Tom gets up from his couch, Tessa running alongside of him. Tom walks up to the front door, opening it as he sees his best friend, Bradley, smiling widely at him.
"Waaaasup?" Bradley shouts.
"Waaaaasup?" Tom shouts back, laughing as he closed the door after him.
"Who's this little cutie?" Bradley asks, crouching down to pet Tessa.
"Oh, she's my new best friend," Tom smiles, "her name's Tessa." He coos.
"When did you get her?" Bradley asks, "Because I don't remember seeing her around." He chuckles lightly.
Tom clears his throat, chuckling afterwards, "I actually, uh... got her yesterday as a gift from a secret admirer... or secret santa." He says blushing.
"Do you have any idea on who it is?" Bradley asks.
Tom shakes his head, "No, not really. I have the notes though, if you want to see them." He suggests.
Bradley nods, "Yeah, I remembered every girl's handwriting when we went to school. I got this." He says a little too cockily.
Tom laughs, "If you say so, buddy." He shakes his head, going upstairs to grab the secret santa notes. After he collects the two notes he had gotten so far, he walks back downstairs to the living room. He hands the notes to Bradley, sitting down on the couch across from him as Tessa jumps on his lap to lie down. Tom smiles, petting her lovingly as Bradley studies the notes carefully.
Bradley hums, flipping back and forth on the notes. "I think I got it."
"You think so?" Tom asks looking up at him.
"Yeah," Bradley mumbles shaking his head, "Maybe," He sighs, "No." He says feeling defeated.
Tom laughs, "I knew you wouldn't figure it out."
"Shut up," Bradley chuckles as the doorbell rang. "Were you expecting someone?"
Tom shakes his head, "No." He says whilst Tessa moves off of his lap as he gets up to go open the door, revealing Roni with a gift bag.
Roni smiles politely, "Hey, I think this belongs to you." She says handing him the gift bag.
"Uh, thanks." Tom says, looking at her in confusion as he takes the bag from her. "Do you know who's sending these?"
Roni blows a raspberry, sighing afterwards as she shakes her head, "I wish I could tell you, but no. I don't know who." She lies.
"Alright," Tom sighs, "Thank you, Ron." He says motioning toward the gift bag.
"No problem." She smiles, "Oh, and Holland." She calls out as she's already on the bottom of his front porch steps.
"Yeah?" Tom answers, opening the door back up more.
"This mystery girl? No doubt that you'd be the luckiest guy on earth to be with her, just keep that in mind." She reminds him as she smiles and walks away to her house next door.
Tom smiles to himself as he closes the door and looks at the gift bag.
"Who was at the door?" Bradley asks.
Tom jumps out of his thoughts, "Sh- I forgot you were here." He says trying to regain his breath.
Bradley laughs, "Sorry, T."
"Roni was at the door- with this." Tom answers his previous question, showing him the gift bag.
"It's Roni?"
"No. She doesn't know who it's from." Tom shakes his head.
"You're such an idiot, you know that?" Bradley chuckles.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tom asks taken back.
"She knows who's giving these gifts to you."
Tom shakes his head, sitting down on the couch next to a sleeping Tessa. He opens the gift bag, looking for a note from the "secret santa".
"What does it say this time?" Bradley asks.
"I don't know I can't find the note card or anything." Tom says looking in the bag.
"Well then, what did she give you?"
"Oh, right," Tom blushes, "She gave me a jar..."
"A jar?" Bradley asks confused, "What's in it?"
"Paper," Tom answers, "the lid says, Reasons why I fell for you."
"That's cute." Bradley teases.
"Oh shut up, Davis. I don't see you with a girlfriend or a secret santa-admirer." Tom chucks a pillow at Bradley.
"I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding." Bradley shouts, blocking his face as the pillow hits his chest.
Tom shakes his head as he looks through the little strip of Christmas decorated love notes, smiling as he reads through all of them.
"How many reasons are there?" Bradley asks as he looks at the little strip of paper in Tom's hand.
"Twenty five." Tom blushes as he smiles. "I really want to find this girl."
"It could be a guy." Bradley jokes.
"Shut up." Tom pushes Bradley causing him to stumble on his feet.
"I'm just kidding, T," Bradley laughs, "We'll find out who this girl is," he trails off, "eventually." He says as he shrugs.
Tom smacks his lips, shaking his head, "Well, I believe that I'll find out who she is." He sighs, reassuring himself.
