Trees to decorate [Closed to Adrian]

"No, momma of c-course I'm going to be there l-later. Ahuh, I w-wouldn't miss the tree lighting for anything in the w-world." Anna said softly, fingertips running along the gold and silver decorations she'd hung and draped along the edge of the counter. Smiling, she plucked the last bauble from the box and hung it on the Christmas tree. Her father had helped her pick it like always but this year it would be for Adrian's place and not the family home. She'd wanted to surprise Adrian and the amount of decorations she'd hung on the tree and around his- their - loft would certainly surprise him. "N-no momma I w-won't forget to ask Adrian. I'm s-sure he wants to c-come over. Yes... "

Dragging the step ladder to the tree Anna climbed up and placed the snowflake on the top as she heard the lock turn. Brushing the dress she was wearing down, she looked over her shoulder and smiled invitingly at her boyfriend. Wearing only a naughty santa outfit, Anna was flushed from decorating the loft. The loft looked warm, cosy, the smell of pine and spices filling it with warmth as well as the roaring fire she'd also put on.

"... I have to go Momma, Adrian's home. Okay, b-bye." Anna hung up the phone smiling widely at Adrian. "W-well, do you like it?"

It had been a busy afternoon with more than a handful of walk-ins wanting holiday themed ink in time for the big day. Unfortunately, he was nearing the end of time for happy customers. Soon, they'd be getting ink that would still be there for Christmas but would, most likely, still be peeling.

Not his fault people didn't plan ahead, but that still meant he'd have to listen to the bitching.

That was tomorrow's problem, though. For now, he planned on dinner with his adorable girlfriend who was, he was sure, up to something. She'd been stammering too much, trying to appear too innocent about it, and he found the whole thing even more endearing than usual.

Then he stepped into his loft and froze.

He wasn't sure if she'd been asking about the decorations in the loft or the outfit (almost) covering her beautiful body. Then again, given the only word that came to mind, it applied to both.

"Wow."
