《Marvel Women One Shots》Unexpected Christmas Celebration - F.P
Advertisement
So three days ago I landed in Sweden to celebrate Christmas with my family. I left LA where I now live with my girlfriend who my family hasn't met but any way.
I have a pretty successful acting career and I just so happened to met my girlfriend Florence on the way. We have been together for one year and two months and I have met her parents one time when we both was in England
But any way. I was Christmas shopping with my brother when she called me and told me her family had gotten Corona and she would stay in LA and celebrate Christmas with herself. Which I did not accept so she is now after a lot of convincing on her way here to spend Christmas with me and my family
My family were more then happy to welcome her when I told them and my brother was excited to met the one I always ramble about. The funnies thing to me is the fact that Florence can't speak Swedish and is going to be so confused
So right now I was parked outside of the airport leaning on my Lamborghini which is one of many cars I own. I'm a big car freak. People walked past and looked at me some even asked for pictures which I took with them while I was on the look out for Florence
And soon she walked out of the airport with a suitcase behind her. She smiled at me as she reached me. "I missed out" She said before she pulled me into a hug
"We saw each other two days ago" I said as I put her suit case in the back
"Still. So this is the car you always talk about"
"Yea, the first one I got actually and the only one I have here at home" I tried to open the door for her but she was quicker and gave me the look she always give me signaling that she can open her own door. "Sorry" I say putting my hands up as a smile spreads across her face
I start the car and roll out of the parking lot and onto the road. "You know that from the time I stepped of the plane until now there was three people who asked me for a picture and usually I can't even go to the store with out people shouting after me"
"Yea it's nice. The fact that paparazzis don't exist here"
"They don't"
"No. At most it is a middle aged man or woman who tries to take a picture while being sneaky so they can show their kids. And sure some people ask for a picture but we Swedes have some unspoken rule that you don't just talk with people. You don't sit next to people on the bus and you don't just say hi when you met someone on the street if you don't know them like really well"

"You have any more rules I need to know"
"Well first of all if they ever talk about mushrooms you don't ask where they pick them. That's like asking someone who much they have on their account. We tend to put all the languages we know together a lot so if some words are English, Spanish or something else and it makes no sense you don't correct it. And we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, so tomorrows eve"
"Okey. So are we meeting you family now or tomorrow"
"Tomorrow. If you don't want to met them today"
"No it's fine. We do as you say. So where are we going?"
"My apartment"
"That you use like 10 days a year"
"Well yea. I like privacy and the days I am home I usually have friends over or a girl but now you are here so I can have a girl over every day" I say with a goofy grin as I look at her
"Eyes on the road baby"
And well we got to my apartment and had a very nice night with some adult activities as well as some nice food
The next morning I woke up with Florence in my arms and I tilted my head to get a view of the clock. 1. I lightly shook Florence as she started to wake up. "Babe. You need to wake up"
"Why" She groaned like always
"Because we need to be there in two hours. And I really need a shower and so do you after last night"
"Just a minute" She say closing her eyes again. I place a kiss on her head before I unwrap my arms from her and get up and into the bathroom to shower.
She soon joined me but we had to cut it short because I wasn't quite done with the wrapping. I then started getting dresses but Florence just looked at me and asked. "What do i wear. Is it like chill or is it formal"
"I would say kinda formal. The kids or going to be wearing like jeans and a shirt but the adults is pretty formally dressed my dad, brother and I usually wear a suit while mom wears a dress"
"Do you have a suit over"
"You should know I have" So after she had chosen which color of suit she wanted we ate a quick breakfast while I tried to teach her some basic Swedish. "Okey so hej means hi. Jag heter means my name is"
"Yea" I said even tho her pronunciation was quiet funny. "But all the adults know English and my older cousin knows some because she is 12"
I grabbed the two bags of gifts I had and we made our way to the car and got in as I started the 20 minute drive to my parents house. "So who many are we going to be" Florence ask as place my hand in hers

