The next morning I woke up in Colin's bed. I don't even know how we got there, but what I do know is that we had a great time. Colin lay beside me in his boxershorts with his hair all messy. Even that was sexy on him.

The only thing I remember is that we played truth or dare and that we were soon cuddling naked. I loved cuddling but cuddling with him was wonderful. His muscled arms are firmly around me, his stubble rubbing against my face and his wonderful smell in my nose. A wonderful start to our holiday in Ireland.

A sleeping Colin is the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my life. His face completely relaxed, messy hair and his mouth slightly open. I stroked his hairline, smoothing his hair from his face and kissed his forehead. His eyes opened slowly.

'Goodmorning beautiful' he said softly. His hangover was probably just as big as mine. Traveling, fatigue and alcohol aren't exactly the best friends.

'Goodmorning' I replied. I felt butterflies flutter through my stomach.

He pulled me close to him. 'Did you sleep well?' he asked.

I nodded. I always slept well when he was lying next to me. His warmth beside me made me feel safe.

We stared at the ceiling for a while. My head was on his chest and I felt him slowly breathe out. His heartbeat sounded like a melody.

'What do you want to do today?' he asked to break the silence.

I turned around so I lay on my stomach and could look at him. 'Shall we buy and decorate a Christmas tree?' I enthusiastically suggested. I loved Christmas trees and fairylights, but he didn't have anything in his house.

He laughed. 'Her first day in Ireland and Mrs Morrison wants to decorate a Christmas tree'

I shrugged my shoulders. 'I can also decorate you with balls and lights'

'As you know, I already have balls' he said laughing

I let my hand slide over his boxershorts. 'Is that so?'

'Maybe you should check it out' he moaned

'Perhaps'. I let my hand slide into his boxershorts and felt. 'Yes, you're right!' I said as I pulled my hand out of it.

'Hey! That's so mean!' he said disappointed.

'You know me!' I pressed a kiss on his mouth and left the bed.

Two hours later we were hunting for a Christmas tree. Of course we were very late and everyone had one for a long time. We only had the choice between little ones or immense ones. I suggested to choose a small one, but Colin bought the big one.

'You're crazy!'

'About you' he said as he wrapped his arm around me. 'If you are happy with a Christmas tree, we will not buy a small one. You deserve the biggest one out there'

He looked at the Christmas tree and raised his eyebrow. 'It isn't this one, but the biggest one I could find'

I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck. 'You're the sweetest!' And I meant it. He was the sweetest man I knew.

Once back in his house, he took out a big box of Christmas decorations. 'I thought you never had a Christmas tree here?'

He nodded. 'Normally I don't, but when I was still together with...' he paused for a moment.

'You know who... I always had a Christmas tree'

'Do you miss her?' I asked sharply. I knew it was his first Christmas without her and I also knew how painful that could be.
