"It's okay." I said, looking at the mess they made. I think I will have to call the housekeeper tomorrow to help me arrange the living room again. Or maybe Flynn could help me with it too. I didn't want to bother the housekeeper, because she also had a family she want to spent christmas with.

"The tree is already set up. Have a very nice evening Mr. and Mrs. Vasilios." The other bulky men with caterpillar eyebrows said and motioned at the others that they were done.

"Thank you, Rob." Flynn gave the bulky men with the muscles, who I assume is the boss of the other two, a handshake and he escorted them outside. When he came back into the living room he held a huge box in his hands.

"What is that?" I asked curious.

"Decorations for the tree." He said and placed the box on the table. I walked over to him to see what kind of decorations was in the box. There were all kinds of ornaments, garlands, bears, stars, reindeers, etcetera.

"Did you buy these?" I asked, taking out a beautiful reindeer out of the box.

"No, mom gave this to us."

Flynn's mom was so nice. When I moved in with Flynn she gave us so many stuff for the house. Luckily she did, because most part of the house was empty and the curtains in the living room didn't match the furniture.

Flynn stood up to turn on the radio and put the heater on high. Outside it was snowing heavily and even with the heater so high, it was still a little chilly inside.

The voice of Bruno Mars filled the room. Versace on the floor was playing on the radio and I remembered how I used to jam on this song in the bathroom. It was my favorite song. Reina always yelled at me that she was sick of hearing this song.

🎶Let's take our time tonight, girl

Above us all the stars are watchin' 🎶

I started to softly sing along as I got the decorations out of the box. I was so excited to start decorating the tree.

🎶 There's no place I'd rather be in this world

Your eyes are where I'm lost in🎶

I didn't realize Flynn was watching me intently all the time until I felt his warm breath fanning my neck.

"I didn't know you were a singer." He whispered, kissing my shoulders.

"Bathroom singer." I chuckled and turned around to place a garland around his neck. His pretty blue eyes shone so brightly under the light of the chandelier in the living room.

🎶 So, baby, let's just turn down the lights and close the door

Ooh, I love that dress, but you won't need it anymore 🎶

We rocked back and forth as he kept looking in my eyes while I was softly singing along. He knew that his eyes were my weakness. He just had to stare at me intently and I would immediately give in to him.

🎶 No, you won't need it no more

Let's just kiss 'til we're naked, baby🎶

Flynn licked his lips as I sang that part and smirked. "I'm so ready pudding."

"It's just a song Vasilios." I replied and laughed as I felt his grip on my waist tighten.

"A song with a very very naughty meaning."

His hand traveled down towards my butt and he gently squeezed it. A typical Vasilios thing to do. His dad was the same. He always secretly squeezed his mom's bum and in return she gave him a scowl.

🎶Versace on the floor

Ooh, take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl 🎶

"You don't wear versace, but I would mind seeing tommy hilfiger on the floor." he said teasingly, referring to my tommy hilfiger shirt.

I laughed loudly and placed my head on his shoulder as we danced on the rhythm of the song. It felt so good to be like this. The warmth of his body and his aftershave got me lost in the moment.

And at this moment I realized how much I actually love him.

How much I had missed this...him in the past six years.

It's scary how much I love him yet my love for him would never fade out. Instead every day it grows and becomes stronger.

He's my soulmate.

And maybe we haven't met in a fairy tale kind of way, but then again this is real life and in real life you have to create your own fairy tale.

I felt a soft kiss pressed on top of my head and I instantly melted.

He sure knows how to bring me to cloud nine and back.

Suddenly a burning smell filled the living room, followed by the sound of the screeching fire alarm.

My eyes grew wide and a bunch of curse words left my mouth.

I instantly let go of Flynn and ran to the kitchen. Black smoke came out of the oven.

Shit. Shit. I totally forgot the lasagna!

Flynn Vasilios P.O.V

I tried to fixed my bow tie as I walked into the bedroom where Jill was changing. When I entered the room my eyes almost fell out of there sockets.

My pudding look like an angel.

