Chapter 36-Evening

A/N

Guys I'm really sorry that I'm not updating much anymore. I'm finding Year 11 difficult! Often when I come home from school all I want to do is chill, and when I want to sit down and write I get stuck. Happily I'm on a good streak today! Hopefully there will be more soon!

Oh and thank you for 3,000+ views on this fic! It means the world to me!

Reviews welcome,

It's been very productive day. I have bought Christmas presents for almost everyone, and I have chosen my wedding dress! It's not too fancy and not too plain, I saw it in a bridal shop the girls and I visited today and I just had to try it on. A couple of adjustments have to be made , but overall it's perfect. Paula and Emily have chosen their bridesmaid dresses but the others have yet to choose.

'I am so glad to be home.' I comment, flopping onto the sofa. "Oi! Aren't you going to help me unpack?" Gerry looks put out. 'No. I don't want to unpack anything that I shouldn't!' I know for a fact that he's bought me something, when we were out he kept talking to Paula so I know that something is up!

"Don't assume that you've got anything at all for Christmas at all!" gerry teases, getting a sleeping Jess from her buggy. 'Meanie' I say as I take Jessica from him.

'I'll put this one to bed now.' I make my way upstairs.

'Gerry, I'm going to get ready for bed. Could you bring some of that soup that you made the other day up please?' I ask.

"Okay." Gerry calls back.

I get changed for bed, and read for a while.

"Knock knock." Gerry comes in with a cup of soup. 'Thank you.' I smile, as he hands me the cup.

Gerry makes himself comfortable beside me. "Did you have a nice day?" he asks. 'Yeah.' I lean back against the headboard of the bed and sigh. 'Very tiring, though. I'm glad to be home' I continue.

Gerry gives me a kiss. "It was worth it, though." He smiles. 'Yeah, I'm so happy that everything for our wedding is coming together. What about the church, though? It might be booked up, it's quite a popular place to get married...' I muse, sipping my soup "Don't you worry about that, Sandra. It'll be okay." Gerry reassures me. '

'I'm just glad that my dress is sorted. It really is lovely.' I can't help but grin. "Can you at least give me some clues? Pleassee?" Gerry begs. I set my cup down and turn to him. 'No,' I smile cheekily. 'You are not are not allowed any clues. It's bad luck for you to see my dress until our wedding day, the 20th of July 2015.' I tease.

"But that's months away! Please Sandra!" he asks. 'No. As I've said, it's bad luck and we've had our fair share of that.' I answer.

"I suppose. I'll have to beg Cait for details. I guess that I could always ask Jessica, but she can't talk yet." Gerry says. 'Actually, she didn't see it. She was crying her eyes out at the time, before Paula saved the day by giving her a cuddle!' I reply.

"Ah okay." Hr answers. I can see that he's deep in thought. 'What's up?' I take his hand. "Nothing. I need to text Jayne in a minute, she said that she's sort something out for me but I don't think that she has... it's important, see..." he muses.

'Is it something for me?' I ask, perking up. "It might be." Gerry answers irritatingly. 'I dislike the few days just before Christmas! I hate waiting!' I huff.

"Well, it's only a couple of days away now. I hope that you've bought something for me!" Gerry looks hopeful. 'Of course! You'll just have to wait and see' two can play this game!

"What is it?" he asks. My plan has worked. 'Well if you tell me what I have then I'll tell you yours.' I reply.

He realises that he's been tricked. "No! You cheeky person!" he answers. I grin. 'I'll have to think of another joke to play on you... or maybe when your girls, exes, etc come over on Christmas day I'll get them to help me!' I giggle.
