Secret Santa

Now it'll turn out into a tradition to organise secret Santa every last day of the term. We'd pick a name from the hat and we'd have to bring a present for that person.

On Friday last week e picked the names. I picked last so I got to watch everyone's picking moment. I saw each and everyone's look on their face when they unfolded their note with the name enclosed in it as they read it. Some were really disappointed and some brightened up as they were more than pleased with who they got.
Adrian hadn't picked yet, nor did the redhead or me. The redhead picked and the Adrian did too. I was left the last. I stood up, went for the hat, grabbed the very last folded note and I slowly started opening it. I prayed just like Harry Potter on the sorting ceremony

' Not Underwood, Not Underwood...'

HE WASN'T ON MY NOTE. I NEED A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE!!.

The person on my note was that girl I had a weird attraction since the first day. Emma told me she's a really cool gal. Her name is Anja Elliot. Her father is Croatian, her mom British. They moved here when her mother broke up with her father. She is a fair bit rich. But Emma claims she is very giving and not smug at all. I don't know anything about this gal. So I think I'm going to ask Emma and Aya to a movie and we'd also invite Ethan ( just so I'm not the only guy) and Anja. We were off to The Martian starring actor Matt Damon.

The movie was phenomenal. The downside was that I did not have the faintest idea Ethan was going to bring Caleb who then brought... drum rolls... Adrian.
As we shook hand I looked as hot as I could straight into his charming cobalt eyes and winked at him. I leaned back to Emma and Ayla :

' You better bring you A game 'cause you're making him sit next to me '

' What do you have in mind? '

' Just a little bit of that and a little bit of this '

We got seats and popcorn. I don't know what and how Ayla and Emma did but I was flanked by Anja on my right side and by Adrian on my left side. It was a 3D movie so he couldn't've seen my eyes nor could I but I knew he was expecting some bad shit to happen since the moment he realised his seat is next to mine.

' Why are you so tense Adrian? ' I asked exactly what he'd be asking me the first month where I was just succumbing into anxiety due to his pestering. I thought I'd just serve him first one of his own. As the movie went on I'd continue on my cruise to drive him crazy. I leaned on him and stole from his popcorn and told him he'd look good in Adam's costume. Of course, he thought I wasn't meaning this as a queer guy but rather as someone who's following the eye for an eye principle who hits back with the same weapons. So I was safe. The cherry on top? No one was hearing what I was doing apart from Anja because it was all whispering. I know I didn't plan this to get another shot at Adrian but I can't miss an opportunity now, can I?

Anja would later on tell me that she loved every bit of what I served Adrian.

I felt like the movie was nearing to an end so I thought of one last thing to do. One thing to top all of them. And then it was his drink was on his right coaster. So when he grabbed for his drink he laid his hand on that side of the chair. Do you follow with me? I placed my hand on top of his. My heartbeats spiked and the blood rush but my nervousness was justified... whereas his not so much. He surprised me though. He didn't retreat his hand. In fact, what happened next is probably the turning point of when I fell in love with him. He leaned towards me and kissed my neck. My heart stopped and my mind froze. Why? What? But... Why? Then he intertwined his fingers with mine and whispered ' Looks like I still hold the power but nice fight '. I retreated my hand almost violently. I resumed watching the rest of the movie and ignored him for the rest of the movie. As the credits rolled on the screen and everyone was jolting up to leave he told me:

' Before you get up be sure to hide that erection. Though it's not disappointing. '

OMG!! THE GUTS HE HAS!!

I didn't even have a semi-erection. Like dude what's up with you upstairs and where are all the creepy sexual comments and jokes coming from?
The best thing is that on our way to the food court ( we were starving ) was that I got to befriend Anja. She told me it was the only logical thing for Adrian to do after the ball moment. She thinks that it'll actually get worse for me and that I should get ready for the war now. But apart from discussing Underwood's underlying mental issues I also found out she paints like a goddess and reads a lot of philosophy. Thus I knew the perfect gift for Secret Santa. Which I delivered exquisitely wrapped and a heartfelt Christmas card.
