After going on dates, day turned week, weeks turned months, months turned year.

Little Brian had turned one, months ago, Jennie and Blake relationship deepened, Jennie was aware of one fact.

It was love at first sight and she loved every bit of Blake more than anything else,

But as days passed , her friendship relationship with Evie started Deteriorating, both grew more distant apart from another.

Jennie tried all she could to changed everything to how it was but all effort remained futile.

She refused to give her an audience, for instance if Jennie asked Evie "Have you eaten?"

She would reply "And why do you care"

_What happened, did I wronged you?_

_No_

Tasha on the other hand travelled overseas, although the relationship between the twins has severed.

Evie tried all she could to avoid Jennie, no matter how much Jennie tried she was unable to brought them Back together.

Blake on the other hand started investing and doing some private business which was unknown to his father.

He had tried moving Martha to more lively environment till he achieve his aim but Martha objected. Saying how much she loved the quiet environment.

Jennie visits Martha often and spend the rest reading, going on dates with Blake, although blake hadn't touched her, both did Nothing but kissed, she didn't rushed things either.

Mr Anderson showered little Brian with all the love he could.

Things couldn't be more perfect, although her relationship with Blake isn't known to his father. She knew it's better if it remained that way.

It was on Christmas Eve she was done with high school, the break was spent going from one dates to another, Mr Anderson has as well been very busy.

The Christmas tree in the Anderson's family sitting room was decorated with several decoratives and various decorating materials respectively.

Jennie was in the kitchen helping her mom with the dessert, alot of dishes and side dishes has been made, including snacks.

Little Brian who had made a mess of the chocolate cake looked solemnly at Jennie particularly, his look at that moment was nothing but pretence, he kept howling, crying out his eyes.

Mrs Anderson on the other hand doesn't tried attending to him, how could a little boy be so mischievous?

Jennie after removing the silicone oven mitt place the dessert on the kitchen island.

Mrs Anderson threw her a brief glance before resuming to washing the strawberry, "Careful with the desserts, the chocolate is yet to solidify, don't let it spill" she said.

"Got it mom" Jennie replied.

"Eh"

Jennie nodded before saying "I'll be in my room"

She was about to exit the kitchen when her mom called making her stopped abruptly "Wait a minute!"

She turned back tiredly and slurred lazily "Mom! What?"

Layla ignored her dissatisfaction and went straight to the point "Isn't Blake coming for Christmas?"

Jennie drifted off for seconds before answering "He is, but he didn't tell exactly when"

"Take Brian with you, I'll join the dinning soon, don't you spend all day grinning like a gloon or forever in the washroom alright?"

"Mom!" (~￣³￣)~

"What's with her honey?"

Jennie pouted and said "I'll just go" with that she exit the kitchen.

Jennie after bathing Brian wiped his dripping wet body with his bathing towel and helped him dry his hair afterwards.

Although he kept splashing water on Jennie in the bathroom which had almost drenched her clothes, she clothed him after drying is hair before taking him downstairs.

Mr Anderson happened to entered into the house at the same moment

"Come here honey" Mr Anderson particularly was referring to Brian who was reluctant to leave Jennie arms, the little boy love nestling in Jennie arms.

"Dad, you're back" Jennie said surprised walking towards him.

"Yes honey, I promised last night, didn't I?" He said sitting the briefcase on the table.

Jennie handed Brian to him, she carefully carried the briefcase and said "Dad you promised a gift remember?"

Brian blinked rapidly and mouthed "Dada"

Mr Anderson smiled and poke his nose "Cute Brian, dada is here, where should dada take you"

Brian didn't respond he only gaze cutely at Jennie and said "Dada, I want cake"

Mr Anderson frowned playfully and said " Give him what he wants"

Brian who felt satisfied nodded and said "Yes, yes"

"Not only did he made a mess of the desserts, mom had to remake them it turns out that I as well has to help, and here I am, yet to wash up and this wolfish little dare said he wants a cake" Jennie retorted all at once glaring at Brian who shivered slightly intimidated.

He blinked repeatedly and cried without tears before pointing to Jennie "see dada, she bully me, Jennie bullies me, QAQ

Mr Anderson sighed looking at how childish his kids were "Don't be mad Brian, Dada will buy you big fat cake"

Marvelous!, Brian felt satisfied, he smiled cheekily and gaze triumphantly at Jennie who felt cheated, "I love dada best" he uttered smiling sheeplessly.

"You" Jennie said grumpily and stomped her feet before heading into her parents room.

Mr Anderson fixedly gaze at Jennie until she's completely out of view then he said "little Brian let's go meet mama in the kitchen"

"Jennie after dropping the briefcase went to wash up before helping setting up the dinning table.

"Mom, are the neighbors coming over this Christmas?" Jennie said to her mother who just place the cleaned wine glass on the table.

"Nope, I don't think so. Moreover they aren't spending Christmas here this year"

"Oh" she muttered

The door bell rang, Jennie was about to go open it when her mom said "Continue honey, I'll go get it"
