Episode 4

"Let me ask you sweety, Do you want me to be Ms Santa's boyfriend?" Wait what!!? He's not serious is he? " Okay stop. You can't ask such a question from a little kid. That's enough mister! Step away from the kid. " The guy started laughing, " Ms Santa let me tell you something.." I looked at him, " you are a very cute Santa!" He smiled at me and walked away. This guy was a total play boy, anyone can tell that by how he acted now.

"I think he likes you Ms Santa!" One of the kids from the group screamed and he stopped walking. Oh no. No no no. Keep walking Mike, just keep walking. But no he turned around and looked at me," I like you Ms Santa! Be my girlfriend!" What? This can't be happening. He's kidding, I'm sure! There's no way that Mike would ask me such a question or say such a thing. Man he's so smooth with his words. I'm sure he was joking. Thank god I thought quickly and started laughing out loud or else it would have looked like a public proposal. I mean after he said that everyone's attention turned onto me.

"Good one Mike! Hahahahahaha!! You are hilarious Mike!" Wait. Did I just call out his name. The realization just hit me. I called out his name. Oh geez this is not happening to me. I looked away quickly and started walking away with the kids like nothing happened. "Where do you think your going Ms Santa?" He caught up so quickly. What he suppose to be? Flash?

" Be honest with me Ms Santa... do I know you? I mean how do you know me?" I needed to get away from this. There was no way I'll let Mike see me like this. My good deeds must not be spotted and what will happen if he saw my face, he's going to ruin everything for me. No I was not ready to risk it. " What are you talking about sir? I just randomly called a name out to avoid the commotion. Don't tell me it's your real name?" Okay I know, it's an obvious lie but come on I could have got him from it.

"Oh really.." Hooked! I got him. That was a very close call. " Then Ms Santa.." What now? " How about going to dinner with me today?" I understood that I had to say 'yes' or he won't be shaken off, so I went along with it. "Sure thing Mr Mike." "Mike.." He repeated after me. " Call me Mike," he looked at me and smiled. I got away as fast as I could before he could say anything more. "Meet me at the entrance of this amusement part at 7, ok Ms Santa?" I nodded fast and slipped away.

The day went great. I took the kids to the mall and let them buy anything they wanted for Christmas. They were delighted and that delighted me. Back when we went to the orphanage before I left one of the kids told me, "Ms Santa can you put us to bed and leave?" I mean how could I have ever said no to such a request? I couldn't. So I did stay over and read them stories until they fell asleep. Before I left I heard Julie's voice saying " I hope Ms Santa will get a boyfriend this Christmas.." I thought she was talking to me but she was actually sleep talking.

What that tiny girl said still echoes in my mind. I was really happy." Is this the feeling of being loved?" I thought to myself when I was back home. It was sad that the little girl's wish wouldn't come true, at least not that one, but I was touched that someone wished such a thing for me.
