I always found wrapping presents a waste of time. Even if my idea of wrapping was what others might consider more as scrunching paper around the gift. What can I say? Santa’s elves are busy little things. Of course, now that the girls were older I did put more effort in, or at least used more tape. There was a distinct difference between the pile that I’d wrapped and the pile that Willow and Jake had artfully done themselves. Although my pile was definitely bigger than theirs.

Quincy had dropped off her presents a couple of days ago and just like that we were a few days away from Christmas. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited. I was also shitting my pants because what was meant to be a just us and the girls day had become an us, the girls and the rest of the family day. So now we were essentially hosting Christmas for both of our families. Yep, I was definitely bricking it. Mum had an inability to keep her thoughts to herself, which meant that at some point she was bound to say something completely inappropriate to Quincy. Not that she wasn’t used to it but now that we were an item I knew that certain things would land differently in her ears, and neither of our mothers knew what reserved meant when they were together. I was definitely shitting it.

The only people missing were Jenna and Richard and that for sure was not happening, although according to Dorian it was a future possibility. I wouldn’t hold my breath on it though.

I could still hear her nagging just remember what’s best for the girls. I’m pretty sure the best wasn’t being in a room with both of your parents glaring at each other.

“Earth to Jamie? Oi, Dickhead!” Jake hollered as I just about dodged the roll of cellotape tape careening at my head.

“What the fuck? I heard you.” I reached for the tape roll and threw it back at him. “I swear to God, you’re such a fucking twat.”

He shrugged as he folded the wrapping paper flap over the side of the rectangular gift and taped it down. “Yeah, well so are you.” He put the present neatly on top of the others. “So now that Quincy’s choking your salami what’s the pla—”

“Really? You’re such an arse.” Willow snapped at him before I could even say anything. “What’s wrong with you? For such a smart guy you’re so stupid!”

“Did you hear what you just said?” He looked at her and then at me. “Plus, you know your opinion doesn’t count, right?”

“’Cause I’m a woman?”

Jake looked her up and down like he was assessing whether she was in fact a female, “No, because you’re Vegan.” He muttered in disgust. “Weirdo.”

“You’re such a prick.” She spat at him before glaring at me, “Why him? Of all the guys out there why’d you have to be friends with him?”

“You were both playing so nicely.”

He let out a loud laugh as he said, “She wishes we were playing.
