Chapter 21
"Just six more days until Christmas," Bonnie said to the others as they waited while Klaus, Elijah and Elena, "I see my stuff is the only gifts under the tree right now. Does anyone else have their stuff wrapped yet?"
Caroline laughed.
"I'm having mom bring them here in boxes so I can wrap them up and I bet that Elena's is still in Klaus' car." Caroline said laughing.
"I still need to do some more." Rebekah admitted.
"No!" At the shocked expression on his sister's face, he reworded what he said. "I mean, I bought all of it but I still need to wrap it all up."
"Well if you'd like I'll help you with everyone's gift but mine," Rebekah offered again. "Or you can get Bonnie to help with everyone's but hers."
"I still need to get Bonnie's but I can sure use her help with the wrapping." He said smiling at his sister. Turning to Bonnie, he smiled at her. "That is, if you're willing to help a poor bloke like myself with the task of wrapping up gifts."
"I'd be delighted to help." She said, giving him a smile and he led her upstairs to his room where he had the gifts.
"I love Christmas – wrapping presents, parties, snow, finding the perfect gift, singing in church everything! I love the whole season," Bonnie enthused as she began picking out paper. She carefully placed the first box and cut the paper before carefully folding and taping each side into place. When she had finished she crisscrossed the ribbon on the back and then chose a fancy bow to finish off the top. In little of no time she was halfway through the gifts and obviously enjoying herself as she got him to help her choose paper, ribbons and bows for each one.
"I need the gift tags so that I can say who has which gift!" He said, stopping her from wrapping up anymore. Looking around, he found the tags-in the most hilarious way!
He had been sitting on them in the first place.
"We mention this to no one." He said, playfully but seriously. God knows what his siblings would do if they found out that he was sitting on the gift tags!
Bonnie giggled, "and just how exactly are you going to ensure my silence?"
"Begging, pleading, kissing...take your pick." He said as he looked at her.
"Kissing," Bonnie grinned and blushed.
"Don't tell and you'll get numerous kisses." He said. "If you do tell, no kisses."
"Well that's an easy decision," Bonnie flirted. "Do you want to maybe go sledding when we finish this? There's that big hill at the back of your property – we could invite the others to come too…"
"Sounds like fun but my brothers and Elena are cooking lunch so it'd have to be after that." He said, grinning at her.
