Jingle Bells Rock
A rock is presented as an engagement gift directly after a marriage proposal is accepted, right?
23rd December
Kurt walked into the living room to see Sam and Blaine huddled together "What are you two up to now?" he rolled his eyes as his husband and Sam conspiring
"Nothing" Sam looked at him coming towards them and pushed something in his pocket
"I'm not blind" Kurt looked to see if he could see anything
"I better get going" Sam got up hugged Blaine then Kurt as he walked past him before leaving
"What was he hiding?" Kurt sat down ready to interrogate Blaine
"It's more than my life's worth to breathe a word" Blaine laughed
"More than your marriage is worth?" he looked at him with narrow eyes
"You always pull that one" Blaine laughed "I'm saying nothing"
"So, you're telling me your secret with Sam is worth more than our marriage?"
"I'm telling you to mind your own damn business, bro talk is out of bounds you know this"
"You're cooking tonight" Kurt got up sharply, he always did that in the hope that Blaine couldn't cope with his hour long sulk and let everything out, but after five years of marriage he knew every stunt his hubby pulled when he got into spoilt brat mode, he wasn't having it.
"Okay, I'll cook" Blaine called after him "Cause I'm not spoiling the surprise"
"There's a surprise?" Kurt walked back into the room super interested "You know I have to be a part of all that" he flung himself on the couch and crossed his legs excitedly
"I've said too much already" Blaine got up "I'll start dinner" he smiled walking past a frustrated Kurt, there were five days to Christmas, and he was going to have to play this game until then
"Mm mm" Kurt watched him leave, convinced he knew the secret, he took his phone out and made the call "Mercedes" he whispered, "Is Sam home yet?"
"No, he's at work, why are you whispering?" she whispered back
"I have gossip, your gossip" he grabbed the cushion excitedly "I think Sam's going to finally pop the question"
"Seriously" Mercedes screeched at the revelation
"Why so surprised, you've been ready for over a year now"
"I know, but he hasn't even given me a hint" she giggled "Wait" she stopped the conversation "Did you say think?"
"Yeah"
"Walk me through it Hummell"
"I walked into the living room, and they were huddled together talking, as soon as they knew I was in the room Sam shoved something in his pocket and left, and Blaine has clammed up"
"And that makes it a ring?"
"When has Blaine ever lasted more than ten minutes with a secret, this has to be the big secret"
"God, I've got to look surprised now, I'm sat here in my freaking night dress"
"What are you doing in a night dress already?"
"I look a mess, God what am I going to do, should I tell him I know?" she ignored his question, that was none of his business
"No Diva, you know how he is with his surprises" he warned "Get that poker face sorted and use it"
"Poker face?" she laughed
"Is that jingle bells?" Kurt laughed, hearing their new door chime "You two have gone all out"
"He's home" she clicked the phone shut and sat watching the door open "Babe" she smiled at seeing his face come round the door "How was work"
"Fuck work, are you ready for me?"
"Babe" she moaned
"Okay" he laughed "Once you've done one underwear shoot you've done them all you know"
"Sounds like you're getting bored" she dropped her head on the back of the couch to take his kiss "Poor baby, I did your favourite for dinner"
"What time did you get home?" he asked surprised she'd found the time to cook after her day
"A while ago, I got the song done in half a day"
"I'm not surprised, you're brilliant"
"Because you have my back" she smiled "So what's up with work?"
"I love coming home" he threw his jacket on the back of the couch, dropped his case and kissed her waiting lips and squeezed her nipple before he jumped over it to sit beside her "It's not the job it's the bureaucratic shit that precedes it" he moaned "It takes longer than the actual shoot, agreeing and signing contracts, when it's just for one day, it's so laborious"
"And we know how you hate paperwork, if I could do it for you babe" she looked at him pouting her lips before kissing his lips for comfort "That was the last day before the holiday though, yeah?"
