She sucked her bottom lip in between her teeth and shifted in her louboutins, marveling at how Ted lit up at the sight of his son. Deborah was still pottering around the kitchen behind him and Roy had found great interest in the slice of lemon floating in his drink, spinning it with his cinnamon stick. She couldnt really imagine the stately older woman taking a swing at Rupert, but she kind of wanted to see it, if that is indeed what Jessie was stopping her from doing. Youre fuckin about with Sexy Christmas. Roy warned. Well have to pop one in there for Christmas dinner. Rebecca could see Henry fist-pumping the air in the rear-view mirror. Its getting late, we can finish up this discussion tomorrow.. And this one has picked her favourite, I think. Ted winked, giving one of Hayes curls a little tug which made her giggle and drop her cheek to Rebeccas shoulder. Rebecca noticed that Catherine didnt shorten his name, and it amused her just a little, hearing him groan a touch whenever she said it. She took a step towards him, and his eyes caught on the light reflecting off her patent beige pumps before he shifted and his eyes shot across the room, stepping away from her outstretched hand as he began to pace. Theyre one goal up against West Ham and Rebecca was ecstatic. They all laughed, starting to get up from their seats and heading over to the dining table that had been sitting, beautifully decorated with wreaths and dried fruit, candles and glittery baubles, all day - the children far too frightened to touch anything for fear theyd get in trouble for disrupting how pretty it was. Best Christmas ever. Ted proclaimed, resting his forehead against hers as the celebrations continued around them. Where others voices started to shake or warble, Teds became calm. Hes sipping his wine while staring outhe may have gotten the desired table, but at what cost? I want you all to myself for a minute.. Christa Miller. She was wearing the fawn dress today, the pretty one with the little bits of white at the collar; fitted to every dip and curve of her body, making her look ethereal and beautiful.

She teased, inching closer to him, her palms pressed to his stomach as she nibbled at his ear. Get cozy this holiday season watching your favorite reruns of Ted Lasso under this sherpa blanket. He watched her as she grabbed her phone and her handbag and turned on her heel, heading towards the door. Come on Phoebs.. Rebecca, youre up!

If theyre even in the slightest measure like you, or like Henry, Ill adore them too., Ted looked up at her, feeling the warmth spread through his cheeks as he studied her, in complete awe of this woman he couldnt in a million years imagine deserving. I just got off the phone with my Mom. He glanced at her, scoping out her reaction. Arent you excited to see them?, Oh, heck, Rebecca, of course I am. He grinned, this time, genuinely. The entire stadium around them went wild - maybe for the win, maybe for the owner and gaffer currently snogging in the middle of the pitch with her held in his arms above him, the whole team celebrating around them like theyd won the whole fucking Premier League not just a Boxing Day game, mid-season, against their ex-owner.

No, Ted, its alright, were almost done.. She was wearing the fawn dress today, the pretty one with the little bits of white at the collar; fitted to every dip and curve of her body, making her look ethereal and beautiful. Roy tilted his head questioningly and Keeley giggled, watching them. Oh, its, Catherine cut off Rebeccas reassurance that it was fine, with a firm expression and she pressed her lips closed, realizing shed have been undermining Catherines point, had she finished that thought. Rebecca turned back around with her soft blonde curls framing her fresh, clean face. Ive got a bit of a logistical dilemma. He turned on his heel and started to pace back and forth between the gold-plated bookshelf and the coffee table with Rebecca standing stock-still in the middle of the room, watching him.

Okay. She breathed out quietly, a little nervous, adjusting her skirt as she turned around on the spot. Oh my god, this is the best christmas tree ever! Henry exclaimed, dropping down on his knees before the large tree in Rebeccas living room, his eyes scanning over the stickers on each of the presents. And gosh, he could kiss her for it.

Nate (Nick Mohammed) is now working for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United. What, and leave them all in the apartment to fight over a bed Im fairly certain isnt even quite a double? He snorted a laugh and Rebecca chuckled, melodiously, gripping his knee a little.

Good thing I locked the door.. Ted gave her hand a tug. Breathlessly, Rebecca pressed her lips to the shell of his ear and whispered. Good lord, I havent been called a girl in millenia. Rebecca laughed, earning her a fond smile when she glanced in Catherines direction. Hey, I can look, theres nothing wrong with looking. She complained and Keeley backed her up, eyes set on Rebecca who was studiously not participating in a conversation about how good looking Sam Obisanya was. Id love to hear all about it. She looped her arm around Rebeccas and spun them towards the exit, not waiting for Ted or Henry to catch them up. Can you think of some way I could tetris my whole family into that place?. She rolled over with a groan, smiling as she stretched her arms up over her head, twisting in the sheets that were a little cool on her left side, before she noticed Ted wasnt in the bed.
