Chapter 6

And so the holidays are upon us. It had been two weeks since Tom had done
his video for YouTube after the horrible miss quote during his interview in
Brazil. The reaction had been incredible and the news coverage and the
press coverage had been out of this world. But now it had settled down and
the whole world now knew that Tom and I were as strong as ever and in no
way did Tom have any feelings for women. As for Jack, well his relationship
with Jake had really taken headway. They had been really fallen for each
other to the point where Jack was staying in Coventry for 5 nights out of 7
and was now training in Coventry with Tom so that he and Jake could see
more of each other. But now the holidays were here and Christmas was only 4
days away and for the first time in the year that Tom and I had been
together we were having Christmas at our house with a lot of people
invited, naturally. Tom and I had discussed it and we both thought it was a
great idea because it meant we could finally open up the dining room and
kitchen area and turn it into a big open plan room. We had hired a large
dining table with 10 chairs from the same company we had previously bought
our dining table from and they had managed to the table and the chairs to
the current ones we already had. In total we were having 20 people over for
Christmas. That being, myself and Tom, Jake and Jack, My mum and dad, my
sister, her partner and my nephew. Then we had my aunty, uncle and cousin,
followed by Jake's mum, dad, little sister, little brother and older
brother and then Tom's mum and his 2 younger brothers. So it was going to
be a full house. Jack had agreed to see his mum and dad on Christmas Eve
and they were happy with that. I had invited them down but they declined
saying that they couldn't let the rest of their family down. I think Jack
was a bit bummed out that they couldn't come, but he was the one who say
that he wanted to spend Christmas with Jake which I thought was sweet.

So now here I sat on the sofa on my own, while Jake was at work, Tom and
Jack were training and I was sat with a notepad and pen completely blank of
what I had to do and buy in time for Christmas. In terms of presents, Tom
and I had finished and wrapped them all. We had certainly bought a lot of
presents and had spoilt our families and friends. Then I had gone way over
board with Tom's presents and he had done the same with me judging by the
number of presents that were under the tree. Well it was only right that I
look. We had bought plenty of gifts for Jake's family and had spoilt Macey,
his 5 year old sister. Dale his older brother who was a year younger than
me we had bought plenty for and Tyler who was Jake's younger brother aged
17 we had got him a lot of stuff to go with his hobby and college course
which was photography. I was happy with what we had got everyone and so was
Tom. Our 8 foot Christmas tree was very nicely decorated, although I cant
take all the credit as we ordered the tree from Harrods along with the
lights and decorations and then paid that little bit extra for them to come
and decorate it for us. As for dinner, tom had suggested we bring someone
in to cook it for us, as had made friends with a great number of celebrity
chefs since Tom and I had taken part in a celebrity vs. celebrity chef cook
off show which ran every Sunday night. 2 celeb chefs would work with 2
celeb couples and create the perfect meal. Kind of like ready steady cook
but a bit more interesting. I had worked with Gordon Ramsey whilst Tom had
cooked with Marco Pierre White. That was a lot of fun, and I had beaten Tom
into the ground with that one. But I had said that I wanted to cook the
Christmas dinner myself. We had ordered 2 giant turkeys, each one could
feed 15 people but I thought it best to get 2. I had also ordered all the
veg from a local market trader that Tom and I knew, and he was bringing
round everything from Potatoes to Brussels sprouts. There was only 2 kinds
of veg that Tom and I had both agreed we had to buy ready prepared and just
needed to be put in the oven, and they were red cabbage which I bought from
M+S, we all loved it and then parsnips - they had to be Aunt Bessie nothing
else would do. So I began writing my shopping list, it wasn't going to be
massive but it was going to be big, what with all the alcohol we needed and
then deserts and everything else. Jake's mum had kindly offered to buy the
table settings (on my card of course) and then come over on Christmas Eve
to set the table. The things she had ordered were simply divine I couldn't
have done a better job. So once I finished my list I grabbed my car keys
and coat and headed out the door. On Boxing Day we were going flying over
to the Seychelles where we could see in the remainder of Christmas and
celebrate New Year and we had organised for Jake and Jack to join us. So a
massive amount of food wasn't needed as we were going to be gone for 2
weeks. So I jumped in the car and drove off to Tesco and the place was
packed when I got there. I grabbed a trolley and away I went around the
shop, picking everything out I needed for the dinner that everyone wouldn't
forget. As I finished off the food I rounded the next aisle where all the
alcohol was kept. I started to pick some wines, red, white and rose. Then
beers and spirits and ciders followed by mixers and some fruit juices and
the trolley was over flowing. I couldn't believe it. I managed to push it
to a checkout and unload it and as I was heading down to start packing I
saw my mate Daniel at the end of the checkout already packing it for
me. "Hello Stranger." I said giving him a hug. "Thought you could use a
hand" he said smiling. "Thanks, yeah I'm feeding 20 people on Wednesday." I
said. "Christ, that's a lot. Well ill see you tomorrow anyway. Before you
do your mad feast." He explained while packing my shopping. "You shall
indeed, it will no doubt be the last time I see you before Christmas." I
replied. "Yeah your right." He replied. The woman continued to scan things
and on the last item finished scanning and then pressed enter. "Okay sir,
that's ?376.98" she said. Dan looked at me in shock. "WHAT HAVE YOU
BOUGHT?" he exclaimed. I put my debit card in the machine and the
transaction went through before I removed my card and headed out the doors
and out to the car. "There was a lot of wine and alcohol there you know." I
said. He smiled. "I know but your going on holiday on Thursday you didn't
need that much." Dan said as we loaded it in the car. "Guaranteed that all
goes." I said as we put the last bits in. "True with everyone you have
going round." He said. I smiled as both sparked up a fag.

