Chapter 7
Chloe grinned as she followed her mother and David up the driveway to the Amber's front door. Rachel's gift was clutched in her hands, it was something Chloe had made herself, it wasn't a typical gift either, but she still hoped Rachel would like it.
As her mother knocked on the door, Chloe mused. 'Rachel hinted she'd found something perfect for me too...I wonder...what could it be?'
Just the thought of it, the anticipation, made Chloe all the more excited. It was the 25th of December after all, the one day where even she found it impossible to complain about anything.
'Even David's presence is tolerable, who would've guessed he knew how to relax.' She reflect with a wry smirk.
The door was answered at that moment by Rose who grinned widely.
"Ah, Joyce, David, Chloe, hello, come in, welcome." She greeted them enthusiastically. "Merry Christmas."
They all smiled as they entered, returning her greeting warmly. Rachel was seated on the recline and stood up to greet them too, at the same time as James came downstairs. The joyous mood was infectious and everybody present enjoyed their time together, talking, sharing gifts and having lunch together.
Chloe sent Rachel a quick look and Rachel nodded in response, they would wait until after lunch to share their gifts with each other. They also had another plan, one for tonight.
So it was, after lunch, that Chloe found herself in Rachel's room. Rachel was seated, cross-legged, on her bed, grinning at her, a small package in her hands. Chloe was clutching her own gift for Rachel too as she returned Rachel's grin.
"So, gift swap?" Chloe queried.
Rachel laughed but nodded and they gave each other their gifts.
"Go on now." Rachel insisted. "I wanna see your face when you see it."
Chloe rolled her eyes but opened her gift and gasped at what she saw.
"No way, Rach…?" She whispered.
Rachel smiled lightly. "I remember you admiring it every time we passed the shop, so, I figured why not."
Chloe grinned as she lifted up the black cord necklace, from which hung three bullets.
"You seriously went and bought this, for me..." Chloe choked out.
Rachel nodded. "Yeah, of course I did."
Grinning Chloe immediately hugged Rachel before putting the necklace on.
"Thanks, it's, it's awesome."
Rachel laughed and then turned her attention to her gift; she opened it and found a portrait sized box inside the wrapping. She quirked an eyebrow at Chloe who nodded, seemingly nervous. Opening the box Rachel gasped as she then took out the contents. It was a drawing Chloe had done herself, of an intricate dragon design.
"Wow, Chloe, you...you drew this?" Rachel gasped.
She nodded. "Yeah, I, well..."
"It's amazing...I better get this framed." Rachel replied with a devious grin. "Better still...I think I've found my tattoo design."
As she said that, Chloe saw her gaze drifting to Chloe's right arm, towards Chloe's own tattoo and she grinned; she knew with certainty now, Rachel adored the gift, just as Chloe adored hers.
It was late at night and for once, without the need to sneak around as their families knew about things before hand, Chloe and Rachel lay in bed together. They simply held each other in the dark; enjoying the peaceful silence as they found happiness in each others arms.
Rachel nestled her head against Chloe's shoulder and Chloe tucked Rachel's head under her chin and, at peace together they drifted off into a peaceful sleep, having spent what they felt was the most wondrous Christmas together.
End of chapter and of story, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
