The only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear.
Chapter thirty three
Charlotte's P.O.V
Christmas eve went surprisingly well. We had a big dinner, watched a few classic Christmas movies including 'The nightmare before Christmas', Mike and Taylor got really close during the movies, Frank came back with pink lipstick on his cheek, Gerard cuddled me and did adorable shit, Ray went out to take a phone call for his new girl and I felt extremely nervous for what was to come of today. It's Christmas.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Somebody shouted while jumping on my bed. Gerard groaned and pulled me closer to him. I squinted my eyes and looked up. Frank. "WAKE UP!" He shouted once more. "Frankie baby, could you please... like not" I groaned. "C'mon guys! It's Christmas!" He chimed. "Yeah. We know. Let us sleep" Gerard sighed. "Stop spooning and get up!" Frank jumped off the bed and folded his arms. I ignored him and snuggled into Gerard's arms. "THAT'S IT!" Frank crawled onto the bed and pushed us off. I squealed while falling off, landing on top of Gerard. "Why..." The body underneath me pouted.
"Get up!" Frank dived on top of us. "Fuck! Frank! Get off of me!" I shoved at his shoulders. "Only if you promise to get up" He smirked. "FINE! GET OFF" I frowned. He slid off of me and stood up gracefully. I got up after him and bent down to help my poor boyfriend. "Come on sugar" I pulled him up and he sighed. "If we ever get a divorce, you're keeping him" Gerard groaned. I bursted into laughed and flicked his forehead. "No way cutie, you're keeping him" I smiled. "Why can't I choose?" Frank asked. "Because you suck" Gerard and I said in synchronization. We both grinned at our jinxed words while Frank pouted.
"Well... I'm having a shower" I announced. "Can I be your plus one?" Gerard wiggled his eyebrows while grabbing onto my waist. "Anytime you want sweet cheeks" I winked while kissing him gently on the lips. "Ew. Mum. Dad. Stop, please" Frank placed his tattooed hands over his eyes. "Get out of here son" Gerard chuckled. "Mum and Dad need some time alone" I bit my lip and giggled. "EW! EW! EW!" Frank ran out of the room, closing the door behind him.

"Are you sure your mum will like me?" I asked. Gerard was blow drying my hair, a towel was loosely wrapped around his hips. I looked at him in the mirror and he looked back. "Of course! She'll love you!" He confirmed, his bright eyes sparkled. "I hope so" I mumbled. "I'm worried about your dad! I hope he doesn't think I'm awful" He combed my hair back. "My dad will absolutely adore you" I grinned. "I hope so" He murmured, copying me.
"Done! Do me" He handed me the blow dryer and comb. I smiled and combed his hair while drying it. "I'm a big fan of your dad's band" Gerard blurted out. I grinned and stopped brushing his hair back. "Really?" I gushed. "Yeah... I listened to his band all through high school" He blushed. "Does that mean I'm going to be seeing you fangirl?" I asked. "Possibly" He sheepishly smiled. I nodded my head and continued brushing his hair.
"Done!" I turned the dryer off and placed it some where to cool off. "What are you wearing?" I asked as I walked out of our bathroom. "Um... this" He went to the wardrobe and pulled a cat jumper out. "No way!" I gasped. "Yes way!" He nodded. "Mr. Way!" My eyes widened. "Mrs. Way!" He giggled. "I'm just kidding! I want to dress to impress!" He sassed while placing the cat jumper back into the walk-in wardrobe. "Well. I'm going to get dressed anyway" I grabbed the dress that I bought a few days ago. "Wait! What colour?" He asked. "White" I smirked.
***
I stepped out of the bathroom and saw Gerard waiting on the bed. He was in a white button up shirt, a red bow tie and a pair of black skinny jeans. He had his favourite pair of white converse on too. I smiled and he looked up at me. "Woah..." He looked me up and down. My dress was white along with the high heels I wore with it. My hair was curled and tied around it was a white rose hair band. I wore Frank's locket, Gerard and Mikey's rings and Ray's bracelet. I blushed and smoothed my dress down. "Do you like it?" I asked. "Like it? Baby, I love it" He stood up and came closer to me. "Spin around?" He asked.
I grinned and spun around on the spot. "Breath taking" He whispered. "Thank you Mr. handsome" I blushed brighter as I straightened his bow tie. "You look absolutely adorable" I complimented him and he winked. "Being adorable is my specialty" He joked. I shook my head and laughed quietly. "Are you guys ready? Frank is getting way too hyperactive downstairs" Ray poked his head into the room, looking at us with hopeful eyes. "He's going insane" Mikey pushed the door open. "Alright. Come on then" Gerard grabbed my hand and walked out the door. "Let's open some presents already!" Frank bounced up and down. "Why are you so excited? You're never this excited for Christmas" I commented as I sat down.
"He drank a lot of coffee this morning" Taylor sighed as she walked in from the kitchen. "That explains it" I rolled my eyes. "Okay! Who is first?" Frank picked up a thin but wide box. "This is for you Charlotte" He handed it to me and I smiled. "Gerard, here you go" Frank chucked a present to him and he caught it. "Mikes! Uh- this says Jacob! RAY! Ooh! Me!" Frank gave out all the presents. My present was a black jumper that read 'Purrvana'. It was from Mike. I blew him a kiss and he winked.
***
I hugged all of the guys. They bought me outstanding gifts. I feel really spoilt. Gerard bought me a new acoustic guitar, a sketch book and art supplies. Ray gave me a Canon 5D Mark II camera. Jacob gave me a new pair of Red Beats by Dre headphones, Frank got me a pair of skeleton handcuffs with rings, and Mikey bought me the 'Purrvana' jumper and acoustic guitar ear plugs (Stretchers).
I smiled when they opened my gifts for them. I got Gerard an iPad (Even though I have to teach him on how to use it) and the first original copy of Batman framed (Bennie helped out with that one), I got Frank a limited edition Vinyl collection of Misfit albums that were signed, I bought Mikey a new sparkly bass guitar, Ray got a new laptop since he complained about his old one and a sweet denim jacket that I thought would suit him. Then I bought Jacob a PS4 with a couple of games to play.
I looked at Taylor and gasped. Shit. I excused myself before going into my office. "There has to be something here that I can give her" I shuffled through a few sketch books. That's when it hit me. That sketch book from high school, the one that she always admired. I went through a couple of draws until I found it. It was a dark brown leather covered book. A million drawings filled with many emotions were scribbled into the pages of this very book. I smiled and flicked through it. I had to admit that most of the drawings in this book were my best. I tied a red ribbon around it and picked a black pen up, folding a piece of paper in two and making it into a card. I doodled a cartoonist version of superman on the front before sticky taping it to the book. "Done" I held the book tight in my grip as I walked back down the stairs.
"Taylor! Merry Christmas" I handed her the book as I stood in front of her. Her eyes went wide and she blushed. "I couldn't possibly take that!" She gushed. "Take it! You've always wanted it in high school. Go on! Have it" I smirked. "Really?" She whispered. "Really" She got up and hugged me. "Thank you!" She grinned. "No problem" I smiled while hugging her back.
