Chapter eighty-five: "Hide"

Christmas morning, I'm supposed to be excited...
But why the hell do I feel so drained at that fact?

Is it because of Cloud's entire family?
Nah, it's more likely due to the fact I have to face Theo again. That bitch ass son of a punk will not ruin my Christmas

There I lay on my bed with my eyes glued to the ceiling and feet of snow outside that we just shoveled last night
Goddamn it now we have to shovel the pathway again

Should I start getting ready?
Maybe I should, after all, this is my and Cloud's first Christmas together as a couple

Last year we didn't get to spend Christmas together since I was at the seaside and Cloud was called to celebrate Christmas with his side of the family

A light knock was heard on my glass window, there Cloud sat at the extra space on my window sill waiting to be let in
Luckily I brushed my teeth before hopping back to my lazy mode

A huge smile formed on my face before hurrying on my feet to open the window or else he might catch a cold

"Hello m'lady" he winked at me when stepping in, I helped him brush off some snow on him because there was snow that fell from the branches of the tree

Cloud was very excited to see me that he pulled me close by the waist and we kissed lovingly in front of the opened window where the cold breeze got into my bedroom
Not that I mind though because I was dressed very warmly these season than the usual night dress that I wear to bed

One arm was around his neck and my other hand is laid rested on his chest which was warm and feeling his slow heartbeat was amazing. He pulled away from our kiss and started to pepper my face with more kisses that I giggle because it tickled me a little

After kissing my temple last I greeted him 

"Merry Christmas Cloud"

Cloud hugged me tightly "Merry Christmas Angel". We swayed together slowly as we enjoy the mix of the cold air and the warm sunshine coming through the glass window

My sharp ears went up when I heard footsteps coming near to my door
Oh shit

"Cloud I think you should hide" I whisper in his ear in a hurry before trying to hide him in my closet

My boyfriend just let me push him into the small walk-in closet "I don't think it's that big of a deal though, it's Christmas Angel. What is he gonna do?" he asked while looking at some of my clothes in the place

"The moment Dad finds out that there is a boy in my room regardless if it's my boyfriend or not, he will give you either the kick-out broom or a long embarrassing lecture about not listening"

I take that warning very seriously because Brie once invited a guy friend over to play board games with her in her room without Dad's permission and the poor boy got a kick out broom

If anybody wonders what a kick-out broom is, it is a method where Dad deals with boys in a nonviolent way. He holds a broom and proceeded to push the boy out of the house like cleaning dirt off the floor

But if the boys get too determined to stay then that's where Dad uses the method of scolding which is effective, I witnessed that when one of Caramia's admirers went into her room and didn't wanna get out until Dad shamed him about his habits and importance of personal space

If it goes any further by using brutes then we get to see cops pretty soon because Dad's not the type to get his hands dirty unless necessary

The doorknob started turning so I turned to Cloud a made a shush pose before closing the closet door and pretending to be on my phone in bed
