The New Girl

Chapter 19

Cara's POV

It's Christmas morning and I'm so fucking excited. This is my first Christmas with an actual family. And I get to wake up with the person I love the most in this world. I woke up to see Brit sitting in front of me with her legs crossed and two stockings in her lap. I sat up then smiled at my girlfriend as she said "Merry Christmas baby!" She wrapped her arms around my neck then kissed me. I kissed her back and pulled her onto my lap ignoring the presents falling off of her lap. After a few minuets I pulled away and said with a smile "Merry Christmas darling." She squeezed me tight then said excitedly after a quick kiss "Cmon we gotta open our stockings then go downstairs." I nodded at her and we started to unwrap our presents. We got underwear, bras, candles, bath bombs, a cd, chocolate, socks and a bracelet each. We showed each other what we had gotten then headed down stairs after putting all the gifts on my desk and gathering the paper. We walked into the lounge hand in hand to see presents surrounding the tree and then Mum and Dad sat on the sofa drinking coffee also holding hands. They stood up and came and hugged us saying "Merry Christmas girls." After a bit of small talk we sat down and started to hand out the presents. It took us around 2 and a half hours to go through all the presents. Mum and Dad got us loads of clothes and shoes. They also bought us sonos speakers for multiple rooms in the house. We both got the iPhone 6+ in space grey and tickets for Lana Del Rey, The 1975 and Bombay Bicycle Club in the summer. Then it got to mine and Brits presents to each other. She got me a cacti, a mini popcorn machine for our room, some cute pjs and then she had a main present but I wasn't allowed to open it yet- much like how she wasn't allowed to open mine yet. I got her A big hamper from lush, A full length of a mirror and Chanel perfume. For her main present I got her a short necklace that had a star and heart on it and on the back I had engraved 'Forever & Always - Cara.' I was really excited to see her reaction I couldn't wait. But I had to wait.

Spencer is coming today. He should be here any second now. This is going to be his first time meeting Brit and Mum and I really hope he likes them and isn't rude. He knows how important it is that he likes them to me. And just then the door bell rang. "Hello Martin." I heard his posh voice echo down the corridor. I turned to Brit and said taking her hands in mine "I'm sorry if something bad happens my brother is unpredictable. If you need to leave you just give my hand 3 squeezes." She nodded in response then I leant in and kissed her. And just at that moment... "Well well well." A low posh voice came from the doorway. I pulled away from the kiss and looked over to see Spencer standing there with two big bags in his hands. "H-hello Spencer, this is Brittany, my girlfriend." He put the bags under the tree and shook Brits hand and said formally "Pleasure to meet you miss." He then turned to me and put his hand out for me to shake it. As I shook his hand he said "I don't think I've ever seen you so happy. And I see you've recovered from your accident." I tilted my head at him then said as I intertwined my fingers with Brits "You knew I was in a car crash?" He sat down then said looking at his phone "Yes, Martin called me when it happened." I sat down on the sofa and Brit sat next to me close. I said quietly looking at the floor "But you didn't come see me." He shot his head up then said with a huff "Well I can't just take time off work whenever I like. I run it I keep it all together." Brit put her arm around my waist and rubbed my leg with her other hand. She brought my face up to hers and wiped away my tears before placing a soft kiss on my lips. I put my legs on the sofa then cuddled up to her until mum and dad came in. They had a quick kiss then sat down saying "Right lets get too it." Mum sat next to me and must've noticed I was upset because she hugged me then whispered in my ear "I love you darling." I told her I loved her too then got back to the presents. Spencer got Dad cologne, an apple watch and some other bits and bobs. He got mum an Apple Watch too then a mulberry handbag along with some other small things. He got me and Brit Perfume, a play station 4 for our room and then he has given us a couple hundred pounds for us to have a day out in London, he even booked us in at the shard. We all got him similar things just bits and bobs really. After we had done me and Brit took all our presents upstairs and set up the ps4 and our phones. When we went back downstairs dinner was ready so we all sat down and tucked in.
