CC's POV
"Merry Christmas CC!"
I opened my eyes slightly as I saw my band mates, Ashley, Jake, Jinxx and Andy by my bed.
"Guys, what time is it?" I asked groggily.
"Um, 4am" Andy replied.
I frowned.
"You fucking assholes I said don't come walking into my room until 6am!" I yelled.
"But CC, we couldn't wait any longer" Ashley whined as he sat on me.
"Alright alright, I'll get up!" I roared.
Ashley hopped off me and I swung myself out of bed. I stood up and yawned a little. The guys stared at me and I raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked.
"Get some pants on, no time for boxers" Jinxx ordered.
"Yes Mamma Jinxx" I retorted.
"Mamma Jinxx!" Andy cried.
Jinxx frowned and sighed.
"Mamma Jinxx!" Andy screamed.
"What?" Jinxx replied.
"Let's go down stairs" Andy whined.
I laughed as the boys left my room except Ashley and I looked over at him. He looked back at me and I saw a blush spread across his face. Who am I kidding, my feelings for Ashley are at an all time high. He's so caring, sweet and loving. But I didn't have the guts to tell him how I felt, I'm a big wimp.
"CC" Ashley spoke.
"Yeah buddy?" I answered.
"Can I talk to you about something?" he asked.
"Can it wait, I really want to get downstairs" I replied, searching around my room for clothes.
"Oh...uh, yeah sure" Ashley whispered as he left the room.
I sighed, I should have just let him speak. I found a pair of jeans and slipped them on and then fixed my hair a little as I made my way downstairs. The guys were all sitting in a circle and there was a spot beside Ashley so I sat there.
"Who first?" Jake asked.
"Me!" I yelled.
Andy stood up as he walked to the tree and picked up a present. It was great living in a house with the guys, we had so many fun times. Andy handed me the present and smiled.
"This ones from me" he replied.
I smiled as I opened it and I saw a dog leash and a collar. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Andy.
"Andy, I'm not into bondage, are you crazy?" I chuckled.
"It's not for you stupid, it's for him" Andy said, pointing to the dining area.
I saw Jake standing there with a pug puppy in his arms and my eyes lit up as I screamed and ran up to Jake.
"Andy you shouldn't have!" I exclaimed.
Jake handed me the little puppy and I cradled him in my arms. He was so beautiful. I've always wanted a pug. Tears started to well up in my eyes and Andy hugged me.
"Merry Christmas buddy" he whispered.
"Thank you Andy" I choked.
We sat back down as I held my new puppy and patted him as he slept. I don't even know what I will name him. Jake stood up next and picked up a small present that was sitting near the front. He walked over to Jinxx and Jinxx smiled.
"This is for you" Jake mused.
Before Jinxx could take it from him, Jake unwrapped it slightly and then I saw him get down on his knee and I gasped.
"Jinxx, will you marry me?" Jake asked.
Jinxx started to sob as he nodded his head.
"Yes!" he cried.
Andy, Ashley and I cheered as Jake slipped the ring on Jinxx's finger and they hugged each other tight. I'm glad they're happy, they've been dating for so long. I wish Ashley and I had that.
"Who now?" Ashley questioned.
I stood up as I handed the puppy to Andy and then I walked to the tree and picked up a present that was addressed to Ashley. I walked over to him and gave it to him.
"Merry Christmas" I said with a smile.
Ashley grinned as he opened the present slowly and he gasped. Inside was a custom made vest that I ordered up for him a few months in advance. It had
OUTLAW on the back with a skull and some patterns around it. The shoulders had little studs on them and on the front pocket it said AP.
"I love it" he issued, standing up.
Ashley hugged me tightly.
"Thank you" he mumbled.
"You're welcome" I replied.
Ashley smiled and I felt his lips graze my cheek as he kissed it softly and I tried to hide the blush spreading on my face. Dammit Ashley, I think I'm in love with you.
Ashley's POV
"Lunch is ready!" Jinxx called.
I sat up as I held CC's unnamed puppy in my arms and patted him. CC had went off to help Jinxx in the kitchen so I sat in the room with Jake and Andy.
"So Ashley how do you want to do this?" Jake asked.
"I suggest we say that it's tradition for two people to kiss under the mistletoe and we get Jinxx and Jake to do it and then we will dare you and CC" Andy suggested.
I nodded as I blushed a little.
