Merry Christmas, Everyone

Harry 4

It was Christmas Eve and my second day at Harry's moms house. Yeah, there was that mishap with Gemma yesterday but it honestly wasn't even that big of a deal. What else could go wrong, right?

It was around 9:30pm, we had just came back from mass and finished a rather large dinner. Harry's family was truly lovely, so kind and just all around good people. I was still extremely jet lagged, being California is 8 hours behind. Exhausted, I tugged on Harry's shirt as we sat on the couch in the living room in front of the fire place.

"Bed?" I looked at him with puppy dog eyes. Christmas was tomorrow and I wanted to be well rested and in a good mood. Neither of us slept well at all last night, mostly tossing and turning. Harry began rubbing my thigh before he nodded in agreement. I could see how tired he was, the bags under his eyes became noticeable, just like mine. The both of us stood up from the couch, but before going upstairs, Harry poked his head in the kitchen to say goodnight to his mom.

"Oh you can't go to bed now!" Anne said, back facing Harry. She was at the kitchen counter mixing something in a bowl, Des standing close by to help. "I was just making cookies! Grab Alex, you two could help." Overhearing the conversation, I wasn't going to be rude and say no- so I put on a fake smile and waltzed into the kitchen.

"Of course I'd love to help." I smiled. "You too Harry." He looked so exhausted, but not wanting to upset his mother he walked up next to her and looked over her shoulder to see what she was doing.

"Okay dear, just take all of these and put it in this bowl." Anne dropped a whole load of ingredients in front of me ranging from sugar, butter, eggs and almonds. I looked up at Harry to see if he had any idea on what to do - he was just as clueless as I was. Anne walked up to the fridge only to discover they had no more eggs. She peered into the other shelves hoping to find just a few more, but came out hopeless.

"I'm going to quickly run to the store, okay?" Harry and I nodded. "Listen, in five minutes take the cookies out of the oven, and put these in. It shouldn't be hard, plus Gemma will be back anytime now - she just headed off to her boyfriends for a quick visit." Des grabbed their coats and they started walking towards the front door. "Please don't forget." We heard it slam.

"Well, if it's 9:42 right now, and I'm pretty sure the cookies won't be done in exactly 5 minutes, so I'll set a timer for 9:50." Harry took my hand and brought me back into the living room where we laid back on the couch. It was almost instantaneous, as soon as our heads hit the couch cushions, both Harry and I fell asleep.

Abruptly, we both woke up to the sound of the smoke alarm blaring. The air was gray, foggy and it just smelled like burnt food. Harry and I both looked at each other before letting out a synchronized "Shit." We ran into the kitchen. While Harry rushed to turn off the stove, I opened some windows and right on que, both Anne and Des walked into the house.

"Harry!" Anne ran into the kitchen as she saw Harry holding a tray of completely charred black cookies - if those could even pass for cookies anymore. "If you were that tired, you shouldn't have agreed to help. This whole situation could've been avoided. Now we have company coming over tomorrow and I need to stay up to remake these."

"Mum, I...I mean...we...it was a mistake and... we're sor-" Harry choked. I could see how bad he felt. We really had no intention of falling asleep - it just...happened.

Trying to keep her composure, Anne grabbed the tray from Harry and dumped out it's remains into the trash bin. She opened the screen door before she looked at the both of us. "I can take it from here." Harry and I both gave each other the same, embarrassed look. Without saying a word, we both went straight to his room.

Now, laying in his bed together, bodies intertwined - neither of us wanted to go to sleep. We no longer felt tired or groggy, we just felt bad.
