You stood outside your bus stop half frozen to death by the chilling cold air surrounding you plus the snow. Cars drove by, you would have counted them to pass the time you were that bored but no. Any minute now, the bus should be here. Any minute now. Your phone buzzed indicating you got a notification and at the worst possible time, the bloody bus was cancelled. You groaned loudly and called your roommate Olivia to come and pick you up which she didn't mind doing at all as she was there pretty quickly. Your face lit up as you saw the oh so familiar car of your boyfriend pull up but to say you were disappointed when he wasn't in the car was a bit of an understatement. "Nice car. Wonder where you got it." You teased climbing in and dropping your bag at your feet. "Funny as usual. Well since Marcus isn't going to be here for Christmas-" That still stung. "I figured he wouldn't mind if we used it."

"We can't use his car without his permission!" You told her. "And why is that?" Your head spun around and shot her a look. "Because it's kind of stealing isn't it?" All Olivia could do was shrug her shoulders and continue driving but you were sort of angry and sad at the same time. This would be the first Christmas you and Marcus had been seperate since you started dating a few years ago and it hurt, you were willing to admit that. The drive home was short enough and you noticed a few Christmas lights sparkling in the window of your apartment. "Please don't tell me you started decorating without me." You said a bit disappointed. "Okay, okay. Guilty as charged but I have a surprise for you." You weren't up for surprises. You just wanted one thing and that was Marcus. "Oh yeah? Let's go then." You said as enthusiastically as you possibly could (which wasn't all that enthusiastic might I add.) and walked up the steps to your apartment. Olivia took her phone out and began recording so now you were very suspicious. "If you dressed up baby jesus as a transformer again Olivia-" She chuckled lightly and shook her head. "No. I didnt this time. I just want to capture your reaction to the Christmas decorations." So they were going to be whacky since she was recording.

"Okay, open the door." She said standing back and letting you go first. You rolled your eyes playfully and pushed the door through. To be fair, she did a good job decorating but it seemed like the usual stuff you had up for Christmas nothing special about it. "Tada! What do you think?" She asked you. You looked around looking for something strange but couldn't find anything out of place. "I like it, now where is the weird part? If you're recording, there's a catch." Olivia shook her head but kept a dopey grin on her face. "Not saying a word. Go look for yourself." First, you ventured off into the kitchen and couldn't find anything at all. An Advent calendar half eaten- "Olivia! My Advent calendar! What the hell?" Olivia jumped at the sudden raised voice. "I wasn't able to get to the shops today. Can you blame me? Now hurry up and look for this supposed 'catch'." Nothing in the kitchen, nothing in the bathroom or hall. All that was left was your room and the living room.

You wandered into your bedroom and saw a wrapped up gift of some sorts. You looked back at Olivia who was still grinning and you didn't trust her one bit. Opening up the little card on the front you already recognised the writing.

Merry Christmas bubs,
Sorry I couldn't make it this year but I hope this will at least make you smile a little bit
xxx Marcus

You tore the paper slowly and saw a tablet. Was je really going to give you a random object and hope it covers for him? "Well turn it on." Olivia interrupted. Your finger pressed the on button and up came a video of Marcus smiling with a Santa hat and ukulele in hand. "Hi, I'm Marcus and I'm going to be singing Féliz Navidad to prove to my girlfriend that I can in fact sing." You chuckled to yourself and listened to him singing the song as terribly as he could. It felt like he was actually there with you. It was amazing. The song ended and he chuckled to himself. "Love you bubs. I'll miss you." and there went the waterworks. You let lose and began sobbing to yourself. Olivia didn't stop recording as she knew what else was still in store so she offered you a tissue to wipe your tears away. "Why are we still recording? Is there more?" You asked. Olivia nodded and smiled softly at you. "Okay, whatever it is can we hurry this up because I really want to call Marcus."

Olivia led you to the living room and showed you the decorations around it. You didn't know what on earth was planned but when it was pointed out to you that he had pieces of paper hanging on the tree with cute messages on them, your heart melted yet again. With your phone in hand, you turned it on and went to Marcus' contact. Olivia thought you were just taking a picture but by the time she realised what was happening, it was too late. "What are you doing?" She asked. "I'm calling Marcus." You replied. "No wait! Stop-" she was cut off by a ringtone coming from behind the door. You were about to ask what it was when Marcus picked up. "Tell Olivia she is fired." Your lips tugged into a smile as you turned around to see Marcus standing with a bouquet of flowers in his hand and the phone next to his ear. "She had one job and she completely failed." He chuckled.

You didn't even bother letting go of the phone, you just ran to Marcus and lept up into his arms, letting the tears fall down your cheeks. "I missed you so much!" You cried. Marcus played with you hair while turning around slowly and just indulging in this moment. "I missed you too bubs." He replied. "So are we going to continue crying or can I get a kiss?" You laughed and looked at him. That was the only invitation you needed so you leaned in and shared a kiss with him, making both of you smile. The moment was unfortunately cut short by Marcus falling backwards but the fall was broken by an armchair. You squealed with the sudden dropping feeling but it soon turned into a laughing fit after you realised you were okay. You ended up on Marcus' lap on the armchair but this loving moment was unfortunately cut short . "Steady on! Just forget I'm here and recording! Oh my goodness what would baby jesus think?"

"We weren't gonna do anything!"
"Well maybe you weren't but-"
"Marcus!"
