Chapter 3
Chloe smiled to herself as she knocked on the door of the Amber's house. She shifted a little as she waited, trying to stay warm. It was the 21st of December and Chloe had made her way through the snow to the Amber's house, coming around to see Rachel. Before long Rose answered the door and smiled.
"Chloe, hello there, how are you?" She greeted the girl as she stepped back.
Entering the house, relieved at the warmth, Chloe grinned. "I'm fine, Mrs. Amber, thanks."
As she said this she looked around, taking note of the various boxes of Christmas decorations, she noted that, of all the Christmas decorations, only the tree was up and seemed finished, or at least, near enough finished.
Seeing Chloe's gaze Rose explained. "We're a bit behind this year, normally we have everything all ready. I don't know what's got into us this year."
At this moment James emerged from upstairs, carrying another box, Rachel just behind him with yet another.
"Oh, Chloe, you're here." Rachel remarked at once, eyes dancing the moment she saw her girlfriend.
Chloe grinned and nodded, looking at the decorations, before an idea came to her.
"Want a hand, I'd be happy to help out." She offered.
The Ambers all smiled at that and gladly accepted her offer.
So it was Chloe found herself helping to decorate the Amber house for Christmas, it was definitely more festive than hers was, yet still without being over the top. Rachel was clearly enjoying herself and for Chloe, that was always a lovely sight.
"So..." Rachel began with a teasing edge to her voice. "Four days to Christmas and you've come around to help us decorate...this some sort of early Christmas gift?"
Chloe rolled her eyes and laughed. "I don't know, maybe..."
"How thoughtful."
Chloe couldn't help but laugh again. "Hey now, this is our first Christmas together, you don't honestly believe I'd be so crass as to not get you a real gift?"
"Of course I wouldn't believe that Chloe." Rachel replied with a smirk. "Just as I know you don't believe that about me either."
They both laughed again and resumed their work, as they did so however, they began to think, their minds racing rapidly.
'Shit...' Chloe thought. 'I still haven't actually got a gift for Rachel...not for lack of trying mind, every chance I get I go out looking but...urgh, I just can't find anything I'm sure she'd like. I'm gonna have to really kick it into high gear if I'm to find one in time.'
Meanwhile Rachel was having her own thoughts. 'I still don't know what to get Chloe; all those days spent looking, trying to find something and I've nothing to show for it...urgh, there must something.'
They kept those worries to themselves however. But both planned carefully, determined to try and find the perfect gift for each other, within the next day or two.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
