Behind Closed Doors

I opened my eyes slowly staring up at my ceiling I  pouted when I didn't feel Onika next to me.

Then again it was Christmas eve—and I knew she was downstairs helping my mom. I reached for my phone and checked the time and I got out of bed immediately realizing it was well into the afternoon.

I looked at the foot of our bed and saw a little note. "Hey i think ur gonna wake up kinda late because you sleep for really long but here are some Pjs after you take your shower :)" Topped with a little smiley face.

I knew it was written by her and I knew these pajamas were probably silly but if she wanted me too—I sure as hell was going to wear it.

I took a quick shower and I was really changing from pajamas to just more Christmas like pajamas. I looked down at the set and sighed.

She really had jokes huh?

It was a onesie, a one with a bunch of giraffes in Christmas hats. How she found this? I have no idea. I put it on regardless and smiled when I opened my bedroom door.

I heard the classic Christmas playlist playing and Mariah Carey for the 3rd time in the last 4 days. I walked down the stairs and heard a variety of noises.

I peeked into the living room to see Onikas Aunt and her farther arguing about who won the last round of Uno.

"No no—we wasn't playing stacking!" I watched Robert say.

"Since when? None of y'all motherfuckers care about the rules of Uno unless someone wins! I swear I saw Kelly over there hide 4 of her cars under her ass!" She said pointing to Kelly who had her hands up.

"You snitch—I mean—false accusations!" She said and Robyn shoved Kelly to reveal 6 cards that were indeed under Kelly's ass.

"This is assault! Bey come on help me!" Kelly yelled and I slowly backed away minding my own bussiness.

I walked into the kitchen to see Onika sitting on the counter talking to my mother. She had a worried expression on her face.

"Honey?" I asked and she perked up.She looked up at me in surprise and smiled. My mother turned around and her and Onika shared a look before my mother walked past me.

I walked over and placed my hands on her sides looking up at her. "You okay? What were you two talking about?" I asked and she just shook her head smiling. "Nothing important—you sleep really long." She said and I remembers why she was smiling so hard.

"How'd you even find a onesie like this?" I asked and she laughed. "I had to special order it—it takes hard work to make fun of you." She said with her hand on her hips.

"Ha.Ha. Did I miss breakfast?" I asked and she nodded. "Aubrey and my dad ate all the bacon but I saved you 5 slices. The pancakes were a lost cause when Michelle woke up though." She said and I should've known she'd beat me to the food.

"Hungry assess—you know your aunt is eating them up in there because of a Uno game?" I asked as she hopped off the counter and she laughed a little.

"Yeah I could hear—theyve been at it for like 5 hours—you do realize it's 4pm right? Your mother and I were prepping for dinner tonight. And Aubrey's been complaining about food for the past 4 hours." She complained.

"Easy—let him starve." I shrugged and she laughed shaking her head. "I don't think I can do that."

"How about—you chill? From what I can see you've been in the kitchen like all day. I know my family is planning to play abunch of games right before dinner but how about we have some alone time before then?" I whispered and she giggled.
