The week went on and I sadly didn't manage to stay away from Johnny, although I knew I had to distance myself from him as soon as possible for my own sake. Getting attached to a guy who's not gonna stay in your life is pointless, however I couldn't bring myself to stop inviting him over every night. Actually, it had become some sort of habit for us to spend our nights together. I was aware this wasn't doing me any good except making whatever feelings I had for him grow a little stronger every day, but somehow I didn't care. The only thing that currently mattered was that being with him made me happy.
"By the way, you got any plans for Christmas Eve ?" Johnny questioned all of a sudden while he watched me prepare some cookie dough.
"Nope" I replied, removing the dough from the bowl and beginning to knead it. "Why ?"
"Because my aunt was planning on inviting you and Emily" he said, looking at me expectantly.
"Well...I don't know" I hesitated "It's in two days."
"So what ?" Johnny furrowed his eyebrows, probably not understanding where the problem was.
"Well...I don't even have anything to wear."
"You're kidding me ? Your wardrobe is full of beautiful dresses" he laughed, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I'm a girl Johnny. Girls always feel like they have nothing to wear" I playfully retorted, throwing my hands up in the air innocently.
"I'm glad not to be one" he joked, smiling one of those dazzling smiles of his that made my heart melt each time. His expression then changed into a more serious one "Monica...I'm flying back home on the 26th...I wanna enjoy what little time we got left..."
I stopped kneading for a moment, my insides hurting badly at only the thought of him leaving.
"Okay" I finally mumbled, keeping my head low to prevent him from seeing my now watery eyes.
"Great ! Oh, and one more thing : it's a no-gift Christmas. My aunt hates that people spend their money on her. Even I am not allowed to get her anything."
♡♡♡
Christmas Eve had eventually arrived and I had just finished getting ready for the night. I was wearing a red dress with matching lipstick, beige high heels, black purse, and my hair was let down in loose waves.
I guess I didn't look too bad, but my daughter was definitely and by far prettier with her cute Mrs Claus outfit.
♡♡♡
The dinner table alongside the Christmas tree was wonderfully set. A stunning centerpiece had been placed in the middle and a few candles had also been tastefully arranged. The tablescapes were sparkling and the candlelight seemed to highlight them even more. It was absolutely beautiful.
The atmosphere was so user-friendly, I was honestly glad I had ended up accepting the invitation. Christmas songs were playing rather loudly in the background, and Johnny and I would take the opportunity to share silly dances every now and then when we weren't at the table to eat. Well, when Emily didn't steal him to dance as well that is, but I didn't mind. They were too adorable togather anyway.
♡♡♡
Just like each time you enjoy yourself, time went too fast and, before I even knew it, it was already midnight. We had turned off the music and my little Mrs Claus had fallen asleep on the couch along with Johnny's aunt. But after the amount of food we'd had tonight, it was no real wonder. I myself felt a little sleepy too, however I was still sitting at the table with Johnny.
"I'm so full, I need a cigarette" he told me as he suddenly rose from his chair "Wanna join me ?" he then asked, extending his hand for me to take.
"Sure" I said, holding his hand as I followed him to the balcony.
It was a cold but clear night and thousands stars were shining in the sky. I was leaning on the balcony railing, staring at the so many points of light above my head. Some kind of magic filled the air, and I was almost expecting to see Santa and his reindeer flying through the sky with a sleigh full of presents.
"Do you want one ?" Johnny politely offered, handing me a cigarette.
"Yeah, thanks" I quietly responded, taking it before allowing my eyes to return to the sky.
I remained motionless, admiring it for a long time, not uttering a word, just smoking. I was lost in my thoughts, even if I wasn't sure what I was exactly thinking about. Though I wasn't looking back, I could feel Johnny's intense gaze on me. I chose to ignore it at first, but I turned to him after a while.
"What ?" I raised an eyebrow, a soft smile spreading on my lips.
"Nothing" he chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck and looking away.
"Come on" I encouraged, too curious not to press the subject.
"I was just...You're beautiful" he eventually said in a serious tone of voice.
"Oh...thanks" I blushed, immediately lowering my head in an attempt of hiding it.
My eyes quickly went back on him though, as I heard him digging into his jacket pocket to retrieve something that looked like a present.
"That's for you" he muttered, handing the small box to me.
"What happened to the 'no-gift Christmas' ?" I frowned, feeling somewhat embarrassed for not having anything for him.
"Well, I thought I'd make an exception for you. Besides, the 'no-gift' thing comes from my aunt, not me."
I smiled slightly, taking my eyes away from him as I began carefully unwrapping the box. I shivered at the beautiful heart-shaped necklace I found when I opened it.

"Oh my god Johnny..." I whispered, speechless.
I could tell just by the way it was shining in the moonlight that the topaz and the diamonds weren't fake. I brought a hand to my mouth, still shocked.
"It matches your eyes" Johnny remarked "Do you like it ?"
"It's...gorgeous ! But...it must have cost a fortune ! I can't accept it" I said, handing the necklace back to him.
He took it, but only to put it around my neck after moving my hair to the side.
"Please, keep it. I want you to have it" he said, staring right into my eyes. "There's also something I need to ask you."
"What is it ?" I questioned, eager for him to go on.
"You know that I'm flying back home the day after tomorrow and..." he paused for a long moment, his mouth opening a few times as if he was about to speak but no sound coming out of it. "I want you to come with me."
"What do you mean by that ?" I narrowed my eyes, confused.
"I mean that I love you Monica. I can't just go back home and forget about you...about us. I want you to move to L.A. with me."
"W-what ?" I stammered, my jaw dropping in shock.
"Is there any chance you feel something for me too ?"
I was literally paralyzed, absolutely unable to speak or move. My entire body was shaking uncontrollably and my legs were menacing to give out any minute.
"I-I-I..." I stuttered, searching for something to say, but Johnny cut me off.
"Just come with me. Nothing's keeping you here anyway. I love you and I'll love Emily as if she was my own. We'll be a family."
"Do you realize what you're asking me ?" I murmured, fighting the tears that were now coming. " I have a daughter Johnny ! I can't act like a selfish and reckless kid and just drop my job to follow you to the other side of the country !"
"But you were born in that other side of the country ! Your parents live there, you could reconnect with them ! And I'll take care of you both until you find a new job."
"It's crazy ! What if it doesn't work out between us ?"
"I know it will" he grabbed my hands and started to lean down but I turned my head to prevent him from kissing me.
"I'm sorry Johnny" I whispered before storming back inside.