"Yep" he perked up "Three days of just us, I can't wait" he smiled "Kurt and Blaine are going back to Lima tomorrow morning, Rachel and Finn have gone off to Iceland or somewhere like that, which just leaves me and you alone in our brownstone, to make noise and well…" he giggled looking around
"We're always at home alone" she looked at him
"Yeah but we usually go home for the holidays don't we, this year" he bounced on the couch "We're gonna bust some serious springs"
"Inviting" she giggled jumping up to sort his dinner out, bursting to say something about his surprise
"Can I help?" he stood in the kitchen doorway asking, "With anything?" he walked teasingly towards her
"Sam" she purred at him, knowing what that look was "I'm about to go in the oven" she giggled at him grabbing her butt enough to make her jump
"I'm about to put something in someone's oven" he wiggled his eyebrows "I played nice now give me what I asked for" he pulled her to him with some urgency, smiling as she melted into his arms, sinking his head into her neck to smell her, as he sung his favourite bedroom vibe.
Mmhm, mmhmm, mmhm, aye baby, when I touch her she like (oh), when I hug her (oh)
When I rub her she like (oh), when we cut it's like (oh), then she got me saying (girl tonight)
"Sam" she giggled
"You smell so good" he whispered as his fingers moving rhythmically from head to stomach making sure to touch all her spots, making his way down to slide between her legs "I missed you today" his mouth left her neck and grabbed her lips, his free hand grabbed her hair and pulled it back off her face. "Did you miss me?" he stopped kissing to ask
"Mm mm" she moaned at him finding her spot
"You did, didn't you?" his fingers playing the familiar tune with her swelling third nipple, smiling as she pushed against his hand, he stayed there until her body started demanding, then quickly removed his hand, still kissing her teasingly "Do you want me?" he asked, grinning at the want on her face
"Mm mm" she moaned at his fingers entering her one by one, moving inside her as his thumb carried on paying her spot attention "babe" she gasped when he filled her with all four fingers, her leg finding rest on the counter opposite, she was getting close to that place they were both familiar with
He fingers stopped not wanting things to end quickly, his swollen lips kissing hers again, the tension he knew they both needed to get rid of, building inside them, he lifted her up and sat her on the counter, peppering kisses quickly down her body till he was on his knees exposing her nakedness, spreading her legs, and slid her panties to the side ready to dive at her like a thirsty pet being led to water, her moan giving the desired response he needed to hear.
…Eat you up when we in the kitchen, let you get on top when we by the stove
When she told me to do it faster, that's when I dug deeper, now every time I see her, I got to freak her cause…
When it came to sex he'd learned to touch her in the right place at the right time, her noise was so erotic it made his dick jump and filled his balls up so quickly he found it hard to control, for him the intensity brought him to a place of delicious pleasure, one he could only liken to suspense of their first time, the feel and thought forcing his tongue to work harder and faster, needing her to be where he was.
