I woke up the next morning to find Josh staring at me. He was on his side with his elbow bent and her head in his left hand. He was looking straight at me. A smile was on his face.

"Hey," I told him in my usually weird morning voice. I cleared my throat and smiled.

"Morning," He told me. He gave me a kiss. I smiled.

"Merry Christmas." I told him between kisses. I was being super cheesy but I felt like I was floating. I couldn't wait until he saw my present.

"Merry Christmas to you too." He smiled. He kissed me again before I said,

"Let's go," Then I jumped out of bed, and looked at him.

My parent's sent their gifts to me and I sent mine to them. So I actually had something to open. Not just Josh's gift.

Josh laughed at me while he got out of bed. He wore some pajama pants last night to bed and a t shirt. We walked downstairs hand and hand. I saw the Christmas tree that had been in the house ever since I got here. It just look extra special today. There was presents from my parents under the tree and presents from Josh's parents. I suddenly wasn't look forward to opening a cheap jacket my parents must of bought me. Josh wrapped his arms around my waist. I sighed.

"Ready to open your presents?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I guess." I told him. Then I picked up the box that said,

To: Reed

Love: Mom and Dad

I sighed before I slowly removed the wrapping paper. In it I found a digital camera. It was that really small Nikon one. But it was probably low in price because Nikon just came out with the new touch screen camera. And there's no way in hell my parent's would buy me that with the amount of money they spend on me for Christmas. But it was nice. I didn't actually see the camera, it was in it's box. Yet, it was one of the best gift's they've ever got me.

I opened a card from Scott, which was a picture of him and his new girlfriend. She was pretty, kind of like Scott's taste. It was taken in my kitchen. I could tell, because the same tile round table in in the view.

Once we where done opening family presents, we opened each others. I decided to go first. Josh handed me a box, smiling. I gently took it from his hands and took off the wrapping paper. It was from a jewelry store, I knew it. So I took off the top of the navy blue box and gasped at what I saw. It was the most beautiful bracelet I've ever seen. It was gold. And it had diamond hearts lined around it. Equally spaced out. It was perfect. I looked up at him.

"I can't take this." I told him. It must of cost a lot.

"Reed," Josh laughed. "I want you to have it though."

I just looked back from him to the bracelet.

"I love you." He said walking up to me and I was in his arms kissing him before he knew it.

"I love you too." I told him. He smiled and kissed me again. I pulled away, and bit my lip with a huge smile. "Now it's time for your present." I told him smiling.

"Where is it?" He asked laughing.

"Follow me," I told him. I took his hand, and led him up the stairs. He walked along with me. I finally got to the art studio and sighed. I turned to him and smiled.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Reed, what's going on?" He was clearly confused.

I smiled and opened the door, going in as is swung. "This." I smiled. He walked over and took it all in, the paints, the big canvas, the brushes, and the other things in the room pushed away and covered with plastic.

"What?" He asked.

"Well remember that time last year," I told him taking his hands with mine. "When you took me to that tiny room of yours? And we had that huge paint fight?"

"Yeah," Josh smiled.

"Well," I told him dragging on the word. "Now, we're going to paint that canvas so you can remember the second time we did this." I told him. Wrapping my arms around his neck.

He was speechless. He looked at the canvas with his mouth open a little. Then he looked back and me and kissed me on the lips. "Are you going to start?" He chuckled.

I nodded and we walked over to the paint brushes and paint. Josh took 2 paint brushes and handed one to me. Then we both dipped our brushes into a jar of paint and smiled. Josh took my hand and we walked over to the canvas. He let go of my hand to fling paint onto the canvas.

"I haven't done this in a while." He told me. "Oh, one thing!" Then he jogged to the corner and turned on some music. It was screaming through the speakers. I smiled as he jogged back and his brush swiped my side. I gasped and said,

"Oh you're going to get it Hollis!" Then I painted red onto his pants.

Soon we where at the paint fight all over again. And we where covered in paint. All over my pants, socks, shirt, hair, face, everywhere. Josh looked the same, we got a lot of paint on the canvas though. It was definitely how I wanted it to turn out.

Josh was heaving for breath as I dropped my brush into the can. He sat on the ground and I walked over to him and sat next to him. He smiled and fell back on his back.

"That was fun." He chuckled and pulled me back to the ground.

"It was," I said looking into his eyes. "You know what's good about doing this now?"

"What?" He asked entwining our fingers.

"Now, we can kiss." I smiled. He smiled too and leaned in to give me the most amazing and intense kiss I've ever got it was definitely a great present.
