Patricia's POV

"Yacker, come on, wake up." someone whispers in my ear.

I groan and stretch my arms over my head. I open my eyes and I'm greeted by bright, mischievous, blue-green orbs. "Ugh, what time is it?"

"Ten till midnight." Eddie replies.

"What?" I exclaim, sitting straight up in my bed.

"You slept right through Christmas." Eddie states.

I scoff. "Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

"You were asleep." he answers.

"Good point." I say immediately.

"Everyone's asleep, but I thought you and I could spend the last few minutes of Christmas together." he rubs the back of his neck nervously.

I smile and get out of my warm bed, getting hit with the cold quickly. I shiver and something's draped over my shoulders before I can reach my jacket. I send Eddie a grateful glance and pull the blanket tighter around me. We head downstairs and sit down in front of the Christmas tree in the common room. The blinking tree lights cast a festive glow throughout the room along with the blazing fire in the fireplace beside us, and a couple presents were scattered around the base of the pine's stump.

"Everyone got you something." Eddie motioned to the gifts under the tree.

"I'll open those later." I tell him and he shrugs. "Here." I hand him a small, square wrapped present I had hidden under a cushion on the couch.

"So generous." he says in fake shock, hand over his heart.

I raise an eyebrow at him and he rips the paper. His eyes grow wide and he looks up at me, then back at the gift. "How did you get this?"

"My parents know some people that work at the studio they record at and asked for a signed copy. They decided to give you the new CD. That's the first one." I reply.

"You're incredible." he grins at me and looks back at the autographed Sick Puppies CD.

"So, what'd you get me?" I smirk at him.

He chuckles and hands me a small silver box with a black bow on the top.

"So generous." I mimic him.

"Yeah, yeah, open it." he rolls his eyes.

I take the lid off and cough down a gasp. In the bottom of the box was a silver chain with a purple amethyst pendent. I sat staring at it, mouth hanging open and eyes wide.

"Do you like it?" I heard him ask hesitantly.

I don't trust my voice to reply and just nod.

He takes the necklace from the box and moves behind me. He puts it around my neck as I hold my hair up, and clasps it with ease. I felt his lips press gently against the back of my neck, leaving the spot he'd kissed burning on my cold skin.

"How much did this cost?" I ask, feeling the stone with my forefinger as Eddie's arms snake around my waist from behind.

"It doesn't matter." I mumbles into my red hair.

"Yes, it does." I state stubbornly.

"No, it doesn't." he retorts, turning me around to face him. Now I was practically on his lap; practically straddling him.

I roll my eyes, too tired to fight with him tonight. He leans in and I smile, leaning in as well. When our lips were an aching centimeter away we jump back when a booming voice fill the house,

"What are you two doing? Get to your rooms! Now!" Victor orders.

Eddie and I scurry out of the room, holding in fits of laughter as he grumbles under his breath, putting the fire out.

"Merry Christmas." my boyfriend smiles down at me, wrapping his arms around my waist again, pushing my body up against his.

"Merry Christmas." I return the small grin and meet his lips halfway. The grandfather clock dinged, announcing that it was midnight, but I paid it no mind; I was too caught up in a certain someone's lips.

Hope y'all liked that! I absolutely LOVED it! I think it was one of my best! And to think I wrote this half asleep! :P The link for Patricia's necklace is on my profile under House of Couples down at the bottom. :) REVIEW and let me know what y'all think!

PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! PROMPT! :D

Poll...THE POLL! Never. Forget. It.

#29:

1 Peter 3:15-16

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

What could #28 be? We won't find out till the next chapter! Which won't happen unless y'all
PROMPT!

GOD BLESS! LOVE ALL AROUND!
