"Ugh come on guys we've been looking for hours" I whined as I rested my head on Brandon's shoulder.
"Yeah moms we've looked at every tree in this place!" Mariana piped as she linked arms with me.
Brandon and I looked towards Jude to see that he was amazed by everything. After all this was the first time he'd had a Christmas.
"So, are you enjoying Christmas so far?" Brandon grinned as he kissed my temple sweetly.
"Of course, it's nice to be with happy people around this time of year." I mumbled. "I haven't had a Christmas since I was seven." I glumly stated.
"Really?" Brandon questioned confused at how anyone could miss out on Christmas. "Well then get ready to have some fun!" he grinned as she dragged me away from the rest.
"Don't be gone too long!" Lena shouted as she noticed us depart.
"Here we are" Brandon informed me as I stood there taking in the little lodge where there was a restaurant watching over all the trees that surrounded us just moments ago.
"Wow… this place looks so cool!" I said amazed.
"I know right, I sneak off here every year. You haven't even seen the best of it yet!" Brandon said giddily as he pulled me to the back of the cabin. As we turned the corner there were a few people as sitting round a fire roasting marshmallows.
"This is probably the best Christmas tree farm I have ever seen." I said excitedly.
"I wanted to drag you back here earlier but I wanted you to spend time with Jude" he added thoughtfully as he pulled up a chair and pulled me into his lap.
"Well thank you for that! It means a lot to m. I have always wished for a Christmas again and more importantly I have always wished Jude would have one, while he was still young. I mean it's so sad isn't it? The kid has been alive for 10 years yet he's never had a Christmas."
"How come he's never had one but you have?" Brandon questioned me cautiously as he pulled me closer to him. "Well the year my mum found out she was pregnant, my dad was already gone. Jude was born in early September but the Christmas before my dad had left. In early December I was at school and when I got home. A police officer was in my house holding Jude. He… he sat me down and told me that my mum… she… she drove off the road. A-And they still don't know why. They did at first label it as a suicide attempt but then a witness conformed something did happen to make her run off the road, but they couldn't make out what it was. The part I hate the most was when I was told that Jude had been w-with her in the car. A-an-and he said that if he had been in the front or the other side of the car, he-he-" I choked as I began to tear up.
"You don't have to carry on if you don't want to" Brandon whispered as he pulled me close and rubbed soft, slow circles on my back.
"N-no I want to. Um… they said he would have died from the impact almost instantly because of how small he was." I cried as I threw my head into his chest in sobs.
"Shh…. Shh it's fine, you're with me" He consoled me as my tears drenched his shirt.
"You can't ever tell him that!" I shrieked.
"Don't worry I won't, nobody deserves to know anything like that. How come they even told you?" I whispered as I ran my hands down her back.
"I told them I could handle it, that they were my only family left and I deserved to know" I gently giggled not at the matter but how I have always been the same stubborn girl.
"That's my girl" Brandon said as he placed a soft, quick but loving kiss on my lips.
"It's fine, I don't mind. It happened, let's go find everyone else it getting late" she said brushing her jeans off whilst starting to walk away.
"We could but…" Brandon dragged off whilst smirking.
"But what?" I said returning the smirk only to be followed by Brandon dragging me into one of the toilet stalls behind the cabin. He lustfully brought his soft and tender lips down to mine as our lips moved in a fast synchronised motion. His hands wrapped around my thighs as I jumped up against him and he pressed me against the wall of the tightly enclosed stall. It was so small it didn't matter if we wanted to get close or not. Not that neither of use minded. My hands slowly made the way up his torso as he caressed my face. As soon as he felt my touch he felt he had to do the same and lifted the lower part of my shirt revealing my toned but bruised stomach. Brandon started to massage my hips whilst his lips went down my neck.
"Do you want them to get suspicious?" I questioned Brandon with my eye brows raised.
"No!" Brandon whined against my neck.
"Then stop!" I giggled as I gently lifted his head to mine.
"Don't deny it, you love it Callie" Brandon taunted in my ear huskily whispering my name.
"Nu uh" I mumbled against his lips.
"Yeh huh" he mocked against mine. Gently he placed a slow but loving kiss on my lips. Until his eyes wandered to my stomach and kissed every single purple bruise that lay there. I love you Callie" he declared whilst looking at me lovingly.
"Well isn't this a romantic place to do this." I joked as I smiled brightly at him as i gave him a lingering kiss on the lips. "I love you too" I whispered as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Let's go find the others" I whispered happily. "You go first then I will follow in a few minutes."
"Callie I will leave with you, I don't care what any other stranger thinks Callie, they just need to know I love you." He demanded as he took my hand smiling at the blush on my cheeks. When we left the bathroom we had a few curious and disapproving glances but nothing could break my mood. I was his!
"Yo dude!" Jesus hollered as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as we walked up to them.
"Shut up" he boomed as he punched Jesus' shoulder lightly.
"Um hey guys where is Jude? I asked worriedly.
"I thought he went with you" Stef said shrieked worried that she lost him in the huge place.
"No…" Brandon groaned whilst starting to search for Jude.
"Jude….. Jude… Jude" everyone began screaming at the top of their lungs as we all went to look our separate ways.
"Hey buddy" I whispered as I sat down next to Jude staring at the lights hung up around the cabin setting the Christmas cheer.
"I'm sacred" Jude whispered as he rested his head on my shoulder.
"What are you scared of?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug.
"That my first Christmas will be a bad Christmas." He mumbled as his eyes started to become teary.
"Jude do you feel loved in this family?" I questioned as I turned to look at the mesmerizing lights.
"Yes, it's the best family we have ever been in." Jude smiled.
"Well that's what Christmas is about, love" I lovingly said as I smiled down at him.
"Like what you feel for Brandon?" he innocently questioned as my face turned crimson red.
"Um… yes, like what I feel for Brandon" I smiled. "Let's head back, they are all so worried about you" I added.
"They are?" Jude responded shocked.
"Of course they are bud" I chuckled as I pulled him up and pulled him into my side as we made our way to find the others.
