Chapter-123 Christmas Celebration 2.0

Jay-jay's POV

"Angelo! He didn't even feel sorry for Jay-jay!" Tita Gema said angrily while pressing the ice bag to my ear. "...That kid's ears are red!"

"It's his fault!" Kuya justified while leaning against the refrigerator.

Tita looked at him evilly. "You Angelo! We let your cousins ​​discipline you but not like this! Jay-jay almost cut off your ears!"

Kuya just scratched his head. I wanted to laugh, because Kuya is so cute when he scolds him.

Hahahahaha...

"I don't understand if that kid is telling the truth... He said he doesn't have a boyfriend but the kid outside just said he does." Kuya explained.

Tita looked at me. "You guys?!"

Kuya and I both looked at her in surprise. Who was she referring to?

"The one who gave you the ring! You guys?!" Tita asked happily.

I quickly shook my head. "H-no, Tita..."

"Someone gave you the ring?" Kuya asked.

"Keifer gave you a ring?" Ci-N whispered while eating ice cream.

I glared at her. "NO! Get out of here!

You're going to ruin me again!" I yelled at his.

Suddenly he pouted and turned his back on us.

"Grandma! Jay-jay is fighting me!" he complained and walked away ik in the room.

Oh wow!

"Who gave you the ring?" Kuya asked seriously.

Pakshet! I can't make excuses or lie to Kuya. I'll be even more intrigued by him.

"Y-Yuri..." I almost whispered.

Aunt and Kuya exchanged glances. It was as if they knew something I didn't.

Aunt turned to me. "Jay... Go to your Grandma's place first. Your Grandma and I just need to talk."

I nodded and took the ice bag before completely leaving the kitchen. As I was leaving, Aries's eyebrows met mine.

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

"I don't know! As long as we're picking up Grandma, he's with us."

"Send him home, I don't want to see him here!" He ordered me before leaving in front of me.

Terrible!

Aries didn't miss Ci-N either. He wasn't around. I'm not sure what time this little guy would leave. But I'm sure he wouldn't be here to celebrate Christmas. Of course, it's Christmas and he's in a different house.

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

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

"Your classmate? He's still young... Are you a repeater?" I quickly shook my head.

"No! Even though I'm stubborn, I fix my studies."

 "Really?" Ci-N asked angrily. Should I slap him? Even just one.

 "Where are your parents? Why are you letting them roam around?" Grandma asked Ci. Suddenly his face turned sad. Grandma was a bit surprised but I felt like I already knew the reason. He once told me that he can't remember a holiday where his whole family is with him.

Even on his birthday, he can't see his parents. He just says he'll give them presents and then leave.

"He's at work with my brother and sister." He replied.

I was right. It seems like he's not celebrating with his family anymore and that's why he's messing around with us. Grandma looked at me. I don't know if we're thinking the same thing but I know that he wants to convey it.

"Grandma... Can Ci-N celebrate Christmas with us here?"

I asked, smiling at Grandma and Ci-N.

"Tell your Aunt, this is their house." Grandma said.

I immediately stood up and quickly walked back to the kitchen. But before I could get close, I heard Aunt and Uncle talking.

"...Jay-jay is still young. Isn't there any other way?" Grandma said.

Me?!

"That's our deal, we have no choice." Kuya replied.

"What if he still wants to study? What will happen if----"

"I'll talk to them about that." Kuya interrupted Tita's words.

They both fell silent. I wasn't sure what they were talking about. But I'm sure it was about me. Jay-jay, he said...

I continued walking into the kitchen. Tita was a bit surprised by me but she quickly composed herself.

"Why Jay?" Kuya asked me.

"Can Ci-N spend Christmas here?"

"Aren't they going to look for her?" Tita asked.

I shook my head. "They're both busy with work."

Tita looked at Kuya as if asking for her opinion. Kuya just nodded and Tita turned to me with a smile.

"Okay..." She said.

