Although people get up earlier than is considered healthy on Christmas, they don't go to bed early? I'm starting to think that this holiday is more of a detriment to anyone and everyone's help than anything else.
Unfortunately, we were still gathered in the main room watching some Christmas movie or whatever. I've yet to have been told the reason Demeber 25th is such a popular day.
I'd given up on trying to watch the movie a few minutes after it had started. Now I'm trying not to fall asleep to Niall's heartbeat. Speaking of Niall, he's been acting nervous and weird ever since he'd eaten, but I'm not blaming the food...
Finally, the, I must say, horrible, movie ended. Johanna woke Daisy and Phoebe, who'd fallen asleep during the movie, and told them to go to bed, to which they obliged immediately and without question. Louis dragged Lottie off to bed, going himself after her. Johanna and Mark stayed a little longer, but left soon enough. I glanced at the clock. 11:45 PM. Christmas was almost over. Niall shifted.
"Cassie?"
I sat up, trying to blink the tiredness out of my eyes. It didn't work very well. I pinched myself to keep awake, stifling a gasp when my fingernails broke the skin; Niall didn't notice.
Still confused about his being so nervous and fidgety, my mind drifted back to yesterday morning, and how adamant he was about... Wait...
I groaned. "Please don't tell me you actually got me a Christmas gift. I think I've endured enough of those for one day." Niall laughed, but it sounded forced. I frowned. "Did you seriously get me a Christmas gift?"
He smiled, nervously. "Of course I did. Why wouldn't I have? I told you I would, didn't I?"
"Unfortunately, yes, you did tell me that."
He took a deep breath before going on. "Okay, I know how much you hate cliché things-" I never told him that. "-so I didn't wrap it or anything... Uh..."
I felt the cold seep into my hand when Niall dropped a small, icy blue bracelet into my hand. It was simple, fortunately not cliché. There were two delicate silver strands with small sections coated in blue. Simple, but I like simple, and Niall knows that.
I guess I was staring at the bracelet for too long; Niall began to talk. "If you don't like it I can get you something else even though I know you said you didn't want anything for Christmas I had to get you something anyway because-"
"Niall."
He looked up at me.
I smiled. "I didn't want a gift," His face fell. "But I like this. It's blue." I said simply. He grinned before leaning over and kissing me.
