❄️ december 4th ❄️

i change my clothes for four times before i find the one i like, and when i get to the store i doubt. i don't know the guy and i already gave him my number and now i'm going to go out with him. am i really going to let him take me somewhere i don't know? i sigh. he doesn't look like a bad boy or anything, but not everybody is trustable.

i shake my head and walk into the store. he is standing in the middle of the principal corridor, looking at something in the shelve. i smile and walk towards him trying to be in silence. he has his attention fully on the cat food that is in the shelve and he doesn't notice me. "boo" i mumble in his ear and he literally jumps and looks at me as if i was a cat killer.

"i could be dead by now just because of you" he says jokingly.

i smile and roll my eyes "i'm sorry, ashton" i laugh at his pissed facial expression "so, when are you going to take me with you?"

i have to remember why am i here. i want my decorations and even if i might need a friend, my perfect christmas is the main thing at the moment.

"now" ashton says "i just have to change my cloths, if you can wait a few minutes..."

"yeah, of course" is my answer, and after less than ten minutes, ashton is back here. when he left for the changing rooms, he wore a shirt from the store and black skinny jeans. now he's wearing those black skinnies and a red tee.

he looks good and i can see it.

he leads me to his car when we got out of the store and smiles at me as we both sit in it. after ten minutes of silent driving, ashton parks at a street full of stores with christmassy lights and i feel like heaven. "this is my friend michael's store. well, it's not his, but he works here." the boy chuckles "he told me he has the deer."

"really!?" i almost shout, failing at keeping my excitement.

"yeah" ash chuckles again "why do you want a deer anyways?"

"because deers mean christmas" i say "duh"

ashton guides me inside the store and he hugs someone. it's a boy, taller than ashton and with shiny red hair. all i can think is wow. first because who has the privilege of wearing a red hair like that one and still look good and second because i admire how he doesn't seem to give a shit about what people think about it. when they pull apart, the red haired boy looks at me and i smile "this is alexa" ashton says "she is the girl i told you about, the one who wanted a deer for her christmas decoration."

the boy laughs and i blush a little. ashton talk with him about me and i can't even know if it is a good or a bad thing. "i'm michael" he greets "i like your jumper"

i look at it and blush even more deeply. i was wearing a reindeer jumper. "i live in a summery place so when i came here and saw all these beautiful christmas things i went crazy"

they laugh and then michael leads us to the back of the store where he takes something and hands it to me. it is a little deer, shaped in dark wood. it's beautiful and in some way, i know this is what i was looking for "oh my gosh, it's amazing thank you michael" i hug him, don't caring the fact that i just met him and when i pull away, i hug ashton "thank you very much" and i kiss him in the cheek.