I immediately ran back to the living room where the two were. Grandma still laughed at Ci-N's jokes.

"...Just let me have it. So that I'm happy." Ci said, raising my eyebrows.

"Oh, you're the only one happy... Hahahaha..." Grandma replied to her.

"Oh, that's harsh..." Ci's comment made Lola laugh again.

Even I laughed. I've only introduced a friend to Lola once. She often told me that she wasn't a good influence on me. But now, it seems like she wants to be with Ci more. I approached them and said that Aunt and Brother agreed that this little boy would spend Christmas here.

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

The other one followed while smiling. She felt at home. Just don't let Aries get in her way or she might get caught.

I heard the doorbell ring. I stood up and walked outside. I'll open it, I know they're all busy. Add to that Tita's maids going home to their families, so there's not enough people.

When I opened the gate, I felt like closing it again.

Ella...

"H-hi..." She greeted me.

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

As usual, her long hair was loose again. Her smooth skin was shining. She was dressed in a white dress that suited her even though it was simple. So you're beautiful! Smile!

"Merry Christmas... Aries?" she asked.

She was carrying a bag that looked like food.

My Christmas wasn't merry!

"It's inside, come in."

She walked in. And don't, go straight to the door of the house without waiting for me. This is another feeling at home.

I'll slap her!

"Merry Christmas Tita!" She greeted Tita Gema.

"You too, daughter!" Aunt greeted him back and kissed his cheek.

I don't know what they talked about anymore. I went straight to the kitchen to help Grandma and Ci-N. Whispered I told her that Ella was here but she didn't react. I just let it go, maybe she wasn't affected.

We spent almost the whole afternoon getting ready for the noche buena. I didn't even have time to look at my phone, which was constantly ringing.

After that, I went back to my room to take a shower and get dressed. I felt like I was part of the kitchen because of my smell.

I was even a little embarrassed by our guest who did nothing but hang out with Aries. He's also going to spend Christmas here. I really didn't have a Merry Christmas!

I looked at my phone for a moment. It was all text messages from vipers wishing me a Merry Christmas. I replied to them one by one even though my fingers were almost bleeding just composing the message.

Hardcore greetings...

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

"Thank you..." he whispered to me.

Hm?

"For what?"

"Here..." he replied while smiling.

I smiled at her too. I knew she meant it. She would probably do the same thing if she found out I was alone during Christmas.

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

We started eating. They were constantly chatting, led by Ella. Since it was Christmas, I let her have it. I'll leave her alone for now.

Ci-N continued to nag Grandma. Even Tita was laughing at her too. Aries was clearly annoyed with her but tried to shift his attention to the one next to him.

When 12 o'clock came, we went straight to the Christmas tree. They said we had 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 her head. "Why?"

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

"Huh?!"

"He gave me a white dress... What am I going to do with this?!" I said annoyed.

Ci laughed a little. "Maybe for your debut."

I winced. My debut is still a long way off. What trip did Santa take? His hit was so strong.

We were able to rest at almost 3am. It was all just chatting. Ci-N was put to sleep in my room. He was on the floor, I heard Ella being put to sleep in my room so I protested strongly.

What is he? I don't want him with me!

"Goodnight Jay..." Ci said sleepily.

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

Before closing my eyes completely. I checked my phone first.

I had a message waiting for me.

I didn't disappoint.

From: Yuri

Message: Meri Kurisumasu! ☃❄🎄🎁..

Even though I don't know Japanese, I know what it means. I immediately replied to him and congratulated him. I knew he was in Japan right now, because that's where they really celebrated.

Another text came. I thought it was Yuri but it was different.

From: King Ulupong

Message: Merry Christmas, sexy Jay-jay... 😎😆😉

The unexpected! I admit, it made me smile but at the same time it also annoyed me. He literally put 'sexy Jay-jay'. Manyakis!

Merry Christmas to you too King of Ulupong!
