Chapter 14 - Merry Christmas!
Erza's POV
I couldn't believe it was Christmas! My favourite time of the year since it's so festive and we get presents! I decorated the front garden with some Christmas decorations and there's a beautiful Christmas tree in the living room. Too bad no one's coming to my house to see it. I couldn't wait for the Christmas party and so I was already getting dressed for it.
School was over for the year and on the last day of school, we had Kris Kringle for the whole class. I had Evergreen so I got her a pair of kiddy glasses with pictures of fairies on them and custom made chocolate in the shape of her as a fairy, dead. I know, I'm really nice to have gotten her custom made chocolate which cost quite a fair amount. Levy got me for Kris Kringle and she got me a cake recipe book.
Ding Dong! That must be the doorbell! Meaning that it must be Simon who was taking me to the party!
I quickly checked myself in the mirror. I was wearing a red and green Christmas dress with red boots that had white fur. My red hair was done up in a high ponytail and I had some make up on.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
"I'm coming!" I yelled.
I quickly ran down stairs and opened the door. "Hi Simon."
"Hey Erza. You look really pretty today" Simon said.
"Thanks. You look good too" I blushed.
He was wearing green pants with a white Christmas themed t-shirt. To be honest, he looked pretty good but I couldn't wait to see Jellal. I locked the door and followed Simon into his car. In my arms, I was carrying a big bag of presents which I bought for all my friends.
We chatted about random topics and a few minutes later, we arrived at his house. It was a big house and was nicely decorated with Christmas decorations out the front, including a blow up Santa and reindeer. Cars were lined up along the street and people from my school were walking into his house. Simon parked the car in the driveway and we got out.
"Erza!" was the first thing I heard when I stepped out. My first thought was Jellal and I was right.
I turned around to see Jellal standing in the doorway with Ultear and Meredy. Forgetting about Simon, I ran towards them and threw my arms around Jellal, even though it was hard to do with the big bag of gifts.
"Well, I can see that you missed me" Jellal smiled but then it turned to a frown. "But why were you with Simon?"
"Umm, well, he was the one who invited us and he wanted to take me there so I said yes to be polite. You know I couldn't say no, and besides, we didn't do anything of course. You trust your girlfriend, right?" I asked him.
"Yes, I do trust you" he said after hesitating a bit and then gave me a small kiss on the nose.
We walked into the house which was full of people and Christmas decorations. I put my presents underneath the big Christmas tree, with the other presents. Ultear and Meredy left us alone and we just danced along with everyone else. The music blasted through my ears but I still had a good time. I feel kinda bad for Simon since I ditched him after he gave me a ride here.
"Let's go get a drink" Jellal whispered in my ear.
I nodded and held onto his arm as we wove through the crowd to the kitchen. It was so nice and stuffy but a nice cup of ice water helped me cool down. Yep, I'm not getting drunk today.
"Erza, Jellal! Bring your presents and come upstairs" Lucy called as she stuck her head in the doorway of the kitchen.
"Sure" I replied.
I grabbed Jellal's hand and we went over to the Christmas tree. Grabbing our presents that we got for people, we went upstairs and found our friends sitting on the floor in one of the rooms. I closed the door – which helped block out the music, and sat down next to Lucy with Jellal on my other side.
"Alright everyone, Merry Christmas" Lucy shouted and everyone replied with a loud 'Merry Christmas'.
"Presents!" I think Natsu shouted and I saw him dive into the pile of presents, looking for his.
From there, it was chaos. People tossed each other presents and walked around the room. I helped give my presents I bought for people to them in a calm manner and I collected my presents I received. The people in the room were Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Gajeel and Levy.
Everyone then opened their presents and thanked everyone. This is what I got from everyone:
Jellal – A charm bracelet with a charm of a strawberry
Lucy – A notebook charm for the bracelet
Natsu – A fire charm for the bracelet
Gray – A snowflake charm
Juvia – Some perfume
Gajeel – A clapperboard keyring
Levy – A notebook with a picture of a strawberry cheesecake on the front
"Thank you so much, Jellal!" I cried and hugged him.
"You're welcome" he smiled and planted a kiss on my lips.
I put the charms on the bracelet and admired how well it looked. It was so exciting how it was Christmas and the end of the year.
"What are we doing now?" Jellal asked me.
I shrugged. The party downstairs wasn't that good so we probably won't go back there.
"Umm, guys? Natsu and me are going so see you at New Years" Lucy said.
"Bye!" we all chorused.
I got up and walked over to them. "Thanks for the presents" I hugged them both.
"No probs. Thank you for the presents, Erza" they said and then left.
Then Gajeel and Levy said they were going somewhere as well.
"Ooh, is that love in the air?" I teased Levy and it was so cute when she blushed.
It was down to me, Jellal, Gray and Juvia. Hmm, is Gray going to take Juvia out? I kind of feel sorry for her since he's taking so long to ask her out.
"Come on Gray-sama. Let's go somewhere where it's just us" Juvia squealed.
"Yeah, it's kind of stuffy in here anyway" Gray said while avoiding eye contact with Juvia. Juvia's eyes sparkled and I winked as the two walked away.
They were definitely going to get together soon. I could see Gray was thinking of making a move. Their love was just so sweet!
"Come on, let's go to my place" I suggested and Jellal nodded.
Jellal drove us to my house and we arrived pretty quickly. I was really happy because someone could now see my beautifully decorated house.
"It looks really nice, Erza" Jellal commented.
"Thanks" I replied and we entered my house.
"And the tree looks beautiful" he complimented.
I beamed again. It was nice that someone could appreciate my decorating skills. We decided to just sit on the couch and watch Christmas movies. It was a fun movie marathon that included Elf and The Grinch. We ate popcorn together and had soft drink. After watching a couple of movies, we turned the TV off and just stared at each other.
"You know, I haven't given you your Christmas present yet? I wanted to give it to you privately" I told Jellal.
I then handed him a nicely wrapped box and he took it carefully.
"Thank you Erza" Jellal said.
It was silent as he slowly unwrapped the present. One side done... another side done... a tear was made........ unwrapped that side even slower...
"Oh hurry up!" I cried. I couldn't take it anymore.
Jellal grinned cheekily and then tore off the rest of the wrapping paper in a flash. It was a dark blue box. He opened it up and it revealed a bone carving necklace in the shape of a heart with blue swirly patterns in it. The bone was attached to a long piece of black cord-string thing. Wow, I feel like a guy right now when he gives the girl a necklace.
"Do you like it?" I asked.
"No... I love it" Jellal smirked. He put it on and admired the beautiful intricate blue designs.
"I got it because it's sort of like my necklace you gave me. My heart necklace is red and yours is blue. But I didn't know if you would like it since guys don't really wear necklaces. So I had to buy a guy style necklace and I thought-" I rambled on before Jellal shut me up with a kiss.
"It's perfect; like you" Jellal smiled.
"That was really cheesy" I said and Jellal shrugged.
He put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I nuzzled my head in the crook of his neck before kissing his jaw. My hands went to his hair and they tugged his blue hair. Jellal moaned and put his lips to mine. Sparks flew everywhere – not literally – and we were having a passionate make out session.
"I love you" Jellal told me.
"I love you more."
"I love you most" Jellal kissed my forehead.
We laid there for a few more seconds, with our arms around each other. Then my lips found Jellal's again and they moved in sync but slower this time.
"Merry Christmas" Jellal whispered.
