user1 : OH HELLO THERE ( first time posting in FOUR MONTHS ??? )

there cecilia was, picking at the sugar cookies with no presents under her tree. obviously, she could've just bought herself something but she was feeling selfish.

since ever, cecilia has always spent christmas's at tate's. her family wasn't exactly the way most families were. her mom had to work at the hospital extra hours, and her dad wasn't in the picture.

to make things more helpful, tate's mom offered to make sure cecilia stayed with them for the holidays. just so she wouldn't be feeling alone.

that tradition followed up until this year. kissing tate wasn't exactly on her 2024 bingo card.

as if things couldn't get any better, none of her friends were available. either they were with their family or partner, or even at parties!

there she was, alone, eating cookies on her carpeted floor. that whole four months were chaos! moving out in only a matter of a week specifically.

cecilia picked up a cookie with a snowman on it, going to take a bite into it before stopping when she heard her phone ding. quickly she set her cookie down and replaced it with her phone.

a message from.. an unknown number?

unknown number !

christmas is all about joy sooo
check outside your apartment.

who is this..?

cecilia crunched her nose up in confusion,
looking back at the front door of the apartment. who in the actual hell was that, and why are they asking her to do that?

she rolled her eyes. her mother always told her something that she would never forget, risk nothing, gain nothing.

she got up and walked up to the door, opening it without a thought. she looked down the hallway before down at a present that was wrapped with gold wrapping paper.

the girl picked it up, walking into her apartment, kicking the door shut once she was fully inside. she soon set it on the kitchen countertop.

as she opened and picked through the wrapping paper, small glimpses of the present caught her eye.

once she fully unwrapped it she finally saw what it was. whipped cream. sure, it seemed cheesy as hell, but now she knew exactly who it was from.

"tate." she whispered into the air as she thought out loud. it has been a while since she had said that word. it made her get nostalgic from times it has rolled off her tongue.

lucky enough, there was a small tag on it that wrote, "from tatiana ;)"

oh how the christmas could spread joy and holly. especially this christmas, even if it was just one gift.
