The Christmas Present

After breakfast Mitch followed Sharni to her house. She let them in and led the way into the living room. Gesturing for him to take a seat she sat down next to him.

“Do you want to watch a movie?” she said her eyes on his mouth.

“Sure” he said.

But making no attempt to turn on the tv Sharni leant forward and kissed him. As Mitch folded his arms around her she sighed against his mouth.

Several minutes later Mitch moved back and teased “I like this movie.”

She laughed and picking up the remote she made herself comfortable against him and turned on the tv. Mitch wrapped an arm around her waist.

For the next couple of hours they watched old Christmas movies which was about all that was on. Not that it mattered, they missed large chunks of them anyway as they became lost in numerous kisses.

“Do you have to do anything to get ready for tomorrow?” Mitch asked later that afternoon.

“I just have to make a salad.”

He nodded “are you busy for both lunch and dinner?”

“No just lunch” Sharni said “you?”

He grimaced “just dinner.”

“Damn” she said.

“I could come by afterwards.”

“I’d like that” Sharni said.

He smiled “me too” and lowering his head he met her mouth once more.

It was after midnight before Mitch left. He’d said he wanted to be the first to say Merry Christmas to her and Sharni wasn’t about to argue. She didn’t want to say goodbye to him at all.

When she’d shut the door on him she remembered how she’d mused when they’d first met that he’d make a hell of a Christmas gift and with a smile she realised she was right. After spending the evening kissing him all she could think about was unwrapping him.
