Our Happy Ever After

Forty Three

It was Christmas morning and the girls decided to wake up at 12 in the afternoon after falling asleep so late the night before. They were having breakfast at Katia, Karen, and Ashley's place and thanking eachother for their gifts.

Sandra: Sooooooo what did Richard get you huh?

Cristal: *smiles* Nothing special just makeup

Karen: Well that's lame

Cristal: Hey I think it's thoughtful and I loved it

Sandra: It's the thought that counts

Cristal: Exactly!

Katia: Ash how about you? What did Joel get you?

Ash: Perfume

* The girls burst out laughing *

Ash: Hey! Didn't you just say it's the thought that counts

Sandra: Okay okay sorry

They continued their breakfast and then decided to relax and keep chatting at the living room when Karen noticed something.

Karen: Hey guys?

Girls: Huh?

Karen: I thought we opened all the gifts last night?

Cristal: We did

Karen: Then what are those? *points to gifts under the tree*

Ash: Those won't there before were they?

Katia: *shrugs*

Sandra: Wait! We gave everyone their gifts right?

Cristal: I gave everyone the gifts I bought

Katia: Me too

Ash: Yeah same

Karen: I did too

Cristal: Let's see *picks up the gifts* That's weird

Sandra: What is it?

Cristal: It's for us?

Karen: Let me see *reads the names* Oh yeah they have our names

Cristal and Karen start giving each of the girls their gifts. They each received one gift except for Karen and Sandra who received two. The girls were confused and curious.

Ash: They have our names but doesn't say who they're from

Sandra: Mine does... well one of them

Karen: Yeah mine too

Cristal: Who is it from?

Sandra: Christopher..

Karen: Erick..

Cristal: Oh boy..

Sandra and Karen looked at eachother and nodded. They both started opening the small boxes at the same time and when they saw what was inside they froze.

Katia: What is it?

Without saying anything they both showed them what was inside.

Cristal: Your

Ash: Bracelets

Sandra: Never thought I was getting this back..

Karen: Same here...

Katia: I didn't get mine back..

Sandra: Okay anyways let's open these up

They all nodded and unwrapped their gifts. A small envelope fell from each of their gifts.