The 3 days before Christmas flew by. It was now Christmas Eve. Tom had
taken off to the gym in the morning while I cleaned the house from top to
bottom and done loads of washing and ironing and changed all the
bedding. Even though we had a 3 bedroom house the only people staying was
Jake and Jack. My family and Tom's family were all staying in a hotel in
town and were driving into us in the morning and Jake's family were driving
into us in the morning as well. All the washing I was trying to get done
was our holiday clothes in time for Thursday and Jake and Jack had brought
a load of stuff they wanted washing as well. On top of that I had suitcases
to pack and everything to put together for the holiday. It was madness. But
by 6pm the house was sparkling and the suitcases were ready. I had all of
our passports and tickets and mine and Tom's spending money and I had
called the Banyan Tree hotel in the Seychelles to confirm our room
assignments. We had been allocated two luxury villas by the sea front. It
was going to be paradise. At half 7, I took off to pick up Rachael, Jake's
mum, so she could help me out with the table and the prepping. My family
were on their way to Coventry but got caught in traffic as were Tom's mum
and brothers. When I brought Rachael back we both went into overdrive. She
started on the table while I began on the mountain of potatoes we had to
prepare and then the sweet potatoes afterwards. By the time she had
finished the table with all the plates, cutlery and glasses and all the
decorations and napkins I had finished all the potatoes and had 3 pans all
set to go, thank god my cooker had 6 rings. She started on the carrots and
sprouts while I did the broccoli and cauliflower and we chatted away and
talked about the day to come. We both then prepared a turkey each and put
the two turkeys in the fridge once prepared. Lastly I went ahead and made
stuffing balls and arranged them on a tray and before popping them in the
fridge as well. This meant that all I had to do in the morning was cook, no
prep work needed. At 9pm just as we were tidying up the door bell
rang. "Tom will you get that?" I called out. He went to the door and I
heard a mixture of hello's and hi's from my mum and dad, and his mum and
brothers. "Just wanted to pop in and see you before we go to the hotel." My
mum said as she entered the kitchen. "Hi." I said drying my hands. "Mum you
remember Rachael." I said. "Of course Jake's mum." She said giving her a
hug. "How have you got on?" my dad asked giving Rachael a kiss on the
cheek. "Pretty good, we are all set for the morning now. All I have to do
is turn everything on and cook. Everything is prepped." I said "WOW I like
the table, who did this?" Tom's mum asked. "I did." Rachael said all proud
and happy. "Looks fantastic!" my mum said. "Is there a seating
arrangement?" Jake asked from the door way. "Yep, Tom and James at the head
of the table on each end, then from James's end, Jake, you and Jack, then
Tessa and Royce, Dale and Tyler and me, Macey and Darren. Then you get to
Tom, then on the other side, George at the end, then Sarah, Scott, Lee,
Caroline, Niamh, Debbie, Sam and Will. All the places have name tags."
Rachael told them all. "Well this looks brilliant, but we will have a
better look tomorrow. James are you all set for Thursday?" my mum
asked. "Yep, all the cases are packed and ready, I have passports, tickets
and money." I said. "Lucky shits, all going off to the Seychelles in the
sun straight after Christmas." Debbie said. "Well it was Tom's idea, blame
your son." I said smiling as he came to stand next to me. "Well we need to
get to the hotel and I'm sure Rachael wants to get home." My mum
said. "Indeed I have some last minute wrapping to do." Rachael said. "Right
so when shall we come round?" my mum asked. "Be here for 11, then we can
have dinner for 12 and do presents in the afternoon if everyone is okay
with that." I said. No one answered me. "By the silence I'm assuming your
okay with that." I said. "Yeah son, sounds fine." My dad said. I smiled; he
always was the one to break the silence. "Right then see you in the
morning." They all said as everyone took off for the door. "Rach grab your
coat and ill get you home." I said to her as everyone was leaving. "Right."
She said. I smiled and we all went to get our bits. Tom, Jake and Jack
headed for the lounge while I got my phone and fags and keys and headed for
the door. We jumped into the car and I took her home and headed back to
mine afterwards. By the time I got back it was 10 and the only person left
awake was Jack. Jake and Tom had both gone to bed but Jack wanted to wait
up for me. "Hey." I said as I finally dropped onto the sofa he was on and
sat next to him. "Hey, you did a great job tonight. This dinner is going to
be amazing." He said. "I know, I can't wait." I said. He cuddled into me as
a sparked a fag. "Hey what's up with you?" I said as he began cuddling
me. "Nothing your just good to cuddle." He replied. I put my arm around him
and smiled as sat like that until I was done with my fag. Once done I put
it out and we headed up the stairs to bed.

