CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

P . O . V AUTHOR

Three days had passed and Christmas dinner had finally arrived at the Beckermann mansion. Alice, Tom and Luna are preparing for the supper which this year would be attended by Luis and his godson Matteo. This was causing a lot of confusion in everyone's mind.

Luna was overjoyed with Matteo, he had won her heart in just a few days.

Tom and Alice were super nervous, afraid that Alexandra would tell Luna and Luis what she knew. This was driving us crazy. Little did they know what that Christmas night awaited them.

Arriving at the mansion, Luna rushes into the house hugging her Godmother Annie and her Grandma Martha who had just arrived as well. They all hug and end up entering the house together being greeted by a smiling and anxious teenager. Matteo was looking forward to his first Christmas dinner in a long time. For him it had always been very monotonous just him his mother and his father languishing in bed. Now he had many people around him.

Lunna - I brought presents for you, but you can only open them after midnight.

Matteo - I also have a gift for you, but if I can't open it you can't open it either

Alexandra - Why don't you put them in your stocking by the fireplace? Come on dear, come in, will you stay at the door?

Martha - Ale my dear, every day more beautiful, your house is beautiful...

Alexandra - My friend is being kind. Shall we all go to the living room? The children should already be there.

Tom - I brought you some wine, your favorite

Alexandra - How kind my dear, you and Alice are looking so beautiful. Oh, and you too, Annie, aren't you Tom?

Tom - Of course, Annie is always so pretty - Annie gets bored

Annie - Don't exaggerate, where is Luis?!

Louis - here my fairy - coming down the stairs - I missed you?

Annie - you? Always! - Annie - going to find the hug

Luis - who sees thinks we were not together a few hours ago, is not it? - Hugging and then brushes his nose - and there, ready for change?

Annie - with a pout - no, but I have to go

Tom - Jealous - Do you need to or are you going to run away?

Alice - Repreends - Tom, changes are really scary, my friend, but everything will be fine. But if it doesn't, we'll be here waiting for you. But I am sure that everything will be alright, you deserve it.

Luis - I have to agree with Pettit

Tom - Jealousy - Pettit? Since when do you call my wife Pettit?

Luis - Jealous Tom? Relax man, we're just friends, not Pettit, just like Annie and me. - Pulling Annie into his arms

Alice - I'm not your friend, just a co-worker and if I'm relaxed at work is only for professionalism and respect for your mother at no time gave the freedom to call me Pettit. For you it is Maria Alice

Martha - dear, why are you treating Luís like this? And you Tom? Why so jealous? I know you are a little jealous, but not that much.

Annie: Auntie, don't worry, these people here are all stressed out, this is all because I'm going away. What will Tom and Alice's life be without me, tell me?

Martha - And what about this old woman? Do you think she won't miss you? More clearly, who cares about me? But that doesn't justify treating Luis like this

Alexandra - Really dear, but Alice and I have already talked about it, and Tom can rest assured. You don't need all this jealousy, it's not my son - scolding her son and Alice at the same time

Luis - debauched - Of course, Mom, there's no need for all this jealousy, Tom. I won't do anything with Pettit. Ah ops pardon Alice, at least nothing she doesn't want to - smiles sarcastically

For Luís it was amusing to see how Tom and Alice stressed him out

Alexandra - well how about some appetizers? - Not funny

Annie - Great, I'm starving, until midnight it will be a long time, I don't know why you and my aunt don't let us eat before midnight? only the children. I miss being a child at these times.

Luis - Are you sure? Children can't drink this wonderful wine that your cousin brought, nor enjoy the evening in other ways," smiles mischievously.

Tom - Hey, more respect to my stud cousin, she is not just anyone to talk like that

Annie - Relax Tom, I don't need you to protect me and Luis and I have already done everything and then some, or have you forgotten that we are dating?

Luna and Matteo appears

Luna - What? Godmother, did you or Uncle Luis date?

Annie: Yes, when we were your age. Uncle Luis was my first boyfriend

Matteo - and are you friends?

Luis - why not? It is not because it did not work out as a couple of boyfriends that we cannot be a couple of friends? I love Annie very much, but as a friend, let's say a sister I never had

Annie - own baby I also love you like a brother. How were we able to confuse feelings?
