Attached at the hip.

*Liam's POV*
It's about 9:00 am when I wake up, Savannah is still asleep, her head is on my chest and she looks so peaceful. I don't want to wake her, but it is Christmas Eve and I know Christmas is her favorite holiday, so she'd kill me if I didn't. I kiss the top of her head "morning beautiful" I whisper and her eyes flutter open.

"Morning Li" she says and looks up then kisses my cheek.

"How'd you sleep love?" I ask her and turn on my side so I can see her better.

She turns into her side as well and stretches her arms and yawns "for the first time in a while, so I'd say pretty well" she says and smiles up at me. God I've missed that smile of hers, I haven't seen it since we got the news and it's been a week, it's so hard not to see her smile.

"I'm glad, I actually slept pretty well, I haven't slept much lately either" I say and move her hair out of her eyes so I can see her beautiful eyes. "You ready for a night filled with food and Christmas movies?" I ask her and her face lights up.

"Beyond ready, I really could use some family time, especially if food and Christmas movies are involved" she says with a huge smile and then takes my arm and starts tracing my tattoos.

"Yeah, I think it'll really be nice considering everything...we could both use some family time" I say and kiss her nose. She crinkles her nose and giggles, her giggle is so cute.

"Exactly" she says and pauses. "...so, the other day...when you suggested we get a house together...did you mean it?" She asks looking down, I can tell she is nervous that I may not want to anymore or was just saying that.

"Of course I want to baby, do you have any neighborhoods in mind? Or types of houses?" I ask her and smile, lifting her chin to have her look at me.

Her smile returns and she thinks for a second "hmmm I don't really care about the neighborhood...but we need to make sure there are good schools around...or maybe we don't" she says and sighs.

"Baby, we can always adopt, or have a surrogate, don't rule out kids just yet okay? So a good school, what else?" I as and rub her arms

She nods and then continues "hmmm, a big yard, definitely two floors, I want it to have some character, and wood floors is a must" seeing her so excited over houses is freaking cute.

"And a big kitchen, with a huge master bedroom, and an even better master bathroom. Walk in closets for you, at least six bedrooms for the boys or family" I say, but we both know that the extra rooms are for our future kids.

"Babe...aren't our expectations kinda high? I mean...a house like this will cost a fortune..." She sighs

"Have you forgotten I have a fortune?" I remind her playfully and kiss her cheek "you let me worry about the money, you can worry about what you want it to look like okay?" I say and kiss her lips

I know she hates me paying for everything, but once we get married it will be our money so it's only a matter of time. I've been thinking about proposing a lot lately, but I know it would be a long engagement, maybe a few years, I don't think we should get married until we are at least 20 or 21.

"Yeah yeah I know, I have a hot rich boyfriend" she says with a laugh "not to mention he's so wonderful, and kind, and totally adorable" she says and kisses my nose. I laugh and admire her beauty, even though her hair is messy, she has no makeup on, and she still has bags under her eyes, she is still perfect to me. "What are you staring at? Is there something on my face?" She asks.

I laugh and shake my head "no, you're just really beautiful" I whisper "you're breathtaking, flawless, caring, and everything I could ever ask for in a woman" I say and lean in, giving her a nice long kiss. It's one of those kisses where we can tell the other what they need to hear just through the kiss. Our lips are like magnets, they don't want to pull apart, we haven't had a kiss like this in ages. Come to think of it, lately so much has been going on we haven't really gotten time to be a couple. Sure we cuddle a lot, but with the tour we never get to go on dates or anything. We finally pull away for air and she just smiles up at me

"I love you Li" she whispers in my ear and I wrap her in both of my arms and pull her against me

"I love you Savannah" I whisper

We stay like this for a while, it was a nice silence, not awkward or weird, just peaceful.

The rest of the day we spend time with the guys, Perrie, and El. We watch endless Christmas movies and have a gingerbread house competition to see who does it the best. Savannah works the girls, I'm on a team with Harry and Niall, and Zayn and Louis are a team. The girls win by a landslide, but hey, it's not our fault that they know how to work with icing and make things pretty. After that we make Christmas cookies, well Sav and Hazza do, they use the recipe from the bakery Hazza worked at when he was younger. Then we all decorate the cookies with icing.

After that we just hang out for a while and talk, it's nice to get to spend time with everyone and talk about something other than tour or paps. Savannah seems genuinely happy, I haven't seen her this happy since we first got home and it's nice. I'm sitting on the couch next to Niall and Savannah is next to me, el is sitting in Louis' lap in the arm chair, zayn and Perrie are in the love seat and harry is sitting on the floor in front of Savannah while she braids his hair.

When we finally decide to open gifts Savannah goes first, she got el a pair of riding boots she's had her eye on for a while, she got Louis a huge joke book since he is always telling us the same jokes, and a new pair of vans since his are overly worn out and have holes. She gets Harry a pair of haircutting scissors as a joke because she says he looks like a hooligan, along with a red Jack Willis hoodie since she knows he loves them. She gets Petrie a new purple curling iron and the naked 3 palette because she has been dying for them, and she got zayn a black leather jacket to 'add to his mysteriousness’. She really puts a ton of thoughts into her gifts. She gets Niall a nandos gift card and a pair of Ray bans that have the Irish flag on the side. She told me I have to wait for mine till tomorrow, which honestly doesn't surprise me. The last gifts that were passed out were louis', he got us all matching onzies and then something special for each of us, the onzies were more of a joke but we all loved them. We changed into them then posted a picture to Twitter

@Real_Liam_Payne: Merry Christmas everyone, don't we all look snazzy in our matching onzies?

Is what I tweeted and attached the picture too.

