Another Love | C.C

•Ch.49•

It was Christmas Day. Yesterday was filled with family board games, Christmas films and a buffet for dinner that Stacey had prepared. Ava was having an amazing time in Canada with Crawford's family, they always made her feel welcomed and she couldn't feel more grateful.

The couple were awoken by Crawford's alarm going off. 8:30am. His mom insisted everyone was up and ready by 10am for presents and breakfast so waking up at 8:30 gave them both enough time to wake up, cuddle, shower, get dressed and for Ava to do her makeup.

Ava rolled over to face Crawford and fluttered her eyes open. A smile swept across his face as he stared at her. He brushed a piece of hair behind her ear and pecked her lips.

"Merry Christmas baby" he told her.

"Merry Christmas" she beamed back at him.

His smile remained on his face as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him so they could cuddle.

"I can't believe this is our third Christmas together" he told her, sighing as he stared at the ceiling.

"I know right" she smiled, resting her head on his chest.

"This year has been a roller coaster..." he laughed lightly, earning a laugh from Ava also.

"Sure has been" she agreed.

"But it worked out in the long run..." he told her. She nodded and remained silent, thinking of all of the good times they had had together.

"And 2020 is gonna bring so much more for us" he told her.

"I can't wait" she grinned, leaning up to give him a peck on the cheek before rolling out of bed.

"I'm having a shower!" She chimes, grabbing her clothes and a towel before disappearing into the bathroom for her shower.

Whilst Ava showered, Crawford scrolled through his phone and made sure to tweet a Merry Christmas out to his fans. It wasn't long before Ava was back and dressed with her hair wrapped in a towel.

Crawford took that as his cue to leave the room and shower whilst Ava blow dried her hair and straightened it.

By the time Ava had finished her hair, Crawford came back into the room, showered and fully clothed. They had around 45 minutes before they had to be downstairs so Ava started her makeup whilst Crawford simply sat on the bed, scrolling through his phone.

They made small talk and jammed out to some Christmas music in the mean time and Ava finished with 5 minutes to spare. With this spare time, they quickly took some selfies and both chose a silly one of themselves to upload to their instagrams, both using the caption 'Merry Christmas from us!❤️'

They headed downstairs to see the living room was scattered in Christmas presents and his family were all in the kitchen.

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone chimed at them as they entered the room.

"Merry Christmas" they both said in sync to his family, greeting them all with hugs.

Stacey has prepared another buffet sort of thing for breakfast and it left the kitchen smelling amazing. They all gathered at the table and ate their breakfasts together whilst Christmas music played softly in the background. They exchanged small talk amongst themselves whilst eating and after a while, they soon headed for the living room, ready for the presents.

On one sofa sat Crawford's parents and on the other sat Crawford and Ava. Karisma, Kirsten and Chris chose to sit on the floor and were the ones who distributed the presents under the tree.

With Christmas music still playing, they swapped all their presents with one another.

From Crawford's parents, Ava had received a £50 voucher for Sephora and some of her favourite chocolates. From Chris she had received a new personalised designed case for her AirPods and a new eyeshadow palette. From Karisma she had received a new pair of earrings from Tiffany Co and some chocolates and from Kirsten she had received a new Louis Vuitton bag. It's safe to say she was spoilt very much by his family.

Crawford and Ava intended on swapping presents with one another upstairs after they were finished in the living room and after all of the thank you's were exchanged, that's exactly what they did.

They were sat on Crawford's bed and he handed her a medium sized gift bag. Ava smiled and thanked him before opening the gift bag to find three presents inside.

The first present she unwrapped was a t-shirt stating 'I 🖤 Disney'

"I thought it would be something cute to wear for Disneyland" Crawford chuckled, noticing how excited Ava had become over the shirt.

"Oh my gosh YES! I love it!" She squealed folding it back up and placing it beside her.

She then pulled out a long box and discovered it to be a new rose gold watch, one she had been wanting for a while now.

And finally her last present was in a small box. She opened up the box to see a key. A car key to be specific.

"What is this?" She questioned her boyfriend in confusion.

"You're new car. It's not here, it's back home in LA, but, I have a few pictures of it to show you" he told her, pulling out his phone to show her her new white Range Rover.

"No fricken way! That's so expensive! CRAWFORD!" She screeched, throwing her hands over her mouth in shock, not believing he bought such a thing for her.

He laughed and hugged her as she buried her head into his neck.

"I know how much you've wanted to drive since you moved here but struggled to do so, so I wanted to help. A year of insurance is covered also" he told her. He wasn't wrong, Ava had passed her test when she was 17 back in London but never bought a new car when she moved to LA so hasn't driven since.

"I can't believe this, thank you so much" she told her boyfriend, hugging him once again.

"It's okay. You're gonna need refresher lessons though" he laughed. Ava laughed, knowing he was right, but she didn't care. She was so excited and couldn't believe he had done this for her. Crawford was a big car person but she never expected him to buy one for her. Especially a Range Rover. Her dream car.

"Well, my presents for you aren't anything as amazing as that but, here you go" she said handing him his gift bag.

She had bought him some of his favourite chocolates, some new T-shirts, and some new trainers which were worth around $300.

"I love them, thanks babe" he grinned at her, giving her a soft kiss on the lips.

The day had already kicked off to a great start, and they still had so much more of the day to come.

A/N: I'm back! Trying my best to keep consistent now but please still be patient! Feeling a lot better already which is a good sign! Thank you again for all the kind messages x
