Falling for you in every universe

Part 30

I went downstairs and the guests were starting to come in. I welcomed everyone inside and talked a little bit with all of them. Eventually we started to eat food and I was sitting next to Mateo and one of my closest cousin that I have. She is around my age and lives in Spain as well but just in another town so we don't really see each other that often but I do talk to her from time to time.
As we were coming to an end eating we decided to open the presents. Some of us had already opened some of our presents but som hadn't opened one of them, including me. I got some presents from my parents, grandparents and some of my cousins gave me presents as well.
Then I gave my gift to Mateo. "Aquí está tu regalo. (Here is your gift)" I said and give him that Barca shirt. He slowly opened it and saw all of the autographs. "woaww, graciasss Lena (thank you Lena)" he said and hugged me in one second. After that gift, his smile didn't fade away for one second and he took on the shirt directly. I know he's just a child, but never did I thought I would be this grateful to have a sibling.

The time went on, Mateo went to sleep because he was pretty tired. It was now only my aunts and uncles left there and they were having a conversation with my parents. So I decided to leave as well. The clock was 8pm and Bella with Pedri was already at Pablo's house. I took all of their presents and put on a coat and went over to Pablo. It wasn't that cold so I took a walk there, it isn't that far away for me either way.

I arrived and knocked on the door and Bella opened it for me. "heyyy, gurl" she said and gave me a hug. "hii" I replied. "I'm literally gonna fall asleep soon. My social battery is soon coming to an end" I said to her and she laughed. "well, I would also be that if I had almost all of my relatives over." She replied. "let's go, they are in the livingroom" she said and we went to the living room where Pablo and Pedri sat.
"hello milena" pedri Said to my and I said hello and wished him merry Christmas. "and you too" he replied.

Sat down next to Pablo as I rested my head on his shoulders. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and asked if Mateo appreciated his gift. "not only that. He refuses to take it off now. You made his day" I said and he laughed. His beautiful dimples came as he laughed. "mini-milena, huh?" He said and I hit him on the shoulders. "don't say I'm stubborn, cause I ain't" I said and he just kept quiet which made me laugh. "soooo, what are our plans?" Pedri asked as he was done playing something on the tv. "let's eat first and then we can play the Christmas gift game and open the gifts." Pablo said.

We sat down at the table and the only thing I could get into me right now was only ice cream. I ate a little bit too much back at my home so I only ate some ice cream. I always have some space left for it. "when are your friends arriving tomorrow?" Pedri asked. "like in afternoon ish. So they'll be here for our mini friend's dinner-evening" I replied.
We ate, laughed and had some fun at the table and then me and Pablo gave our Christmas gifts to Bella and Pedri as they gave some to us. Bella's mom was waiting for the two of them so we didn't have that much of time together in the end.  But that's alright, we would continue the dinner tomorrow either way.
"bye guys" Bella waved goodbye to us and they went to their car.

"only the two of us left now" Pablo said as he closed the door. "should I be worried?" I asked him jokingly. "definitely" he said and as I was walking back he held me by my waist and spun me back to him. "when you get extra fixated, it's even harder to take eyes off you." He said as he was looking at my eyes. It would be wrong of me to say that I'm used to his compliments because they blush me always. No matter much I'll be with him.

I gently moved forward and started to kiss him. He laid his lips to mine, kissing me slowly and softly. The world turned around us, blurring and disappearing as it always does when I kiss him. "where is my surprise?" I asked out of nowhere. I forgot that he said he'd give something special for me and of course I remembered it in the middle of our perfect kiss. And so Pablo started to laugh. Am I that funny? Hope he thinks I'm funny all the time so I can see that beautiful laugh. "your gift first" he then said and I took the small rings out of my bag. They were wrapped up so he didn't see them. As he started to open I could see his smile and how excited he was. "Are you proposing to me?" He asked when he saw a box for rings. I laughed. "nope." I replied as he opened them. They were silver since I like silver more than gold. And in each of them there was our names on in the inside of the rings. "it's promising rings. Just a smile piece that shows my love I will have for you, forever" I said and smiled. He then looked at me with that 'you deserve the world' look and then hugged me. "gracias, amor. te amo sobre todo. (thank you love. I love you most of all)" he said. I also gave him the small rame with our first taken photo together back when he was 18 and I was 17 which he was very grateful over as well.

"your gift now" I said clapping my hands of excitement. "Let's go then." he said and held my hand as we went upstairs to his room. I sat down at his chair and he pulled it out of his closet. "nice work by packaging." I said and smiled. He sat down in front of me and I slowly started to open it. "this isn't the biggest out of them, I'll give you your second one after you open this one" he said and I curiously opened my gift. It was flat but as I opened it I saw that it was in an envelope. I opened the envelope and took out the two papers lying in there. One where it stood "Taylor Swift - The eras tour tickets" and the second one was "TVD reunion - Mystic falls". I quickly stood up with one hand on my mouth as I was so shocked.

I have never met or went to any of TVD reunions and as their biggest fan this was the best gift ever. Plus being able to go to my favourites artists concert with my boyfriend is a dream come true. He is making my dreams come true. I jumped on Pablo to hug him and he felt back on his bed. We were lying down as I was still hugging him. "I don't know how you could get these tickets but thank you for making my dreams come true. Couldn't wish for anything more" I said and gave him like a thousand kisses. "can't say more than that you deserve them" he said and smiled.

I sat down on his lap with his legs between mine and he sat down as well. "and here is the second one" he said and gave me small box with a rosette on it. I unfolded the rosette and opened the box. It was the kind of name tag that all doctors wear with their surname. But this one was special, because it was pink. "As a kid I always played with doctor instruments that were for kids and I'd always tell my parents that one day I'd be a doctor with a pink name tag on my doctor uniform." he said and I directly got the tears running down my cheeks. "you remember when you said it?" he asked and I nodded while tears running down my cheeks of happiness. "you where there?" I asked as I relaxed more and my voice was cracking now. I have never had someone who appreciated me this much. "You really think I could miss your happiest day?" He asked me and I let out a small laugh in between my tears. That sentence he just said was a sentence I said in my speech when I graduated. I didn't know he was there until this day. I looked sideways so he wouldn't see all of my makeup and myself destroyed now and I tried to remove all my tears running down. I can get emotional so easy and this was the best thing I've ever experienced so far in my life.

His hand tilted my face back to him. "I really wanted to make your childhood dream come true. Everyone deserves that" he said and another round of tears wanted to come. "Stop Pablo. This is too much" I said and laughed because he gave me to much love right now. Are there men like him outside anymore? Or do I have the one and only?
