Fergal set a box down in the middle of a much larger living room than the one he previously had. "This is the last one." He said. "We can tell Greg he can leave with the U Haul."

"Great! No we get to go through all the fun of opening all f them seeing what goes where." Amanda said sarcastically.

"Well it would be a little easier if you had let me label them."

Amanda knelt down to open the box he had just placed in the living room. "Now where would the fun in that be?" She smiled as she opened the box. "Christmas decorations."

They had just moved into a new apartment together. It was around the same area they were already living, but a little bit nicer and bigger. It didn't really make much sense for them to both be paying a decent amount of rent and living next door to each other. So they actually saved some money by moving into a two bedroom together. The second bedroom would be set up as Amanda's sewing and design office for now. So when the lease was up on her apartment, she packed everything up and stuck it in storage for a month or so and moved in with him until his was up and during that time they searched for something for the both of them. Her career had started to take off and she was bringing in more money than she had previously. She was by no means a famous designer at this point, but she had worked with a few of Fergals co-workers and worked with some local projects, so she was getting her feet off the ground.

After the third box was opened and it turned out to be another box of decorations, Fergal couldn't hold in his joking criticism anymore. "How many boxes of Christmas decorations do you have?"

"Hey! That one was Halloween!" She explained pointing to an opened box behind her.

"Still, some plates or blankets or something would be nice. You know, things we actually need." He said as she stood up. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and she placed her hands on top of his. "Besides, we won't even need these this year." She smiled.

This year she was flying back to Ireland with him to spend Christmas with his family. She had met his parents once or twice when they were in town, but never really spent a whole lot of tie with them. And that was the only part of his family that she had met.

"Do you think your sister will like me?" Amanda asked nervously. He knew how close they were and how they thought of each other, that was the one person she was actually afraid of meeting.

"Let's hope so. She's even more critical than you."

He chuckled as she pushed him away from her. He knew she was nervous so he decided to take advantage of that and be an ass. "I'm sure she'll love you." He said going back over to her for a hug. "I've already been telling her about you since we met. I think you two will get along just fine."

"Well that might end up being bad for you. You'll have two of us."

He thought for a moment. "On second thought, maybe we better stay here for Christmas."

"Oh no, we're going."

"And let all these decorations go to waste?" She looked up at him and shot him a glare that he knew meant 'shut up' without her having to say it.. "Okay, fine. But if you don't find anything other than decorations I'm eating pizza off of your christmas dishes!"

"Do it and I hurt you. I love them more than I love you." She said to him. She then kissed him on his nose and went back to opening up some boxes.

He just smiled and went into the other room and pulled out his phone to order some dinner.

"Hello, I'd like to place an order for delivery please...no that's my old address I just moved...yeah that's right. Can I get a large pepperoni and a two liter of whatever diet soda you have? Thanks. And I know this might sound kind of weird, but can you shape the pepperoni into a heart?...Thanks a lot. I know my girlfriend will get a kick out of that." He smiled.

Thank you to all who read and left feedback! I hope you liked it! Listening to his theme song one day just made this story pop into my head and I just decided to run with it!
