"A kiss isn't just when the lips meet together. A kiss is when two souls have finally connected and all the emotions that were never said in words, are said through it."

Julia's POV

"Everyone! Its Christmas morning!" Celine shouts from downstairs and we all head down.

"Ahh!! The tree looks beautiful." She claps. The tree is really big and beautiful. The ornaments really bring out the the tree and the lights bring the extra touch to it.

"Look at all the presents!" Bethany shouts. She rushes to a bike that is wrapped up.

"Who says that's yours?" Francis picks up his daughter and tickles her.

"Yeah! Its probably ours." Tyler says.

"Oh boy." Brayon sighs, holding his fiancé.

"Let's pray first." Celine says and we all sit in a big circle. Just like that, I know that I'm completely in love with this family.

"Is it time to open the presents now?" Carter whines.

"Duuhhh!" Emily sass and in no time, the whole room is filled with empty wrappers and laughter.

"Mommy! Look at the doll Julia got me!" Bethany says excitedly to her mother.

"Aw, its so beautiful honey. Thank you Julia." Nadine hugs me.

"Thank you Julia." Bethany kisses me on the cheek.

"Yuh welcome." I smile at them.

"Julia, we have something for you-"

"Yes! I got a pornography book!" Carter shouts.

"And its getting taken away, you bought you that?" Brayon says.

"Guilty as charge." Kathy raises her hands in mock surrender and we all laugh.

I didn't miss the guy holding her by her waist. The guy she bumped into at the jewelry store.

Looks like somebody's in love already...

"Anyways, as I was saying, we have something for you Julia." Francis says, holding his wife's waist from behind.

Victor comes up to me and gives me a wrapped up gift in the shape of a plate.

"We know you haven't been feeling apart of the family and it breaks our heart because you are apart of it. Since you gave everybody a gift, we decided to give you something." Nadine smiles.

"Go ahead and open it." Jace whispers from behind me. I was on his lap the whole time.

I slowly tear the wrap off and tears threaten to come out of my eyes.

Its a frame in the form of a circle with a picture of me and the family.

"Oh my gosh, this beautiful." I whisper.

"You are apart of our family Julia. We want you to know that. We love you, and we're glad your here with us." Francis says and the whole family comes in for a hug.

And right there ams then, I felt so loved and cared for.

I didn't need my dad or Linda. I didn't need the people who don't care for me.

I don't need them

I need people in my life who will make me happy and be there for me through ever struggle that I've gone through. And that's exactly what this family has done from the beginning.

They care for me and I care for them.

And that's all I need.

.............

"Julia? Can I talk to you?" Celine asks.

I gently untangle myself from Jace. I smile when he pouts.

"I'll be back." I whisper.

I follow her towards the balcony of her room.

"Was it something yuh needed?" I ask worriedly. Did I forget to leave the toilet seat down or...

"No, I want to thank you." She pauses. "I wanna thank you everything you've done for this family. For Jace."

I flush. "Oh, yuh welcome."

"No, I don't think you get it." She turns to face me from where she was looking at the pool downstairs. She places her hot chocolate on the coaster.

"Jace has changed. In a good way. I've never seen him this happy before. Ever. Not even with that spoil brat Bianca. Your different and its so obvious that you are the one for him. I could tell just by the way he looks at you. Its pure love. And its beautiful. I want you to do something for me."

I shake my head at her, coming closer.

"Please, take care of him. Make him happy. Make him happy, treat him like he's your number one priority. Love him like you never did before. Don't leave his side. He loves you a lot." She sighs. I mutter a yes to her and she sighs. "Treat him better than how my husband treated me. Don't take his love for granted. Love him and make sure that you keep him. Don't go running off to another man now." She scolds and I smile at her.

"I want you to go down there and kiss him so deeply, you'll remember for the rest of your life."

"I haven't kissed him yet." I say shyly.

"Well then my dare, that changes today. Take him today. And make sure that your wild!" She exclaims and I burst out laughing.

