Why me?

Jakes POV
I wake up to Erika shaking me

J- what

I go in my side and pull the blankets up to my neck

E- it's Christmas let's go
J- 20 minutes
E- please
J- what time is it
E- 8
J- too early

My eyes start to drift off to sleep.

20 minutes later

I get woken up again from Erika shaking me.

E- Jake it's been 20 minutes
J- fine

I turn over on my back and stretch. I pull the covers off of me and I see the dumb Christmas pjs that Erika made us wear. I get up and Erika grabs my hand. She brings us down into the the living room. I sit with my back against the couch next to the tree. Erika comes down and sits in between my legs with her back in my chest

J- do you want to open first
E- no you

She pulls my girls towards me and I grab the small box. I hear paws and Archie comes running in. I rip open the box and it reveals cologne. Then I grab another box and open that. I pair of old skool vans and there are two boxes left. I grab one box and open it. Two pairs of black nike shorts and a shirt. I grab the other box and rip the paper off.

J- rik why
E- just look inside

I open the Gucci box and a hoodie is in there. I put everything to the side and Erika turns around and gives me a hug.

J- thank you babe

She squeezes me and I drop my hands to the side of her thighs. She stays on my lap and I bring her gifts to her. She opens them and the three boxes were stuff that she wanted. The little box she opens and it's a little neckless. She holds it in her hands and puts her head in my neck.

J- babe
E- thank you Jake
J- no problem

She holds my face

E- you didn't have to
J- I know

I really haven't been at erikas much. I would go to school and then go straight to the diner after for a long time. The door bell rings and Erika looks behind us. The door opens and we see her parents walk in.

E- did you know
J- maybe

She gets up and gives them a hug.

An- we cut things short to be here

I get up and lean against the wall. Then Charles walks in.

C- Jake looking good
J- shut up *smiles*

Erika talks to her parents and I walk into the kitchen with Charles.

J- it's been a while
C- did you miss my cooking?
J- I did

As Charles is talking to me something hits me. This is my first Christmas with out my mom. This really sucks.

J- Charles I need a sec I'll Be back

I head upstairs and sit in the edge of erikas bed. The memories come back and I get sad. Tears start to fill my eyes and all I can think of is her.

E- Jake

I wipe my eyes with my sleeves and I feel her presence in front of me.

E- are you okay
J- yea

She grabs my face and her face goes from happy to sad.

E- what's up
J- nothing

She wipes my tears with her thumbs and takes a step into my legs.

E- you just realized, huh?
J- *sighs* yeah
E- you have me okay?

I nod and put my hands on her waist.

E- apparently-
J- *smiles* apparently
E- *smiles* we are having a party today
J- fun more jokes
E- I'm sorry
J- it's fine I honestly don't care
D- sorry guys but it would help if you get changed out of...those and get changed into something nice

The door shuts and we both look at each other again

E- *smiles* how bout we go shower

I connect my lips to hers and slide off the bed. I walk backwards and bring us into the bathroom. I pick her up and put her on the counter. I quickly turn the water on and I put my hands on her thighs. Her arms wrap around my neck and she pulls me closer. I slip my shirt off and help Erika with hers. I move my lips to her neck and I slide her off the counter. Both of our things come off and I drag us into the shower. The water hits me as I backup into it. I grab the side of her face and I put my hand just above her butt. She runs her fingers down my abs.

Erikas pov
I make my way downstairs and go find Jake. I find him in the living room talking to tanner. I grab Jakes hand

E- tanner
T- Costell
An- erika?
E- yeah
An- come.
T- ooo
An-Oh and you too tanner
E- ooo

He shakes his head and smiles. I slowly let go of Jakes hand as we walk away

T- do you know what it is
E- no someone probably opened a new company or something nothing new
T- I hate when they do. they are so petty and shit
E- I hear you

We go into the kitchen and and see someone we have never seen before

E- why is he low key cute I can say that right
T- I don't know
E- just don't tell Jake
An- this is Marcus he's a family friend and will be going to your school in the new year

I smile and then leave out of no where to go find Jake. I see him sitting with Archie on the couch. I sit beside him and give Archie a belly rub. He walks over to my lap and lays down.

J- dude he loves you

I kiss Jakes cheek and move closer.

E- he loves you too
T- thanks erika you just left me
E- *smiles* no problem
