God it was cold out. Stepping through the doors of the mall I was happy to get out of the windy evening. I opened my jacket letting in the warmth of the indoor mall as I strode down the short hallway into the mall itself. My legs felt cold under my skirt as I listened to the music being piped over the loudspeakers. It sounded like Bing Crosbyās White Christmas which made me smile. Thinking about it I almost laughed, wishing for a white Christmas in southern Florida just seemed strange to me, but then again I was a transplant from up north. The further I walked into the mall, making my way through the Christmas eve crowds the more I warmed up. Before long the only parts of me still cold were the tip of my nose and that area between my legs which hadnāt gotten any attention lately.
Walking slowly through the mall looking in the windows and watching the people around me I took off my coat while unconsciously sticking my chest out. I wasnāt trolling for guys, well not really. Besides I was happily married, at least I normally was. For the last couple of months though life had been different around our apartment. Ever since Sean had taken the new position in the hospital he had been buried under work and training, our few times alone at home he had usually been to tired to do anything. I have to admit my attitudes over the past month hadnāt helped either. I knew his new job meant more money for us, and when he finished his training our lives would get back to normal but right now I wanted him and he wasnāt there. In fact he was out of state again finishing up some more training. Thatās why I was here today, I had to get out and see people.
Walking along I watched the couples, some of them with kids laughing and joking as they made their way through the mall. Doing their Christmas shopping they were oblivious to my plight. I knew I was feeling sorry for myself but I couldnāt help it. I couldnāt help myself as I straightened my white silk blouse, making sure it was tight. Donāt ask me why I did it. I knew it was showing more of my breasts than I normally wanted. Hell this was one of the few times I had worn this one. It had been a gift from Sean a couple of years ago and while I loved the feel of it I didnāt like to wear it in public. It was so thin you could almost see through it. Today though it had seemed the right one to wear. I knew guys enjoyed me wearing it though, they could clearly see my areole through it and I heard plenty of comments on it as I walked, swaying my ass a little more than usual.
I didnāt need to be here, my shopping had been done for weeks already, but I wanted to be out. I wandered in and out of several stores just looking around. I finally stopped in a lingerie shop and picked up a couple of things for myself thinking I might as well indulge myself a little. As I walked out I saw Santa walking by. He must have been on break from his chair in the middle of the mall. Even as I thought this I glanced at the chair there and saw him in it with a kid squirming on his lap. I couldnāt understand it until I realized they must have another in one of the stores. I almost laughed at my reaction to seeing two Santa's. What was I, a kid or something to worry about seeing two Santaās?
My mood slightly buoyed by this and my purchases I walked further down the mall and grabbed a cup of coffee. Working my way away from the food courts I finally found a seat in one of the myriad halls of the mall, not far from one of the larger stores. Sitting there sipping my coffee I glanced at my watch, noting that the mall wouldnāt be closing for several more hours. While I was doing this I saw Santa walk by and enter the store. Well at least I knew where he worked.
Why I did it I donāt know, but I stood and started following him. It was easy, you couldnāt miss his red hat towering above the rest of the people milling around in the store. I watched from the distance as he walked behind a barrier set up in the center of the store. Quickly his elves pulled the walls open revealing him sitting in a large, comfortable looking padded chair. The kids in the line laughed and squealed as they made their way up to sit on his lap and tell him their fondest wishes for Christmas. Why I stayed nearby as he had kids climbing all over him I donāt know, but I did, faking shopping as I watched. After a while I wandered away. I almost ran out of the store, instead of heading home though I went back to the coffee shop and bought two more coffeeās. Making my way back to be near him I finally caught his eye and held one of the steaming cups up. He nodded and smiled when he saw this. Almost before I knew it he had sent one of his elves over to gather up the gift. For some reason I felt disappointed.
As I turned to leave I felt a slight tug on my arm. Looking down I saw a little boy standing there with a smile on his face.
āMiss, why are you leaving? Itās almost your turn.ā He asks me. Looking at him in confusion I donāt understand what he meant.
Looking up from his smiling face I realize I had somehow ended up standing in the line to sit on Santa's lap. Laughing to myself I can understand his confusion at my wanting to leave. This is the highlight of his trip to the store and here I was getting ready to forego that pleasure.
āIām letting other kids get to see him.ā I tell the little blond haired kid. āHe doesnāt want to hear what I want, Iām too old. He wants to hear and help you little ones get what you want for Christmas.ā
