It's Christmas day, in Toronto. -20 degrees, and as usual, snowing its ass off. It's eight o'clock in the morning, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee, as I watch the snowfall. I look at the Christmas tree, and watch the lights go from red to green. I love the holidays. Kira's still sleeping on the couch. Last night, we stayed up, until midnight, watching Christmas movies, and we built a blanket fort. It was so childish, but she loved it. I didn't really sleep last night, I normally never sleep. Which is sort of a bad thing. Anyway, we have twenty six days until our wedding. Oh, shit. Speaking of wedding, I still need to call sonny.
I whipped out my phone, and dialed sonny's number. Moments later, he answers.
"Hello?" He said in a groggy voice.
"Hey dude.. merry Christmas, by the way."
"Christmas, shishmas. I need sleep." He said sarcastically.
"I know. I just needed to ask you something." I said.
"Okay dude. What do you need?" Sonny asked.
"You know Kira and I's wedding is coming up soon.. And I need a best man.. would you be my best man? We've been through alot of shit together, and I thought my best friend should have that honour."
There was a brief silence, then he said "Of course, dude. I'd love to be your best man. Us guys are going to fly down to Toronto for your guy's wedding. We're leaving around the tenth of January. Is that okay?" He asked.
"Yeah dude. But Kira's dad and sister will be here too. I mean, I have plenty of rooms for everyone, but that's going to be a full house."
"I understand completely, Joel. We can all share rooms. Of course, her dad and sister can have their own rooms, but sharing isn't a problem for us."
"Can't wait to see you guys. It's going to be a blast. Merry Christmas, Sonny. Tell everyone Kira and I said Hi!"
"Merry Christmas, Joel. Have a good one." Sonny said, and hung up.
I heard Kira yawn, and I looked over to her. "Merry Christmas, darling." I said, giving her a dashing smile.
She got up, and walked over to me, and hugged me. "Merry Christmas to you too, dear." She said.
I kissed her, and held her hand, leading her to the Christmas tree.
I sat down next to the tree and said "It's time for presents!"
She laughed, and sat next to me. I bought her 10 presents, and I have no idea what she got me. She opened her first present. A simple brown sweater, with ripped up jeans, and a cross necklace. Her next one was three pairs of leggings. Pink Floyd leggings, galaxy leggings, and polka dot leggings. Seven presents later, and she's got a big stack of clothing. Her last present was something special. I handed her the small, rectangular box wrapped in paper. She unwrapped it slowly and screamed. It was an iPhone 5s.
"Awww Joel! I needed a new phone! Thank you!" She said, and hugged me.
I laughed, and said "You're more than welcome, dear."
"Okay now for your presents!" She said happily.
She handed me four boxes, one which was really heavy. I opened the first one, and smiled. Minecraft t-shirts. The next box was two cat shirts, and three pairs of jeans. One of the shirts said "Meow we're talking" and the other said "I'm so fucking high right meow!" I got three belts with three belt buckles. One buckle was an Eric cartmen one, a Pac man one, and a deadmau5 head buckle. I also got two pairs of converse, and four snapbacks. Now it was time for the heavy present. I lifted it up, and tore it open.
A Mac book pro! "Awww babe, you shouldn't have! I can use this one for my photography! Thanks hun!" I said, squeezing her tight.
"It was my pleasure!" She said, with a big smile on her face.
I laughed, and got up. She gave her dogs big bones, and they went at them. Miss Nyan Cat has been in a depression ever since meowingtons left us. She won't eat, and she barley sleeps. The vet says it won't last long, but I'm not so sure. Meowingtons died the eighteenth, and its the twenty-fifth. I don't think she'll ever get over this. The rest of the day, we played minecraft, and ate Christmas cookies. It was really fun. It was late at night, and we were laying in bed. She was asleep, but I was up, watching T.V.. the dogs were asleep on the floor, and Miss Nyan Cat was cuddling Kira. It was a quiet night, in the Zimmerman household. A night that wasn't a stranger to me. I had lots of Lonely quiet nights in this house. I watched the snow softly fall down from the sky. It's been snowing for about 4 hours straight. I sighed, and rolled over, trying to sleep. Lots of things are running through my mind. Our wedding, my American tour, meowingtons.. I'm just so nervous about the future, and what it holds. I got out of bed, and went to the kitchen. Maybe a few Tylenol P.M.s will put me to sleep. I took two of the pills, and headed back upstairs. Kira was peacefully sleeping. It made my heart warm inside, seeing her sleep like an Angel. I rolled back in bed, and rested my head on the pillow. In a matter of moment, I was feeling drowsy. I closed my eyes, and drifted away into a deep, calming sleep.
