Finally December.

I love the holiday season.

It's different now than as a kid.

As kids it's always about receiving gifts but as a grown adult it's about the joy of being surrounded by Christmas decorations while sitting on your couch drinking hot cocoa and watching a holiday movie.

Which I don't have any of that at the moment.

I've been stuck in bed dying since thanksgiving.

An exaggeration.

I've been stuck in bed sick for a whole week now.

Everyday I text Jason blaming him for me being sick since he was sick and sneezing everywhere during our thanksgiving dinner.

I've been pardoned by my CEO to not go to work till I'm better.

One of the many benefits to have known the CEO my whole life.

Jason and his girlfriend Stephanie come by everyday to make me food since I haven't been able to. And because Jason owes me it for getting me sick.

Grayson has been on a trip since the day before Thanksgiving for a family vacation.

Even though it's a good thing he isn't glued to me like he is when he's here, I still have to deal with his millions of text a day.

"Come on, get up and let's eat lunch together."

I look up at Stephanie who is looking down on me.

"You look so weird with your hair short."

Stephanie reaches over and ruffles my hair.

"Didn't want my future girlfriend jealous of my hair."

Stephanie laughs, I sit up and stretch.

"I like how it's still fluffy and bushy. All the ladies are gonna be on their knees I bet."

"If it's coming from one, then I know I have a chance."

"Haven't you started talking to someone?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere."

"Suckssss, you know my cousin is still available."

"Your cousin lives across the country. I don't want long distance."

"Funny you say that, she's moving back next month. I smell fate in the air."

"I smell the soup you made so let's go before I eat you instead."

"Funny."

We leave and go downstairs to the dining room.

Jason is at work so it's just us 2.

"It's so bland here. When will you let me decorate for Christmas?"

"When I get better and do it myself. I don't want you turning my place into a pink glitter winter wonderland like you did with your place."

"You said you loved my pink glitter winter wonderland."

"That was before I spent the night and woke up the next couple of days still finding pink glitter on me."

Stephanie rolls her eyes at me as I chuckle.

"I heard Grayson is coming back tonight. We should totes all decorate this place and have dinner together  tomorrow."

"Who says 'totes' anymore?"

"Me, dumbass. Didn't you just hear me say it."

"I don't think I can have a girlfriend, I can't even stand you."

"1. You're sitting. And 2. Are you coming out as gay

"Might as well be at this point."

"Don't play like that. It takes time and patience, you will find your other half soon."

"I hate when you turn wholesome and motivational."

"Jesus, let a girl help you out. You need the confidence boost. I heard you stutter like 10 times trying to order coffee when we went out 2 weeks ago."

"I rather have Andrew Tate motivate me."

"Fuck you."

"I'm gay."

"I know."