We hang out for a tad longer. But at about 11:00 we all head home because we need some sleep. When Savannah and I finally make it to bed we are both exhausted, she falls asleep right as she hits the bed and I'm not far behind her.

Come morning time I'm being shaken awake by an overly excited Savannah. "Liiiiii Wakey wake! Leeyyuuummmmmmm wake up, babbbyyyy" she pouts and then kisses my lips, that wakes me right up. But instead of opening my eyes I just start to kiss back and deepen the kiss.

"Merry Christmas Baby" I whisper against her lips and she smiles

"Merry Christmas babe" she says and kisses me again "now get your cute but up, the others are probably awake and I want some of your mom’s favorite Christmas pancakes!" She says and jumps out of bed still in her onzie.

"Alright alright I'm up" I groan before sitting up "but just one more good morning kiss?" I ask with a pout and she smirks.

"I suppose I could do that" she walks back over to the bed and climbs on top of me, straddling me. She leans down and plants a nice, long, passionate kiss on my lips. And when she bites my lip it takes everything in me not to get a hard on.

"I could get used to waking up like this every morning" I say with a smirk and she just laughs

"We'll see superstar, we'll see" she says and pecks my lips before getting off me and pulling me out of bed.

When we get downstairs my mom has already made her famous Christmas pancakes (she puts red and green food coloring in them) and is already getting ready for tonight's feast. Every Christmas my family and Savs family have Christmas dinner together and do gifts etc. after we eat we help my mom clean and cook to set up for tonight, and then we have some down time we watch some more Christmas movies and just lay on the couch cuddled up. After a while we go outside and build a snowman, and eventually this breaks out into a full on snowball fight. Savannah and my sisters again me and both of my sisters' boyfriends. Of course we win, they knew we would from the start, but it's cute that they tried.

After we eat lunch we decide to start getting ready, I don't need much time but Savannah does because she decided to dress up, which I think I will too, may as well match my lady.

Savannah has a simple red dress laid out on my bed. It's simple yet elegant and covers enough but she will still look hot. She goes to shower and comes back wrapped in a towel to grab her dress, she also grabs her bra and underwear then goes to change. She's so modest, she could change in front of me if she really wanted to, but hey, modesty is a rare thing and I don't mind it. She comes back out and I zip it up for her. I put on some khakis and a gray dress shirt with a red tie to match her dress.

I can't seem to tie my own tie so she does it for me "you look very handsome" she says and pecks my lips

"And you look positively stunning" I say and kiss her back. "Ready to stuff our faces?" I ask and wrap my arms around her waist.

"You have no idea, I have been looking forward to this night for a week" she says and we both laugh because we know it's true.

We walk downstairs and as we do Savannahs family arrives. We all eat and have an amazing time, we talk for and hour or so before opening gifts. I got Savannah a new iPhone since hers is beyond shattered, and got her a personalized case with her favorite picture of us on it. I whisper and tell her I have another gift for her upstairs, but I wanted is to be alone when I give it to her.

Savannah is all about the sentimental things, so it's no surprise that my mom got all of the T-shirts from different vacations we went on together as kids and turned it into a quilt for her. And her parents took all their home movies and transferred them to DVDs so she can watch them whenever she wants. My sisters got her a Polaroid camera since she loves taking pictures and anything old fashioned. After all these gifts Savannah cannot wipe the smile off her face.

Savannah got me some new earpieces, those ones we wear on stage, mine were really old so she got me a new pair and of course they are batman, she also got me the entire box set of how I met your mother, which is like my favorite show of all time. My mom and dad got me a personalized Xbox 360 controller that is gold chrome with the batman logo on the buttons. Savannahs parents got me a jersey from my favorite football team and my sisters got me a life proof case for my phone because they know I've broken my phone like four times this year.

After we finish passing out our gifts we help clean up and keep talking for a while. As Savannah and I walk from the kitchen to the living room we stop at the archway and just talk to everyone from in there. They all just look at us and start laughing and we are both beyond confused "look what you two are standing under" my mom says and we both look up. Savannah blushes and I smirk, I wrap my as around her waist and pull her close as she wraps her arms around my neck. "Merry Christmas babe" I whisper as we lean on and kiss. It isn't just a peck, but we aren't like making out, it's long enough for people to snap some pictures and for someone to get a picture with Savannah pilaroid, but we don't notice. It's like we are the only two people in the world right now and time has stopped.

We finally pull away and everyone is whistling and cracking jokes at us, savannah cheeks are bright red. We sit back on the couch, Savannah sits in my lap curled up with me and we talk for a little while more. I have my sister send me the picture she took of us under the mistletoe and post it on Twitter

@Real_Liam_Payne: Love getting to spend every Christmas with this beautiful girl! #friendssincechildhood #tradition

When we finally decide to call it a night we are all exhausted. Savannah walks into my room and just falls right onto my bed, she's so cute I swear "not so fast baby, I have another gift for you" I say and grab a small wrapped box from my closet

"What is it?" She asks and looks up at me

"Why don't you open it and find out?" I ask and smile as she rips it open. It's the key to my heart ring from James Avery

"Liam....it's beautiful..." She says as she looks at it

"But babe, I don't want this to be just any ring...this is a promise ring...I don't want to propose just yet because we are so young...so I want this to be a promise to you that one day I will propose, that I am yours, and that I love you more than words can begin to describe baby, I know that we've only been together for a few months...but we can both agree that this has been a long time coming, and I don't care if others think we are moving too fast. You are the love of my life and I want you to have this ring as a reminder of how much I love you babe" I say and she has tears in her eyes.

She hugs me tightly and puts it on "I love you so much Liam" she whispers "so so much" she says and kisses me deeply. I can't wipe the smile off my face, we finish getting changed and then we go to sleep wrapped up in each other’s arms.
