It was finally December, the month that I had been dreading. Don't get me wrong. I love the holidays, especially when I have someone to spend them with. But, this year I don't have anybody to spend it with. My mom is deceased and my dad doesn't give a hoot about me, and my boyfriend Bruno is on tour across the seas and only God knows when he'll come back. I don't mind spending Christmas with Geronimo, but I can't kiss him on the lips or have sex with him. I know, how pathetic of me. It's just that everywhere I go and everywhere I look, children are laughing and playing, and couples are smiling and kissing underneath every mistletoe in sight. It just made me miss Bruno even more. I did do some Christmas shopping, and I went all out and bought Bruno two new guitars, a red electric one and a tropical colored acoustic one to remind him of Hawaii. Sure, it was a couple hundreds of dollars, but it was worth it. Hopefully he could come home today, because it's Christmas Eve. I was currently on my lunch break at work, sitting at a table by myself, nothing unusual about it. I was taking another bite of my double cheeseburger, when my phone rang. I took one look at the name, and that was all it took for me to get butterflies. "Hey B," I answered, sitting my sandwich in the other hand. "Hey my special K," he replied, using my nickname that he had given me. I was hoping that he was calling to tell me that he needed me to pick him up from the airport because he would be home for Christmas. "So, what time should I pick you up," I asked, smiling and fantasizing about seeing him in person. As soon as he let out that heavy sigh and nervous laughter, my smile slowly faded.
Bruno's POV
I sighed heavily sighed in the phone again, standing in the studio back home. "I'm sorry Kaniyah. There had been a last minute change of plans." There was silence on the phone, and I know she was trying to process it. "What do you mean by a change of plans Bruno," she said, her voice a little unsteady. I was trying to hold in my laughter, because I wasn't still on tour. The guys and I decided to come back home early for the holidays to spend it with our families. Kaniyah didn't know that though, but their wives did. "My manager arranged for us to stay on tour until February," I said slowly, hoping she wouldn't get too upset. The guys are going to put me in a box and make it look like an actual package, and they're going to place me on our front porch. I wanted to spend time with her because I know the holidays have been kind of hard for her since her mother's passing. Or if not the box thing, I'm just gonna have one of them drive me home, so she won't see my car. Needless to say, I wanted to be the one to make her smile. On top of me coming home for Christmas, I'm also going to ask her to take my hand in marriage. She was the one and only person in the world for me. "So you're not going to be here for Christmas," she sniffled, swiping me out of my thoughts. I hated so bad for her to cry. "Baby, we can video chat each other for Christmas li-" "It won't be the same," she choked. "My break is over now Bruno. I'll talk to you soon." And with that, she hung up.
Kaniyah's POV
I had to hang up from Bruno before I completely lost it. I couldn't even focus on my job anymore. Right as I was heading back to my desk, I saw another woman sitting in my seat, so I kindly approached her. "Hi there," I said, making her look up. She looked me up and down, as if I were bothering her. "May I help you?" I sucked my teeth. "I was going to ask you the same thing. You're in my office," I said, putting my things on the desk. She cut her eyes at me, and then she looked at me with pity. "Oh you poor thing, nobody told you yet, huh?" I furrowed my eyebrows at her. She smirked and shook her head. "You've been replaced, hun. Deal with it," she said, sliding my belongings all over the ground. I was already hurt by Bruno not being here, but I was not going to let this lady hurt me. "I wasn't aware, so until I hear it from my manager, I'm no-" "Kaniyah. There was an overload of complaints from your coworkers about your work ethic. Honestly, I'm tired of hearing them, and I'm tired of you putting your emotions before your job," said my manager, Karen. I rolled my eyes. "I'm tired of you not paying me for the amount of work that I do," I huffed, slipping my purse on my shoulder and flipping them both off and walking to my car in the parking lot. I opened my car door, and felt the tears threatening to fall down my face. I got in and started the engine, and made my way home. Damn. I was out of a job, and all by myself. I approached the front door and unlocked it to see Geronimo jumping up and wagging his tail. Besides Bruno, that dog could make me forget about my worries. I closed the door behind me, and rubbed his belly. "Hey boy," I said, in a childish voice. He kept running around in circles, and panting and wagging his tail. "Why are you so happy," I laughed as he gave me kisses. As if he were trying to answer my question, he took me by the hand with his teeth and led me into the kitchen. I looked from him to the kitchen tables where there were two plates full of food. There was steam coming off the food, so someone must have just finished cooking. Wait, who the fuck was in my house? I slipped off both of my heels, and I was holding them in a defense position in case something happened. I slowly peered around the corner, only to see a bouquet of roses. Now I was really confused. Who knows where I live? As I was going to look at the roses, I felt a pair of hands slowly slide around my waist. I jumped and was about to stab the person with my heel, but he stopped me. "Guess who's home for Christmas," he smirked, those beautiful brown eyes staring down into mine. I dropped my shoes, and cried into his arms. Bruno's arms. They were my favorite place to be in. He rubbed my back to soothe me.
Bruno's POV
Yeah, we decided not to go with the box thing. Kaniyah was crying her heart out, and I was just holding her. "I thought you were not coming home until after the new year," she chuckled, a few moments after calming down. I smiled and wiped her tears. "I couldn't leave my fiance alone on Christmas," I slyly said. She chuckled and ruffled my hair. "I'm not your fi *gasp* Bruno! What are you doing," she asked, getting choked up again as I dent down on one knee. I took her hand and kissed it. "Kaniyah, I fell in love with you the day I saw you. You complete me in every way. I want to share every moment of my life with you, I will take care of you and I will never make you cry. I promise to never leave you alone, I promise to be with you for life. Will you marry me?" She covered her mouth with her free hand and nodded. I showed her the ring and easily slid it on her finger. She pulled me up and kissed me, and Geronimo happily barked and ran around in circles. I guess I did kind of make her cry, but it was with good intentions.
