"Okay now your turn, " he says smiling mischievously before leaving the room
Geez I hate opening gifts in front of people, my anxiety gets the best of me
Like you can get me a house and I might not look excited because I'm freaking out on the inside
But with Enzo I'm not as nervous...ok I'm lying I'm still nervous just a little less
He comes back with an envelope and a little bag
Oh geez
"Ok open the bag first," he says
I hesitate before slowly opening the bag, inside there's a box
I open that and gasp out loud
I remember showing him this necklace one time saying how I would love to have it one day but there stupidly expensive, it was just another day of me ranting about books and then showing him stuff on Pinterest
I didn't think the idiot would get me it
It's too much, WAY too much money
Note to freaking self never mention anything to Enzo that you know is a lot of money because the idiot might buy it for you.
But OMG it's absolutely stunning I start to tear up, no one has ever bought me something so nice except the beautiful gifts Sophia got me not long ago
But this seems more special because Enzo remembered me showing him one time very quickly and from seeing it for a few seconds he remembered and went out and found it.
Oh man do I love him, how did he remember this, I showed it to him WEEKS ago
(I guess something like this^ but you can imagine any necklace)
My vision gets blurry from the layer of tears, I immediately jump on Enzo and wrap my arms around his neck
"Thank you" i whisper
"How did your even remember I wanted this, I showed you it for like 5 seconds weeks ago" I whisper tears flowing on his shirt and neck
He chuckles " you're welcome sweetheart"
"I remember what you like" he shrugs "I tend to pay attention to what the people who I care about say," he says
I love you I love you I love
I chant in my head
"How do I say 'I care about you more in Italian "I whisper in his ear still crying
He laughs " mi preoccupo di più per te," he says (I care about you more)
I try opening my mouth but he covers it with his hands
"Nope not this time you're not" he laughs
"That's not fair," I say muffled
And he laughs even more
"If I take my hand off your mouth you promise not to say it?" He says
I nod
He takes it off and I wrap my hands around his neck and whisper "I care about you more" in his ear and kiss the top of his ear
"ZARA" He nudges my shoulder and I laugh
"WHAT, You insinuated that I don't say it in Italian that wasn't Italian" I say laughing
"Ok smart ass" he laughs
"I also put some hoodies and rings on your bed" he says tickling the tip of my ear as he talks
"Your the best" I kiss his cheek wrapping him in a tight hug
"It's just hoodies and some cheap ish rings" he laughs
"Yeah but they're yours" I shrug smiling
He smiles back and kisses my cheek
I sit in his lap and he hands me the envelope
"Open it," he says
"Alright," I say
I open it up not expecting anything and immediately start crying
Inside is tickets to Hawaii for me, Mia, and Enzo
YOUR KIDDING, this man DIDN'T
I slowly look up eyes filled with tears to look at Enzo
"Don't cry Zara" he says wiping my tears
I slap his chest "how the hell am I supposed to not cry when you buy me tickets to the damn place on the top of my bucket list" I start crying even more
And he laughs
"It's not funny, This is too much Enzo are you insane" I exclaim
"Zara...I'm almost a damn billionaire this is like a trip to target to me" he rolls his eyes
"And it's your dream and I want to make it come true" he shrugs
I hug him tighter than ever
I love you I love you I love you, I wanna scream it out to him
I can't believe he did this for me
"You idiot I thought we agreed not to spend a lot on each other" I say still crying
"I made you promise...that was just a mere suggestion for me" he shrugs smirking
"How am I supposed to freaking accept this, the necklace in its self is to much" I sigh eyebrows knit together
"Your supposed to accept it by going to Hawaii and having the time of your life" he says his fingers going over the crease in my brows
"That's not fair though, you spent to much" i say
"To bad your gonna have to get used to it, you will also have to get used to not spending A lot on me, I don't like you buying me pricy things and i like your sentimental gifts way more" he says kissing my forehead
I huff "your unbelievable"
"Glad you noticed, now except the gift or that money will go to waste" he smirks
I'm still crying when I talk "fine, when do we leave" i whisper
"in 3 days, " he says smiling in victory
"Thank you, Enzo" i whisper
"Your welcome la Mia Regina, merry Christmas" he kisses my temple ( my queen)
"Merry Christmas," I say not being able to stop crying
How am I gonna make it up to him after this
Ava and Matt are now here and we're hanging out
We gave each other our gifts.
We're now just hanging out and talking
"OMG, YOU'RE GOING TO HAWAII, You lucky lucky girl" Ava squeals
"Yeah you are lucky ," Matt says grinning mischievously looking at Ava
Huh?
