Chapter 123 - Christmas Celebrations 2.0

Jay-jay's POV

Aunt Gema pressed the ice bag against my ear, her voice filled with anger. "Angelo! Stop feeling sorry for Jay-Jay!"

"It's her fault!" brother argued, casually leaning against the refrigerator.

Aunt looked at him evilly. "You, Angelo! We let you discipline your cousins, but not like this! You almost cut off her ears!"

Brother just scratched his head. I wanted to laugh, because brother is so cute when he is being teased.

Hahahahaha...

"I don't understand if that girl is telling the truth... She says she doesn't have a boyfriend but the boy outside just said she has one." Brother's explanation.

Auntie looked at me, "You guys?!"

Brother and I both looked at her. Who is she referring to?

"The one who gave you the ring! Is it that boy?!" Aunt asked with joy.

I shook my head quickly. "N-no Aunt..."

"Did someone give you a ring?" Brother asked.

"Keifer gave you a ring?" Ci-N's groin while eating ice cream.

I looked at him badly. "NO! Get out of here! You're going to destroy me again!" I shouted at him.

Suddenly he pouted and turned his back on us.

"Grandma! Jay-jay is fighting with me!" He said and walked back to the living room.

Wow!

"Who gave you the ring?" Brother's serious question.

Package! I can't make excuses or lie to brother. I'll be more in love with him.

"Y-Yuri…" I almost whispered back.

Aunt and Brother exchanged glances. It's like they know something that I don't know yet.

Aunt faced me. "Jay... Go to your Grandma first. Your Big Brother and I are just going to talk about something."

I nodded and took the ice bag before leaving the kitchen. When I got out, Aries' eyebrows met me.

"Why is that kid here?!" He asked me annoyed.

"I don't know! As long as we pick up grandma with him."

"Send him home, I don't want to see him come out here!" He ordered me before leaving my presence.

Terrible!

Even Ci-N was not passed by Aries. He's not like that. I'm not sure what time this little boy will leave. But I'm sure he won't be here to celebrate Christmas.

Of course, after Christmas he was at another house.

"Jay..." Grandma called me. "...this is a funny friend of yours! Where did you meet him?"

"He's my classmate..." I answered before sitting on the opposite sofa where they were sitting.

"Your classmate? He's still young... Are you a repeater?"

I shook my head quickly. "No ah! Even if I get reprimanded, I fix my studies."

"Really?" Ci-N asked teasingly.

Can I slap him? Even just one.

"Where are your parents? Why are they letting you wander?" Grandma asked Ci.

His face suddenly became sad. Grandma was a bit surprised but I think I already know the reason. He once told me that he doesn't even remember a holiday with his whole family.

Even on his birthday, he couldn't see his parents. He said that they just dump the gift and then leave.

"They work with my Big Brother and Sister." He answered.

I'm right. It seems that he is no longer with his family to celebrate and that is the reason why he made trouble with us.

Grandma looked at me. I don't know if we are thinking the same thing but I know what she wanted to convey.

"Grandma... Can Ci-N celebrate Christmas with us here?" I asked making grandma and Ci-N smile.

"Let your aunt know, this is her house." Grandma said.

I immediately stood up and quickly walked back to the kitchen. But before I even got close, I heard that brother and Aunt were talking.

"...Jay-jay is still young. Is there no other way?" Aunt said.

"That's our deal, we have no choice." Brother answered.

"What if she still wants to study? How will that happen if----"

"I'll talk to them about that." Brother interrupted Aunt.

They both fell silent. I'm not sure what they're talking about. But I'm sure that's about me.

They said Jay-jay...

I continued to enter the kitchen. Aunt was still a bit surprised by me but she immediately straightened herself up.

"What Jay?" Brother asked me.

"Can Ci-N spend Christmas here?"

"Won't he going to celebrate it with his parents?" Aunt asked.

I shook my head. "Both are busy at work."

Aunt looked at brother as if asking for his permission. Brother just nodded and aunt faced me with a smile.

"Alright..." He said.

I immediately ran back to the living room where the two were. Grandma was still laughing constantly at Ci-N's wheezing.