She grabbed his hair, knowing he wouldn't stop until she demanded him to, he quickly reacted standing up clumsily to find his place inside her, "You alright?" he asked watching her leaning uncomfortably against the sink, he grabbed hold of the sink and lifted her leg with his spare hand to support her as they moved in unison thrusting until they both collapsed amidst high pitched moans, kissing again as their breathing settled
"I could maybe do with some food now" he laughed letting her go
"Get out my kitchen" she slapped after him, giggling as she missed "Get in the shower" he seemed in a good enough mood for her to ask, but she was following Kurt's advice and leaving him to his surprise. She wondered if they'd ever get tired of their stress relief, or what they'd do instead when their family came along, because soon and very soon she was going to be Mrs Sam Evans "Nice ring to it" she grinned, getting on with sorting his dinner out
Shortly afterwards he was back downstairs sitting on the couch in his shorts waiting for food "What's up?" he asked of her smiling face coming into the living room
"Nothing" she walked in with a plate full of food and a tall glass of water
"You do know I'm on another shoot tomorrow morning?" he looked at the size of the plate
"I do" she showed him two forks and set the plate down between them "I thought we could talk about our future" she couldn't help it she threw food in her mouth to stop herself
"What about it?" he picked some food up and filled his mouth
"I mean I know you said we could bust some springs" she swallowed what was in her mouth "And that's great, but what are we doing for the actual day, we haven't brought any food, I've got two presents so far, the trees over decorated" she looked at the overdressed almost nettle less tree in the window, smiling at the feat they went through to get it into their car to bring it home, resulting in ripping most of the pine nettles off
"I told you, don't worry about any of that, I've got us covered" he picked the glass up "That's spicy" he drunk half the glass of water
"It's not that spicy, anyway, I agreed to us having a toned down holiday, not for us to forget it all together"
"We're not forgetting it, we agreed to do shopping together tomorrow afternoon, foods sorted, and we're going to have a great time, believe me" she smiled at him reassuring her, she already knew what her present was and his was that she was going to say yes, yes, yes. They ate, talked, laughed, watched TV, and cuddled until it was time for bed.
24th December
"Babe" he tapped her after sitting watching her sleep for a while "Babe" he nudged her again "I'm going now"
"God, what time is it?" she jumped out her sleep
"My bad, I went OTT a bit last night" he laughed, "But that was only because I knew you were home today"
"Have you had breakfast?" she sat up asking him
"I did a smoothie, I left some for you and there's waffles"
"You did all that?" she smiled
"Yeah" he laughed
…I want you to hold me, while I'm kissing all over your body slowly, give it to you like a O.G, in and out…
"Insatiable Sam" she laughed
"By the time I'm done we'll be turning this bedroom of ours into a freaking blue room"
"Not a red?"
"Too kinky for me, blue will do, maybe with spots of red" he laughed
"Have fun today, but not too much fun" she laughed "Planning Blue rooms" she threw the pillow at him stood there doing body rolls and biting his bottom lip
"I'll be back before you know it, make sure you're ready" he kissed her and left for work "Love you"
"Okay, love you too" she took his kiss and flopped back into bed
Twenty minutes later Kurt was back on the phone enquiring "Did he propose?"
"No" she sulked "But I think it's going to happen on the day" she perked up
"What Christmas Day?" Rachel butted in
"I thought you were in some icy place?" Mercedes looked at her phone
"I am" she laughed "But when Kurt called me last night to say we had an engagement party to plan, I had to get involved, you know me"
"Is it nice where you are?" Mercedes asked
"Oh" Rachel gasped "Postcard perfect, it even smells like Christmas"
"Is that a thing?" Mercedes asked
"Stop" Kurt demanded "We're supposed to be arranging a party" he whispered "Hold on, incoming" the two of them sat on their phones waiting for Kurt to say goodbye to Blaine "Needs must" he came back on the phone talking more freely now "So if the proposal's tomorrow the party will have to wait until New Year's Eve, gives us time to get everyone together"
"Did he tell you this is all based on something he thinks he might have heard?" Mercedes asked Rachel
"Well, I think the clue is, it was something small enough to put in his pocket" Rachel told her
"You two are as bad as each other and you're seriously building my damn hopes up" she laughed
"It is kind of the next step in your relationship Diva" Kurt reminded her "Everyone else is chained I really don't know what you two are waiting for"
"The right time" Mercedes told him
"Come on Mercedes, you two knew the right time from day one" Rachel laughed "This is it girl, he's pulling out the big guns"
"What do you know about his big guns?" Mercedes enquired
"Only what you tell me" she laughed "Which is nothing"
"So, we'll arranged for everyone to meet at yours for 8pm New Year's Eve, just tell him we're coming over" Kurt announced
"We'll organise the drinks" Finn appeared behind Rachel smiling and waving
"We'll do the music, and sort the food" Kurt agreed
"We'll split the crew in two and contact everyone" Kurt added "And we have a party"
"My days started" Kurt announced "Speak to you bitches later, I've got a plane to catch, happy holidays"
"I'm off to bed" Rachel told them
"That's early to bed" Mercedes laughed
"Lots of presents to open" she giggled "Happy holidays"
"Happy holidays" Mercedes laughed closing the call, wondering already what this engagement party was going to be like.
