Okay, this chapter is going to be about Sheamus and Alicia Fox(Sheamicia). I honestly can't remember where I got the idea for these two from, but for some reason I like the idea of them together. I think it would be really interesting. This one like the previous chapter didn't completely turn out the way I wanted, but I still hope you guys enjoy it.
I apologize for any and all grammatical errors or mistakes in characterization.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the storyline
Alicia sat in the cab watching the city pass her by. She was so tired after her long flight, but it was all worth it because she was going to be spending Christmas with Sheamus. She had missed him terribly since his injury had made him take time off. She still couldn't believe that he had gotten injured again. It wasn't that long ago that he had come back from an injury and now he was injured again.
Alicia had been surprised, but happy when she had been able to get a flight to Ireland so close to Christmas. Sheamus had insisted that she spend Christmas with her family, but she wanted to be with him during the holidays. She had actually arranged a little pre-Christmas celebration with her family so that she could spend some time with them before she had to get back on the road. Everyone had understood and was just happy to see her.
"Here we are," the cab driver announced as the car pulled to a stop in front of a brick building. Alicia paid the driver before grabbing her bags and heading towards the building. She had packed light because she didn't want Sheamus to carry any of her bags. She pulled her phone out and quickly dialed his number.
"Hey, love," Sheamus greeted her after the second ring, "How's yer flight going?"
"It was good," Alicia answered.
"Was?" Sheamus questioned, "What do you mean 'was'? Aren't ya still on the plane?"
"Actually, no," she answered, "I'm actually standing in front of your building. Can you let me in?"
"What?" Sheamus cried as he looked out his window and saw Alicia standing down below with her luggage beside her.
"Hi," she said into her phone as she waved up at him, "Now, can you let me in because I'm really cold."
"I'll be right down," he told her.
"No, you don't have to-" she tried to tell him, but was cut off by him hanging up on her. She glared at her phone before glaring at the door waiting for him. A minute later, he appeared at the door, propping it open so that he could help Alicia.
"I've got it," Alicia told him as she carried her bags into the building. Sheamus shut the door and followed her. He tried to take one of her bags, but Alicia was not having any of that.
"Come on, 'Licia, let me carry one of yer bags," he sighed.
"No," Alicia said as she entered the elevator.
"Stop being stubborn and give me a bag," he demanded which made Alicia's glare fiercer.
"First of all, no, you're not getting a bag so stop asking. Second of all, don't ever hang up on me, got it?" Alicia growled.
"Yes ma'am," Sheamus replied with a fake salute which made Alicia crack a smile that she quickly removed from her face.
"Was that a smile?" he inquired as the elevator stopped on his floor.
"Nope," Alicia stated as she headed to his door, "Please, open the door?"
"Only if ya ask nicely?" Sheamus said as he leaned against the door with his arms crossed.
"I did," Alicia argued.
"No, ya didn't," Sheamus countered. Alicia looked at him confused before understanding crossed her face. She leaned forward and placed a kiss on his lips.
"Will you please open the door before I punch you?" Alicia whispered against his lips in a sickly sweet voice. Sheamus chuckled before doing as she asked. Alicia walked in and gasped at the sight before her. Sheamus' apartment looked like a Winter Wonderland and she let her bags fall to the floor as she wondered around feeling like a little kid with how giddy and excited she felt. Sheamus stood behind her watching with amusement. He knew how much Alicia loved Christmas and how she always decorated every inch of her place in Christmas decorations. So, with a little help he had decided to make his place look like what he was sure Alicia's looked like back at her apartment. Alicia was still in awe of the room when she felt Sheamus wrap his arms around her waist.
"Well, what do ya think?" Sheamus whispered.
"I think that it looks beautiful," Alicia said as she turned to face him, "Did you do this for me?"
"Yes," he answered. Alicia leaned forward and kissed him.
"Thank you," Alicia said as she pulled away to look at everything a little more closely.
OoOoOo
Alicia collapsed onto the couch feeling so full. Sheamus and her had just gotten back from dinner at his parents house and Alicia couldn't remember the last time she had eaten that much food.
"Full?" Sheamus teased since he was used to eating that much food. His mother always made a lot of food and made sure everyone left her house full.
"Yes," Alicia groaned. Sheamus laughed at her words before sitting down next to her. The two sat there just relaxing after the feast.
"I'm sorry, yer not with yer family on Christmas," Alicia heard Sheamus whisper. Alicia sighed because she knew it had been bugging Sheamus that she wasn't with her family.
"I told you, I already celebrated Christmas with them and they understood that I wanted to spend Christmas with you," Alicia explained, "So can you please stop fretting over this and just be happy that I'm here with you?"
"I know, but I can't help that it bugs me," Sheamus admitted. Sheamus knew how much Alicia's family meant to her and he just wasn't convinced that she was okay being away from them.
"Why is this bugging you so much?" Alicia asked hoping that if she knew the problem that she'd be able to fix it and make him feel better.
"You've always talked about how being with yer family on Christmas was the most important thing to you and now; here you are with me on Christmas instead of being with them. I know you say ya already celebrated with them and that yer fine not being with them, but I just can't believe that yer okay being away from 'em," Sheamus explained. Alicia took in his words and she did have to admit that it did feel weird not being with her family, but she wasn't as upset as she usually would be because she was with Sheamus. Alicia leaned forward and kissed him. Sheamus didn't respond at first thinking that she was just trying to distract him, but that thought quickly left his mind as he responded to the kiss. Alicia pulled back slightly and waited for him to open his eyes before she spoke.
"I do miss my family, but I would miss you more. Since you got injured again, I have seen my family a lot more than I have seen you. Sure, I would have been happy to be with my family, but I would have been sad because I wasn't with you. Missing one Christmas with my family is not the worst thing in the world and like I told you I got to exchange gifts and spend time with them for two whole days before I flew here. I know you feel bad, but I swear to you, you have nothing to feel sorry for," Alicia expressed how she felt and hoped that Sheamus understood. He knew she was being honest and while he was still bothered he understood how much it meant to her to be with him.
"I get it, I guess I just feel like I'm making you choose between yer family and me," Sheamus admitted.
"I have never felt like you're making me choose between you and my family," Alicia assured him, "Do you think you could try to move past this so that we can have a happy Christmas together?" Sheamus sighed as he leaned his forehead against Alicia's. It still bothered him and he wouldn't deny that, but Alicia was right that it had been awhile since they spent time together and letting this ruin their Christmas together wasn't worth it.
"Okay," he agreed. Alicia smiled softly knowing that he was still bothered, but was willing to forget until after Christmas at least. She placed a kiss on his forehead, his cheeks, and then finally his lips. Sheamus pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss. He had missed being with Alicia and was happy to have her here with him. The pair spent the rest of the night just lying in each other's arms enjoying the time they had with each other.
So, I feel like this one was a bit short and I apologize for that. I've been trying to make these as long as I can, but sometimes the idea I come up with is pretty simple so there's not much to write. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this and please leave me a review of your thoughts on this chapter.
