As your parents left you alone for Christmas, you invited me in your mansion. I put the gift I bought under the Christmas tree and slap your hand playfully as you try to see what it is.

Don't cheat, Cheryl ! You can only open it tomorrow !!

You protest, and I can't help but to find you adorable. I know I shouldn't. We're best friends since middle school. We got along well and I knew I had a chance since you liked girls too. But that's what I was : your friend.

I didn't count the times you talked about girls you liked. You even dated one, Heather, and I was so jealous I avoided you for a good week. When she dumped you, I was there, comforting you. It had always been you for me.

You interrupted my thoughts by leading me to the dining room where stood the decorated table with more food that I've seen in the whole month.

Wow, Cheryl ! It's for Christmas eve ? Just...wow... And your dress is just breathtaking. You're...I'm gonna repeat myself but...wow.
