Brianna

Yesterday it was a black dress coat with a note that said, “To keep you warm.” Gift number ten was waiting on me when I got home today. Only two more days to go. I was going to be on pins and needles until then.

I opened the box. White tissue paper. The note said, “For when I take your dress off.”

Okay. I wasn’t expecting this. With trembling hands, I moved aside the tissue paper. Oh my! It was a red lingerie set. Who the hell was this guy? Lingerie?

I stared at it. It was a red bra and panty set with black trim and black thigh-high stocking with red lace at the top. Okay, I would not lie. If I was going to wear something sexy for Christmas, this would do the trick.

I pulled out my phone. I hated bothering Sandra, and I wouldn’t if she wasn’t taking this so lightly. She answered right away. “What is it today?”

“Lingerie, the note says for when he takes off my dress.”

I gritted my teeth as she laughed.

“You finished?”

“Well, it’s not like you could wear that gorgeous dress without the proper underthings.”

“Not funny.”

She settled down. “Alright, so who haven’t we ruled out yet that might know you?”

“Creepy guy in other building.”

“What about your neighbor Marcus?”

“Seriously? Just because he gave us free drinks doesn’t mean he’s been giving me gifts. There is no way any of this came from hot-as-sin-grumpy-butt. Besides, I already asked him if he’d seen anyone leaving the gifts, remember?”

“Well, two more days, hang in there.”

We ended the call. I looked again at the box. Who was I kidding? I was so going to try this on.

The next day my heart dropped as I got to my floor. No gift outside. When I arrived at my apartment door, there was an envelope taped to it. I removed it from the door and went inside.

I opened it and it said, “Now you have the dress, the shoes, the jewelry and something special underneath it all, come to the ball with me. I’ll pick you up at 7:00p.m. tomorrow evening. Your Secret Santa won’t be a secret much longer.”

There was another envelope inside I pulled it out and it was an invitation to the Local Small Business Association Annual Christmas Ball.

I sighed. This eliminated anyone I thought it might be. Creepy guy Ryan in other building worked at a car dealership. So that ruled him out.

My phone rang, it was Sandra. “I seriously have no idea what so ever now.”

“Why?”

“I got an invitation to the Local Small Business Associations Annual Christmas ball. That’s why. So creepy guy is out and Marcus obviously works at a nightclub. Any ideas?”

“I’ve got none. But, look at the bright side, whoever it is, owns a business, lets hope a successful one, and you are going to a Christmas ball. Honestly, I’m jealous.”

“It’s tomorrow night. So at least this mystery will be over.”

“You so have to let me know who it is.”

“I promise.”

I put the invite down. A ball.