Sam got home from work that afternoon in a better mood than the day before ready to shop, they started to feel the festive vibes as they drove into the town, work was behind them for a few days. They weren't going home this holiday because Mercedes album was dropping on the 28th and promotion for it had already started, while Sam was doing some cover shots to Vogue on the 30th. Neither of them had any idea of what really went into a festive meal from scratch, they generally just rocked up at one of their parent's homes with presents and treated the whole holiday as if they were living in a hotel, all inclusively.
"Why are we stopping here?" she looked at the outdoor retail store
"It's for a shoot" he lied
"You don't buy your own gear for a shoot" she followed him getting out the car
"It's a private one"
"When did you start doing private shoots, I don't know if I like the sound of that" she looked at him suspiciously, watching him walk towards her
..In, out, show me how you work them walls, up, down, show me how you work them jaws
And in the bed when the faucet run, you will catch that drain, that's why I love getting freaky with you cause, you is a nasty thang..
He sang in her ear as he walked closely behind her, she giggled and playfully pushed him away "One track mind"
"That's me" he laughed
"I don't want a hunting jacket as a present babe"
"Babe" he laughed "I'm not buying you a hunting jacket, honest" he giggled at the look she gave him "We're just looking"
"Looking?" she looked at him "For outdoor gear…for a private shoot?"
"Humour me" he laughed
They walked around the store looking at absolutely everything, he was into golf as a pastime with the boys, so they spent some time looking at stuff for that before he started trying stuff on, she got fed up and started trying stuff on too. They finally walked out with two caps and a long rain mac for him and a pair of red and white sneakers for her, hoping they were ready to focus on the festive season "We haven't brought any presents" she looked at him as they walked out of the shop, they'd spent so much time in there they were running out of options
"Don't worry about it, I brought you something already" he laughed "We're together, you know that's always everything for me"
"And me babe, but.." she shook her head knowing the next part of the conversation was going to ask about the proposal. Damning herself for being drawn into Kurt's pretence, she settled into their intimate night both demanding until early morning before they found sleep.
25th December
"Babe" he nudged her excited for giving her the first present "Present" he dangled something in front of her
"Yes" her eyes widened as she sat up, looking at the item in his hand "You brought me a car?" she looked at the key "I thought we weren't getting a second car until we'd finished the payments on this place?"
"It's not a car babe, it's our car, and it's not new, that's not the present, come on get up and get dressed"
"No breakfast in bed?"
"Get dressed" he pulled the covers off her "We're going to be late"
"Where are we going" she bounced in the bed sitting up to ask
"Get dressed and you'll find out, we're on a clock babe, hurry up"
She stood in the shower trying to work out where this romantic spot was going to be, where the all-important question was going to be popped, trying to play out in her head how she was going to react. While trying to find the word to tell him that the engagement party had already been set up, wondering if she should just come clean and tell him she knew once he'd proposed. She came out of the bathroom to find jeans, t-shirt along with some new underwear on the bed, obviously he wanted her to wear them, she smiled at it and went about getting dressed, it was clear they were going out, hence no food in the house.
Minutes after they were dressed, they donned walking boots and raincoats and got in the car "Jay's?" she asked as the car came to a halt "It's a holiday it won't be open babe"
"Come on" he got out the car and stood waiting for her "Special opening for a special lady" he pushed the door open
"Sam, Mercedes" Jay called watching them walk in "Special breakfast, just for you"
"Jay" Mercedes laughed "How did he get you to do this?"
