Not So Saint Nick 소설 & 이야기

“Oh dear, Santa might need some coal in his stocking for that comment!” “I think Santa might want something else,” he replies with a mischievous grin, calling over Nick. “Hey, stop munching on all the cupcakes, Nick! Can you take little Miss Teeny here for a moment while her Mommy comes to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wants for Christmas?” Nick rolls his eyes but gently takes my daughter, while Zac pats his lap, inviting me. I shake my head playfully. “Nah, I think I might be a bit too old for Santa.”

He laughed, deep and loud, "Yes, I promise none of us will want them. And we can get you your favorite foods, too." I tilted my head, how many people live here, I saw some women, humans call them nuns, and some human kids too but they lived in that other building near that church. Apart from Father, I saw Giovanni, Robert and Simon, Father told me they are spies. Are there more like them, they looked so scary to me. Anyway, I have to make humans my friend, so it will be better for me. I slid off the toilet, reaching my hand into the bath to feel the water. At the warmth, I pulled my hand away with a gasp.

Nick the saint added making all the guys look at him suspiciously. "I didn't think you were also from Texas." I quickly retorted. "I'm from Massachusetts, I just think it would be cool to be different plus it's his wedding, we should respect his wishes. Unless you three are the groom don't add anything, wait for your wedding days." Silence. "It wasn't even that deep, it was just a banter. Why are you so uptight Nick?" I teased. "Do you play for both teams?" Sam added making Tristan burst out laughing. I had no problem with people's genders and sexuality, homophobes bothered me because how exactly is it their business. On the brighter side I hoped he was because he could stir off Leona.

Richard suggested abruptly. Nick's face darkened. "No way, I don't like kids."

Merinda quipped. Josh almost agreed but Nathan held him back and whispered into his head. "You're young and obviously fun", he said, "our former nannies were all programmed and they wanted us to grow vegetables on our heads. What about you?" "I promise that I'm flexible. I'm more than your nanny. I'm your big sister and don't worry about greens. We'll work something out". She added a wink.

Sabrina panicked. Nicholas tried to calm down Sabrina, who had panicked seeing the children hurt, “Don't worry too much. She just found out that Santa Claus is not real.” “I'm sorry, Nicholas —” Sabrina didn't want to hurt the child. Nicholas told her, “It's not your fault.” When Coco went to Roseanne, she hugged her mother tightly. “What happened to my baby?” Roseanne asked in a soft tone. She could feel that Coco was sad, but what transpired there that the girl became so sad?

I said coldly, "Winona, I never realized you were such a saint. You're willing to offer yourself up just to fulfill someone's wish? So, if any random person asked you to sleep with them, you'd do that too?" "Of course not!" she shot back without hesitation. I laughed bitterly. "So, Julian's special to you then. You never got over him these past five years, right?" Winona shouted, "I already told you it was only to make sure he didn't leave this world with regrets. Why are you being so petty about this? Besides, I showed up to the wedding on time today, didn't I? What more do you want from me?"

"N-no, I just didn't want to spend the money. It's nobody's fault." Before Shirley could respond, a man came charging straight at her. "Go to hell, Shirley! I'm gonna make your family pay!" Shirley immediately recognized him—Dominic Douglas, the CEO of Douglas Enterprise, the Bishops' longtime rival. After the Bishops crushed Douglas Enterprise, Dominic went bankrupt and never fully recovered mentally. In her past life, he had been the one to attack Shirley and cause her infertility. As he rushed forward, Shirley's first instinct was to look at Oscar.

In reality the snow doesn’t really bother us, neither does the cold since we all run hotter than the average human, but we have to maintain the secret so we have to act human in a human dense city. Nickolas has been out to help some of the neighbors keep the sidewalks and driveways shoveled. I don’t think he can help himself, always the protector and caretaker. We’ve been out to help a bunch too, but not nearly as willingly as he is. So we help to fill in the time, otherwise we would die of boredom since we can’t go anywhere.

Acting like his text hadn't gutted me. "Actually, I might skip the gingerbread thing. I have some work emails I need to catch up on." "Maya. No. You're not spending your vacation doing work. That's literally against the rules." Sophie grabbed my hand. "Come on. It'll be fun. And Dad makes the best gingerbread. He has this secret spice mixture that's amazing." Of course he did. Because Derek had to be perfect at everything, making it that much harder to get over whatever this was.
