'What the hell is wrong with you Beca? Just leaving a note? 2 days before Christmas? That is ridiculous, dangerous and selfish. We wanted a family Christmas and now you and Molly have left.'
Beca pulled the phone away from her ear and let her dad continue to scream before she even tried speaking. She heard a silence on the other end so took her cue to talk.
'Molly and Myself are extremely sorry to inconvenience you. Please forgive us and accept our absence as a Christmas present, a romantic holiday away for you and Sheila.' Beca made no effort to add any emotion into her voice, she didn't want her father to actually think he cared about the witch.
Beca heard a sigh and then the line went dead, either her father didn't want to talk to her or there had been some terrible disaster and he could no longer speak, either way at least it was quiet.
Beca had just put her head on her pillow before the phone rang again, thinking it was her father continuing the argument she rolled over and braced herself but she was simply greeted with Aubrey's caller ID. Beca was confused, her and Aubrey didn't really see eye to eye but Beca took the call regardless.
'Beca thank god, so Jesse told us you're alone for Christmas, and well I was wondering considering I am also alone this holiday, my parents have gone skiing, could we maybe spend an orphans Christmas together? We could invite some of the others over if their families aren't doing anything.'
'You know Aubrey, that actually sounds pretty cool, but there is no way in hell I'm cooking.'
'No, I'll bring pizza.'
'That's not very festive Aubrey.'
'Fine, pizza with turkey slices on top.'
'That's more like it, come round mine Christmas eve, I need sleep now, goodbye.'
Beca and Molly put up the tree Christmas eve, Beca normally didn't join in on the festivities with the family, but she was looking forward to this Christmas with only Molly and her friends, so far Aubrey and Chloe were planning on staying Christmas eve, and Jesse was going to join them the Christmas day after seeing his family, accompanied by Bumper and Amy. Molly didn't have any friends over as they were all still pretty young and their parents didn't let them leave Christmas, but Beca was sure Molly would get on fine with the group.
The three girls decided to go all out Christmas Eve with a traditional girly Christmas. All in their matching onesies, hair tied back and a bottle of wine to share. They broke out Love Actually and started the festivities, Beca wanted to watch Elf but the girls talked her into this one. She texted Jesse asking about the film and when he responded with a 3 page long text Beca decided to just wing it and watch the film, there wasn't enough time in the world to get through Jesses review.
The girls had consumed about 2 and a half bottles of wine between the three of them and were very overly giggly when it came to the awkward sex scene.
'Why can't someone be as cute as that with me?' Aubrey whined during the scene where the boy was holding up the cards to the girl he liked.
'He's trying to steal his best friend's wife?' Beca raised her eyebrow.
'Well, that's not the point I'm making Beca, look how romantic it is.'
'It's gross.'
'Don't act like you don't like romance Beca.' Molly chipped in and Aubrey nodded in agreement.
'Yeah, you have the bigges cheesiest romantic boyfriend in the world!'
'I don't ask him to be! It's embarrassing!'
'Sure that's why you get all giggly when he's around like you're a 14 year old with a crush!'
'I even heard your dad say to mum the other day how he approved of Jesse, he was a good influence.'
'Shut up, Jesses an ass, I don't ask for all the romance, he pushes it upon me, HE'S A PUSHER!'
The girls burst out laughing and Beca chucked two pillows in the directions of the girls. This of course escalated into a full blown pillow fight resulting in Beca sat on Molly's chest whilst Aubrey tried to pull the girl from under her. The girls finally fell to the floor laughing, tears coming from their eyes at how ridiculous they were being, and how much of a cliché they had just accomplished by having a pillow fight on girls night.
'We should probably go to sleep now; Santa can't bring us presents if we're all awake'. Beca teased as the girls all pulled blankets over themselves. They all slept in the lounge, Aubrey and Beca top and tailing on the large sofa and Molly curled up on the arm chair.
Beca was actually first to wake up on Christmas, and it seemed all the girls had had the same idea over night, there was now a small pile of presents piled around the room, clearly everyone had woken up in the night and got them out ready for the morning. Beca laughed, she loved these girls.
'WAKE UP BITCHES ITS CHRISTMAS.' Beca screamed at the top of her lungs causing both girls to jerk up from their sleep instantly.