"He has his ways" Jay laughed
"I have my ways" Sam laughed showing her a seat, they sat eating breakfast while talking to Jay and his wife, they didn't celebrate the season, so he didn't mind opening up, but there wasn't much call for it "Thanks Jay" Sam got up and shook the man's hand "Worth every cent" he smiled before they put their jackets on and left the café.
The twenty five minute drive ended with them sat in High Rock Park "We're not hiking?" she asked in disbelief "Babe it's Christmas"
"If you want your present you better get walking" he warned jumping out the car
"Sam Evans you are crazy" she huffed walking around the car to get to him, it was just like him to do something like this. The one blessing was that he'd chosen the shortest hike of them all so it would be over in around two hours, the downside was it was all uphill "Why are we going off trail?" she asked as he pulled her into a woody patch, they walked through it for around five minutes before the trees cleared and a beautiful view of the lake came into view "This is beautiful" she gasped at the breath taking view of lake, hills and blue skies.
"I found it a few weeks ago" he picked up a rock "I put this here to see how many people pass by here, obviously very few" he threw the stone up in the air
"I don't understand"
"I chose an uphill trail on purpose" he smiled grabbing hold of her hand "Because it only leaves two choices back or forward, I'm impressed you didn't moan once, after we started" he smiled "This is the goal" he looked out across the lake "Much like life it's about stepping out in faith, trust and knowing even though it might get tough, we've got each other's backs"
"I've always got your back babe"
"We drudge through this life of ours just getting on with it, but I wanted us to just take a minute today while the world is steeped in presents, dinner and family to reflect on our achievements, we've accomplished a hell of a lot and we've got big dreams, we need this time, this place to sit and just take a breath"
"Where did this deep Sam come from babe?" she smiled at him
"I guess I'm looking at our future, we're close babe, and when we get there it's going to cause disruption, we'll want more from each other, if we're physically, mentally and emotionally prepared that's half the battle. I came off the track to find this place, and when I found it I was reminded that there's always a new path, things don't need to come to an end they just change course to find something new, something better, and we are going to get better"
"I believe that babe" she stroked his jaw
"I thought this could be our spot, other's might use it, but they'll always wonder who these two are" he looked down at the massive rock he stood in front of, she walked round to look at what he was looking at
"Babe" she gasped at their names carved into the rock
"Happy holidays"
"Happy holidays" she grinned "This is so random" she reached up and kissed him before looking back at the carving "Samcedes Forever" she smiled "Damn straight" they looked beyond the stone to the beautiful view and stood in silence
"Oh" he ruffled in his pocket and took something out before he sat on their rock "This belongs to you" he handed her a small box "I said it was close"
"So that was the proposal?"
"That was it" he smiled "If I'd have just said marry me you'd have laughed, I want you to know how serious this is, what I'm asking, what I want to give you, what I want us to be…" he didn't get any more out she was kissing him with every yes she uttered.
"You always got to be different, extra, special, Sam freaking Evans" she giggled "And I love you for being you" she opened the box and gasped at the large rock staring back at her "This is beautiful" she hugged him again
"How about we get married right here, our spot?"
"As long as I get to chose my dress, I just want to marry you" she agreed
"And I know you knew this was going to happen, Blaine told me about Kurt being on the phone the other day, is he planning our wedding?"
"Engagement party"
"Okay I can work with that" he laughed "I did good, right?"
"You did good" she giggled at him bursting into his usual rendition of 'Girl Tonight' by Trey Songz & Twister "That mind of yours has once speed" she laughed
When I touch her she like, oh, when I hug her, oh-oh, when I rub her she like, oh, when we cut it's like, oh
she got me saying, girl, tonight
"You love it, take your clothes off" his hand grabbed hold of her belt
"What right here?" she looked around the open space
"Present" he took the rain mac out his backpack "Cover up with that"
"I guess this is going to be a proposal I can never tell anyone about" she started stripping
