A/N: Well….that last chapter was probably the most BORING thing I've ever written. I promise I won't write things like that anymore.

Serika's P.O.V

Christmas. Ahh Christmas. My favorite holiday. I get to see my family and eat until I throw up. This year, Christmas is going to be at Auntie Mika's house. Shuichi is excited to see everyone and so am I. But Yuki….well, as everyone knows, he's not a big fan of his family. He's even more pissed because Tashio's coming with.

Tashio's parents left and I felt bad for him so I asked Shuichi and he gave in to my puppy dog eyes. When Yuki found out, he was so mad. When my family found out, they were excited.

I'm getting ready. The party's at 3:30 and Tashi will be here at 3:00. I look at the clock and gasp. It's already 2:50! Shit! I yell mentally I run out of my room crashing into my blonde haired father.

"What the hell Serika! Where's the damn fire!" Yuki shouts at me.

"Sorry dad. Tashio's gonna be in here in like ten minutes! I still gotta get ready!" I say standing up of the floor. I run to the laundry room and open the dryer door. This is what I get for waking up late. All I did so far was clean my room, take a shower, and scrunch my hair.

I scan my eyes in the dryer and see what I'm looking for. I grab my red and green, pleaded, mini skirt and my white, button down, slim cut blouse. I run back to my room and quickly change out of my robe and into my outfit.

As I try to zip up back of my skirt, the zipper gets stuck. "Shit!" I yell tugging on it. "Shuichi!" I yell.

I hear my father come padding down the hard wood floor. "What it is Rika?" he asks me.

"Can you help me with the damn zipper?" I ask frustrated.

"Sure thing." He says. He zips it up and turn me around. "You look great." he says.

"Thanks dad." I say back.

"Hell no." a voice says from my doorway.

I look up to see Yuki. "What?"

"Take it off. Wear something different." the author tells me.

I open my mouth to say something but Shu cuts me off. "What do you mean take it off?" my father says putting his hands on his hips. "She looks fine the way she is!" he says.

"Did you forget Tashio's coming? He's gonna be all over her!" Yuki yells back.

"She wants to dress up for him." Shuichi says.

"She can wear something different." Yuki says back.

Just then, the door bell rings. Thank God for Tashio. I run to the door and open it with a smile. I hug Tashio happily.

"Hey honey." he says.

I release him and let him come in. He shuts the door behind him. I take his coat off of him and hang it neatly. Suddenly, two arms wrap around my waist.

"You look so cute." Tashio says in my ear,

I turn in his arms so I am facing him. "And you look very handsome." I say back. I place my lips gently on his and kiss him.

He lets go of me and sits on the couch. I walk into the kitchen, "Do you want something to drink?" I ask.

"No thanks." he says.

I grab water for myself and shut the fridge. "I still gotta finish getting ready. You make yourself at home." I say. I leave to walk down the hallway.

"Did he grab you ass?" Yuki asks me.

"Shut up dad!" I yell back. Oh boy…this is gonna be a LLOONNGG night.
