing on those beautiful lips of his. "Oh, how romantic of you Kingsley!" I told him with one hand to my chest and the other over my forehead, posing as a dramatic actress. I heard him chuckle as he walked back into the conjoined en suite room, muttering 'only for you'. I jumped up from my position on the bed and padded my way towards him, lifting myself up onto my tippy toes to place a chaste peck on his already puckered lips. We both smiled at each other before I walked into the bathroom alone, stripping off my snow covered clothes, and stepped into the steamed up shower. A giggle escaped my lips as I tilted my head back into the water and closed my eyes, thinking of how amazing my friends – my family – is. I can't wait for Christmas day tomorrow, and I can't wait to give Sebastian his present.

Back to present

"Can you guys shut the fuck up you're ruining my beauty sleep," I slightly yelled from the top of the staircase to see my three best friends jumping around in Santa hats and tinsel around their necks.

"Baby!", Sebastian shouted to me as he heard my voice, a big grin on his lips. He ran up the stairs towards me, barrelling into me, wrapping his arms around my waist, and spinning me around. I giggled at his surprising actions, maybe it's just the holiday spirit.

"I'm not your baby Sebastian," I told him with a smirk when he finally put me down. He looked down at me with a very overdramatic pout. "Even if you don't think so, you are my baby," he smirked at me with eyes twinkling in humour. I shook my head at him in response, trying my best to fight back a smile from his words. We both began walking down the stairs so I could see the rest of my friends, who were now singing along to another Christmas classic, 'Last Christmas' by Wham!.

"Alex! Finally, you're here you lazy bitch," Evie smirked at me with a giggle as she strutted up to me in her Christmas onesie, Nicolas wearing a matching one. I don't think he's wearing that voluntarily. "Fuck off! I needed my beauty sleep after all the physical activity last night," I slapped her arm playfully. She wiggled her eyebrows at me and Sebastian, which at first, I got confused over, but realisation quickly flooded my brain, and a deep blush coated my cheeks. I scowled at her actions and slapped her arm repeatedly. Nicolas and Sebastian howling in laughter behind us only increased the blush on my cheeks. "Not that kind of physical activity you horny bitch! I meant, all of us playing in the snow last night and it took a lot of energy out of me," I scolded all of my friends as I folded my arms across my chest, surpassing the feeling to laugh at the situation. "That's not the only thing that will take the energy out of you," Sebastian whispered hoarsely in my ear, making shivers run down my spine. The good kind of shivers. I elbowed him harshly in the ribs, hearing him grunt from the surprising impact. I began to strut my way over to the living room where the fire was already burning. "Come on, let's go open some presents," I told them all with a smile displayed on my lips, all of them looking at me in shock.

•••

Evie jumped up and down next to Nicolas in excitement as she looked down at her present.

"The new iPhone 12?!? In blue?!? I love you so freaking much Nicolas De Loughrey!", Evie nearly screamed as she leaped onto Nicolas on the couch next to Sebastian and I's, Nicolas laughing at her reaction whilst wrapping his arms around her. I smiled at their love for each other, my heart fluttering because of my happiness towards my two best friends.

For Evie, I gave her new Chanel perfume, a Louis Vuitton bag, and originally designed Prada headband, and a photo frame of her favourite photo of us. It was a picture of us both in Central Park last Christmas day. We had so much snow that winter. Vehicles couldn't go anywhere, hell, humans and animals could barley walk outside of their homes! Evie was kissing my cheek as I scrunched my face up and laughed in surprise. Evie was wearing a very furry coat, with matching grey gloves and hat. Her blonde hair tumbling out of the hat in loose curls, her hand clutching a latte. I on the other hand, had a brown winter coat, with a burgundy bobble hat and gloves. My dark brown hair was pin straight just past my breasts, my hand clutching a very surprising hot chocolate with whipped cream and mini marshmallows. It was a good day. The four of us went ice skating and shopping that day. Nicolas had taken our photo as Sebastian was flirting with his next victim.

For Nicolas, I got him a new pair of Ray bans ready for the summer holidays, an original custom made pair of Nike Air Force 1's, and a new Cartier watch. Nicolas loves his brands. I didn't want to get him anything personal since that's usually Evie's job. Although, he has been complaining for a while that his previous watch was broken and he was too lazy to get it fixed, but I think he was just hinting to one of us to get him a new one.

