"Merry Christmas, Mia," said Chase, handing her a small, carefully wrapped box with a pink ribbon around it.

"Awww, Chase, you didn't have to get me a present! But I'm gonna have to keep it because it has a bow on it and I love bows!" Mia paused. "…But I don't wanna open it because it'll ruin it!" Chase couldn't help but smile at her excitableness.

"No, it won't, you can just untie the bow, and I'll tie it back up after if it'll make you happy,"

"Okay then," Mia smiled. She carefully untied the ribbon and lifted the lid of the small box. Inside was a delicate glass snow globe, with a snow-covered Manhattan skyline inside.

"Wow," Mia breathed. "It's beautiful, how- where did you get it?"

"I bought it from a store," said Chase. Mia pouted but knew she was not going to get anymore information from him, so she turned her attention to the gift. She had always had a fascination with snow globes; she used to collect them, but had stopped years ago. This one, however, was incredibly special, as it held inside it all of the wonder and amazement that Mia held from her relationship with Chase- complete with glitter and tiny snowflakes that fluttered to the bottom when she tipped it upside down.

"You are my Manhattan from the sky," she sang, softly, and looked up at Chase, who was watching her, his face lit up seeing the joy in her eyes. "Chase, I love it, it's wonderful. And I love you, so much,"

"I love you, too. Merry Christmas."

"I haven't given you your present yet," Mia said. She jumped down from the table she was sat atop of and retrieved Chase's gift.

"You have two presents from me, and here's the first," Mia gave the present to Chase and he carefully unwrapped the neat gold wrapping paper that Mia had chosen, Mia watching for his expression.

"This is awesome, Mia," he said, his smile growing wider. It was an old record, one that Chase had been looking for for a while and one that was quite sentimental to the both of them, since it was one of the first records that they both became obsessed with when they became a couple. He took it out of the cover and ran his finger along the edge of the black vinyl before spinning it gently in his hands.

"This is great, thank you; I've been looking for this everywhere,"

"I know. You're lucky I know people," She laughed. "No, I just bought it off one of the guys," Chase knew she meant one of her band members.

"Well, it's amazing. So thank you,"

"No problem. Hey, why don't we put it on? There are record players in here, don't forget,"

"Yeah, okay," said Chase. He walked over and switched it on, whilst Mia quietly slipped out and brought in two glasses.

"I made us some long-island iced tea, would you like some?" she asked, as the music came on."

"Definitely," Chase said. He walked over to his girlfriend and sat down next to her. Mia leaned closer to him.

"I almost forgot about your other present," Mia whispered, her breath tickling his neck.

"And what would that be?"

"This," she murmured against his lips, before kissing him.

"Mmm," he said as they pulled apart. "Best Christmas present ever. I love you, my beautiful Mia Catalano."

"Always with the perfect words," she whispered, leaning in to kiss him again.

"Always with the perfect lips," he replied, closing the gap between them.
