It turns out, I absolutely wasn't sure. The bar was dimly lit. And they weren't even playing Christmas music. What kind of place didn't play Christmas music on Christmas Eve?

The guy at the door stamped my hand to show that I was underage. Not that I wanted to drink. I wanted to wake up on Christmas morning refreshed and ready to go super early. I was itching to run back out into the chilly winter air. And insist on going ice skating by the Rockefeller tree. Or listen to the carolers we had passed by on the way here. Or drag him to church so we could sing the songs I looked forward to every year.

But I didn't say any of that. For the next hour or so...will it be that long?...I was going to do anti-Christmas. Bah, humbug!

We wound our way through the other patrons until we found his friends at table in the back.

"You came!" Rob shouted. "I told you they'd come. Pay up." He put his hand out.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Mason groaned. "You said you were going out to dinner." He slapped a stack of way too many bills into Rob's hand.

"Yeah, we all thought you were totally whipped," Matt added. He forked over a wad of cash to Rob.

"Do you guys make bets on our relationship?" I asked.

"Usually only how long it'll last," Mason said with a laugh.

I knew he was joking. Right? I liked James' friends. But Mason still kinda gave me the creeps. He always had a look in his eyes like he was judging me. Or my body. Or something. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. But just like with Rob, I was getting used to him. And Matt was always nice to me.

I sat down in the stool that James pulled out for me and let him take my coat.

"Ow, ow!" Rob yelled. "You really dressed up for us."

"For him," I said and pointed over my shoulder where James was hanging up our jackets.

"Sure," Rob whispered and leaned forward slightly. "I told the guys we're all getting lucky tonight because you're handing out blowjobs for Christmas."

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Why was he hell-bent on embarrassing me all the time? "Rob, for the millionth time, I am not putting my mouth anywhere near your penis."

"Well, that's good to hear," James said with a laugh as he sat down next to me. "Do you guys want another round?"

"Absolutely," Mason said. "Let me help you grab it. What'll you have, Penny?"

"Ginger Ale if they have it." My stomach suddenly felt upset. I needed carols. And snow. And to watch The Grinch, not be sitting with four of them.

When they came back with the drinks I took a sip and set it down. "Okay. So now what? Do we all talk about how much we hate Christmas?"

"No." Matt threw his hands over his ears. "We don't mention that word at all."

"Rob just said it a few minutes ago when he mentioned blowjobs.
