Dragging his children out the mall,he muttered to himself. Cursing under his breath,Phil lifted Suzie into her carseat,strappering her in tightly knowing that his driving was going to be different after what happened. He hops in the drivers seat and slams the door. " Daddy are you okay?" Suzie asked softly. He looked into his rear mirror.
"Why,honey?"
"Your face is all red,daddy." He heard a gasp from the other side
"Daddys sick!" Jeffy exclaimed,waving his hands with a suprised look on his face.
They started to panic a little while Phil started the car. Looking in the mirror he could see how red his cheeks were. "Red as in feverish" he told himself.
"I must be sick"
He was about to back out of the mall's parking area when Suzie and Jeffy began screaming for him to stop.
"Daddy,daddy stop! You're gonna run over Santa!"
His foot slammed on the breaks,quickly turning around to see behind him.
He was standing behind the car with his hands in his red fluffy pockets.
He had a sly smirk on his slightly shaved face and he seemed to be looking straight at him through the car glass.
"What the hell is this guys problem?!" He thought to himself as the man walked over to his window.
Leaning over,with that smirk on his face, he tapped on his window twice before Phil opened it.
"Whats wrong with you?! Why didn't you get out the way?!" He questioned him.
"Whats wrong with me? Whats wrong with you? Almost hitting Santa like that. "
His voice was smooth and dark and his chuckle was teasingly and almost villainous.
He eyed phil up and down. From his blue eyes to where his seat belt buckle was.
That feeling came again and he wanted to drive away from the mall,but instead shifted in his seat.
"Daddy you have to say sorry." He heard Jeffy whisper in the back.
"Jeffy we've got t-"
"But daddy you said whenever you do something wrong you have to.." He forgets the words and looks over to his sister for a little help.
"You have to say sorry" she added
"Yeah!"
Phil could feel the frustration building within him.
"No thats alright. "
Phil jumped at the sound of his voice and he chuckled and smiled.
"How about dinner?" He asked finally.
"I-"
"Yeah lets eat with Santa!" The children yelled excitedly.
"Jeffy,Suzie we have to go home and get you into bed soon. I know you are both very tired"
They shook their heads quickly
"Well then its set,dinner with santa it is."
He gave him a victorious look before walking around the from of the car and opening the passengers seat.
Sitting next to Him, Phil could smell the coffee and colone off of him.
He finally backed out the parking area,the "santa" distracting the kids with little christmas stories and songs and the whole time,Phil could feel his eyes on him.
The whole time.