"Well it's my family and you. My brothers wife and two kids. My moms sister and her two kids and moms mom. So 12"
"And how do the night go. In which order" She ask clearly showing she is nervous with the amount of questions she is asking
"Well first it's like an hour of get together while my mom finishes the last of the food and then we eat. And then Santa comes and we open presents and then everyone decided when they want to leave and that's very different. But people usually start to leave around 9 or 10" She is about to ask another question but I stop her with a kiss seeing that we are at a stop light. "Stop asking questions. Everything is going to be fine as long as you are yourself"
"Okey" She say with a deep breath. "But one thing. How much PGA and do they know your gay"
"Well everyone but grandma knows i'm gay and that you are coming and well a peck is fine here and there but not while anyone is eating"
"Can I hold your hand"
"Yes"
We then pull up in their drive way and we get out the car. I walked up to their door with Florence behind me and knocked. Soon my brother came to open the door with a smile
"Trevligt att se dig igen" He said as I handed him the bags to give to say who was in charge of the presents. (Nice to see you again)
He soon came back this time with mom behind him. I gave them both a hug before I turned to Florence. "Florence this is my mom Maja and this is my brother Philip"
"It's so nice to finally meet you" My mom said before she pulled Florence into a hug
"It's nice to met you too. Y/n speaks very highly of you"
"Well that's nice to hear" She said as she pulled away and my brother put his hand out. "Nice to met you"
"The same" We then walked inside and first came to the kitchen where we found Philips wife and kids. I hugged Jasmine and Leah before I hugged Sofie who is the sister I never had
"Har du saknat mig på andra sidan jorden" She said laughing. (Have you misted me on the other side of earth)
"Lite gran" I answers. (Just a bit). "And this is my girlfriend Florence. Babe this is Sofie Philips wife or my new sister and that is their kids Jasmine which is the small one and Leah who is the taller one"
"Nice to met you and sorry about my English it's not very good"
"It's not a problem. I have meet way worse and it's nice meting you two" I then tried to introduce her to the two girls running around and I think that got who she was. The we found our dad and he was happy seeing me having a stable relationship which isn't really my thing
And then aunt Elsa came with her kids Johan and Julia along with grandma. Elsa was polite as always and Johan barely cared for anything but his phone but Julia was at a lost for words
I mean she know what I do for a living and she things it's cool but never in her dreams did she think I would bring a star here and well she loved speaking English with Florence so I barely saw my girlfriend for half the night
And then we have grandma and even tho I warned Florence she could be a bit much this was over the top. "Och vem är det här" She asked when she got to the kitchen where Florence and Julia was helping my mom. (And who is this)
"Florence. Min flickvän" I answers before she would make a scene. (Florence. My girlfriend)
She walked over to Florence and said something making Florence turn around and look at me confused. Me grandma then started to walk around her in circles talking. "Att någon ens skulle vara till samman med dig är konstigt. Men hon ser bra ut" (That someone would be together with you is weird. But she looks good)
"Okay kan du slutar. Så illa är det inte och hon kan inte svenska så prata engelska. Jag vet att du kan" (Okey can you stop. It isn't that bad and she can't speak Swedish so talk English. I know you can)
She looked at me and then at Florence. "You are beautiful young lady but I don't know why you would date her. She is quite weird" She said
"Oh I know" Florence said before my grandma left to find the sweets probably. Florence turned to me
"I'm sorry she can me a bit weird" I say apologizing
"It's not a problem and just so you know. I like your weird and goofy side" She say as she places a peck on my lips and a camera can be heard going off. I don't even need to look to know it's my dad. "Dad stop we have talked about this"
"Sorry" He just said and left. Florence looked at me with a smile before turning back to the counter and continued her conversation with my mom about some kinda of food I think
Who knew this would end so good

The Book of Mors: Summoned
Around two thousand years ago, The world of Acoria suffered what is known as The Great Calamity, turning the continent of Teknish into a smouldering wasteland, irradiated by chaotic mana and ravaged by savage energy storms, causing the surviving sentient races to flee to the much smaller and resource deficient continent of Malthasia. The year is now 2101 AGC (After Great Cataclysm) and the intense competition for space and resources has left humanity with only three surviving kingdoms, protected by the nearly impassable mountains of the Antaeth basin. Standing on the verge of collapse, the human kingdom of Vonai is forced to perform a summoning ritual, ripping souls from another dimension and implanting them into magically created bodies. Little do they know that by doing so, they have changed the fate of the world and everyone in it, for, in the infinite dimensions of the mortal realm, there are some existences you do not want to provoke.

8 92Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
