Jingle Bells

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

He tries his best to concentrate on his work, even with his girlfriend running around the office and ordering people around to help her set up the decorations for the party. However, she's insisted on playing Christmas music again and right now, he doesn't think he can handle it.

You better watch out, you better not cry...

"Nini," he calls, sticking his head out of his office.

She turns and looks at him from where she's trying to explain to someone how to perfectly wrap tinsel around the giant tree in the lobby. "Yeah?" She asks him innocently.

He gestures for her to come over, and she says something to the guy she's talking to before shoving the tinsel in his hands and walking over to Ricky. He takes a step to the side, and she walks into his office. He follows her, shutting the door behind them.

"Nini, I know you have this party planned to perfection, and I know you can't set it up by yourself in time, but you're kinda screwing everything up right now."

She frowns. "We're almost done- "

"I know. But the music and you sending my people off to put up decorations instead of doing their actual jobs and you just running around the office, it's... it's too much."

"Well, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to calm down."

"I'm perfectly calm. I just want this party to be perfect like you wanted."

"Nins, I don't even want a party."

"What?"

"I don't like Christmas."

"But I thought- "

"I'm trying, baby. For you. But- "

"But you're getting annoyed with me." She says frowning and looking towards the ground.

"Nini- "

"No, no, it's fine. I'll calm down."

He presses his lips together. "I'm sorry. I'm being the worst."

She doesn't say anything, avoiding eye contact with him."

"Hey," he says gently, trying to lift her chin so she'll look at him.

He sees the tears in her eyes, and his face falls. "Nins, I'm sorry- "

"You're fine," she says quickly, her voice shaking slightly. "I- I don't know why I'm so emotional. I'm okay. Promise."

He swallows. "I love you."

"I love you too."