'Wow, Aubrey your death glare is almost as Scary as Beca's.' Molly laughed. Aubrey rolled her eyes and sat up properly.
'Looks like Santa visited.' Aubrey laughed.
The girls all jumped off the sofa and grabbed the small pile of presents, giving them out accordingly to the labels and started ripping the paper off. Aubrey had given Beca a makeup set, which was a little to glittery for Beca's taste but she figured it would be good for days like today where they were meant to be glammed up. Molly had given Beca a pair of jeggins and a glittery black top, again not to Beca's normal taste but she could see herself wearing it. The presents their parents had left for them included matching jewellery for the two girls and some tattoo concealer from Sheila.
Beca had given the girls both hair accessories and a bottle of wine each, considering they were still under 18 that came in helpful and was greatly appreciated.
Beca let the girls get her ready for the day, they dressed her in the cloths Molly had bought her and Aubrey did her hair and makeup using the new kit she had given her. The girls straightened Beca's hair which was weird, Beca never had enough patience to straighten it but Beca couldn't deny it looked really nice. She had the same amount of eyeliner as usual this time it just had some glitter over the black. Beca felt incredibly festive. When the other girls dressed incredibly similar to each other they took a photo and posted it facebook in the new album 'Orphans Christmas.' The photo was great and Beca decided that she would put it as her profile picture, sorry Jesse, but the current photo of you giving Beca a piggy back was getting old and this one was better.
Chloe and Amy arrived first and gave the girls their presents. They had even gotten Molly a necklace which Beca thought was sweet, she wanted the group to include Molly today as Beca was pretty sure that although she hadn't said anything, Molly was upset her mother still hadn't spoken to her since the tattoo incident, she hadn't even called to wish a merry Christmas. Amy and Chloe gave Beca their presents together, apparently they bought them together so they matched. Beca knew right away this was no way going to be a present she was going to enjoy but put a smile on as she opened the boxes anyway.
One box contained a set of handcuffs, and the other a corset. 'You bitches!' Beca laughed.
'We figured you and Jesse are probably out of the honeymoon stage now so you should you know, make things more interesting.' Chloe giggled.
'Yeah I mean, I mean you have sex a lot as it is, but I seem to be hearing less of it through the walls when I'm over Bumpers so I got this because I care about you.' Amy added, a deadly serious expression on her face.
'Dude, shut up! My sister is over there!' Beca whisper-yelled at them.
'She probably hears all of the sex through the walls too.' Amy shrugged.
'Shut up.' Beca groaned.
Jesse and Bumper arrived about half an hour later. Amy tackled bumper to the ground extremely close to taking Jesse and Beca down with them. Once they had recovered and went to join the others in the lounge, Jesse took Beca's hand and led her into the kitchen.
'We're going the wrong way nerd.'
'I wanted to see you first before we get dragged into the festivities'
'Maybe I don't want to see you.'
'Please Beca, no one could resist this face.' Jesse got a punch on the chest for that one and Beca got picked up and placed onto the kitchen counter for that.
'You've literally been here two minutes and you're already pushing me against the counter.' Beca teased.
'Shut up, I have a present for you.'
'You should have started with that, gimmi gimmi gimmi' Beca held out her hands like an excited child. Jesse placed a badly wrapped parcel into the palm of her hand.
She smiled at Jesse before she unwrapped it, inside were two new charms for her bracelet, this time a Christmas tree and another heart. Beca attached them right away and looked up to Jesse before pulling him into a kiss.
'OI BITCHES, STOP FACE SUCKING AND COME AND JOIN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, YOU HAVE TIME FOR THE SEX LATER, WITH ALL THE NEW GIFTS TO HELP YOU!' Amy screamed through the hall.
'What gifts?' Jesse questioned as Beca gestured beside her to the boxes the girls had given her. Jesse went red before laughing, as he went to speak Beca stopped him.
'No.'
'Why?'
'Because I know they bought them for me so it makes it weird.'
'If I get you your own can we?'
'Still no.'
'But Becaaaaaaaaaaaaa.'
'Shut up' Beca gave his pouting lips a little peck before jumping down and walking into the lounge.
