You're My Favorite Addiction

I rolled over and stared out the window. I wonder what it would be like to actually have snow on Christmas. I mean sure it gets a bit chilly out here in Cali, but never low enough for the snow to fall. I reluctantly got up, it's Christmas today. I tossed my hair into a messy bun and threw on my glasses. I wrapped a blanket around my shoulders and walked down the steps.

"Well good morning sleepy head." My mom smiled, kissing my cheek and placing a plate of breakfast down in front of me.

Across the table was my dad chomping away on a piece of bacon. I looked into the living room, the tree showcasing an abundance of presents underneath it. I still have yet to bring mine down to put them under the tree. After I finished breakfast I put my dish in the dishwasher and went upstairs to grab everyone's presents, leaving Carol's for when I see her at work next. After about 3 or 4 trips I had everything down on the main level of the house.

"Are we doing presents now?" Austin said walking in through the door, a huge smile on his face.

"Oh Austin dear, please tell me these are just your pajamas and not your Christmas dinner outfit?" My mom chuckled, referring to his batman pajama pants and cut up slip knot shirt. I smiled as he sat down next to me, placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Okay so I want everyone to open my stuff first." I announced, I loved getting presents for everyone.

"Why does it matter?" Austin cackled.

"I don't know because it's important to me, just do it." I said handing everyone their stuff.

Everyone loved the things I had gotten for them. Austin just seemed so surprised by everything then protested against me spending so much money on him. He was crazy, I loved spending money on him. I loved the man, he was my everything and he deserved whatever the world could offer him. Everyone started passing around gifts, and my mind set back to the black velvet box Austin had for me. God I was going to let my thoughts eat me alive.

My mother had gotten me gift cards and jewelry, she knew all too well that I didn't like when people bought me clothes, I rather just have the money. I thanked her for everything then it was onto my dad. I guess he had no clue about the clothes thing, because I got band shirts, which in his defense were actually right on the money with what I liked.

I nervously sighed as it was Austin's turn to give me his presents he had gotten for me. Gift after gift I had opened I loved everything. Then the moment I had been waiting for, he reached under the tree and grabbed the box slowly sitting back and smiling.

"So this is the last thing I have for you my dear." He smiled, opening it for me. I gasped and started to tear up, it was indeed a ring. I felt my eyes begin to prick with tears.

"Before you think I'm crazy Phoenix I'm not. I'm not purposing, I'm simply making you a promise. A promise that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I know that already. I know we haven't been together all the long but I love you with every ounce of my being. So with this ring I'm making a promise that you will forever be my only one." He let a heavy breath and finally felt the butterflies go away, and now I had to make a decision.

Did I want to spend the rest of my life with Austin?
