We all walk into the living room, there are presents all under the tree.
Kevin says, "Oh, just so you know. I came in here and put all the presents under the tree last night." I then remember I feel asleep on the couch last night.
I ask, "Wait, I slept in here last night. How did I end up in Sarah's room."
Howie smiles and says, "I guess Santa carried you in there." I smile back, knowing he's the one who brought me in there. We all settle down near the tree, and start to open presents. I get a big stuffed 'Tigger' from Howie, a silver lava lamp with blue lava from Brian, a pair of 'Highway' Skechers boots from Kevin, and a pair of roller blades from Nick.
Sarah gets a pair of 'Tommy' sunglasses from AJ, corduroy shirt from Kevin, a big stuffed 'Pooh Bear' from Howie, and a pair of roller blades from Nick. After we are all done unwrapping presents from the guys, Sarah and I get our presents for our men out. Sarah hands Brian a big box, as he hands her a box. Brian opens the box to see Tommy Hilfiger Jeans.
He smiles really big and says, "Thank you so much. I was wanting a pair of these."
Sarah smiles and says, "Well that's not all, look in the pocket." Brian digs around in the pockets and finds a little box. He slowly opens it, and sees a gold ring with 'B&S' on the top of it.
Sarah puts it on Brian's right ring finger as he says, "Oh, this is so nice. Thank you sweetie." Then Sarah starts to open her present, it's a small box, but good things come in small packages. She opens it and sees a gold heart necklace. The pendant is in the shape of a heart and is totally filled with diamonds.
"Oh my gosh, Brian. It's so beautiful. This must have cost so much, I just can't believe..." Sarah stutters looking at the necklace. They hug and kiss each other. Then I give AJ two boxes. He opens the bigger one first. As he rips the wrapping-paper off, he sees that it's a thick book.
"What's this?" He asks intrigued.
"Why don't you look at the title silly?" I say. AJ looks at it and sees it's a book with many of Shakespeare's works.
"Thanks Love, you know just what to get me." AJ says giving me a hug.
"Open the other present." I say. AJ takes the paper off of the other and opens up the box. Inside is a silver ID bracelet with 'Alexander' written on it. He looks on the underside of it to see the inscription 'My Lips Can Only Sing When They Cannot Kiss You.'
AJ pulls me closer to him and says, "Even
though I love to hear you sing, I think I'll let your lips kiss me."
Then he kisses me. AJ stands up
and starts to walk into the back of the kitchen. I start to get up,
but Kevin pushes me down.
AJ says from behind me, "OK, close your eyes."
I snap, "What? No way man."
AJ says, "Come on just do it." I close my eyes as I hear AJ walk past me. I sit there for a few minutes and then I feel something lick my leg.
"What the...?" I say as I open my eyes. There on the floor infront of me is a little Golden Retriever puppy with a big red ribbon around it's neck.
"Oh AJ! It's so cute, oh my gosh!" I yell as I pick up the puppy.
"So what are you going to name him?" AJ asks putting his arm around me.
"Hmm...how about...Alex." I say smiling.
Everyone laughs and starts talking and
playing with Alex. Sarah and I stand up, pick up all the wrapping
paper, and throw it in the trash. When we come back into the living
room, I reach down to take the ribbon off of Alex's neck when I realize
there's a diamond ring attached to it.
I take the ring off of the ribbon and
ask AJ, "What's this for?"
AJ take the ring from my hand and gets
down on one knee.