As for my presents that I received, Evie got me a Tiffany & Co. necklace with 'A+E' engraved initials. She also got me the exact same Chanel perfume that I bought her, great minds think alike. The last present she got me, and by far my favourite, originally designed Christian Louboutin red high heels. Nicolas gifted me a new Apple Mac Book Air in Rose Gold with matching rose gold AirPods he designed. I was incredibly grateful for all of my gifts, not at all expecting them to get me so many expensive things. I mean sure, maybe I was expecting a Chanel perfume, but who doesn't?

All of us were very aware of Sebastian's situation, and therefore weren't expecting gifts that were overly expensive. We were all worried about his situation. I mean, 2 million dollars is a lot of money, and that's coming from a rich bitch. He explained to us how he got in this situation. According to Sebastian, not all of the drugs that Damien gifted, were for him. Nicolas actually confessed that he took a pill, he didn't specify which one, but he did. Evie wasn't happy with him which is understandable. Sebastian apologised profusely to Nicolas, saying that he was a shit friend and he never should have peer pressured him into doing anything he didn't want to do. Sebastian told the three of us about some other people who wanted hardcore drugs but didn't know who to go to, and they began claiming that they saw Sebastian popping some pills at a party and they wanted to know where he got them from. These people were, Vanessa Edwards, Jackson Collins – what a surprise - , Liam Francis – total ass - , Ophelia Porter – a genuine surprise - , and so many others he forgot the names of. I do feel bad for what Sebastian went through, with his parents, but there are so many other ways to deal with his pent up anger and frustration. He told us that Damien seemed like a nice guy at first, not making you pay instantly, giving "helpful" advice and acting as if he were a friend. It's unfair that Sebastian is the one that has to pay all of this money back, when he wasn't the one who took all of the drugs.

Damien and his goons are con men. They ruin the lives of people just for fun. Sebastian is now in dept because him. Damien took Sebastian, a naïve young boy going through his own personal struggles, and pretended to be his friends, his companion, his family. Sebastian grew dependant on Damien whenever he became stressed or ridden with anxiety or needed to blow off some steam. Which is one of the many reasons why he decided to begin underground fighting. He gets paid quite a lot of money if he wins a fight, and even though I'm terrified of him getting hurt, he's fucking amazing at it. Football used to help him overcome his anger, but you can only play so many games and take so many hits before you get bored. He wanted to try something new, underground fighting. It's a dumb idea if I do say so myself, but when Sebastian sets his mind to something, god knows he'll get it done. I have no idea how much money he has left to get in order to pay his dept, but however much it is, I'll help him pay the rest of it, and I don't give a flying fuck if he doesn't want my help, because I will personally see Damien myself and hand him the money.

•••

Sebastian and I decided to give each other's gifts privately since they're more sentimental, and that brings us to now. We're both sitting on our bed, me taking out his gift. I shyly handed it over to him, unsure of how he'll feel about it since I spent a lot less money on him, and it's pretty obvious too.

He opened the small box that's wrapped in red wrapping paper with a gold satin ribbon. A look of shock appeared on his chiselled face as he took out his gift. After a lot of consideration, I decided on getting him something small and simple, yet meaningful. It was a silver chain necklace, with a matte black guitar pick as the pendant. Written on the pick was the initials 'A+S' with a small golden heart around it.

"When you want to play the guitar, you can take the pick off of the chain by unclipping it here," I tell him in a small voice I show him where he needs to unclip it. "And then, you play," I say to him as I look into his eyes with a small smile on my lips. He smiles back at me, leaning in to press a delicate kiss onto my cheek. My smile grows and my cheeks redden in response. Only Sebastian could make me blush profusely just by kissing my cheek.

"Do you like it? I know that it's a really small gift and it wasn't expensive at all, but I just thought that it would be meaningful, but if you don't like it, I can totally take it back and get you a cartier watch or something," I nervously laughed. He caught me off guard when he leaned in and took me in his arms and hugged me tightly. I slowly wrapped my arms around his, unsure of what was happening.

