It's Christmas Eve. The night is cold and breezy, the children are all sleeping and the presents are just arriving.
In a small neighborhood, where Christmas was spent surrounded by the biggest and most expensive presents a parent could find, there's one house where, even if the Christmas decorations are in full display, and you can see the tree from a mile away, there was no present to be found, no joy to be shared, not a single person around.
Then, a cab parked right outside of the snow covered street.
"Keep the change." said a female voice before coming out of the cab.
She opened the door, making a cool breeze enter the cab, giving her shivers and raising the bottom of her dress quite a bit, but her hands prevented to accidentally flash the driver.
The first thing out of the cab was her black right high heel. After that, her covered fit figure came out and, as a cold breeze passed right by her, she started to slightly shiver as her hard nipples started to poke through her black dress.
She closed the door behind her and walked as fast as she could towards her house before she froze to death. The Weather Channel didn't announce any snowing until the morning of Christmas, and it wasn't even 11:30 when she left the party and the snow was already on the streets.
Once she got out of the cab, she ran towards her door, running away from the freezing breeze that came from the outside.
Once inside, Brie Larson put on the coat she left on the coat hanger.
"That's better." she said "Fuck off, Weather Channel."
With that said, the Captain Marvel star walked towards her kitchen and, once she arrived, she went to her wine cellar and filled a glass.
As she took her first sip, she remembered the party she had attended. It was all her friends' plan as her recent break-up with a long time relationship. The guy was fine, or at least he looked fine; he had a nice body underneath all that winter clothing, but personality wise... The guy was as empty as the void; he was the typical male bimbo, and she believed her friends knew it.
"Fuck 'em" she laughed as she served herself another glass "I don't even think they know what I want in a relationship."
But then, a small thought came across her mind. What if her friends just wanted to give her a one-night hook-up? Just so she could release some steam.
"Well, fuck me." this time, she didn't even bother on filling her glass and just grabbed the whole bottle.
She walked across the kitchen and the entranced and entered her living room. She lit the fireplace as she chugged the bottle, feeling how everything on the outside was getting warmer as well as in her inside.
Once her "drink" was finished, she sat on her new leather couch. She spent days telling her friends the things they shouldn't do while she even made a "Not To Do List" that was always laying on the couch. Or at least that's where it was laying until Brie grabbed it, made it a ball and threw it away as it broke all the rules. She drank and/or ate something, she had taken her shoes out and put her feet on the couch and was in a drunken state; those were the only three rules written in the paper.
But she didn't care. She washed away an opportunity with a hunk just because she misread the room, she was a due a cheat day and her couch too. She had been good all year and one small mistake was supposed to ruin her whole night?
"Yeah, I've been good." she looked at her empty bottle of wine "You've been good too, my little friend." then, by sheer accident, she spilled some wine on the couch "Shit." she said, but her reaction was laughter more than anything reproachable "I guess I'll need a new couch. But where would I get a new one?"
She looked at the Christmas tree. She looked at her old pendulum clock, 11:50. She looked back at the ball of paper in the floor.
By 11:55 she had already written the letter:
"Dear Santa:
My name is Brie. And I've been a very good girl. So for Christmas I'd like a new couch. And, you know what? I blew a sex opportunity tonight, what if you give me a new opportunity? Perhaps the best sexual experience EVER? Think about it.
Attentively,
Brie Larson
P.S. You know I've been good, don't you?"
