Episode 7

"Well Mike, if you really wanna know I'll tell you why.." I was getting second thoughts on telling him but I went along with it either way. After all it wasn't like I would find anyone to talk to about my stuff anyway and him not knowing me and knowing the things about me would be fine. He nodded his head, for a second there he looked like a little puppy wagging it's tail at his master.

" I wear a beard or dress myself as Ms Santa because... I want to surprise the kids with a real life Santa, but what better Santa can you find other than yourself. Am I right?" He giggled," and?" He questioned me. Surely he figured that I had more to what I had to say from the tone I spoke. " And.." I continued, " I am ....ugly.." There was a silence between us for a while. He didn't say anything, probably because he was shocked or was wondering to himself 'what on earth have I gotten myself into?' Either way the silence between the both of us was sinking in and he just simply kept looking at me. I was too afraid to look at him right now so I didn't. I was looking elsewhere, scared of what his face looked like right now.

Something tickled me on my ear. It was his fingers they gently and slowly removed my beard off of me. I was shocked. After all that I told him, he'd still take it off? Of course he would have been curious but this was not right. He shouldn't have done that, but either way I guess it's for the best, at least then he'd leave me be. " Are you happy now that you saw me?" There was nothing else that I could ask him after he took off my beard anyway. I gave him a rather bitter smile and looked at the floor. I wasn't exactly sure of what was going on in his head but he was simply looking at me, probably he was disgusted by how I looked.

"Can I ask you one tiny question Ms Santa?" He finally spoke after all that. "I can't believe you'd actually talk to me nicely and even call me Ms Santa after seen me....What's your question?" For some reason I couldn't ignore him or put his doubts about me away like I had done to every other person. The way I felt about him was different compared to every other person I've ever met. "What's your name little Ms Santa?" I hated him for being so kind to me. " It's Venessa. Venessa Willer." I told him. It was like although I didn't want him to know me, a part of me deep within wanted him to know me.

"Venessa, ey? It's a pretty name." I just kept looking down because I wasn't sure of what to say to him. "Let me tell you something Venessa... You have the most gorgeous voice I've ever heard.." Now I knew why he kept on chasing behind me, it was my voice, wait. He wasn't done, "..and do you know you have the most beautiful heart I've ever seen... and it's funny that you don't realize how pretty you are." I choked when he said that, like literally choked. "Mike, your eyes okay? Or are you just playing with my feelings coz that would have honestly hurt." He chuckled under his breath and looked at me, " no I'm actually being honest Venessa." My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't calm myself down. There was no way this guy was actually serious about what he's saying.

" Your joking!" I rephrased, but he looked at me more serious this time and he held both my hands and looked me into my eyes. " Venessa I know we just met but the time that I spent with you had being the most fun times I've had in my life. You know it's funny that you don't realize how pretty you are.." He chuckled under his breath and continued, ".. Do you know I fell in love with you the first moment I laid my eyes upon you, and I tried to make it obvious how much I like you but you just simply showed my feelings away like it was nothing..." He paused for a few seconds there and right now my mind was going 'blaaaaaaaaaannnnnnkk' I didn't know what to think, it felt like I was in a story book.

" Venessa will you..." He paused again. "Will I what?" I can't believe I asked him that, but I did. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He was the first guy who actually said such a thing to me. I never thought that anyone would fall in love with me like that and this whole thing felt like a fairy tale to me. I was going to say 'no' but why would I? I wanted my fairy tale and I could feel that his feelings towards me was genuine.

I smiled at him, this time it was the first smile I've ever showed anyone as a true smile, and I said " yes I will." I might have being too quick to say yes, but hey love happens in mysterious ways and I knew this Christmas I won't be alone. I now had someone to share my dreams with and little Julie's dream came true as well, I really did get a boyfriend and one of he kindest ones. Miracles do happen, only when it's the right time for it.
