I always liked teasing Rica.
One time we have a lot of free-time from work. The schedules are not tight and everyone is doing anything to kill-time. But Rica asked for my permission to go home.
Since her apartment was just near the building, I decided to buy her a drink and then we talked something about topics outside work.
"Why do you like NSYNC? I've heard they are weird." I tease her. I was given her debate face.
"NSYNC, first of all, is not weird. And second of all, they're amazing." It says. I just laughed at her because of the way she defended NSYNC.
"You are the weird one on the other hand." He returned my jokes back.
Go ahead, Game on!
"I always act weird," I said to Rica.
We laughed because all our topics were about being weird we can't even explain why we had that conversation.

December 22nd.
I invited everyone in ED to go outside and have dinner. Since the department was already finished with their assigned task, I allowed the others to drink.
I enjoyed the get-together but what I enjoyed most is our conversation with Rica.
We were laughing because the other guys in ED were already drunk. Then I look at her and ask for permission to try her glasses on.
"Of course, but do not try for a long time." She warned.
"Do not worry, it's okay," I said then gave her a smile. Because it's almost the 25th, I asked her what she wanted for Christmas.
She pondered the answer to my question. But I just waited for her to answer. I know she's living on her own now because her parents are in Cleveland Ohio. She liked the thought of it that it took her a long time to answer my question.
"All I want for Christmas is hugs."
That was just a simple request from this woman. It just made me fall for her even more. And I was thinking... Can I give her what she is asking for on Christmas?
