Promised You Heaven

Chapter 20-Christmas: Part 1

Josh's POV

I was laying in bed when I started to hear music play softly.  I kept my eyes closed, assuming that Rhiannon had just put something on while she got ready for the day like she always did.  I smiled when I felt her climbing back into the bed.  She straddled my lap and kissed my lips, once she pulled away I rubbed my eyes,

"Good morning lover" She said, and as I finally opened my eyes my breath hitched.  She was wearing the powder blue lingerie I had gotten her.  Her red hair was draped down her shoulders as she grinned down at me, "Merry Christmas."

"Don't move." I said as I stretched to grab my polaroid camera off the nightstand. "May I?" I asked motioning to it.  She nodded her head and blushed slightly.  I pulled the camera up and looked through the viewfinder, "Am I still asleep? Cause you look like a dream," I said,  She threw her head back laughing and I snapped the picture.  I quickly placed the camera back on the nightstand, I was excited to see the masterpiece I had taken, but it could wait.    I turned back to her and she leaned down to kiss me passionately.  I suddenly heard footsteps outside of the door and before I could even react it was opening.  I quickly grabbed a pillow and used it to shield Rhiannon.

"Oh shit sorry, I thought you were both asleep, I just need a condom" Sam said as he walked over to my nightstand and pulled the drawer open, grabbing out the silver package. 

"You didn't hear the music, or bother, I don't know, KNOCKING." I said, Rhiannon was just giggling at how annoyed I was,

"Sorry, sorry, it was an emergency" He said as he slipped out of the room, I threw the pillow at him as he shut the door.

"Was it like that growing up too?" She asked as pushed some curls from my face,

"Yes, now where were we." I said as I sat up and started kissing at her neck. 

"Goodmorning!" I heard as the door swung open again, I groaned and fell backwards onto the mattress, "Why is this pillow on the floor?" Kenzi asked as she nonchalantly walked over and placed it on the bed and sat on the edge,

"Good morning Kenzi" Rhiannon giggled,

"Wow you look amazing in blue!" Kenzi replied as she looked at Rhiannon,

"Kenzi.  What. do. you. want." I said now even more annoyed,

"Well all of us girls are going out to brunch so I wanted to invite Rhiannon." She said clearly unbothered by my tone

"I'd love to go, when are we leaving?" Rhiannon asked, still perched on my lap

"About 20 minutes so we can make the reservation time" She said as she walked out of the room, "We are all meeting downstairs so we can ride together." 

"I guess we will just have to pick back up with this later." Rhiannon said as she put her hands on my chest to get up.  I quickly grabbed her and flipped so that I was on top, "Josh!" She squealed

"I am not letting you leave this bed until you promise to put that back on for me later." I said as I smirked at her,

"Come on Josh I gotta get ready" She said as she tried to wiggle free.  I wrapped my arms around her tighter and started to playfully cover her face in kisses until she relented

"Ok, Ok! I promise!" She giggled as she tried to push me away, "I will put it back on later."

"Alright, I guess I'll let you go then," I sighed as I rolled off of her, placing one more kiss on her lips as she got up.  As she got up and started getting dressed I admired her for a moment before deciding I would get up and get dressed as well.  I got dressed and walked over to the nightstand to get my phone.  I saw the polaroid that had printed laying next to it.  I picked it up and felt the corner of my mouth curl up in a smile.  The sunlight was peaking in just enough that it illuminted her in a soft light in the photo, her head was tilted back slightly as she laughed, a genuine emotion caught on film.   Her curls cascaded over her shoulders with a couple a strands in her face.  I would treasure this picture forever, I loved her so much.  Suddenly I felt her arms wrap around my waist as she peeked over my shoulder,
