Chapter XIV- Many Happy Returns
Alexa gazed through the large bow-type bay window of the living room, her sapphire blue eyes dancing with delight as she knelt on the small, cushioned seats that lined the inside. Outside, the snow was falling, and the evening street looked absolutely magical. Everything was covered in shining white snow, and Christmas lights were wrapped around trees and bordering many of the houses.
She was used to snow in Europe, of course, but this was her first Christmas in her real home, here in Toronto, and to say she was excited would be a minor understatement. The room was nice and warm because of the fire in the fireplace, and she was wearing tight white yoga pants that captured every one of her amazing curves, and then a snug, light red sweater on top, accented with silvery snowflakes. Her glorious blonde hair spilled down her back in sensuous waves.
The stereo system behind her broke out into a song.
"
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
You, baby
!"
Unable to contain her elation, Alexa squealed in delight, jumped off the bay window and began dancing around the room and singing to the song. She grabbed the karaoke microphone, pointing to members of the invisible audience around the room while serenading them. Singing and dancing made her so very happy. She sang along with the melody, prancing around the large room, jumping on and off the furniture.
"
All I want for Christmaaaaaas, is youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
" she belted out with the final note of the song, her eyes closed as she pointed at the ceiling. As the music faded, she heard slow clapping behind herself and turned around. Mike and Karen were both standing there, the huge blond man grinning and clapping while her older sister looked on in amusement. Alexa's brain immediately engaged her possible reactions to being caught.
Response A: Blush in embarrassment at being caught (yet again) dancing around and singing like a dork.
Response B: Throw yourself into wild hugs and hope the incident is forgotten because of your exuberance.
The B response kicked in rapidly.
Alexa laughed gaily and threw herself against her titan brother-in-law and hugged her tight, even though her arms didn't quite fit around his chest completely. Mike chuckled and hugged her back, enveloping her completely. She then sprung out of his grasp and hugged Karen, giving her a rather un-sisterly kiss.
"Mmm, a little excited about our first Canadian Christmas, are we?" the older woman asked as she managed to disengage from the decidedly wet lip-lock. "At least you're wearing clothing this time, instead of dancing around the room in your underwear like a lunatic. Not that I blame you for the enthusiasm, mind. Christmas is always fun around this place."
"I believe it," Alexa said giddily, holding her sister's hand and bouncing up and down so her abundant breasts jiggled. "I mean, we're helping at the shelter on Christmas Day, we're in the concert at Convocation Hall, Alex has promised to take me for some snowball fights, and skating at City Hall..."
"Well, your dance card is full now, isn't it?" Mike chuckled, picking up the shopping bags he'd been carrying and hauling them off. "No peeking, Alli."
"Promise!" she called back, waving before hugging her sister again. Karen sighed contentedly. It was good to have her little sister back in her life, even if she understood that the New Year would bring many unpleasant challenges for them all. For now, there was just the holiday and their time together.
"Finished all your shopping?" the older sister asked as they walked hand-in-hand into the kitchen.
"A couple of more minor things to take care of, but the big stuff's done," Alexa replied, smiling and sitting at the kitchen island while Karen began rummaging around for drink ingredients. "Y'making one of those Grinch cocktails of yours?"
"Mais bien sΓ»r," Karen said cheerfully as she fished out the lime juice and ginger ale from the fridge. Alexa loved listening to her sister and her nephew speak French. "Be a dear and grab the Pernod and the Midori from the rack, will you?"
"Any particular vintage for the absinthe?" the blonde girl asked.
"Oh, just a nondescript one, try not to grab anything over ten years, though." Karen replied, finding the cherries and then getting the martini glasses. "Should I prep one for Alex?"
