PIPER'S POV:
"Hey." Paige greeted me as I made my way into the house "where've you been?"
"To see Tyler." I informed her "I wanted to talk to him about our Christmas plans."
"Did you get organised?" she questioned
I nodded my head… "We're off to Mum and Paul's, and you, Mark, Aaron and Zoe are welcome too if you want."
"Really?" she asked
I nodded my head… "Paul's cooking and has bought too much food."
"Well obviously we'll have to stop in at Mum and Dad's," she informed me "and I'll have to check with Mum that she hadn't made any plans for us to join them but we'd love to."
I smiled at her warmly… "Great. Just let me know and I'll let Mum know."
She nodded her head… "I'll go and talk to my Mum now."
TYLER'S POV:
"Hey." Mark's voice sounded as he made his way into the garage
"Hey." I greeted him "Have you spoken to Paige?"
He shook his head… "Should I have?"
"Terese and Paul have invited us all over for Christmas dinner," I informed him "and when I say all of us I mean all – you, me, Paige, Aaron, Zoe, Pipes and Eden."
"That's generous." he replied
I nodded my head… "Pipes said Paul has bought too much food. We're going and it'd be great if you guys could join us."
"I'll see if I can track down Paige and see what she thinks." he informed me "I'll let you know when you're home."
Nodding my head, I placed my hand on his shoulder… "See you later."
PIPER'S POV:
"Did you track Lauren down?" I asked Paige as she made her way back into the house
She nodded her head… "Me and Mark are going over in the morning and we'll join you guys in the afternoon at your Mum and Paul's."
I smiled at her warmly and hugged her tightly… "This is gonna be an amazing Christmas."
She was about to reply when Mark made his way into the house, shutting the door behind him…
"Hey," Paige greeted him "how was your day?"
"Good." he replied as he kissed her softly "So what's this I hear about Christmas at Terese and Paul's?"
"Mum invited us all over." I informed him
"And I've just been to Mum and Dad's," Paige admitted "and if it's okay with you we're going to go over in the morning and then spend the rest of the day at Terese and Paul's."
"Please say you're on board with the idea, Mark," I begged "I know you and Paul don't have the best history but it's Christmas. Can we not just put all the animosity aside for one day?"
"Pipes is right." Paige replied "What do you say?"
"Okay, I'm in." he informed us
Paige smiled at him warmly and threw her arms around his neck, me moving over to hug him as they pulled apart…
"I'll make sure Mum keeps Paul in check." I informed him as we pulled apart
"I can handle Paul Robinson." he assured me
TYLER'S POV:
I made my way down the hallway and into mine and Piper's bedroom, finding her sat on the floor with Eden, the two of them doing a jigsaw, her head turning to me as I opened the door…
"Hey." she greeted me
"Hey." I mirrored "Having fun?"
"Yes and no," she replied "my back is killing me!"
I smiled at her sympathetically and held my hands out to her, helping her to her feet and kissed her softly… "Mark tells me everyone's in for Christmas at your Mum and Paul's."
She nodded her head and wrapped her arms around my waist… "It's gonna be the best Christmas yet, I can feel it."
"Yeah it is." I replied, cupping her cheeks in my hands and pressing my lips to hers softly
"What are you planning?" she asked as she pulled away from me
"What?" I questioned
"You're planning something." she informed me
I shook my head… "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Fine," she replied "pretend as if you don't know but I know you do, and I'll find out soon."
"Yes you will." I informed her
"So there is something?" she inquired
"It's called a surprise." I admitted as I pulled away from her "I'm gonna jump in the shower."
"Tyler!" she proclaimed
"What?" I asked as I turned back to her "I promise you, you'll find out more when the time is right."
She smiled at me warmly and shook her head… "What're you planning?"
"All you need to know is that you're gonna love it." I informed her
Tyler has a surprise planned for Piper – whatever could it be?
