I spend the next few days helping my mother with her preparations for Christmas dinner and before I knew it, Christmas Eve is here and my family and I are decorating cookies before bed.

Once my parents are tired enough I go to my room and make myself comfortable.

That's when I get an incoming call.

Tego.

The last time I spoke to him, he was very moody so I only condoned a few texts but would avoid his calls but for some reason I felt like I should answer this time.

"Hi." He sounds relieved.

"Hi."

"What's going on? I haven't heard from you in so long."

It's been a few day. Please bffr.

"Nothing unusual. Just excited for Christmas now." I say to him.

"Christmas? What? You're gonna get a lot of gifts?" He sounds amused.

Now that I think about it, I've spent this entire season doing so much preparation and gathering gifts and I never once thought about getting anything for Tego.

Why should I? It's not like he plans on getting anything for me.

As far as I see it, Tego sees me as a casual fuck but I do like him enough to want more.

"I hope so." I answer him.

He laughs. "I hope so too."

We talk for a bit more before Tego eventually tells me that he's tired so he's going to bed.

Tego's P.O.V.

I feel so bad for how I've been treating my princess recently but she has no idea what I've been going through recently and it's not exactly stuff that I would like to recall.

Tomorrow is Christmas and everyone is going to be spending time with their families. Luckily, I don't have to worry about all that family stuff. It might be an overall busy day for me so I decide to get a head start on my day by making some calls to have things arranged for the day.

I check the time. It's already Christmas.

It's 2 AM.

Merry Christmas to me.

I send my princess a quick text message before freshening up to go out and stop by her house.

Not that I think this will solve anything because like..

Jade nuh frighten fi tings at all.

Which is why it was so hard to get something for her.

But I do hope it will show her that I care.

I care a lot for her and I hope she feels the same way about me.

I pick up the phone to call Chino.

"Yo, why pree?" He answers.

Man sometimes e better fi nuh have nuh bloodclaat friend. How him a answer the phone at this hour and know wah mi deh pan and a guh seh "Why pree?"

Feel like heng up but I just kiss my teeth instead.

He laughs. "Yuh miserable like. Mi and my girl soon forward."

I kiss my teeth once more and hang up.

As promised though, Chino pulls up very soon and I have to squeeze myself in the backseat as we make our way to Jade's house.
