This Christmas was going to suck. Everything that could go wrong did for me. I knew my mother was going on a cruise for the holiday, so I was prepared for that. I knew I wouldn't be taking her to midnight mass on Christmas Eve. I wouldn't be making calientitos for us just the way she showed me. We wouldn't be opening our presents together with me watching her face light up as she told me I spent too much money on her.
I had expected to do all those things with my boyfriend of six months. That was until I decided to surprise him on Thanksgiving by bringing him a plate from my house. He didn't feel comfortable meeting my family so soon, and he supposedly was going to a friend's house to eat with them, but I wanted to spend some time with him and make sure he tasted my cooking.
So I let myself into his apartment, like I always did. There were clothes scattered everywhere, unusual for him. I heard some sounds from his bedroom, and figured he had come home early and was stroking off to some porn. I chubbed up as I made my way back to his room, thinking I'd walk in on him sliding his hand along the length of his cock, ready for me to replace it with my mouth.
I didn't find what I had expected. What I did find was my boyfriend, my loving, caring, loyal boyfriend, getting stuffed by some guy like he was the Thanksgiving turkey. I stood there frozen in the doorway as the man slammed into my boyfriend. My soon to be ex was in the doggy position facing away and the man using him had his back to me, so neither noticed me as I watched, horrified.
"Come one man, give me that load." I heard my soon to be ex-boyfriend say. "Give me my third load of the day." I was horrified. "How does that sloppy hole feel?" Things started to click into place. Those nights he had to work late, or was late to something, why some nights he told me to just stay home or didn't want to come over. My strict top boyfriend was getting fucked by total strangers.
"You bastard." I said so softly I couldn't be heard. My hands holding the plate began to tremble. I really couldn't believe my eyes. This was some sort of nightmare, it had to be. The man who treated me like a prince couldn't be there, in front of me, getting pummeled for a third time today. "You fucking bastard." I finally screamed.
They turned their heads and finally saw me. They didn't stop. My ex just gave me a grin and said, "Hey, babe, want to join? He's got a great cock." I couldn't believe he said that. I couldn't believe he had no guilt or remorse for what he was doing. "If you hear a knock on the door, could you get that, I'm expecting another couple of guys."
"Really?" I said astonished, anger boiling up in me. I couldn't even cry tears I was so enraged. "You do realize it's completely over between us now?" I couldn't believe I was even having this conversation with him while he was in the middle of cheating. "You know what, just understand it's over. Don't call. Don't text. Have a wonderful cheating life."
I left them. They didn't even break stride the whole time. The last thing I heard as I put my hand on the door was the guy screaming his climax. I had never been so glad never to bring a guy home to my mother before in my life. When I got home, I pretended it was all okay, and a few days later, I told my mother that I we had broken up due to unforeseen circumstances. She didn't need to know the whole sordid story.
She tried to get me to go on the cruise, but I didn't have the time to take off work for it. Then she offered to stay home, but I couldn't do that to her or my sister. She was looking forward to getting a winter tan, and a little time with my sister would make her appreciate me just a little bit more.
So I as here, laying on the couch, watching Midnight Mass instead of going to it, in my pajamas, with a cup of warm cocoa on the coffee table cooling. The lights from the mantel flashed above the fireplace I was letting dye out. I wasn't really feeling all the holiday cheer, but I couldn't let my mother feel bad, so I had decorated everything just like we normally do. It just sucked not being able to share it with someone tonight.
I'm not sure when I fell asleep. The fire must have been just warm enough and the couch was just soft enough that I dozed off into a lonely fitful slumber. There were no visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. I woke up at one time and turned the television off, but I was too tired to actually get up and go to bed, so I just rolled over and went back to sleep.
"Wake up, sleepy head." I heard a soft voice calling me back from sleep. "Come on, Kevin, wake up." I felt the soft touch of a hand along my cheek. I had to be dreaming. I was home alone and all the doors were locked. "Kevin, it's time to wake up and open your special present." I slowly opened my eyes, a veil of sleep still shrouding my mind. "That's it, my special boy."
My eyes began to focus, seeing the stunningly handsome man dressed like a Christmas elf sitting on the edge of the couch beside me, his bright beaming face looking down at me. "Great, I'm having a sex dream." I said still half asleep. "You are cute through." I reached out and touched his soft baby smooth face. That's when I realized it wasn't a dream.
"What the Hell?" I shouted, my eyes growing wide with terror. I backed up against the couch, trying to get away from whomever had just broke into my house. "Who are you? What do you want?" I said in a panic. "If you leave now, I promise I won't call the police. I don't have anything you'd want anyways."
He just cocked his head in puzzlement, as if trying to understand what I had just said. "Oh!" He exclaimed as reality hit him. "Let me explain, please, I'm not here to hurt you." His voice was soft and melodic, and somehow soothed my fears. "I'm Randy." He put a hand on his broad chest. "I'm one of Santa's elves." I tried not to roll my eyes at that and failed. "Don't do that." He narrowed his eyes at me.
"Like, I was saying." He picked back up as happy and smiling as before. "I am Randy, one of Santa's elves." I didn't roll my eyes, figuring I had better do whatever this crackpot in my house said, for now. "Santa got your Christmas wish, and his heart just broke when he looked at your year and saw how hard it was."
"My Christmas wish?" I relaxed a little, thinking if I had made a Christmas wish, then banished it from mind. "What are you talking about? And why are you here in my home?" I tensed back up, chiding myself for feeding into his delusion, even just for a moment. "And how did you get in? I have a security system."
