I looked around. “Wait for what? What else is there?”
I noticed he was carrying a black backpack, which he now removed from his shoulder.
“You can’t have a Christmas party without music and appetizers, Sarah.”
He pulled a Santa Claus statue of some kind out of his bag. He pressed a button on its feet before placing it on the ground next to us. Santa began swaying his hips to the tune of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
“You could’ve just played music on your phone, but he’s adorable.”
“Music from my phone wouldn’t have been as embarrassing. It’s more fun to watch your face turn red right now.”
Next, he took out some Christmas cookies in a plastic container that looked like they’d come from the supermarket bakery sale section.
Last, he removed two red Solo cups from the bag and a carton of eggnog before pouring us each a glass.
“I’m glad you came prepared,” I said.
We sat there with our battery-operated Santa playing music and sipped our eggnog while munching on cookies. Despite being too hot, this was my favorite Christmas in a very long time.
“Present time!” Kelly announced.
I put my cup down and clapped my hands. “I’ll go first,” I said. I handed him the gift bag, which had little Christmas trees all over it.
“Should I be afraid?” he asked.
I giggled.
He ripped open the first box, and his eyes widened as he lifted the two wooden cockroaches. “I see you’re a woman of your word.”
“How could Inotget these for you?”
“By the way, last night, they serenaded me with ‘Feliz Navidad’.”
I cackled.
“I love them. And they’ll always remind me of this trip.” He smiled. “Also, I’ll spare you my rendition of ‘La Cucaracha’.”
I pointed. “There’s something else in the bag.”
Kelly looked down. “Oh yeah.” He reached in and opened the second package.
When he saw what was inside, his jaw dropped. He took them out and began shaking them around. “My life is now complete. Who knew there was such a thing as penis maracas?”
These maracas had dicks for handles and big testicles for shakers.
“Given your line of work, I figured those are perfect.”
“Hell yeah. These babies are going right on my desk at the office.”
“Cool.” I laughed and took a deep breath, anticipating what kind of crazy thing he’d bought for me.
“I got you something, too.” He smiled.
“I figured.”
Kelly reached into his backpack and took out a small, wrapped box. He handed it to me. Seeming a little nervous, he licked his lips as he waited for me to open it.
Is something going to jump out at me?
