Chapter 31

                                    

                                          
Christmas Eve was finally upon us and I woke up wrapped in a tangle of legs and arms. 
                          
"Jesus Hanna, could you take up anymore room?" I asked her whilst trying to shove her off of me.
                          
She giggled slightly in response before pulling me in tightly, almost cutting my oxygen supply off. 
                          
"Get a room guys" Spencer shouted as she sat on the edge of the bed pulling Aria down next to her. 
                          
"More like get your own girlfriend" Ali responded with a bite to her voice.
                          
I struggled out of Hanna's arms and reached out to pull Ali on top of me. She fell with a groan and I smiled as I wrapped her into a tight embrace.
                          
"Where'd you go? I wanted to wake up next to you" I asked her.
                          
"What's wrong with waking up next to me?" Hanna said with a hint of hurt in her voice.
                          
"You're the wrong blonde sorry Banana" I replied but took her hand in mine and gave her a reassuring squeeze. 
                          
She laughed and finally sat up allowing me and Ali more space. I smiled widely at the scene before me. Waking up on Christmas Eve to all my friends with me, I couldn't ask for anything more. We'd spent the evening in Spencer's barn talking, laughing and playing games. Then we had fallen asleep in Spencer's bedroom, she had moved into the barn once Melissa her sister had moved to London. The barn consisted of a living room, bathroom, kitchen and one bedroom and was spacious enough to fit us all in. Ali, Hanna and I had shotgunned the bed and Aria and Spencer had taken the floor which was layered with blankets to keep them comfy.
                          
Alison had tried to have fun with me but every time we started to kiss Hanna would slap her away. Not that I would have allowed her to go any further with my friends in the room but it was funny seeing how turned on Ali was getting and her not being able to do anything about it.
                          
Today was about us. The five of us as a group. We were going to exchange gifts and watch Christmas films all day before all returning to our separate homes so that we could wake up on Christmas Day with our families. 
                          
"So what's for breakfast?" Hanna asked as she made a move out of the bed and stretched whilst yawning loudly. 
                          
"Pancakes courtesy of Spencer, Ali and I" aria replied.
                          
"Did you really think we'd allow you to wake up to no food? No one wants to put up with a grumpy Hanna, especially on Christmas Eve" Spencer added as she and Aria climbed off the bed and headed into the living room.
                          
Hanna couldn't contain her smile at the thought of food and bounced out of the room after the others which left me and Ali on the bed alone.
                          
"Finally it's just us two" Ali said with a smirk as she pushed me back into the bed and started to straddle me.
                          
I pouted at her as I put my hands on her waist and a look of disappointment mixed with amusement fell upon her face.
                          
"You're hungry aren't you" she asked me flatly. 
                          
I nodded and she got off me and walked out of the room without another word. Groaning I pulled myself off of the bed and followed behind her. Finding her stacking pancakes on a plate in the kitchen I wrapped my arms around her waist and snuggled my face into her neck. 
                          
"I'm sorry, I promise it will be just us two tomorrow night" I said but it was kind of muffled due to my mouth being attached to her neck.
                          
She turned around still in my grasp and passed the plate of pancakes to me and pointed to the living room.
                          
"It's ok babe, now go eat" she smiled as she pushed me slightly and followed me to one of the sofas. 
                          
"So we're opening presents after this right?" Hanna asked excitedly as she bounced up and down on the spot like... well like a kid at Christmas. 
                          
We all nodded in agreement, unable to talk due to the pancakes we had all happened to put in our mouths at the same time. 
                          
As soon as the last piece of pancake had been eaten off of Arias plate, by Hanna who was grumbling about her being slow and wanting to open presents right there and then. Hanna was shot a glare by Aria but just shrugged it off nonchalantly and walked over to the pile of presents that were under the tree. 
                          
"I'll be the elf and hand out the presents" Hanna said, a massive smile creeping across her face as she took her place next to the tree. 
                          
She picked up a present and read a label before groaning and chucking it at Spencer.
                          
"Careful Hanna, they could be fragile" Spencer yelled.
                          
"Oh shh mum" Hanna replied before grabbing a couple more presents and passing them exaggeratedly slowly and carefully to Aria and Ali. 
                          
She found one for me and another for her and we all looked at one another before nodding and ripping off the paper on our respective presents. 
                          
"Are you fucking kidding me Hanna?!" Spencer sighed as she looked at the present in her hands. 
                          
Hanna shrugged as if she didn't see what the problem was before the laugh she was trying to contain fell out and we all joined in laughing, tears rolling down our faces at the present and Spencer's rather unimpressed look on her face.

"I think it will suit you" Aria managed to get out as she stifled her laughs. 
                          
"You can fuck off as well" Spencer snapped but with a smile upon her face.
                          
Aria fake gasped before the laughing started u again, this time with Spencer joining in. A jumper held up in her hands that was covered in images of coffee beans.
                          
"Now you get to drink coffee and wear it" Hanna said with a smirk. 
                          
Spencer sighed before pulling the jumper on over her head and looking down at herself. She then looked back up at us questioningly and we all had to suppress the laughs that threatened to escape us yet again. Aria was the one to fail first and was met by a death glare from Spencer.
