rafe surprising you for christmas⋆⁺₊❅.⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡
ᥫ᭡ just some rafe fluff/angst for the holidays ♡ not proofread
you sighed, picking at the fabric of your blanket as you held the phone to your ear. “i just miss you…” you said softly, your voice filled with knowing vulnerability. you were trying so hard not to cry, especially because you know how much rafe hates it when you cries. especially since he’s not here to wipe your tears and comfort you, it’ll drive him crazy to know you’re crying.
“i know, sweetheart. i’ll be home before you know it, okay? i know it’s not ideal right before the holidays-“
“damn right it’s not ideal. the one holiday i was looking forward to the most, my favorite holiday ever. and i can’t even spend it with one person i love most.” you complained, your voice raising slightly with emotion. rafe sighs softly on the other line. he hated being away from you, and now he ruined your favorite holiday because he took overtime in florida.
“i’m so sorry, baby. i feel awful and there’s nothing i want more than to spend christmas with you-“ but you couldn’t listen anymore. you press the red button, hanging up the call and angrily throwing your phone onto the mattress. you weren’t mad at rafe per se, you were just beyond pissed off in general. him apologizing did nothing but make you realize that this was truly how your christmas was going to go. that he really wasn’t going to be here.
christmas was always your favorite holiday and nothing made it better than spending it with the people you loved. rafe was everything and more to you and you just wanted to spend your favorite holiday with your favorite person.
you felt bad for hanging up on him, but talking to him was only stressing you out further. you wanted to scream and rip your hair out, desperately wishing things could go your way just for once. your phone vibrated near your feet, rafe attempting to you call you back. you felt bad, but you were beyond angry and sad, you couldn’t bring yourself to answer the phone. tomorrow was christmas eve and you’d be spending it alone.
you spent the next day trying your best to distract yourself from the fact that you were all alone in rafe’s massive house. no matching pajamas, no watching christmas movies together. no holiday sex, especially in front of the fireplace like you two had done last year. your heart was aching, christmas music playing loudly on the alexa in the kitchen.
you were making christmas cookies, the familiar scent of vanilla and gingerbread filling the kitchen was enough to make you feel a little better. the timer went off for the cookies and you slipped the gingerbread themed oven mitt onto your hand. you opened the oven, pulling out the rack as the warm smell of vanilla filled your nose. you grabbed the cookie sheet, taking it out and laying it on top of the stove as you shut the oven. you really wish rafe could be to enjoy these with you. but you were determined to make yourself less gloomy and try your best to enjoy christmas eve.
just as you shut the oven door, you hear the front door open. your brows furrow, your heart racing as you wonder who could possibly be letting themselves into the house. before your brain can process much, you hear the sound of a heavy bag hitting the floor. your heart was pounding now. the last thing you needed was to have someone break into rafe’s house while you were here alone.
you stared in the direction of the house that the noise came from, your body frozen in fear as you stiffly reached for the knife on the counter. the footsteps draw closer until your eyes are met with none other than rafe cameron, looking devastatingly handsome in a black hoodie and the matching christmas pajama pants you bought the two of you last year.
you dropped the knife back onto the counter, your eyes welling up with tears. “hi baby.” he smirks softly, his eyes filled with a softness as he lays his eyes on you. fuck, he missed you so much. you looked even more beautiful with your hair a mess, powdered sugar all over your sweater and even some on your cheek. the most precious girl in the world… standing there with tears in her eyes as she sees the love of her life surprise her for the holidays. rafe could not be any luckier and he knew that.
without second thought, you run over to rafe, jumping into his arms and wrapping your arms and legs tightly around him. you bury your face in his neck, crying softly as his strong arms hold you up with ease. everything felt like it was falling into place, it’s like a christmas miracle. everything suddenly made sense, the familiar scent of your boyfriend made your body practically melt to his.
after what feels like forever, you pull back just enough to look at rafe. he’s smiling, his eyes filled with a warmth meant for you only. he reaches his large hand up, cupping your cheek tenderly. “what are you doing here, baby?” you asked between tears, your voice coming out much softer than you anticipated. rafe’s thumb strokes your cheek gently, wiping away your fallen tears.
“i couldn’t let my girl spend christmas alone. no job is worth that. no job is worth seeing my girl upset.” he says softly, his one arm wrapped around your waist, holding you up while the other remains up as he cradles your cheek. he says ‘job’ like he isn’t the CEO of his own company, not like he’d get fired for taking a break anyways. it was the thought that counts and honestly, you didn’t care about anything else right now. rafe was home and he was here to celebrate the holidays with you.
you smiled down at him before leaning in and capturing his lips in a deep kiss. the two of you poured every ounce of love into the kiss, proving how much you missed each other. rafe hums softly into the kiss, relieved to feel your soft lips against his again. his arm tightens around your waist, his hand tangling in your hair as he deepens the kiss. god, your lips felt like fucking heaven and they tasted like vanilla. what a fucking combination.
rafe carries you over to the counter, setting you down on top right next to the mixing bowl filled with raw cookie dough. rafe breaks the kiss, dipping his finger into the large bowl, scooping a small amount of cookie dough onto his finger before he playfully smears it on your nose. your jaw drops, but you can’t help the giggly that escapes next, a smirk on rafe’s lips.
“alright, princess. what’s on the agenda, huh? we are going to make the most out of being able to spend Christmas together and i wanna make sure everything on your list is checked off.” rafe grins, his hands resting on the counter on either side of your hips. your heart warmed at rafe’s words, and as if you didn’t realize it before, you definitely realized now just how lucky you were to have rafe in your life. he was all about you, making his girl the happiest in the world. you were always rafe’s top priority, nothing you did or liked went unnoticed by rafe. he paid attention when it came to his girl. his perfect girl.
“god, i love you.” you muttered as you pressed your lips to his again.
