Part 31: Santa Claus

December 23rd, 2019

I promised Max I wouldn't work today. I told him I would spend the day with him and Luna. Luna never got to meet Santa yet, so he scowered all of New York City for the most realistic Santa for her to meet. I must say though driving all the way into Manhattan didn't really sound like a great way to spend my time today though. I still have gifts to wrap and more decorations to put up for our Christmas Party. Not to mention I have to make sure Max's gift is perfect. It's our first Christmas together and I want it to be special. He has been up my ass lately though. Always trying to get me in the mood. I don't want to though. He just keeps bugging and I'm running out of excuses.

Getting out of the car, I unbuckle Luna as Max pays the meter. I found the perfect little Christmas dress for her to wear for the picture with Santa. Here's hoping she isn't scared like most young children when they meet the big jolly elf for the first time. Although Luna isn't one to shy away from anyone. She's so personable thanks to being around everyone at the Dam. The one nice thing about having our own private practice facility is that Luna can be close at hand with us always. My munchkin brings joy to everyone. She'll make work so much better than before.

"So I was thinking, we get our photo with Santa and then maybe do lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Whatcha think?" Lunch? I barely survived breakfast this morning and he wants to talk about lunch? Kill me now. I'm going to be sick if I have to eat anything else today.

"Whatever you want, Babe." We head into Gimble's and walk through the department store, pushing Luna in her stroller. Her eyes go to every little festive thing she can find. Her happy babbles bring a smile to my face. She's the best. So happy, all the time. We pass by the clothing department and of course, Max still has his mind on one thing.

"Hey...how about Mrs. Claus tries this one? Santa may enjoy it immensely." He holds up a sexy Santa Lingerie mighty that is beyond see through and conveniently comes with a tiny Santa hat barrette. I roll my eyes and keep walking.

"So that's a no?"

"Come on. The line will be across the store if you keep stalling." I say to him and hear him groan as he catches back up.

"I'm sure I could find a nice boudoir outfit for the holidays. If that'll get things moving in the fun directions." Ah Max, why can't you just enjoy being with me without having to touch me?

"I think not. Ah, there it is. Look Luna! Santa!" She bounces in her seat and giggles.

"Maybe you should sit on Santa's lap and ask for a gift." Max mumbles to himself. Pouting- like usual.

"Maybe you should. Ask for a blow up friend." A Mum in front of us turns around and glares at me. I zip my lip and pull my phone out.

"I would have thought I didn't require one of those since my girlfriend is so loving..." Raising my eyebrows, I move my jaw to one side and look him over. He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. "And who are you messaging now? You're always on that thing any more."

"My other boyfriend. I'm telling him I'm gonna be late because I'm dropping my children off at the orphanage." I send a message to Lauren and put my phone away.

"Well, then...I hope he enjoys being celibate...I surely don't." Mumbling. Fucking mumbling. Whining as well. Pouting!

"Then why don't you ask Santa for a new girlfriend. If you're that disappointed with the current one." I leave him the stroller and start off away from the line, storming off.

"Helen!" I'm so pissed. You would have thought he'd be more considerate. He's not fully healed yet and I am rather unconcerned about sexual appetites at the moment. My blood is boiling. It wasn't that long ago he wouldn't even touch me and now- that's all he wants to think about. Ridiculous! He calls me. I hit ignore. He wants to act like a arse, then he'll get treated like one.
