Kirsten's POV
---------------------------------
I've been rustling and rustling through stores trying to find the perfect gift for Cameron. Ugh why do boys have to be so not interested enough to give hits about what they want for Christmas. He says he had the perfect gift for me, but I want to get him something really nice.

"You know we're not going to find your present in my sock drawer!", shouted Camille from the living room.

"I'm not looked for my present, in looking for my wallet. Oh, found it!"

"Why do you need your wallet. Did you not get everyone their gifts yet?", she asked as if doing that was a crime.

"I've gotten everyone's gift, except for Cameron. I want to get him really special. That's why I'm going to the mall. To try and find something expensive.", I said.

"Why expensive?", she asked.

"Because it does. Now bye, I have some boyfriend shopping to do.", I said as I headed out the door.

Camille's POV
---------------------------------
I called Linus on his cell. I'm asking if he knows what Cameron is getting Kirsten. That way I can give Kirsten an idea of what to get Cameron.

"Linus?"

"Hey, Camille,"

"Um, hey. Do you happen to know what Cameron is getting Kirsten."

"Sorry, Camille. He won't even tell me.", said Linus.

"Oh, well she's kind of having a hard time finding a present for Cameron. Do you have any ideas of what she can get him?"

"Well maybe she can get him a new pair of glasses. He broke them while him and Kirsten were---you know.", he said.

"Um yeah, I don't think glasses are a meaningful gift."

"Well I don't know then. What are getting Kirsten?", Linus asked.

"I'm getting her a signed autograph Tim McGraw album."

"Cool. How'd you get it signed?", he asked.

"Don't ask.", I said.

Kirsten's POV
---------------------------------
I don't get it. Why is there such heavy traffic in the morning. It's bad enough I have branches in my hair because I rolled the window down and while passing the tree, the branches were sticking so far out they got tangled in my hair. The first thing I'm doing when I get to the mall is going to bathroom to take this thing out. Ugh even the parking lot is jammed. I finally got a parking spot and went inside. It was probably the most wild rush hour sequence in a mall I've ever seen. And it's not even Black Friday! Some people must be trying to get their last minute presents. Plus there were all these little things for kids, like Santa's Workshop, or taking pictures with Santa, petting the reindeer, and all the other Christmas stuff you could think of. Egg nog for adults, gingerbread house making. I'll never get the perfect gift if I can't get to it. I gazed over a few stores ahead of me and saw a few bottles of men's cologne on a counter. I started running because I knew that if I took my time I'd probably get there tomorrow. I reached the counter. The woman at the counter, Lydia, frowned at me.

"Miss, were closed.", said Lydia.

"It's only 11:39.", I said, checking the clock.

"We can't take anymore customers! Bye now!", she said with a irritated look as she put the closed since sign on the door and literally pushed me out. That really pissed me off. But I had to keep my calm and try and find something different. I looked around and I saw a store full of watches and chains. I ran thinking this was going to be it. All of this will be over and I can go back home with relief. I walked in the store and was greeted kindly. I saw a watch and I kind of flash backed to where Cameron hit that guy with a bucket. He said he really liked that watch. And here it is. Right in front of me. And for a good price too. I took the watch up to the clerk and he said he'd get right with me in a polite way. I looked towards the left and I saw two people yelling. Two women were getting their husbands watches. Surprisingly both husbands wanted the same watch and it was only found in this store. The first lady grabbed the other ones hair and the other grabbed the first lady's foot. The clerk broke everything up and told everyone to exit and had the two chained until the police came. I ran up to the clerk and asked him if he could hold on to the watch for me and he said with his soul. I left the store thinking I was happy. But I was upset. That wasn't a really good gift. I need something that's meaningful that shows my love for him, not a memory of him. I bet his is going to be the best present ever and I'm going to look like an old bag trying to get a last minute present. I felt like a didn't have a choice, need a miracle. Then I heard the noise of sleigh bells and laughter of children. Santa. And yes I know what you're thinking, and no I don't believe in Santa Clause, but maybe he can give me an idea. I dragged myself in the line feeling foolish. All these little 6 and 7 year old kids who want toys and then this 24 year old woman who needs advice. It was finally my turn and I sat on Santa's lap. He chuckled knowing I was too big for this by now.

"What would you like for Christmas Kirsten?"

"You know my name? How?"

"I'm Santa Clause! I know everyone's name!!"? He said as everyone looked in awe.

"Well, all I want for Christmas is the perfect gift for my boyfriend. Do you think you can help you with that?", I said. He started stroking his beard and looked up at me.

"Well I'm sure all he'll want for Christmas is your love.", he said. I smiled knowing he was right. Cameron wouldn't care if I didn't get him anything if in a way he knew I cared about him.

"Thanks, Santa." I said about to get up. But he stopped me.

"Before you go Kirsten, I still want to give you a present.", he pulled out a tiny matte blue case from his Santa Sack, and gave it to me. I opened it and my heart dropped. I looked at Santa and I realized he had my boyfriend's eyes.

"Cameron?", I said with a whisper in fear.

"Merry Christmas, baby.", Cameron said with a whisper as he got up and got on one knee.

"Oh my god.", I said with tears forming up in my eyes.

"Kirsten you are the love of my life. You make me laugh, and you make everything in life more interesting and important. So I wanted to do the same for you. Kirsten Clark, I would live everyday you live and die the day you die. Today if you choose so we can both be each other's Christmas gift. I know about the watch and cologne I set it all up so you would realize all we need is each other. Kirsten...Will you marry me?"

I looked around trying to make out everyone's face but Cameron's was crystal clear.

"Yes!!", I said as the whole mall cheered and Cameron kissed me lips as my fiancé.
I guess soon I can't call him Girlfriend anymore. Might just have to call him Wifey.
