Merry Hot Christmas
Who: Skylar and Ben
Where: Bale Estate
When: Christmas Eve
"Skylar?" Ben called out, as he finished putting the finishing touches on their Christmas decorations. Yes, they technically had a live-in nanny/maid, but things like this? Ben enjoyed. Shut up. He wore light blue jeans, an old, comfy Van Halen '5150' t-shirt, and a red bandanna as he hung a huge wreath with the names of all his favorite relatives on the door to the living room. "You remember to leave that envelope in Helena's room?" Yes, they were surprising the woman with a check for... well... we'll just say it was roughly enough to buy a fancy car or something comparable in one shot.
Skylar nodded as she came down the stairs and walked into the living room. "Yeah, it's on her pillow on her bed, so she can't miss it," she said, walking up and giving Ben a quick kiss on the cheek. She would tease him about liking to do the Christmas decorating himself, but it was totally cute.
"Good. She's done a great job with the kids. She deserves it." Ben gave her a quick glance, grinning. "You know... dumb as it sounds, I swear every time I see you, it's like I remember all over again how fucking sexy you are?"
"Well, let's hope you keep thinking that ten years from now," Skylar joked. Of course he would, though. Skylar, as we all know, ages gracefully and totally hot.
"Well... I'm not exactly planning on trading you in for a newer model, if that's what you're thinking..." He smirked, giving her a playful-but-hard smack on the ass. "And what's Brandie up to? She hasn't made a sound all night..."
She laughed. "Well, I think she's actually out with her boyfriend," Skylar pointed out to him. She remembered Brandie leaving a little earlier in the evening, and really, where else did that girl go these days?
"Oh. Fantastic. Spending Christmas with the Creepy Little Bastard." He grumbled, trying not to get too aggravated. He wasn't sure WHY he didn't like Julian, but he suspected it was a mix of not thinking ANY boy was good enough for Brandie, the weird vibe the boy gave off... and the fact that he reminded Ben of Ash.
Skylar snorted. "She'll be back in time to hang out with her family," she pointed out. She got the distinct feeling that that boy had little in the way of family to spend the holidays with, so she wasn't going to fuss at Brandie too much. "And you are SO amusing when you get grumpy and protective."
"I can't help it. Brandie's a good kid... I just think she deserves better." She shook his head then, as though that was the sign that this part of the conversation was over. "So... any chance there's a naked blonde succubus under the tree this year?" He asked teasingly.
"She adores him and he adores her and doesn't hurt her in any way," Skylar pointed out simply. "Now, the second he does, he's dead, but hopefully it won't come to that." That shouldn't be so hot, should it? Anyways..."Maybe...suppose I should ask her, first."
"That would TRULY make this the most awesome Christmas ever..." He said with a playful laugh, bringing her to him again to just... lovingly hold her. "I still have a hard time believing I'm a father and a husband now..."
"Kind of freaky, isn't it?" Skylar joked. Of course, she was a mother now as well, which, considering that, a couple of years ago, she had only ever slept with women, was something a little strange to her as well.
"Freaky... But wonderful." He admitted with a laugh. "So, obviously once we settle in for the evening I have a bunch of gifts for you... But the big one I have to just tell you about for now." He grinned, proud of himself here. "Next month. You. Me. No kids. On a week-long cruise to the Virgin Islands, where I hope to make the name of the place completely ironic by the time we leave."
"I can live with freaky and wonderful," Skylar said playfully. When he explained just what the family's Christmas present was, she giggled, especially at his crack about the Virgin Islands. "Well, I was hardly a virgin before we go," she told him in a joking manner.
"I meant... We'll leave no virgins left there in our wake." He laughed. "It'll be a great time, to enjoy just US."
That made her cackle"OK, now I get what you mean," she said to him. "I can certainly get with that. A great time to enjoy us being us."
"I hope you like it. Merry Christmas." He said, kissing her adoringly on the lips.
"Merry Christmas," she said before kissing him back.
