Chapter 7

The following day of competition I'm determined to make it through the day without being distracted by my Keller James crush. No way, no how.

I'm distracted before the cameras even start rolling.

Because the magic between Keller and me is off the charts. Err, assuming he meant sexual tension and not like an actual mystical Christmas magic that couples unsuspecting people together for an eternity of true love.

Dang, Christmas magic would be super cool though.

In any case, Christmas lust is definitely real because I've got a raging case of it.

I've never felt this level of chemistry with a man before, not like this. Not this insatiable pull, as if there really is a magic Christmas spell at work. Because I have to admit it's something more than just feeling familiar with him from watching him on TV. There's an intangible thing, some feeling or vibe between us. As if we were always meant to be something to one another.

Normally when you meet someone there's a spark of interest followed by a period of maybes. Maybe this person would be a good fit. Maybe you might work well together as partners. As lovers. Maybe they’re the one, but also maybe not. During the maybes your brain is voicing every objection it can muster up. He's too tall or too short. Too political or too ambivalent. Too interested or not interested enough.

Meeting Keller feels like Goldilocks finding her perfect fit.

Or perhaps I've finally lost my ever-loving mind.

Either way, I'm determined to keep my focus today. So I say a quick hello to him and the rest of the group when I arrive, then separate myself because simply being in the same room as him makes my heart beat in a wonky way while my traitorous eyeballs sneak a peek at him every chance they get. Which will not do, clearly. Eye on the prize, Ginger. Remember what's important, Ginger.

Winning.

Opening my own bakery.

Except...

Except that every Christmas movie ever made would tell me otherwise. They would tell me to remember the reason for the season and all that. Remind me that there's more to life than winning and work. Remind me to stop and smell the gingerbread and think about a potential future of babies and station wagons and happily-ever-afters. Somewhere a cupid dressed in a Santa suit would tell me to believe in the magic and potential of love.

But also, that's not how real life works. I don't want to be that girl who just tosses aside her lifelong ambitions for a man. Every romantic comedy movie ever made tells me that will end in disaster.

It's a real no-win, if I'm taking life advice from movies.

I want it all, obviously. But wanting it all is terrifying. And why am I even thinking about all of this with a man I've just met and shared one kiss with? It's Yuletide insanity. Soon the holidays will be over and Keller will be gone. Off to film another season of Brunch, Biscuits & Tea and oversee his restaurants or sit on judging panels of random Food Network competitions.
