Enjoy!

Alfie poked his head into the foyer and his brown eyes roved over the room before shuffling in, arms packed with wrapping paper. He slipped past the common room's closed door and snuck into his room. No one was there and he was thankful. He dumped the paper on his bed and shut the door. He pulled Amber's present out of his sock drawer and set it on his dresser. He looked between the small box and the wrapping paper, and then back again. He finally sighed and whipped out some tape, heading in.

An hour later, he somehow managed to wrap himself up in the paper. His left arm was tied behind his back and his right arm was held over his head while he stood only on his left leg, the other held up by the paper. Along with the paper, the plastic skeleton he and Jerome kept in their room was pressed against his chest, tied up by the paper.

"Well, this wasn't supposed to happen." He huffed.

The bedroom door opened and he jumped.

Jerome stared at him without emotion for several seconds while Alfie just stared back. The blonde licked his lips and looked at the hardwood floor with a silent chuckle.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, I'll leave you too alone." He smirked, backing out of the room before his best friend could say anything.

"Jerome, have you seen Alfie?" Amber asked, skipping up to him.

He pointed to the bedroom without a word and headed for the kitchen.

"Hey, boo."

"Amber!" Alfie sighed in relief.

"What are you doing?" she said sternly, planting her fists on her hips.

"I was, em, trying to wrap a present." He cleared his throat sheepishly.

"Oh. Aw! Alfie, it's so beautiful!" she squealed, spotting the open case on his bed. A gold chain with a gold A pendent, lined with simple red jewels. "I love it, thanks, boo."

She kissed his cheek quickly and hopped over the door.

"Oh, right, Mara and I are going shopping so I won't be back for a few hours. Love you!"

"No, wait, Ambs—aw." He pouted as she slipped out and didn't pay him any mind. He looked down at the skeleton that was pinned to his chest. "Well, Lucy, looks like it's just you and me."

Well, this is the last update today. Hopefully, I'll upload tomorrow. Gonna watch a movie with my momma now. Night!