She stood in front of the mirror, applying mascara to her lashes. The dress she was wearing accentuated her curves and brought out her pretty blue-green eyes. She looked so pretty I don't think i'll be able to take my eyes off her tonight.

"You look gorgeous." I walked up to her and place a kiss on her temple. She still felt like a dream to me. I can't believe I have her in my arms after so many years and I'm definitely not planning on letting her go.

Not now.

Not ever.

"Thanks Vasilios, you look handsome too." She turned around and placed a kiss on my lips. She then giggled and wiped the lipstick stain off my lips. "Mmh, I see you wore the outfit I picked out for you."

I smiled and looked down at my outfit.It was a white cotton shirt with blue vest and jeans. "Of course, You're my girlfriend soon to be wife. I should obey you."

Her eyes widened and her smile turned into a scowl. "Don't make jokes like that."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Soon to be wife. It feels like you're proposing." She turned around and reapplied her lipstick.

"What if I'm not." I watch her reaction through the mirror.

"Then it should be better than this. I know you can do better than this." She winked at me and walked out of the bedroom. "I will see you downstairs, darling."

My heart skipped a beat when she said the last part. This is the first time she called me anything else than Vasilios. It was damn time for a change.

I watch her walking out of the room. Her hips swaying from left to right at each step she took. She was the kind of girl I could only dream about.

Sweet, nice, caring, and loving. And a little bit of freakiness.

She was everything I need and so much more. Jill deserved the world and I'm ready to give her that. She was an angel that brought the good out in me.

I walked into the walk-in closet and squatted down to open the secret drawer behind the mirror. Jill didn't know this drawer exist. Lucky me, because I ran out of ideas where to hide this.

I stared at the red velvet box. It was in this drawer for almost a month now and I could not wait to see it on Jill.

But I was not going to give it to her yet. I needed the perfect moment for this.

I placed the box back in the drawer and sighed heavily. I was already so nervous and it was not even happening yet. I closed the door of the walk-in closet and headed downstairs to help Jill with dinner.

..........

Jill Malik P.O.V

Flynn and I were busy helping the caterers to put everything in place when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Flynn said and walked out of the kitchen to open the door. I continued doing my work when I suddenly heard. "Pudding, tía is here!"

My eyes widened and I ran out of the kitchen. Aunt Lydia and Milan were standing in the foyer with a huge smile on their faces. "Tía, Milan!" I hugged Aunt Lydia firmly and then squatted down to Milan to place kisses all over his face. "How was the flight?" I was so happy they finally arrived. I had been waiting and thinking about them all day.

"The flight was pleasant. No problems at all." she said smiling and then looked at Flynn. "Your private jet is amazing. I'm so happy you take good care of Jill."

"Actually," Flynn said, chuckling nervously. I can't believe he's nervous around my aunt. "She's the one that takes care of me." He placed his hand possessively around my waist and looked down at Milan who was staring at the huge christmas tree in the living room. "Did you brought a girlfriend with you to kiss under the mistletoe later, bud?"

I elbowed him and he groaned in pain. How can he say that to a six year old boy? "God pudding, no need to be so violent."

I turned my attention back to Aunt Lydia. "Let's go to the kitchen. I was helping the caterers to put everything ready for dinner." I then looked at Flynn who was still in pain and smiled sweetly at him. "Darling, can you entertain Milan while me and tía are doing the final touches for dinner."

Flynn nodded and took Milan's hand to bring him to the living room. Aunt Lydia and I then walked to the kitchen and that's when I noticed she was limping instead of walking. There was also a bandage on her foot.

"Tía, what happened to your foot?" I asked, worried. When I called her she didn't mention getting injured.

"Oh don't worry about that." she chuckled. "I just stepped on lego."

I facepalmed myself. I knew all those boxes of lego wasn't a good idea.

..........

Later on the night Flynn's parents arrived, Luca and Reina, and at last Ximena and Rodrigo. Lately Ximena and Rodrigo had spent an awful amount of time together. They even went on a vacation to Bali, Indonesia in November. I wonder if they are in a relationship, but they both have denied it. "We are just friends!" they always said in unison.
