It's now one and we are resting after our Christmas lunch.

"I don't think I could be any more full" I groan

"Me too, I think I might pass out" Leo says

"I told you not to eat that last Yorkshire pudding" Emma says

"Shut up, I have no regrets" Leo says and Lizzie giggles

I got given a chocolate bar. A chocolate far as my Christmas present from Leo.

I got some clothes from Emma, jewellery from grandma, a new computer from mum and dad, then an slush puppy maker from Lizzie which I'm really happy with, I won't lie.

We finished lunch half an hour ago and I'm still hungry.

"I might go for a walk" i say

"I'll come with you, it's going to take me years to burn off this dinner. Might as well start now" Alex says and i smile

We walk into the hallway and he hands me my coat, "thank you"

We walk out of the house and i breath in the cold fresh air.

"It's not fair, if get the cold if it's snowing. But it's not" Alex says and i chuckle

"Welcome to England" i say

We walk around the house to the back garden and we start to walk uphill.

"Where exactly are we going?" He asks me

"Well, when I was younger I built a little... a little home for myself" i say

"What?" He asks confused

"It's like a little pod, my grandad actually helped me build it" i say with a sad smile and he take my hand

"I bet he's really proud of you" he says

"I hope he is" i say

"I have a question" he says

"Go on then" I say

"Ryan asked me to bring him back some strawberry laces from tesco, something about three for one" he says and i chuckle

"We'll bring some back for him" i say

"Good cause he attacked me, and threatened to hug me if I didn't bring any back and I'm not comfortable with that" he says and i laugh

They love each other really.

"What time is it?" I ask him

"Three" he says

"Mum and dad will be doing the speech now" i say

"Isn't it weird to think about how it will be you making that speech next year" he says

Yes.

With a husband.

I smile, "yeah it's going to be so weird"

"You okay?" He asks me

"Yeah why?" I ask

"You just went weird for a second" he says

"Oh I'm fine, I just zoned out for a few seconds" i say and he nods

We turn a corner and we see my little pod i built.

"Here!" I say smiling

"It's tiny" he says

"I built it when I was ten, give me a break" i say and he smiles

I put my hand on the pad and it opens up.

"Wait what did I just see?" He asks me

"It's so no one else can get in without me" i say

"That is so cool" he says and i chuckle pulling him inside

I look around at the familiar green room, a double bed in the middle and a massive whiteboard on the wall from where I used to write songs and a guitar in the corner.

"What's on the whiteboard?" He asks me

"I used to think I could write songs" i say with a chuckle

"That dream died when my cousin told me I was tone deaf" i say he laughs

He sits down on the bed and I look around.

"I used to spend all my time in here" i say

"I don't blame you this bed is really comfy" he says and i laugh

I sit down next to him, "so I've got your Christmas present"

"You didn't have to get me anything" I say

"I wanted to" he says and i smile

He hands me a long box wrapped neatly, "god your a good wrapper"

He laughs, "just open it"

I rip the paper off and open it to see a gorgeous silver necklace.

"I didn't really know what to get you, so I thought I'd get you a necklace. And I know it's not all your your fancy royal jewell-"

I hug him, " I love it thank you"

"It's alright" he says hugging me back and I pull away from him

"Will you help me put it on?" I ask and he nods

I hand him the necklace and I move my hair out of the way and I ignore the tingles I get when he grazes my neck slightly with his hands.

"Done" he says and i turn around

"How do I look" I ask before looking up at him

"Beautiful" he says and i blush looking away slightly

He brings his hand up to the side of my face and I look at him. He kisses me and grip the sides of his coat.

He pulls away from me, "will you be my girlfriend?"

I smile and bite my lip, "yes"

He kisses me and I wrap my arms around his neck and his arms move to my lower back and pulls me towards him.
