Bratayley Christmas Novels & Stories

Layla's POV Christmas Eve arrived, and Alex transformed our penthouse into a winter wonderland. A majestic tree stood tall, adorned with sparkling ornaments and garlands. Soft candlelight illuminated the room, casting a warm glow. It felt heavenly! Alex took my hand, leading me to the balcony overlooking the glittering city. “Merry Christmas, Layla,” he whispered, his eyes shining. “Merry Christmas to you too, Baby.” I smiled. Below, a private orchestra played festive melodies.

Tonight is the Winter Anniversary. “I’m fine, Dom. Stop hovering and go have fun.” I swat his hand away from my shoulder. “Go be the star. I’m just here for the free champagne and to make sure you don’t do anything stupid before the big game.” He gives me that lopsided, boyish grin that has half the city swooning. “No promises.” I watch as he scans the room. This isn’t an official league party. It is the commemorative bash before the final showdown of the year. The calm before the bloodbath on the ice.

Although it was too big, I looked like a cute baby in his warm coat. I couldn't stop myself from wrapping my arm around his, resting my head on his shoulder. Okay, maybe my Bratva husband isn't that bad, I guess he can be a sweet boy at times too. T. B. C!

Flashback: December 18th, 1983 ⭐️ Christmas Confrontation: It was a holiday tradition for Sunny and James to meet up with their best friends, Finn and Layla, at Hunt Valley Mall to go Christmas shopping together. The mall was a popular destination during Christmas for them, with its festive decorations and twinkling lights making it truly magical.

Sebastian said while trying hard to not cry in front of the poor old couple. "This is crazy, I saw her this morning before she left and now she is no longer with us. I won't be able to see her or touch her again. It's the worst feeling ever. Everyone used to call her brat and troublemaker. But now no one is going to make any trouble. No one is going to act like a brat." Her mom continued to cry and so did her dad. Brat… she is truly a brat!

"Another year, another Christmas together at Snowfall Creek…" She gave her speech of thanks — to the guests, the staff, the memory of my father and grandfather. She spoke about new beginnings, hope, the simple magic of being together. People were moved. Some even cried. I looked at Alice and saw her eyes shining. When Rosa finished, the band started playing a more upbeat tune, a soft country waltz. People began to stand up, talk, dance in the open space near the stage. That's when Alice, under the table, pushed a small package wrapped in red paper toward me.

On Christmas Eve, with the temperature at thirteen below zero, a blizzard shut down the interstate in northern New Jersey. The motel at North Ridge Travel Plaza had only two heated rooms left. My hands and feet were numb with cold, but I still walked happily toward Daniel Walker, my husband of five years, a man known for his thoughtfulness. Instead, he walked right past me and handed the last two room keys to his first love Claire Miller, who had just ended her marriage, and her dog Buddy. A woman stranded beside us watched enviously. "Your boyfriend is so thoughtful. He even got a separate room for the dog." Daniel didn't correct her or look back at me. He was too busy taking off his down j

They reached Tara’s car, and as soon as they got in, Tara squeezed Melody’s hand. As she got into the car, she made a silent prayer, she didn't believe in Christmas no more, but she was hoping for a Christmas miracle. The twelve days of Christmas song was blasting in the car. On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me… “Cheating on a platter of gold.” How thoughtful.

They froze. Snow fell around them. Her hair brushed his jaw. His hands were on her waist. “You’re heavy,” he said. “You’re lying,” she shot back. For a heartbeat, everything else disappeared. Then— “DAAAADDYYYY!” Noelle slid into them like a missile. Sebastian groaned. Nyra burst out laughing. “This,” Nyra said between laughs, “is the best Christmas I’ve had in years.” Sebastian stood, brushing snow off. “You’re enjoying this far too much.”

Brayan asks, his big round eyes widening as he pleads, and there’s no way I’m saying no to that. “Fine,” I tell him. This is the last of the Christmas decor anyway, so he can get to put it up. I hand him the flower, pick him up to give him some added height, and I direct him to hang the mistletoe over the door knocker. “WOW! It’s so nice and pretty. This is where kisses happen right?” Brayan asks innocently, and I nod. He turns to face me, malice glinting in his baby eyes, and already knowing that he’s about to ask when I’ll kiss a girl here, I attack him with a ton of kisses. Since he’s in my arms, there’s really nothing else for him to do other than twist in my grasp.
