Jeremy's P.O.V
I quickly woke up a bit startled by the sound of the front door closing completely forgetting that I was still at Ryan's house. I took my phone out of my pocket to check the time realizing that it was already 1 a.m then put it away once I saw how I managed to get my body across the couch with one leg hanging over and somehow twisted my upper body enough to be hanging down almost falling down from the sofa.
"How on earth is this possible?" I asked myself while trying to sit up without hurting myself. I stretch a bit hoping that it would somehow help with not getting sore later on then walked over to the floor where Ryan was sleeping. I leaned down and tried to wake him but with the way he was moaning and all jittery I felt it would be best to leave him to whatever he was dreaming about. I've learned the hard way not to disrupt that boy's sleep, he is not a happy camper when you do. Instead I took a little piece of paper and pen that was on the coffee table and quickly wrote on it before sticking it on his forehead. I made my way to the front door and out to my car then drove the 30 long minutes home.
Once at home, I made my way over to the bathroom and brushed my teeth then washed my face before making my way back to the bedroom and quickly changed to some comfy pajamas and went straight to bed not waisting any time to fall asleep.
"Mmm Carlitos, I love it when you kiss me like that" I muttered out to myself not awair that I was sleep talking. "Wow, did you really miss me that much?" I began to giggle a bit when I was woken up by a slight tickle of a wet tongue on my cheek. I still had my eyes closed and assumed it was Carlos plus I was enjoying it a lot. "Papi, now your just getting kinky." I whispered out feeling the wetness from the saliva all over my face now.
"Um, are you alright there babe?" I heard a familiar voice ask from across the room. I suddenly opened my eyes and jumped up a bit when I was face to face with a German Shepherd.
"Car...Carlos, please tell me that this is your dog." I said as calm as possible so I wouldn't freak the dog out.
"Jeremy meet Sydney, the newest member of the family and your Christmas gift." Carlos said walking over to the bed to sit next to Sydney and began to play with her. "Isn't that right Syd."
"Aww you got me a puppy? She is adorable Carlitos, but next time I would like a fair warning before she comes and attacks my face with kisses." I said reaching out to pet her as well.
"Aww she was just saying hi Jer, she seems to really like you." Carlos said chuckling a bit at my reaction.
"I like you too Sydney, I have a feeling we are going to get along just fine." I said leaning in to give her a big hug, Carlos leaned in and joined in on the hug. Sydney sat down and laid her head between both of, we worked around her and leaned on each other while resting our backs on the headboard.
"How was your Christmas eve, was Becca surprised?" Carlos asked tuning his head enough to press his head on mine.
"Are you kidding me, she was in tears. I guess we should get ready to head over Ryan's huh" I said reaching out with one hand to wrap around Carlos' waist while the other continued to pet Sydney.
"Not just yet, I want to enjoy this moment for a little bit longer. There is nothing I love more then just laying in bed and holding you as close as possible." Carlos whispered the last part in my ear.
"Aww Carlitos me too, I've missed you so much." I said leaning in for a peck on the cheek.
"I missed you just as much, and now when I'm gone you wont be as lonely now that you'll have Sydney to keep you company." He said smiling while looking over at how Sydney took a liking to me pretty quickly.
"That's so thoughtful sweetheart, and that's one of the many reasons of a very long list of why I love you."I said leaning in for a kiss. He leaned in and kissed me , making sure to take his time to really enjoy the kiss almost as if he was trying to make for the lost of time. We continued to kiss for about 2 minutes until I felt Sydney tilt her head a bit to move my hand enough to pet her. I backed off the kiss and moved my hand back and forth to pet her.
"I think I'm going to have to compete for you attention huh." Carlos joked.
"Aww Baby you'll always be my number one, but Sydney is not too far off." I joked right back, playfully bumping his shoulder with mine.
"Guess we should go to Ryan's now huh." He said as he took a quick glance at the time on his phone.
"Yeah I guess we should, but I kind of want to make something really quick before we go over. I really hate going over people's houses empty handed you know.." I said slowly standing up, Sydney got up along with me and followed me to the door.
"Good idea, I'll help." Carlos said while getting up to meet up with us. The 3 of us made our way to the kitchen and I quickly began to look in the pantry for anything that would be quick and easy to make.
"How about cookies?" Carlos asked making his way over to help me look.
"Nah they take too long, plus I already made some yesterday. Hmm how about a Gingerbread house?" I asked looking at the massive amount of candy we had since we both had big sweet tooth's.
"Yeah, that would be fun and a super creative idea. That's why I love you." He said as leaning in for a kiss but I back away before he could press his lips with mine.
"Is that the only reason?" I playfully asked.
"No, there's a billion reasons why but we don't have that kind of time right now. I'll tell you later, if your lucky." He said now forcing his lips on mine. We kissed for about a minute until I happen to glance over the time on the stove and quickly pushed off the kiss.
"Crud we really need to hurry up, I still want to shower real quick before we go." I said grabbing everything that was needed to make a Gingerbread house and walked to the counter with it all. I opened the Gram crackers and began stack them in a little pile, while Carlos separated the candy to make things go faster. I then opened the can of white frosting and walked over to get a butter knife and a baking sheet to have something to put the house on. I noticed that Carlos had already popped a few m & m's in his mouth and was trying to sneak some more before I got back, I put my hand over his to stop him before he ate more.
"Nuh uh, those are for the Gingerbread house Carlitos." I warned him while grabbing 2 gram crackers and spreading frosting on the ends to make them stick.
"But I just can't help myself, I mean..they are right there." He said grabbing another handful.
"Your too cute, but don't eat too many ok. We wouldn't want you to end up with a tummy ache now would we." I asked him giving him a sterned look knowing that's exactly what was going to happen if he kept that up.
"Ok, fine I won't." He said pouting a bit while handing me two more gram crackers to add frosting to. I held the two gram crackers up so he could add the other two to for the base of the house, then added two more for the roof. I added two small triangles to either side of the roof to close it up then added more frosting on each corner of the house to make sure it wouldn't fall apart. Carlos took some peppermints out of the wrappers and began to place them on top of the roof making sure they were all in a straight line across the whole roof. I then took some gum drops and placed them on each of the corners. Carlos took a gram cracker and broke it in half then put a bit of frosting on the edges before placing them on the house to make it look as if the doors of the house were open.
"That's so creative Carlitos." I said smiling over at him while licking the little frosting that got on my fingers off.
"Thanks.. you uh got a little something right there." Carlos said smiling over at me and pointed at my face.
"Where.." I asked rubbing my hand on my cheek.
"Right..over...here." He said while taking his finger and dipping it in the frosting then smeared it on my nose.
"Oh nice try babe, come on no goofing off. Lets get this done." I said as I wiped my nose with my sleeve.
"Fine, but first.." He said while dipping his finger into the frosting once again and dabbing his finger on my lips to leave behind frosting. He leaned in and licked off the frosting before turning it into a kiss. We continued working on the Gingerbread house, getting creative with the M & M's by lining them up to make little window frames with them, then used candy canes to make a gate around the house. We quickly used up as much candy as we could to quickly finish it, making more of a mess then anything.
"..And for the finish touch, a little gummy bear family." Carlos said as he placed a few gummy bears by the door.
"Perfect baby, now it's time for a quick shower then head over Ryan's. Want to join?" I playfully teased while walking away.
"Yes, Marry Christmas to me." Carlos said, soon following me right to the bathroom