"Hey, what are you guys doing up here?" Jace says opening the door.

I stare at him adoringly. I look back at Celine.

'Go get him' she mouths and I blow her a kiss.

'I will' I smile at her and leave the room with the boy I'm in love with.

.............

"Mi can take off dis blindfold now?" I say irritatedly.

"Sure." Jace says from behind and takes it off. I slowly open my eyes to see the Eiffel tower.

"Let's go." He holds my hand and we head up. When we have arrived at the top, I smile at the sight. There's not really a lot of people, the place is practically empty since its a holiday.

"Why'd yuh bring me up here?" I say confusingly.

"I didn't give you my Christmas present yet." He smiles and I see him take out the necklace that I saw at the jewelry store. The one I wanted because it looked so gorgeous.

"You got it for me?" I whisper.

"Of course I did." He whispers back to me. He hands it to me. "Open it." I slowly open it and I gasp.

Its the portrait we did the first day we came to explore Paris. It looks so beautiful. Jace and I look so happy and so in love.

I can't find any words to say as I look at us. In the little heart necklace. My heart is beating from the emotions that I want to spew out to him. I slowly run my thumb against. I let out a shaky breath, my tears threatening to spill.

"Oh Jace, its beautiful." I whisper looking at him.

"Look at the back." He says stepping a little bit closer to me. I turn the back and my heart swells.

'I love you with my entire heart. I love you June. We are forever one.'

And the tears fall.

"You have no idea how much this means to me. I love you." I hug him. This boy right here, has got me. He has me completely now. My body, mind and soul.

"Don't cry my love." He whispers wiping my tears. "This doesn't sum up to just how much I love you. But I just wanted you to know that you mean the absolute world to me Julia. I am so glad I found you."

"And I'm glad I found you Jace. I love you more than words can say. You make me better, you hold my hand as I fix myself. And I just want to thank you for being such a big part of my life. I can honestly say now that I can't live without you." I pull out the ring. The ring that my mother gave me before she died.

"Hi June, I want to give you this." She gave me her ring and her bracelet that she never ever took off. Her mother gave it to her when she was a little girl before she died.

"This is the ring my mother gave me before she died. I want you to have it. If you accept this, you've completely taken my heart. You have me, every single part of me. This ring and bracelet means the world to me. And, I want you to be wearing it." I whisper to him.

"Julia I-I don't know what to say." He whispers, looking at me with so much love, I almost burst into more tears.

"Yuh don't have to. Just take it." I give him and he gently takes it and puts it on his third finger.

"This means so much to me, thank you June." He holds me by the waist and I look into his eyes. The emotions in them simply take my breath away.

There filled with love, adoration, admiration and mostly desire.

Desire for me and only me...

He looks at my lips, then at my eyes and then my lips again, only this time, he bites his.

"I love you." I whisper. My mouth just a few inches from his.

"I love you." He whispers back and gently holds my chin. He leans in and in that moment, everything stopped.

And the most beautiful thing happens...

He kisses me.

He kisses me long and deep, the passion and love devoured me like a flower that greedily takes water after not being watered for days. My whole body is set a fire. Like I've just woken up from an everlasting sleep.

I simply melt in his arms as his soft lips move against mine in the perfect sync. He holds my chin, urging me to give into him. And that's what I did.

And my whole body simply turned into liquid.

And in the moment, I knew that this was real...

Jace is mine

He slowly pulls away and looks at me, smiling softly.

"Merry Christmas June."

I smile back at him. "Merry Christmas Jace."

And just like that, he pulls me in once again.

******************************

A/N: Damn. Why am I crying? Oh my lord, I'm crying so hard. I started crying when I wrote what Celine said to Julia.

I think its just my hormones.

This chapter means the absolute world to me. The emotions I feel are unexplainable.

I'm sorry if you don't feel anything out of it. You should, because I do.

Gonna get a tissue,

I love you all ❤
