night time talks

Carrie's pov





Carrie was thankful when the car pulled to a stop outside her and Kelly's home. She had a month off for Christmas break before the tour would start up again and she and Kelly were spending it at home.



'I can't wait to get into a bed that doesn't move.........' Carrie smiled as the driver opened the door for her.



'Some fun we're going to have......if the beds not moving........' Kelly walked ahead leaving Carrie and a very shocked driver behind.





The familiar surroundings of home felt warm to Carrie as she entered through the front door. The driver had left leaving Kelly and her alone. It have been a long time since Carrie had spend any time alone at home with Kelly and She wanted to enjoy it.



'Everyone should start arriving around noon tomorrow so we should get the guest rooms ready........' Kelly yelled from the kitchen dragging Carrie out of her romantic day dream.



'Everyone?......'Carrie quizzed. When Kelly had told her Christmas dinner would be at their house this year she had really listened. Instead her eyes stayed focused on her wife as she sat at the edge of the bed rubbing lotion over her thighs. Kelly could have told Carrie she was inviting Clive Davis to dinner and the country singer would have agreed fully at that moment.



'The whole gang.........' Kelly yelled back.



'Even that nephew of yours......'Carrie tried not to sound to jealous. Ever since Noah was old enough to crawl he had been making his way towards his Aunt Kelly, making it even harder for Carrie to spend any time with her.



'No she's thinking of leaving him behind this year........you know let the boy spend Christmas alone..........'



'Wouldn't hurt........' Carrie mumbled to herself as she reached for her bags laying next to the door.



'Leave it.......'Kelly was making her way towards Carrie at a fast pace. 'You hurt that hand any more we will have to cut it off and then how will you fight Noah for my attention......' Kelly tried to hold in her laugh as Carrie began to pout.



'Your mine.......i shouldn't have to fight for you........'



'And he's a little boy.......' Kelly pointed out as she carried their bags into their bedroom. 'Anyway.....he's getting older now.......maybe I wont be as cool as I was last year...........'



'Please......the gifts you buy that kid will make you cool till he's at least eighteen.........' Kelly turned gasping in shocked horror.



'Are you saying I buy my nephews love?.........'



'Totally.........' Carrie said with a laugh. 'Come on........i bet if you buy him clothes this year he'll leave you alone.......try it.......' Carrie threw herself down on the bed as Kelly began to unpack.



'To late......i bought his gifts months ago......'



'And what overly expensive toys will he be getting this year?.........'



'The price does not matter...........we don't have kids.......im allowed to spoil him.........'



'And what about the others...........your niece.....and Jakob?........my nieces and nephews..........'



'Dont give me that look.......he was my first nephew.......and I don't spoil him any more than I spoil the rest......'



'Yea well lets hope our siblings are finished having kids before we run out of money..........so what did he get?.......'



'A few things......'Kelly finished up the unpacking before laying next to her wife on the bed. ' a laptop......'



'A laptop?......a real one?......' Carrie sat up to look at her wife better.



'Yes.......he needs one for school........ '



'And what else?.,........'Carrie interrupted.



'a few sports tops.......some little action figures......'Kelly looked everywhere but at Carrie.



'How much have you spent on them all?.......'



'The kids?.....'



'Yes.....those kids none of us gave birth to......'



'Maybe twenty.......' Kelly shrugged.



'Twenty?........'Carrie asked. 'what twenty thousand?.......' Carrie sat up fully as Kelly jumped from the bed.



'Theres a lot of them.......' Carrie sat speechless. 'Don't give me that look.......we can afford it.......'



'But their parents can't.........Kelly hows it going to look when they open our gifts and they are so much better than their parents gifts...........' Carrie lay back down, taking a few deep breathes trying her hardest not to get angry. Carrie had a very long conversation with her sisters on Christmas day last year both of them asking her nicely if she could tone down her gift giving. She didn't know how Kelly's sister felt but she knew her sisters we embarrassed by it.



'But I don't mean it that way........i just want them to have everything they want.........i want their Christmases to be better than the ones I had growing up........does it matter who buys the gifts?.......'



'It matters to my sisters........they can't afford to buy their kids brand new laptops.......'



'They think im doing it to show off?........' Kelly lay back down. 'im guessing you had a talk?......'



'Yea.....'Carrie whispered. 'they don't think your showing off though.........'



'Do they want the kids to have nice things?.......'



'Of course they do.......' Carrie pulled Kelly over till she was laying her head on her shoulder.



'So write their names on the gifts.......let the kids think it's from their parents.............'



'Charity........' Carrie whispered.



'Are your sisters that insecure that they can't accept a gift?.........' Kelly was getting angry herself now.



'My sisters aren't insecure.......maybe they just don't want to live off my money like some people do........'Carrie knew it was a cheap shot and she knew she was in the wrong saying it but it was out now, she couldn't take it back.



'And who's that shot at?.......my mother?........' Carrie didn't answer. She really didn't know who she was talking about, she was just hitting out. Going back to old ways.



'I like to spoil my family...........and im not stopping cause your sisters don't like it.........'Kelly removed herself from the bed. 'if you want to take back the gifts I bought for your nieces and nephews you can........but im giving Noah Izzy and Jakob the gifts I bought.........' Kelly left the room quickly leaving Carrie alone on the bed. There was no shouting like usually there would be but there was an atmosphere in the room now. Carrie was sure the house was cursed . They had spend a nice week away without so much as a bad word between them now five minutes home they were back to not talking.