The following morning I woke up at 9am, to find Tom fast asleep next to
me. "Merry Christmas Sexy." I said giving him light and gentle kisses to
wake him up. "Merry Christmas beautiful." He said waking up and kissing me
back. He finally sat up in bed and smiled. "Its Christmas morning." He said
kissing me. "Yep it is and we have lots to do." I said. He kissed and just
as we broke our kiss the door to the bedroom flew open and in came Jack and
Jake jumped on the bed and shouted "IT'S CHRISTMAS" whilst bouncing on the
bed like a pair of 5 year olds. "Good morning." I said having just right up
Jack's dressing gown to see him with no underwear on. They sat on the bed
and again I could see right up jack's dressing gown and we talked before we
headed down the stairs. They made themselves breakfast whilst I started on
the dinner. I heated the oven and put both turkeys in as they need 3 hours
to cook. Then I got everything else out like the stuffing, the Yorkshires
and parsnips and red cabbage and got them all ready to go before I finally
sat down and ate the bagel Jake had made me. By 11 we were all showered and
dressed as the fun began. At bang on 11am the door bell rang and the house
was filled within seconds. My mum and dad, my aunty uncle and cousin, then
my sister and nephew followed by Scott, then Tom's mum and brothers and
then lastly all of jakes family. Everyone went into the lounge and Jack,
Tom and I all went round serving drinks and celebrating with our loved
ones, the day felt so perfect. I was back and forth between the kitchen and
lounge, with all the mums coming in and helping me out. By 12:30 all the
family were sat around the table as we served up the dinner. It was divine,
the whole table was covered and everyone was happily tucking in and the
wine and food were going down very well. Dinner was done by 2pm and the
boys all loaded the dishwasher to allow me and the girls and Jack to
relax. At 3pm the present opening started accompanied by cocktails made by
Jake's mum and we all were so happy. Mum and dad got me vouchers for
shopping and spending money for the holiday and other little bits, tom got
me clothes and shoes and a new bag as well as a gorgeous chain with my
birth stone on it. I also got smellies and other little goodies like
chocolate. Tom was over the moon with what I had bought him and then once
everyone was done I finally disappeared to bring him his main present from
me. He opened the box with everyone watching him and inside was the watch
that he had seen not long ago but wouldn't buy as he said it was far too
expensive. It was an Armani bracelet watch that I had engraved to say,
'Here's to all our future dives. J x' he cried at this and everyone was so
happy. The entire feeling of Christmas in our home was just amazing for me
and having all of our families there was just incredible. Jack had bought
Jake clothes and given him money etc and for a main gift bought him a week
long intensive driving course, his provision licence and put the keys to a
brand new Audi A1 in the box which Jack said he could find when he was a
qualified driver. Jake got very emotional at this and I could tell he was
so happy.

That night after the day we had, everyone left to go home or to the hotels
by half 10 and we all cleared off to bed. Tomorrow was even busier for us
as we had the flight to catch and the holiday to go on. We all fell asleep
instantly as soon as we got to bed and were up again at 7am. We showered,
dressed and ate before the leaving the house at 9am in a chauffeur driven
car to Heathrow airport.  Once we arrived at the airport, checked in and
went through departures I did some duty free shopping getting some
cigarettes and alcohol and my favourite perfume that no one buys me as it's
like ?80.00 per bottle and then heading for the gate. Once boarded the
emirates flight and were seated in first class it didn't take long before
we were airborne. 7 hours later and we had landed, but not before tom and I
had joined the mile high club finally, and although they wouldn't admit it,
we knew that Jake and Jack had as well. After a slight transfer then
checking in at the hotel and unpacking, we all finally hit out private
beach. Once stretched out in the sand Tom turned to me and said "Merry
Christmas Babe." I smiled. "Merry Christmas to you as well my beauty." I
said as we kissed. "This is so relaxing and so well deserved." Tom
said. "Your right, we need this break." I replied as I sipped from my
cocktail. "I love you." I added. "I love you too." He replied back. I
smiled lay my head back down and breathed. 2 weeks fun in the sun, just
what I need.
