2 Days Later, Christmas Day

Randy picked me up and he looked so handsome in his black dress pants and black silk shirt. He whistled when he saw the white dress I was wearing and said gI am one lucky man. You look beautiful Rowan.h

I kissed his cheek and said gThank you. You look handsome.h

gI try.h

I laughed and squeezed his hand before he drove down the street.

When we got to his apartment I gasped. Their was a giant tree where the stripper pole was supposed to be and the tree was covered in white lights and ornaments. There were white lights around the windows and white candles lite all over the room along with white and red poinsettia plants. I turned to Randy and he said gI wanted this to be special for you and I know you love white, so I figured this was a good way to go.h

gIt is,h I told him gRandy thank you.h

gAnything for you.h

I put my gift bag under the tree, then stepped back to look at it. I felt Randy's arm around me, then looked up to see mistletoe over my head. I laughed and spun around in his ams, gently kissing him. He pulled me closer to him, deepening the kiss slightly. When we pulled apart he whispered gDinner is waiting. We can continue this later.h

I shivered and nodded as he pulled away, holding my hand and leading me into the dining room, which looked just as beautiful as the living room. I sat down as he pulled the lids off of everything. gWe're having roasted chicken with extra buttery mashed potatoes, just the way you like them along with freshly baked French bread, sparkling cider and for dessert a triple layer vanilla cake with white icing.h

gOh wow,h I breathed gIt all sounds so good.h

He sat down next to me and said gDig in and enjoy.h

After dinner and dessert we went back into the living room and sat in front of the tree. Randy handed me a box and said gOpen this one first.h

I opened the box and pulled off the lid and pulled out my first gift. It was a white leather jacket. I looked at Randy who smirked and said gI know u don't wear black and I wanted you to have one for when we go out riding on the motorcycle.h

gPlease tell me you didn't buy me a motorcycle tooh I joked.

He laughed and said gYou'll get one of those on our second Christmas together.h

I smiled and my heart felt so warm at hearing him saying that. I set the jacket back in the box and said gI love it. Thank you.h

gDon't thank me yet,h he told me gThere's more.h

He handed me another box and I opened it. Inside was a photo album and a digital camera. I looked up at him and he just shrugged. gI was feeling sentimental when I bought them.h

gI love them,h I told him gIt's perfect.h

gWell there's one more. Give me the camera cause I want a photo of your face when you see this one.h

I handed him the camera as he handed me a smaller box. I opened it and inside was another box, a black velvet box. I looked at him and said gRandy is this-h

gJust open ith he told me.

I opened it and gasped. Inside was a a gold charm bracelet. It had a motorcycle charm, a book charm, a medical cross charm, and a heart that had the day we first met engraved on it. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes, unable to say a word.

He put the camera down and said gThat picture I just took says everything.h

gRandy I-h

He took the bracelet out of the box and put it around my wrist. gThe motorcycle represents how quickly things have happened between us. The book is because you love to read and study so much. The medical cross is because you'll be a doctor one day. And the heart is to represent the day we met.h

I looked at him, tears pouring down my face. He wiped them away and said gI know it's a lot for our first Christmas together, but I wanted it to be special because I know you've never spent Christmas with a boyfriend and-h

I cut him off with a kiss, holding him close. We sank back onto the floor, holding each other close. When we pulled apart he said gWith each new thing that happens I'll buy you a new charm and it can tell a story.h

gRandy I love it,h I whispered gI just wasn't expecting you to be so romantic already.h

gI just wanted this to be special for you.h

gI know and I appreciate it.h

We sat up and I said gI didn't get you anything nearly as expensive as you got me and-h

He put a finger on my lips and said gI'm not worried about the cost.h

I nodded and handed him the box with my picture in it. He opened it and pulled it out, staring at the photo. gIt's gorgeous,h he told me gYou're gorgeous. And I like how you signed it with a little note.h

gI got it taken specifically for youh I told him.

gI'm putting this by my bed so every morning I'll wake up and see you next to me.h

I handed him my next gift and he opened it, pulling out the envelope inside. Looking a little confused he opened it and pulled out the slip of paper inside. gThis slip of paper grants you a one night stay with Miss Rowan Kendrick at any place of your choosing. Good to use anytime.h

He looked at me and I said gRead the back of it.h

He turned it over and read it. He looked at me and said gTonight sounds perfect to me.h

I smiled. gGood,h I told him gNow the last gift is something very different from the other two.h

gWhat do you mean?h he asked.

gI have to show you.h

His eyes widened. gRowan-h

I stood up and grabbed the bag. gI'll be right back.h

Going into the bathroom I took off my dress and underwear and put on the swimsuit I had bought. It was a white monokini, showing more skin then I normally do, even when wearing a swimsuit. I looked myself over, making sure everything looked right. When I decided it did I pulled my towel out and wrapped it around myself before going back out to Randy. When I came out his eyes widened. gRowan-h he began.

I shook my head and dropped the towel, revealing my monokini. His jaw dropped and his eyes widened even more. gWe've never been in the hot tub together, so I figured we could go in it tonighth I told him.

He came over to me and I could tell that he was at a lose for words. I looked up at him and said gGo put on your trunks and I'll met you there.h

He nodded before going into the bedroom. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it back around me, shivering slightly.

It scares me when he gets silent like that, it really does.

I don't know if I just crossed a line or if I did something right or something wrong.

c.. I'm nervous now.

So the gifts have been given, the reactions have been reacted... expect for this.

Think Rowan made a mistake? Did something good?

What do you think is going through Randy's mind?

You'll find out in the next chapter!
