It was the week before Christmas and I still was not ready. Gifts still to buy. Packing to do as I was going to spend the holidays with my parents.
So i took the plunge and went to the mall. People galor. I hate shopping at this time of year. Drives me nuts! But anyways it had to be done.
As i wandered around searching for the perfect gift, I saw "Santa's little shop". And children were lined up to visit him.
I couldn't help but smile as the kids eyes lit as they got to see him and tell him their Christmas wish. I stopped just to watch. Wondering if the little girl wanted a doll or the boy a truck.
Well, had gifts to buy and running out of time so I carried on. As I was walking away, I noticed Santa wink at me. A little odd but OK. I smiled back and started looking for that perfect gift once again.
Time passed and I was soon done. I walked to the doors with my bags, but one fell. As I was reaching down, I noticed a hand picking it up. My eyes looked up and it was Santa.
"Can I help you to your car?" he asked.
"Thank you. That would be great."
As we walked to my car, we talked. I knew I should know that voice. But I couldn't figure it out. When we arrived there I unlocked the door of the car. And threw the bags in.
As I turned to take the bag from him, he pulled his beard off. Oh my God! I started laughing. It was Brandon, an old friend. I haven't seen him in ages. But he still looked as good as ever.
We decided to meet up later. He would come over to my place for drinks and we"we would go from there.
As I was driving home, I was thinking about Brandon. I wasn't sure what he had in mind for later, but knowing him it would be good.
Well time passed, and I was getting dressed when I heard the door bell. Shoot, I am not even ready. I threw on a pair of blue jeans and a shirt, and ran to the door.
I opened it and saw roses on the step. I laughed, picked them up and smelled them. Then Brandon came around the corner. He had a bottle of wine and a gift in his hand.
His smile melted butter. I have always been attracted to him. His dark hair, dark eyes. His body, ohhhhhhhhhh that body, it was to die for.
I invited him in. As he passed me. he leaned over and gave me a kiss. I wanted to push him to the floor that very second. But fought the urge.
I shut the door. We went to the living room and sat down. I got some wine glasses and Brandon opened the wine.
I kept eying the gift, wondering what was in it. He noticed me glancing at it.
