Seventy-One: I Still Believe In Santa Claus"I can’t believe they’re working, what a trashy thing to do," Adria sighed picking at a piece of tape on an unopened present, the room was loaded with unopened presents. "Look at that," she gestured at the TV. "The Tanners are stuck at the airport and they still manage to have the best Christmas in the history of Christmas.""Yeah, that cleaning fetish the skinny guy’s got is really ideal," Bas replied and she frowned at him. "Sorry Ad, I forgot the Tanners are sacred, a thousand apologies, so, could I get your secret opinion on something," he pulled out a powder blue box and opened it. "Wow! Who’s it for?" Adria asked, she viewed her older brother and sister like ultimate editions of Page Six. Within seconds Sebastian was forced to hurriedly hide the box beneath a pillow as Ava entered the room unannounced. "Mia let me in," Avalon proclaimed warily from the doorway, "I would have brought my gifts over yesterday but everything’s kind of piled up on me, I really didn’t mean to bust in on your holiday like this-" "There’s nothing to bust in on;" Adria admitted glumly then immediately perked up. "Forget it, I’m opening Ava’s family gift while she’s here, Bas here, there’s one special for you, open it, I’m sick of this they can’t just stop Christmas from happening." Ava watched them apprehensively. "Don’t get too excited, its nothing-" "Gingerbread cookies, thank god, they won’t let me eat sugar around here, it’s practically a concentration camp, well, not really but you get what I mean, I love these Ava," Adria gushed. Bas tore open his gift as Ava leaned over with her forehead in her hands, she thought for sure he’d laugh at what she gave him, instead he was sitting there looking confused. "It’s just a picture of the sunset, on your cliff, I wanted to get a great frame for it but cab fare these days is just out of this world and-" He was standing next to her by then and Adria was watching the entire scene with great interest as she nibbled away on her second cookie. "This, it’s great, I didn’t expect-" "That’s all right," she said hurriedly. "I really have to get home to my mom," And she was gone and he was left standing there. "Men! ‘I didn’t expect’- you say- she thought you meant you didn’t expect she’d get you anything and so she thinks you didn’t get her anything. Doofus, why didn’t you give her the necklace?" "Because, Ad, I think I’d get about fifty extra points for originality on something else, something better, I just don’t know what." He admitted while gazing at the photo. |
