year?”
“Most definitely. I don’t think you’ll find a more well -behaved girl than me.” I joked back.
“Then, why wait for Christmas morning ?” And with that, he cupped the side of my face, drew me in, and kissed me. It was all sweetness and softness, his whiskers tickling my lips when he gradually pulled away. Despite how short it was, it didn’t lack in ability to make my stomach flip flop and my heart race. Any kind of kiss from Mason heated my insides and made me smile like a goofy girl in love—which I was.
“Merry Christmas, Darcy.”
“Merry Christmas, Santa.”
“Okay, you two. Time to hand out toys .” Daniel interrupted. It was only then that I realized everyone was still watching us—parents with knowing smiles on their faces and horrified children commenting, “ewww,”, ”she kissed Santa,” and “yuck.”
“I’ll see you later,” I whispered, lifting off Mason’s lap.
“I look forward to it.”
The second I moved away, kids took their positions around Mason again, their excitement renewed. I received a lot of congratulations as I headed over to Jasmine, who looked like she was ready to explode.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you. He made me swear to keep it a secret. He wanted to surprise you.”
“Well, he definitely did that,” I admitted.
“So, did you tell him?”
“Tell him what?”
Jasmine blew out a frustrated breath. “That you wanted him to be your husband, of course.
“No way!” I slapped her arm softly. “I’d rather die than be that forward.”
“Then what made him kiss you?”
“I told him that’s what I wished for.”
“So romantic.” Jasmine placed her hands over her heart, wearing a sappy grin. “It’s okay, there’s still plenty of time to make it the perfect Christmas.”
Staring back over at Mason , as he handed out gifts, I knew right then and there that I didn’t need more time to make it perfect.
My Christmas already was.
