Dec 23rd
"Hey honey, how's it going at your folks' place?" Toni asked while the slim, dirty blonde, twenty two year old stretched out her long frame on her queen-sized bed. Her childhood room hadn't changed much since she had moved out, and as she chatted on the phone with her girlfriend her eyes wandered over the décor. 'Wow I can't believe I still have that poster of the New Kids! What was I thinking? Hmm well that was during the time period when I was faking being straight.' at that thought she chuckled. On the other end of the line Janet, who had been telling Toni the pain of being at home and visiting the relatives, huffed out
"Well I'm glad you think it's funny that my cousin told everyone about the time I got drunk and puked in the punch bowl, cuz I most certainly don't think it is!" Janet stormed about her room throwing back her long raven locks, upset at her girlfriend.
"What? Punch bowl? I have no idea what you're talking about honey." The blonde stated slightly confused
"I was just wondering why I still had my New Kids poster, when we all know I was desperately in love with Tiffany at the time."
"Oh, so you weren't listening to me?" The dark haired girl pouted on her cell.
"No, I totally was listening, but I was definitely not laughing at you" Toni said quickly, into her cell's headset, to placate her girlfriend.
"Good, so anyways..."
About twenty minutes later the phone call was winding down, when Janet asked
"So what do you want for X-mas this year?"
"Hon, you don't have to get me anything. I know that since you're Jewish you don't celebrate it, so don't worry about it."
"But it's important to you. I've seen your computer at our apartment: the dancing Santa screensaver, a Rudolph pointer, and Christmas tree desktop. Oh and the little stocking hanging on the side of the computer! I appreciate the fact that you didn't go all crazy with decorating, even when I know you want to, but I want to get you something for X-mas! Besides, there is no way I'm getting you eight presents, I'm too poor right now!" She said jokingly, there was no way that a doctor such as herself was poor, but it was a long-standing joke between the two of them. In fact they had met when Janet had been running late for her shift at the University med center and had no change for the meter she had parked at. Desperate she had turned to the first person she saw, Toni, and asked for change. After a second in which the blonde had taken in the shabbily dressed and tired woman, Toni had dug some change out of her purse and given it to her. It wasn't till later that evening when the tall blonde's roommate had drank too much and was taken to the ER, that she saw the cute brunette again, but this time Janet was alert and full of energy. Janet had tended to Toni's roommate and had recognized the young woman who had helped her out earlier; she invited her for coffee as a way to thank her, but really it was a ploy to get to know the attractive blonde better. The two started out as friends, but soon were dating and then moved in together over the summer. This was a first for both of the women, since neither had ever before been in a serious committed relationship. Janet had thought that there would be a lot of problems, since she was always on call and worked long shifts and would hardly get to see her girlfriend, but Toni had been extremely understanding about the situation and all of their differences. It was because of these reasons that Janet loved her girlfriend and she wanted to get her something that expressed her feelings fully for this wonderful woman.
"So tell me, what you really want and maybe if you've been a good girl I'll get it for you." The dark haired woman teased.
"Hmm really?! Well," Toni continued in a husky voice,
"I wish you were here right now, so I could make love to you."
"Oh, you're so naughty! Well I wish I was there too baby, but maybe we can pretend. So what are you wearing?" Janet asked coyly.
