It hurt. Like physically hurt me, trying to keep myself away from opening the gift. I couldn't though. Xander told me not to open it until I get home and I was just minutes away.

Work had let out by five and Ryan had to meet up with a family member so I had to go home by myself. Once the cab pulled to a stop in front of my house and I paid, I got out and quickly made my way into the building.

Once I was inside the apartment and I had made sure the locks were in, I took off my clothes and had a quick shower, slipping into a pair of joggers and an old band tshirt. I let my hair fall around my face, sighing at the freedom of my curls.

I wondered what was in there. What had he gotten for me? Especially the big one. I got onto my bed and picked up my phone.

To Xander : I just got home. I'm opening the presents now.

Xander's response was immediate.

From Xander : Alright, baby. Hope you like your them.
