Ocean and I were decorating the house and the tree that I had asked to be brought to the house while we were at school. We were making great progress and I knew that we were going to get it all done tonight. It was going to be a little late, but it would still be done and that was all that mattered to me.
When I realized that Ocean loved Christmas this much, I just knew that I needed to do this. I would do anything to see that happy smile on his face. There was also the fact that while we were decorating he kept singing Christmas carols without even realizing what it was that he was doing.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go. Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again. With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.. Toys in every store. But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door." His voice was so mesmerizing that I would sometimes just stop what I was doing just to listen to him singing the different songs.
"A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots is the wish of Barney and Ben. Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk is the hope of Janice and Jen. And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go. There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Soon the bells will start, and the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing right within your heart."
When we started to decorate the tree, he was singing nearly nonstop. It was like having my own personal radio show tuned into my love. Ocean was so full of joy and the Christmas spirit that it made this whole experience worth it.
"So, Ocean, should we put this ornament here?" I asked him as I held up the one he had given to me the night before. That had prompted me to do all of this in the first place.
When he turned to look at it, he saw that I had personalized it like we were supposed to. It had our names written on it as elegantly as I could manage and when he saw it his eyes lit up.
"You put our names on it." His beaming smile was already worth it all.
"Yeah, I wanted it to be perfect, so I made sure to take my time and get it just right."
"That is so perfect, babe." The words just slipped right out of his mouth like he hadn't even realized that he had just called me that again. I noticed though, and so, I leaned in to kiss his lips softly. That was his reward for getting more and more used to using that word. He still didn't seem to notice what I was doing, he just grinned after I kissed him and watched me as I put the ornament onto the tree.
"Hmm, should I put this here, or should it go higher?" Ocean had a white dove ornament that clipped onto the tree branches and was trying to decide where to put it.
"Let's see." I stepped up behind him and took it from his hand. "I think it should go just a little higher." I was smirking but he couldn't see it.
I ended up clipping the ornament just about an inch higher than he had it at, probably less, but it was just beyond his reach.
"That's just about the same spot, it's not higher at all." He snubbed my efforts.
"Yes it is. I am taller than you so it's higher." My chuckled words didn't seem to go over all that well.
"You're half an inch taller than me, that's all." He turned to face me while my hand was still up in the tree.
"That still counts as taller." I let the heat fill my eyes as I brought my hand down to slide it down his back. "I get to reach a little higher than you, and I can look just slightly down as I stare into your beautiful eyes." He blushed instantly, and I pressed my lips to his again. This time the kiss was a little longer, a little more heated, and a lot more passionate.
After a moment, Ocean pushed me away and was panting slightly.
"W..we need to finish the tree before the night is over." I could tell that he hadn't wanted to stop me, but he wanted us to get this done.
"Alright. I can just give you another kiss when it's time for bed." He shivered at my words, and we got back to work on the tree.
The tree took us a little more time to finish. We had honestly bought way too much. That was fine with me, though, I was treated to another serenade of Christmas songs while we worked our way through it all.
"Rocking around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop. Mistletoe hung where you can see. Every couple tries to stop Rocking around the Christmas tree. Let the Christmas spirit ring. Later we'll have some pumpkin pie. And we'll do some caroling. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear voices singing let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly. Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday. Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way."
"I love your voice." I hadn't even thought about saying those words, they just slid right out of my mouth when he was done singing the song.
"Huh?" He looked up at me in a daze like he didn't even know what I was talking about. "What are you talking about?"
"You were singing."
"No, I wasn't." He shook his head in denial.
"Yes, you were. You've been singing almost the entire time that we've been decorating. Even when we were outside." At that, his face turned even redder than it was before.
"B..b..but, I never sing in front of people. Last night when you said I was singing, I hadn't even noticed that I was doing it. I..i..it's just that, I..I..I couldn't help myself."
"You love to sing, don't you?" I had expected that much when I first heard him singing.
"Yeah, but my sisters used to make such a big deal about it when I was younger, so I tried to stop myself from singing in front of people. I usually do much better than this, but I guess I've been slipping up because I was so comfortable with you." He looked so worried now.
"What kind of fuss did they make?" I was curious now. He had completely piqued my interest.
"They used to tell our mom to get me an agent and to make me famous. They would try to dress me up to look like a star and pretend that they were paparazzi that were trying to get a candid shot. They used to just pop into the room with me when I was singing and pretend to take pictures."
"That sounds annoying." I wanted to laugh, but I didn't think that he would like that at all. "So, after that you just stopped singing?" The thought of that made me feel a little sad, he had basically given up on something that he loved.
"Yeah, basically." There was sadness in his eyes now.
"Well, you can sing here anytime that you want. I love your voice and I won't be a paparazzi. Also, I will always be your biggest fan. You can serenade me whenever you want to."
Now, what did I say that would cause his face to turn this red? I was just supporting him as much as I could. I love him and want him to be happy.
"Th..th..thank you." He forced the words out and forced a smile as well. Despite it being forced, I could tell that he was still really happy.
"I love you, Ocean , everything about you."
"I love you too, babe." There he went again, using that word. I had to lean in again and kiss him. This training was going so well.
When the tree was just about done, I wanted to get another surprise ready for my boyfriend. There was something else that I had asked to be bought and brought to the house today. He didn't know about this part of my plan.
"Hey, I will meet you upstairs when you are done. There is just one more thing that I want to do, OK?"
"Yeah, sure, no problem." He nodded at me but I could tell that he was suspicious about what I was doing.
"See you in a minute, love you." I pecked him on the lips and ran up the stairs.
Once I got to our room, I quickly stripped the sheets off the bed and threw them in the hamper. I had Janice go to the store and buy some Christmas themed sheets. She washed and dried them as well, and now they were folded and stored at my half of the closet.
I quickly put the sheets onto the bed and made it as fast as I could. I also had a comforter that matched the theme of the sheets and tucked that around the mattress. Aside from that, there were a few decorations that Janice had gotten for my room. I hung a wreath on the inside of the bedroom door, both sides of the bathroom door, and the bedroom side of the closet door.
There were some battery operated lights that looked like they were candles and perfect for the holiday, those I put on the desks, the nightstands, and in the windows. And lastly, I strung up several strands of Christmas lights. This part was a little rushed and didn't look as good since I knew that I was running out of time.
I managed to get it all done, though. There were ten strands of lights that went from the center point in the ceiling down to different parts along the wall. They made a bit of a canopy for the whole room, and I thought it would be perfect for my Christmas loving lover. I couldn't wait to see his face.
Just moments after I was done with the decorations, I heard him coming down the hall. I quickly sat on the bed and posed a little bit just to be silly. When he opened the door, I had the perfect spot to see the shock fill his face.
"Wh..wh..what's this?" He was grinning as he looked all around him.
"I wanted to surprise you with the changes to the room. I barely had time to finish it all." The words came out on a breath filled with laughter.
"You did this just for me?" I think he was on the verge of tears right now.
"I wanted to make you happy."
"Well, mission accomplished." He jumped at me and pushed me onto the mattress. "Thank you."
My efforts earned me a wonderfully passionate kiss and a night filled with some naked cuddling. If it wasn't for the fact that we had a late night last night and were already tired, I might have taken it further.
I was content with this though. I loved being with Ocean in every way that I possibly could be. And any time that I got to just hold him in my arms and pressed against my chest, especially if we were naked, that was the best time of my life.
That night, he fell asleep with me rubbing small patterns on his back and his face rubbing against my chest. What better way to sleep was there than that?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