I look over at Enzo who's grinning like an idiot...except he looks hot...UGH WHATEVER
"Huh?" I say confused
"This is kind of the last part of the gift...Ava and Matt are coming along with us..." Enzo smiles
"SHUT UP WERE GOING TO HAWAII!!" Ava screams
"surprise" matt says
Ava and I hug while both crying, we are basically both poor so we never thought we would be able to go
I then turn to Enzo, while Ava is hugging Matt while crying
"ARE YOU SERIOUS, Enzo you're not kidding right?" I say freaking out
He shakes his head " I don't joke sweetheart especially about this stuff" he says
I hug him once again Chanting "thank you thank you thank you"
He laughs and says "your welcome- kiss on forehead-your welcome-kiss on the cheek- your welcome-kiss on top of nose-" he says in between kisses
We both laugh
"Well aren't y'all absolutely adorable," Ava says
"Did anyone order whipped cream?" Matt says
I laugh "Says the one whipped for Ava" Enzo snorts
And I laugh and whisper in his Enzo's ear "don't worry I like that your whipped" while kissing his cheek and smiling
He smiles kissing my cheek in return
"AM NOT!" Matt says
"ARE TOO" Ava exclaims
"WHAT HOW?!" Matt says
"HELLO! You never say no to me...WHICH I DONT MIND...but not the point, you also let me use you as a KEN BARBIE DOLL" Ava says laughing
"SHUT UP, Do you have pictures of that" I say laughing
"Yes Omg let me grab my phone," Ava says laughing
"HEY NO," Matt says
"Please you look so cute in them" Ava batts her eyelashes
He huffs "fine"
"HA EXAMPLE OF BEING WHIPPED!" Enzo says
We all laugh
"Whatever" Matt rolls his eyes
Ava shows us the pictures "aww Matt you look absolutely adorable " Enzo says holding in a laugh
But I can't hold mine in so I burst out laughing
Then we all start laughing
The man is covered in makeup and some very adorable clothing
"STOP IT" Matt says throwing pillows at us
"Hey you look adorable" Ava smiles up at him
"I'm not adorable, I'm hot" he huffs
We all laugh
"I'm sorry your HOT...and adorable " Ava smirks
Another pillow is thrown and we all continue to laugh
Mia is busy playing with her new toys she got for Christmas to hang out with us
So it's just us down here while she's up in her room
This year is the best Christmas I have ever experienced
I'm with the people I love most in my life, laughing and making great memories
"Enzo...." I smile up at him batting my eyelashes a little
He rolls his eyes "what" he says as chuckling
"I want us to wear the matching Christmas pj's I got us and take pictures," I say smiling
He grunts "fine"
"YAY, Thank you thank you thank you " I say kissing his cheek
We get changed and take some pictures
"OMG LOOK HOW CUTE YALL ARE!" Ava says
"WHIPPPPEDDD," Matt says
"OKAY AND WHAT ABOUT IT YOU IDIOT" Enzo shouts throwing a pillow at Matt
"AWWWWW see Matt this is how you should act when getting called whipped...YOU OWN IT" Ava says
"Yeah you do " I whisper and Enzo chuckles
"Merry Christmas Bello " I whisper to Enzo (handsome)
"Merry Christmas ragazza carina" he whispers back (pretty girl)
"What's that mean" I smile
He rolls his eyes "alright in the spirit of Christmas I'll tell you" he chuckles
"Pretty girl" he whispers and kisses the sensitive spot near my ear
"I like that" I smile
"How do you say pretty boy" I wiggle my eyebrows
"Absolutely not" he laughs
"Aww come on" I say pouting slightly
"Nope," he says walking away
I hop onto the couch and jump onto his back
"Tell meeeee," I say as he grabs my legs to support me while I'm on his back
"Nope," he says again
"HEY MATT HOW DO YOU SAY PRETTY BOY IN ITALIAN" I yell
"FICHETTO" Matt yells
And Enzo grunts while dropping me on the couch
"THANK YOU" I yell back to Matt
I smile up at him...
"GOODNIGHT GUYS" Enzo yells walking upstairs
Not so fast pretty boy
"NOT SO FAST FICHETTO" I yell at Enzo as I laugh running up the stairs ( pretty boy)
"NOT HAPPENING ZARA" Enzo yells
"AWW COME ON ITS CUTE" I yell while laughing
I'm so using this nickname all the time now, he hates it and that makes it funnier
I open the door to his room to see him without a shirt on and in sweatpants
...well damn
"Like what you see Zara" he raises an eyebrow in amusement
Oh you're on
"Well yes I do Fichetto" I wiggle my eyebrows (pretty boy)
"Alright goodnight Zara," he says pushing me out of the room
"Hey" I say with a pout
"Go hang out with Ava, I'm sure she can help you pack for Hawaii," he says changing the subject
I laugh "didn't you say you had someone already send over a ton of "Hawaii perfect clothes for me"
"Yes but you need someone to help with what to bring " he laughs
"Unless you wanna take 20 bathing suits and like 40 outfits for a week..." he laughs
"Ok fair point" I laugh
I hug him and he hugs me back while kissing my forehead
"Goodnight Enzyyy" I laugh kissing his cheek
He rolls his eyes "goodnight muffin" he says kissing my cheek
"You're not actually going to sleep right ?" I ask
He laughs "no I'll go hang out with Matt while you hang out with Ava," he says
"Okay" I smiled kissing his cheek one last time before heading downstairs to get Ava to help me with All the clothing, and I have to practically bite my tongue to not call him pretty boy as I'm walking away
