Chapter 24|| Christmas

BANG!

My room door few open and in came Aoi with super hipper, and started to jump on my bed.

"Nee-chan! Nee-chan! Wake up its Christmas! It's Christmas!" she says while she keeps on jumping on my bed. I smile her and get up pull her down and hug her and say merry Christmas to her. She returns my hug and I see she has changed her clothes, I am guessing mom did or dad since I was asleep. I sent Aoi out of my room so I could change out of my pajamas into some thing more warm and comfortable.

After getting ready go downstairs and I smell something really delicious! When I entered the family room my dad came up and hugged me tight to him. I smiled and hugged him back

"Merry Christmas dad."

"Merry Christmas Mikan." He says and breaks the embrace. We walk into the room and I see my brother playing with Aoi, giving her a piggyback ride. I wish I had those when I was a kid. I walk into the kitchen to greet and get a glance at what she was making.

"Hi mom, merry Christmas." I say and hug her. She smile and hugs me back and greets me as well.

"What are you making?"

"Chocolate chips pancakes with whip cream." She says and I jump with joy. Childish I know but I love chocolate chip pancakes! They are so good and amazingly delicious. I quickly head to the table but I bump into someone, mainly my brother and he smirks down at me.

"Whoa there squirt. Are you not going to greet me first before pancakes?" Youchi says and I laugh at him but then hug him.

"My Christmas big brother." I say and he replies back.

"Now can I some pancakes." I look at him with those puppy eyes Aoi usually gives and they always work. He nods and I ran to the table and started munching down my beloved pancakes.

...

"Okay, so who wants to open up presents?" my dad questions us and immediately Aoi jumps up and down and responds ' I do! I do!' to his question. He looks at her adoringly and how cute she looks right now. My dad goes and gets the present he got for her for Christmas, as well as mom, Youchi and me.

"This is from me sweetheart." My mom says and gives Aoi her presents. There are about four presents since each one of us brought for her. The first one is from my father, she opens is it and it is a Barbie house with given dolls and accessories,

"Thank you papa." She says and hugs my dad. The next one is from mom opens is a kitchen set. It has early all the kitchen stuff and automatic voice recorder that teaches you how to cook, or play. She runs up to my mom and hugs her.

"Thank you mama." Aoi says and my mom says welcome and returns the hug. The next present is from me. When she opens it there are many different coloring books from all her favorite Disney characters including Elsa, and Olive from Frozen. She loves them and also gave their stuffed toys of Elsa and Olive. She squeals and hugs me tight.

"Thank you so much Mikan-nee-chan I love it!" Aoi says happily and I hug her in return. I love it that she loves my gift and last but not least my brother's gift to her. She opens it there is a little box, Aoi opens it and here is a bracelet. It was silver with pink gems around the beads and it looked beautiful. Aoi gasps and hugs Youchi tightly saying thank you over and over again. She sits in his lap wearing the braclet he got for her.

Now it was my turn to open presents. First present I got was given to me by dad and so I open it and see that there was an iphone6s. I look at him, not believing what he got me.

"This phone is iphone6s but there are some changes I made to it. You can listen to unlimited music, free call and text that way we know when you need something. I also added 117 yen so you can download apps and games for your entertainment. I hope you like it." He says. I look at him and rum up to him and hug him. I don't like his present because I LOVE it. The phone I used was blackberry because I couldn't afford any other phone or it's plan.

"Thanks dad, I love it." I say and the next present I open was from my mom. I open it and there was a set of Edward Collins things; there was a shirt, cup, hat, and the twilight series. I was always a crazy fan of him, which mom thought was weird, but never said anything about it.

"I know you are a crazy fan of Edward Collins so I thought that I get some things by him." she says I gave her a big hug and say thank you. The last present was from my brother. I open it and see there was a box similar to Aoi but slightly bigger, so I open it and in there was a beautiful necklace. It was silver and sparkling and the brand was the same as Aoi gift. I look at him shocked.

"I know you loved shinny and sparkly things, and knew you also loved jewelry. So I went to to Pandora and found this, and immediately it reminded me of you so I bought it for you as a Christmas present." He says and I hug him tightly as ever.

"Hey, I wanna part of the hug." Aoi says and comes in the middle of our hug. I smile down at her and Youchi gives us both a hug.

We open the rest of the presents as well; Youchi got some presents from us as well and I also gave presents to mom and dad. I gave Youchi a jersey, mom a nice wristwatch, and gave mom a nice perfume. They all loved it and soon we ate dinner.

...

it was night and I was sleeping on my bed until I heard a knock on my window. I look at the clock and it was nearly midnight. I walk up to my window and see Natsume. I gasp and quickly open to let him inside.

"Are you crazy Natsume!" I whisper-yell at him.

"Do you know what time it is!? Why are you were in the middle of the night!? How did…" I was cuff by him placing his hand over my mouth. He looked at me and grinned.

"Shut up Polka. You scream any louder and the rentals will be awake." He says and I move his hand from my mouth.

"They are not my rentals, they are my family, and what are you doing here?"

"Came to see you, love." He says and I blush and the word love. I look away but he put his finger under my chin and made me look at him.

"Don't ever hid your blush from me. It so beautiful." He says in a huskily voice and I know why that my face is red and burning. He grabs something from his pocket and came out a small box. He opens it and there was a ring. Oh no. Is he…

"I am not proposing to you. This is not an engagement ring. It is a promise ring." He says, "I love you Mikan and I can't live without you. You are so beautiful and I know that I was a huge jerk to you, yet you never gave up on me. You still kept that beautiful smile that you always have, and never lost hope in anyone. You are the only girl in my heart and in my life that can make me feel the way I do. Mikan Sakura you are mine. Forever and ever." With that he puts the ring on my finger and tears flow down my cheeks.

"Natsume."

"Shh…don't cry love." He says and kisses me and within a second I kiss him back. I love the way he makes me feel.

"I love you too. So much." I say when we break the kiss.