"You'll be fine" Jake assured.
I nodded as I put the puppy down in his bed and I stood up.
"Guys! Lunch!" Jinxx yelled.
"Yes mamma Jinxx!" Andy called.
"Call me mamma Jinxx one more time and I'll slap you with this spatula" Jinxx warned.
Andy sneered.
"Mamma Ji-ow!" he cried as Jinxx slapped him on the forehead with the spatula.
CC, Jake and I started howling with laughter as we sat down at the table. I sat between CC and Andy and Jinxx and Jake sat on the other side.
"Dig in" CC issued.
We all grabbed plates as we started to plate up some food. It smelt good. I sighed a little as I started to eat my food. I hope everything goes to plan later.
*time lapse four hours*
"Lunch was great" I mused as we all sat back down in the lounge. It was getting near dusk now so it was getting darker.
Andy walked out of his room with a smirk.
"What have you got Andy?" CC questioned.
Andy held up five Santa hats and I snorted as he handed them to us and we put them on. CC looked so adorable in his.
"Ho ho ho" I spoke.
"Ba humbug" Jinxx muttered with a pout.
"Aw my little humbug!" Jake squealed.
I raised an eyebrow as Jake pinched his cheeks and I smirked. I wish I had that...with CC.
"You know what else I've got" Andy chuckled.
I looked back at him and he held up a mistletoe over his head and made kissing sounds. CC laughed as he stood up and kissed Andy on the cheek.
"Oh CC" Andy giggled in a feminine way and I fell on my back laughing.
"Jake, Jinxx! Mistletoe!" I yelled.
Andy walked over to them and held it over them. CC sat down beside me as we watched. Jake and Jinxx smirked as they looked at me and I blushed, hiding it.
"I love you" Jinxx cooed.
"I love you too" Jake whispered.
They kissed each other softly and the room erupted in aw's. They pulled away and then Andy grinned as he stood over CC and I with the mistletoe.
"Now kiss" Jinxx mused, making a gesture with his hands.
CC looked at me then back at Andy.
"But..." he spoke.
"Nope, no buts, we dare you" Andy snickered.
I looked at CC as he moved closer and so did I, our lips were inches apart and I made the move. Our lips connected and I felt sparks explode in my stomach. But it was short lived as CC pulled away and stood up quickly.
"I...sorry" he whispered, walking out to the balcony, grabbing his jumper on the way.
I sat there stunned as Andy knelt down beside me.
"Go speak to him Ashley, be honest with him" Andy issued.
I stood up as I grabbed my jacket and shrugged it on as I opened the door to the balcony. The snow was falling lightly as it blanketed the ground below and the trees. I saw CC leaning on the edge of it, his back towards me.
"CC?" I asked.
CC turned around as he looked at me, tears streaming down his face. I walked over to him and stood closely to him. The moon lit up his beautiful features.
"CC what's wrong?" I questioned.
"I'm sorry for what happened Ashley, I was just scared" he whispered.
"About what?" I continued.
CC bit his lip as he looked up at me, snow getting caught in his hair.
"Rejecting me" he sighed.
I pushed some hair out of his face and rested my hand on his cheek and jaw.
"I could never reject someone as gorgeous as you CC" I answered.
CC looked at me and gasped as tears sat on the edge of his bottom eyelids. I wiped them away as I moved closer, wrapping my free arm around CC, our lips inches apart, his warm breath against mine. I pressed my lips to his, and this time he didn't hesitate to pull away. CC kissed me back deeper and I pulled him closer, our lips moving in sync. We pulled away for air and I gazed into his eyes, rubbing his cheek.
"I love you CC" I whispered.
CC smiled as he laced his hand through mine.
"I love you too" he replied.
I smiled as I held his hand tighter and pulled him back into the house. Jinxx, Jake and Andy were standing there with mischievous faces.
"Wait...you set us up! You bastardo's!" CC yelled.
"Andy suddenly Italian" I laughed.
"Shush, or I'll get mamma Jinxx onto you" CC grumbled cheekily.
I saw Andy smirk again.
"Mamma Jinxx!!!" Andy screamed in Jinxx's ear.
"That does it!" Jinxx exclaimed as he chased Andy around the house.
Jake, CC and I laughed hysterically as we watched the hilarity unfold. What a great night. Once upon a Christmas...I fell in love with my soulmate.
