"Your turn," Alec smirked.
He relaxed on the bean bag and looked at Irene, "Dear Irene, why do you like Nora?."
She sat up on the cushion where she and Will had snuggled up on.
She sighed, "To be frank, I didn't like Nora at first, she was saucy and mean, she acted so important, and then she's one lucky bitch. When she first came, she acted like she was more important than any one of us, damn she got promoted so fast and the boss liked her."
"I didn't know I was that bitchy to anyone," I said, feeling sad.
"You were so fucked up that all the girls wanted to kill you."
My eyes rose, "Really?"
"You wouldn't blame me because I got that way after my mom died."
"I think that was what attracted me to her," Zavi said, pulling my cheek.
"No. Don't lie, you thought I was Anita." I told him.
"At first, I thought so, but then I buried Anita myself, I checked on her every month, and besides, Anita wasn't so daring…you were so brave and my kind of bitch." He kissed my lips.
"Alright, enough. You two are always dirty-minded." Alec interrupted us as I pushed my face away from Zavi to look back at him.
"William, what about you?."
"Aah! She's noisy, I wonder why Zavi likes her." He replied and I frowned.
"That's why I will never forgive you."
He laughed.
Alec turned to Zavi, "I could have asked Zavi but he's gonna give us history. " I giggled and played with his hair.
"Becca babe, tell us.do you like Nora?."
I waited.
"From the little I've seen, she's not boring. She smiles a lot, I don't know about her anger issues."
"Did you know Nora once shot me?." Zavi suddenly asked, I almost hit his head for bringing that up.
"Don't ever get on her bad side, she's crazy when she's angry."
Alec grinned, "Are you talking about how she broke your nose and almost lit fire to your room?."
It was fun, I was happy listening to all the things I did to Zavi. He deserved it though.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side," Becca told me.
"Okay, you all said what you love about me except for Alec and Zavi," I stated.
"You're sexy." Zavi began.
"And beautiful." Alec joined.
"Hell, you're a crazy woman," Zavi added.
"You're brave and strong." Alec continued.
"You have a good heart and you're a crybaby."
"We love everything about you." Alec finished. Zavi looked at him, "I am not sharing my girlfriend." Alec smirked and gave him the middle finger.
The evening with my friends was so good. They were my friends and now became family.
***
Christmas morning.
I continued humming a Christmas song, even though Will asked me to shut up, I loved trouble and he enjoys it sometimes, I even made it so annoying to his ear.
"What are you making?." He asked me.
"Christmas cookies."
"That's good though I don't think you know how to do anything."
He never leaves a good review without having to put an insult to the end.
"At least my boyfriend knows how to do everything for the both of us." I boasted, he rolled his eyes and left the kitchen.
"Christmas morning, jingle bells, jingle all the way!." I screamed.
"Shut the fuck up, Nora!." He yelled.
I laughed.
"Where's my baby?." I heard Zavi's voice ring out from the sitting room. I threw the kitchen grove into the sink and ran outside.
My face lit up as I went into his wide arms.
"I've missed you, sweetheart," I said, inhaling his expensive perfume. He smelt like lavender.
"What have you been doing?."
"Trying to make cookies."
He grabbed my cheek, "Oh my baby, you're growing fast." He teased as I giggled like a two-year-old being given chocolate.
"How's your day?."
"Stressful, I couldn't wait to come home."
"I kinda hated you working on Christmas morning. Hey guys, we should all go to church, it's Jesus's birthday."
Alec chuckled and walked past me.
"Are you kidding me, Nora?." Will asked from the sitting room.
"She wants to go to church after sexual intercourse this morning," Alec added.
"Maybe that's her way of praying." Will said after him.
I turned..
"Shut up, you jealous freaks. Who the fuck here doesn't like a good fuck?. After all, I heard Irene trying to bring down this building yesternight with her, 'oh go on daddy, do it, daddy, fuck me, daddy." I retorted shutting Will up.
"As for you, Alec. What was that with you banging Becca in your car at night? Can't you get a room or something?."
"You win, Nora. You always win." Alec shouted back.
Zavi laughed and turned me around.
"You always have something to say." He said, pinching my nose lightly.
"They keep on getting on my nerves. Have you eaten something? I ordered pasta" I took him to the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen, he carried me and placed me on the counter.
"This is our first Christmas together. I have a surprise for you." He mumbled to me.
"Oh, baby. You've given me too many surprises, I can't have all the things in the world."
He pinched my nose, "This is the best surprise ever. It's gonna be a banger."
I grinned, "I can't wait."
"I have something to say but I don't want you to worry. I was gonna tell you when everything's settled down."
I wonder what he had to say, with the way he was telling me about it.
I try not to get worried.
"Whatever it is, I hope it will be better."
We were interrupted by Becca walking into the kitchen.
"Hey lovebirds. Nora, hi." She waved. She was carrying a box. The last time I talked to her was on my birthday, she came by yesterday and she and Alec stayed in the car.
"I didn't have time to come since that day, here is your birthday present. I made that dress myself." She said and handed me a nylon which had ``Becca's glow.' on it.
Hehehe. I have too many dresses already.
I took out a red no-hand gown. It was simple and very pretty.
"You made this?." I asked, admiring her handwork.
"It's so beautiful, you'll have to make all of the dresses then. It's so beautiful."
"I'm glad you liked it."
"I love it."
Zavi only smiled, dishing out his pasta at the other end.
I came down from the counter and led Becca away.

I and Becca were still speaking when Irene came shouting…
"It's ready guys. It's time for presents."