"...Just adopt me. For fun." Ci said raising my eyebrows.

"You're the only one who's happy... Hahahaha..." Grandma answered him.

"Ay harsh..." Ci commented which made grandma laughed again.

Even I laughed. I only once introduced a friend to grandma. She often said that she was not a good influence on me. But now, she seems to prefer being with Ci.

I approached them and said that aunt and brother have agreed to let this little boy spend Christmas here.

"Come on, help me get ready in the kitchen..." Grandma asked Ci-N before standing up.

Next is the other while smiling. Luko feels at home. Just don't let Aries bump into him, he might turn away.

I heard someone ring the doorbell. I stood up and walked out. l opened it, I know they are all busy. In addition, their maids, they went home to their families so there was a lack of people.

When I opened the gate, I felt like I wanted to close it again.

If she...

"H-hi..." Her heart sank.

"Hi too..." I greeted her back.

As usual, her long hair is loose again. Her smooth skin shines. Dressed in white that suits her even if it's simple.

You are beautiful! Queen!

"Happy Holidays.. where is Aries?" She asked.

She was carrying a bag that looked like food.

My Holidays are not Happy!

"He is inside, come in."

She walked in. And don't go straight to the door of the house without waiting for me. Another feel at home.

I'll just slap her!

"Happy Holidays Auntie!" She grew to Aunt Gema.

"Same to you too!" Aunt greeted back with a kiss on her cheek.

I don't know what they talked about. I went straight to the kitchen to help Grandma and Ci-N. I whispered to him that Ella was here but he didn't react.

I let it go, maybe because he is not affected.

We spent most of the afternoon preparing for noche buena. I couldn't even look at my phone that was constantly ringing.

When I finished, I went back to my room to take a shower and get dressed. I feel like I belong in the kitchen because of my smell.

I was even a little embarrassed by our guest who did nothing but make out with Aries. This is also where she will spend Christmas.

It's not really Happy Holiday anymore!

I looked at my phone for a moment. Just a text message of snakes wishing me Christmas.

I replayed them one by one even though my finger almost ran out of blood just composing the message.

Hardcore greetings...

After my bloody typing. I went straight to the dining room where they all were. Ci-N pointed to the bench next to him so I sat there.

"Thank you..." He whispered to me.

Hm?

"For what?"

"Here..." He answered while smiling.

I smiled at him too. I know what he means. Maybe he will do the same when he finds out that l used to be alone every Christmas.

"Eat now!" Tito Julz shouted while bringing food from the kitchen.

We started eating. They talked constantly led by Ella.

Ci-N keeps nagging grandma. Even aunt was laughing at him. Aries is obviously irresistable to him but tries to shift his attention to the person next to him.

When it got 12, we went straight to the Christmas tree. We have a gift. I immediately saw the one for me, so I opened it.

"What did you get?" Ci asked me.

Uhmmm...

"Do you know Santa's address?" I asked him.

He shook his head. "Why?"

"I'm going to go and hit him at the same time."

"Huh?!"

"They gave me a white dress?!" I said annoyed.

Ci laughed lightly. "Maybe for your debut."

I winced. My debut is still far away. What is Santa's trip? The power of his right.

We were able to rest at almost 3am. It's just a story because what happened. Ci-N was put to sleep in my room. As for him on the floor, I heard that Ella was going to sleep in my room, so I protested strongly.

what is she I don't want to be with him!

"Goodnight Jay..." Ci said sleepily.

"Goodnight too..." I turned to him.

Before closing my eyes completely. I looked at my phone first. I have a message waiting for me.

I was not disappointed.

📩

From: Yuri

Message: Happy Holiday!*

Even though I don't know how to speak Japanese, I know what it means. I immediately replayed it and congratulated him. I know he's in Japan right now, because that's where they actually celebrated.

Another text arrived. I used to be Yuri but it was different.

📩🐍

From: King Cobra

Message: Happy Holiday, sexy Jay-Jay...

The unexpected! I have to admit, it made me smile but at the same time annoyed. Is it supposed to add 'sexy Jay-jay'? Idiot!

Happy Holidays King of Snakes!
