*Selena's pov*
That night, after we went shopping I sat in my luxurious living room. I was watching one of my favorite Christmas movies. It was called A Christmas Carol. I was on the part when the ghost of Christmas past was leading Scrooge through his young life.
While watching them zoom around I came up with an idea. All of us could do a secret Santa at the party. The party would take place in four days. So I paused the movie and called Taylor because she was the party's hostess.
As the phone rang I decided to make myself some tea. Finally Taylor answered. "Hey."
"Hey Tay. "
"Oh hey Sel. What's up."
"I have an idea for the party."
"What is it?"
"I was thinking we could do a secret Santa thing."
'Omg that's a great idea. "
"I know right."
"I'll write everybody's name down on a piece of paper and put them in a hat. Tomorrow I will start handing them out or having you guys come to my house and get them."
"Ok sounds like a plan."
"Goodnight Selena. "
"Goodnight Tay." I hung up the phone and walked back to my couch with my tea in hand.
$$ the next morning$$
*Taylor's pov*
I had already been up for two hours. I was now cutting up the strips of paper and placing them in a hat with names on it. It felt weird to be writing Justin's name since I didn't particularly like him.
I threw them into my black sparkly hat. I called Sel and said everything was done. Good thing she was up I had to get this done since it was 36 hours till the party. She asked me if I wanted her to come over or meet her somewhere. Just come over now I told her.
"Ok." She responded. I hung up the phone and listened to music as I started to write a song while waiting. After "shake it off" I needed to make sure that my next single was as big of a hit. I had inspired hate and praise from that song. I wanted my next single to be as poppy.
*Catherine's pov*
I was just about to start taking my shower when I felt like I should check up on the girls. I called Sel first. I heard the ringing and sighed when she didn't pick up. I thought it was weird that she hadn't picked up.
I decided if she didn't call back by the time I was out of my shower then I would call Taylor. I gathered up my outfit from my dresser and closet. I dressed in a red and black plaid shirt, distressed skinny jeans and grey vans.
*Miriam's pov*
I was getting out of my shower when I faintly heard the phone. I ran to my room wrapped up in my towel and picked up the phone. It was Catherine. "Hey."
"Hey what's up."
"Um just getting out of my shower."
"Oh sorry. I am not doing anything."
"It's ok I'll just get my clothes from the bathroom."
"Ok. Have you heard from Taylor?"
"No why?"
"Because."
"Because why."
"She didn't tell you about my idea for the party. "
"No."
"Ok well I was thinking we could do a secret Santa thing at the party."
"Oh ok that sounds fun. How are we gonna decide who gets who?"
"Taylor will meet us somewhere or we will go to her house."
"Alright tell Taylor to call me or you can."
"Ok."
"Bye Catherine."
"Bye Miriam."
*Justin's pov*
I had just finished a recording session with Scooter and Usher when my phone blasted out the "wait for a minute" ringtone. " Wait for a minute
Can wait for a minute?
Yeah, wait for a minute
Wait for a minute
Girl, just a minute
Well, if you walk with me
Well, if you take my hand babe
We can go to a place you ain't never seen before
Slow dance in the moonlight
I'm just tryna set the mood right
I'm just doing what a dude do
Do it over and over and over
Quickly wanna run with me now
Swiftly just come with me now
Foot steps go to the beat now
Over and over and over
It's just the way, that way, that way, that you do me babe
All, I can say, that say, that say, that I'd behave
But I'd be lying babe
Just wanna wait for a minute (wait for a minute)
Wait for a minute, babe (wait for a minute)
Just wanna wait for a minute (play for a minute)
I dream place for a minute, place for a minute babe." I answered it reluctantly when I noticed that Taylor was calling. "..hello?"
"Hey Justin."
"Umm hi... Taylor?" I was so confused by her calling me."
She firmly replied that she was only calling because she wanted to meet me somewhere to discuss a secret Santa thing for the Christmas party. Well then this was awkward. She asked me where I wanted to meet. "Let me think a second I have to remember what's around here."
"Ok."
When I remembered I spoke again. "There is a Starbucks, a grocery store, Hastings."
"Let's meet at Starbucks."
"Ok. What time."
"Fifteen minutes. "
"Ok." I hung up the phone. It sure was awkward talking to her since she didn't like me at all.
I didn't rush over there. I listened to music on the way. When I got to the parking lot it was super crowded. I circled the parking lot until someone pulled out and I was able to park. I stepped out of my car and nipped to the entrance of Starbucks.
Inside Starbucks was the mostly constant sound of indie music and the smell of coffee. I sat down waiting for Taylor. I looked up and saw a tall blonde figure approached. The sun was in my eyes I put my hands over my eyes.
She sat down and her red lips glinted in the sun. I tried to look at her eyes but I was distracted by the red of her lips. She told me I was invited to the party. She held out a shiny black hat. She asked me to pull a piece of paper out of it. "Why."
"We are going to do secret Santa."
"Ok.." I reached into the hat and pulled out a name. I smiled as I read it. I had gotten Miriam. I knew exactly what to get her. Taylor looked at me with puzzlement.
"See you at the party then Justin."
"Ok."
*Taylor's pov*
As I strolled out of Starbucks I heard people whistling. Ignoring them I put my shades on and confidently got in my pink Chevy Silverado. Throughout the day I drove around making sure everyone got secret Santa's. By the time it was 5:00 I drove home and cuddled up with my cats and fell asleep.