"My baby, this is the best, and most sentimental gift I have ever received. Thank you so much, I love it," he smiled at me with a big grin. "I am definitely bringing my guitar back to New York now, and whenever I play it, I'll think of you," he told me as he pressed our foreheads together. I giggled at his actions, rolling my eyes at his playfulness. "I'm still not your baby Sebastian," I told him as I moved away from his embrace. He cocked an eyebrow in response, looking amused at my answer. Suddenly, he lifted his hand to his mouth and whistled loudly through his fingers. In the distance, I could hear the small sounds of pitter patter on the hardwood floors. I looked to Sebastian in question, but he just smiled mischievously at me. A small crashing sound was heard by the door with a small animal like whine. Sebastian let out a low chuckle escape his lips as he patted the floor with his big hands. All of a sudden, a black Labrador puppy came barrelling into our bedroom with its tongue hanging out.

"He's your dog, Lexi. Merry Christmas," Sebastian told me as the small puppy tried to jump on the bed, unfortunately sprawling back onto the floor with a frustrated whine. I giggled in response to his clumsiness, picking him up and setting him on my lap. He began licking my face as his tiny tail wagged quickly. I giggled once again at his antics, Sebastian laughing along with me as he stroked the puppy. "Sebastian what the fuck, are you serious?" I asked him incredulously, tears already springing to my eyes as he nodded his head yes. I began crying because this has been my dream since I had Mozzarella taken away from me. I looked down at my puppy, seeing a red satin ribbon loosely attached to his neck like a collar. Along with that ribbon, was a small scroll rolled up into the ribbon. I took out the scroll looking at Sebastian with a questioning look on my face. I opened the small scroll, not knowing what to expect.

'Dear Miss Alexandra Black,

Will you do the me the honour of becoming my girlfriend?

Sincerely yours (hopefully),

Sebastian Kingsley'

I shot my head up towards Sebastian in pure shock, more tears of happiness running down my face. He looked at me with a nervous grin, my puppy looking between us expectantly as if he knew what was going on. "So, will you?" he asked me with a slightly shaky voice. I nodded my head quickly before I crashed my lips on his. He immediately kissed me back passionately, both of us smiling into the kiss. I felt my puppy jump off my lap and onto the floor, sniffing around the unfamiliar room. Sebastian and I were still making out, still smiling. He pulled away when we were both short of breath, resting our heads against each other. He leaned in and kissed my lips quickly once again, pulling away and kissing my forehead.

"Now can I call you my baby?" he laughed quietly with me. I pretended to think about it for a moment, tilting my head to the side, squinting my eyes, and puckering my lips. He narrowed his eyes at me playfully, squeezing my cheeks to make my lips pucker. "You," kiss, "are," kiss, "my," kiss, "baby," he told me playfully as he kissed my lips between each word. I hummed in consideration, teasing him further. "Maybe," I told him with a cocked brow, as he shakes his head in amusement. "Good," as he was leaning in to kiss me once again, my little puppy boy managed to jump up onto the bed all by himself, landing between Sebastian and I. He let out a tiny bark to both of us, his tongue hanging out as he licked us both. "So, what are you going to call him Lexi?" Sebastian asked me with a small laugh. I contemplated some names for him, thinking about how clumsy he was when he came stumbling into our room. With a final name decided, I told Sebastian.

"Dumbo," I grinned at my adorable new puppy before looking up at Sebastian. He looked slightly confused yet amused at my choice of name for my little baby.

"Dumbo?" he asked me to confirm. I nodded in response before laughing slightly. He shook his head laughing at me, picking up Dumbo to look at his face. He nodded in response as Dumbo began smiling like the cutie he is. Sebastian turned his head to mine, capturing my lips with his. Sighing in content at our current situation. He sighed happily as we pulled away from each other, laughing to himself in disbelief. "You're finally all mine," he grinned at me with twinkling eyes. "I'm all yours, baby," I nodded at him in response. "And I'm all yours," he told me with a genuine smile, taking my hand in his and lacing them together. I rested my head on his shoulder, his head resting on my head kissing my forehead. Dumbo was fast asleep in both of our laps.

Best Christmas Ever.

Merry Christmas my lovelies!! I hope you've all had an amazing yet safe Christmas if you celebrate it, if not just remember to stay safe at these uncertain times.
