By the time we got back to the store, there was already a line of women forming. Some of them were at the checkout, while others were waiting to get their picture taken with Bryson. I noticed one woman sitting on his lap with her legs crossed over his. She was kissing his cheek, and he was giving the camera a thumbs up.

She could be heard saying, “I’m telling my sister about this. She is just going to love you.” She squeezed his arm through the Santa robe and dramatically swung her legs off of his lap.

I rolled my eyes and turned from the scene.

“No, no that is what we want to see,” Niya scolded. “The best marketing tool is word of mouth. If she tells her sister, that sister could tell a friend, that friend tells her cousin and so on. We need the business, Sissy.”

“Don’t you think I know that? It’s the only reason I’m allowing this nonsense. And, he looks like he is enjoying the hell out of it…”

“Are you jealous?” she asked, eyebrows raised.

“What? No...jealous of what? That is not my man.”

My sister folded her arms across her chest. “Someone is getting huffy. You know, I know, that when you get huffy, something is under your skin. You don’t want these women sitting on your Santa’s lap?” Niya teased.

“He is not mine,” I said emphasizing the words.

“I don’t think you’d have trouble landing that, though. He could be yours.”

I looked over my shoulder at him as another female slid onto his lap, vacated by the woman who’d planted her red lipstick on his face moments before. He glanced over at me at that exact moment and offered a slow smile—a look that said we shared a secret moment no one else knew about. My cheeks heated, and I ducked his glance.

“Ooo I saw that, Milya.” Niya playfully swatted my arm.

“Oh my God, if you don’t stop. You didn’t see anything,” I said walking away from her.

“Mmm-hmm,” came her reply.
