Chapter 5

A/N - I made an edit on the previous chapter.
There in Santa and Perth's dialogue I had written that new year and the party are on Friday which quite doesn't make sense because the party is always on new years eve.
I edited that and wrote that the new year is on Saturday while the party is still on Friday night.
You can check that out if you want!
Happy reading for this chapter!!!!!!!!!

PERTH

Should I tell him?
Should I not tell him?
Santa : Perth, you're doing it again.
Perth : Doing what?
Santa : Staring into my face when I am busy writing questions for you.
Perth : Uhhhh am I making you uncomfortable?
Santa : No, but it feels wierd. Do you want to say something to me?

SHOULD I TELL HIM?
SHOULD I NOT TELL HIM?

Perth : Uhhh
Santa : Uhhh...?
Perth : Umm... At what time should I be here?
Santa : When?
Perth : Friday new years party.
Santa : Ohh...You can be here by 7 or 8. That would work.
Perth : Ohkay.
Santa : Can I continue writing now?
Perth : Oh yeah. Go on.

I did not ask him apparently.
A few minutes later he hands me the questions.

Santa : Do them.
Perth : Ohkay. And yeah the other day, I saw you submitting your artwork for the gallery. It was a guy you were making?
Santa : Are you stalking me?
Perth : No.
Santa : Then how do you know it was me who submitted it when I had covered my face and body so well that even my brother couldn't tell it was me.
Perth : Uhhh. I don't know but I knew it. Why don't you submit it normally like why were you dressed like that?
Santa : I don't want anyone to know it was made by me?
Perth : Why?
Santa : I am fine like this. What if people get shocked by knowing it's me?

Don't worry Santa, when you will be my boyfriend you will for sure be known and liked by everyone.

Santa : Perth...? You are listening?
Perth : Oh yeah.
Santa : Let's continue then.

SANTA

'Santa, are you done teaching?' Phi' Aou asks me.
'Oh yes, Perth is grabbing his books, he is coming downstairs' I say.
Aou : Can you help put these lights there?
Santa : Oh yeah sure
Aou : Just be careful not to slip, the ladder is old.

I grab the lights from Phi' Aou and climb up.
I can't stop thinking what's up with him.
Perth is acting wierd.
The only conclusion is that he likes me.
No no.
I am thinking way too much.

'Ouch!' I shout just as Iose my balance and slip.
Just as I am about to fall, someone catches me.
It's????
Perth.
His hands are so warm.
The eye contact we have right now is so intense.
I know Phi' Aou will tease me so much once he has seen me like this with Perth.
But somehow.
I don't want this moment to end.
'Are you okay?' he says as he leaves me.
'Yeah thank you' I reply.
I look at his face.
Blushing like hell. The heck is wrong with him nowadays.
Does he really has a crush on me?
He goes outside. Some of his friend is there.
Is that Book maybe?
I don't know.

AOU

'Phi!! Stop it!!' Santa says.
'Oh you're blushing because you slipped into your boyfriend's arms?! Awww. Look at you!' I say teasing him.
There aren't many customers here today so my group and I decided to decorate the place for new years'.
'Excuse me! My wife accidently spilled water here! Please clean it!' one of the customers say to us.
I go and clean the place up.

Boom : Aou I will go and put this decoration there!
Aou : Okay but be careful, someone just spilled water there, I cleaned it but it's still wet.
Boom : Yeah okay.

I keep a look at him.
He's fine until some customer gets pushed into him which is why he loses his balance and slips.
'Boom!' I say as I run to help him get up.
However I myself forget that water is there and slip with him.
'Ouch!' I yell.
Boom look at me and laughs.
Aou : What are you laughing at?
Boom : Look at you. Came to help me and slipped yourself.
Aou : Oh shut up.
Boom : Get up.
Aou : Are you okay?
'I am fine but you aren't' Boom says while looking at my bruised knee.
'Come ,I'll aid you'

He takes me to side and gets some ointment.
Santa comes to me running saying 'Phi!!! Are you alright?'
I look at him with a done expression.
'Do I look alright?' I ask him.
View : How did you hurt yourself Aou?
Boom : He came to save me when I slipped but he himself slipped on water and got hurt.
Gun : Amazing Aou! Great work!!

They all are so hilarious lol.

THE NEXT DAY

PERTH

Dunk : And then! You kissed him!
Perth : Shut up you all please!!! You all have been teasing me since yesterday!
Pond : Shouldn't we? Huh? Your boyfriend fell on you!!!
Perth : It was an accident!
Book : Yeah totally. I saw how much of an accident it was.

I am litrally so done with these guys.
They say Santa fall on me and since then they haven't stopped teasing me.

Book : Perth, when will you confess your love to him?
Dunk : Weren't you supposed to tell him what happened yesterday only? Perth, you didn't tell him?!
Perth : Guys! I couldn't! He makes me so shy.
Dunk : So when will you do it?
Book :Perth! Do it tomorrow in the party?
Perth : In front of everyone? No way.
Pond : Not when everyone is there. Confess secretly.
Perth : Okay let's see.
Pond : Where is he anyway? I didn't see him today.
Perth : Oh yeah, he wasn't there in class also.
Dunk : I just hope he is alright.

My phone rings and it's his call.
Book : Pick it up!
Pond : Put it on speaker also.

SANTA

'Here, take this medicine. It will help you sleep' mother says.
I didn't sleep the whole night.
I have a bit of fever, I don't know why.
Phi' Aou was really helpful yesterday night.
He took care of me alot.
'Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you today?' Phi' Aou asks me.
Santa : I am alright Phi. You can go.
Aou : Is something worrying you? You can tell me okay.
Santa : Yes phi I will be fine after sleeping. Trust me.
Aou : Give me a call if anything happens.
Santa : Yes Phi' Aou, I will. You can go.
'Fine. Fine. Bye!!! Take care na!!!'

Phi'Aou is sooooo worried about me.
I don't want him to worry though. I will be fine in a few hours.
Well now I should try to sleep.
As I lay on the bed, my phone rings. It's Perth.
I pick it up.

Santa : Hey.
Perth : Hi. Are you okay? You didn't come to school today.
Santa : Hmm I am fine. Just couldn't sleep last night and I had fever. My brother wants me to stay home and sleep.
Perth : Ohkay. Do you want me to come over?
Santa : No. I am fine. You continue school.
Perth : Ohkay. Do I have to come for the session today evening?
Santa : Hmm.... I don't know. If I get well, surely you can come. I will tell you about that later.
Perth : Ohkay. Well bye.
Santa : Bye!
Perth : Take care na!
Santa : Hmm...bye.

I put my phone aside and lay on the bed.
He is worried about me?
Moreover he also noticed I didnt go to school today.
The probability of him liking me is increasing more and more.
Whatever.

BOOM

'Oh my god, what a hectic day!' I say as I grab a seat in front of Film.
'Are you alright?' she says.
Boom : Yeah yeah. Just the professor gave lots of homework today.
Film : Don't you like interior designing?
Boom : Ofcourse I do! It's just that, it's difficult.
Film : Oh come on. You will be fine. Yeah spill the tea!
Boom : What tea?
Film : View told me something happened yesterday at Aou's house. What was it?
Boom : Oh nothing. Aou got hurt, I aided him.
Film : Is he fine?
Boom : Yeah yeah totally, just bruised his knee a bit, I did apply ointment there.
Film : Ohkay. When will you do it?
Boom : Do what?
Film : Confess your love, fool.
Boom : I. Don't. Want. To.
Film : Amazing Boom. Another year is going to pass by just like that.
Boom : Film. I don't want to.
Film : Yeah yeah sure. Go get food for me now. Go.
