Forever And Always

NEXT CHAPTER 😊

"Please Catarina you've to think of a way" Perth pleaded to his friend. The doctor crossed her arms "I've given you so many ideas Perth. Are you saying none of them are working?"

"They are helpful Catarina and Santa has sleep walked only once in twenty days. Usually he does twice a week"

"And you are complaining because..?" the doctor drawled off

"I don't want him to wander around in the nights. It's too dangerous"

Catarina hummed "But like you said Santa doesn't prefer locked doors"

Perth nodded "You should have seen the look on his face. It was so heart breaking"

Catarina stared at her friend. The look Perth had on his face was like as if he was feeling Santa's pain. He cared about him more than he has for anyone before "You like him" it wasn't a question and Perth knew his friend had got him "Yeah I do"

"A lot?"

"A lot"

Catarina smiled as she hugged her friend "Don't worry Perth. I'll think of something and talk to my seniors at the hospital"

"Thanks Catarina"

"Now get some sleep. I'll call you tomorrow" Catarina left Perth's house leaving him with his thoughts

NEXT MORNING

Perth stared at the ceiling of his bedroom. He wasn't able to sleep whole night thinking about Santa. There had to a way to keep him safe. The older boy sighed as he turned to his side. His mind desperately trying to think anything that would help Santa.

Perth laughed a little when he thought Santa. A warm tender and fuzzy feeling shot right up to his heart. He loved seeing Santa blush. He loved his smile, his innocent eyes that held so much care for others. He loved when Santa made breakfast for him. He loved his cooking. He loved when Santa kissed him on his cheek. He loved watching Santa bite his lips when he was nervous. He loved...

Perth bolted upright realization hitting every nerves on his body. He was unsure of this feeling before but now there was no doubt in his mind

Perth was in love..

Perth loved Santa..

Perth laughed out loud and stood on his bed with a broad smile on his face "I'm in love! Santa I love you!" he yelled again couple of times all the while jumping on the bed. His phone rang and saw it was Santa calling. Oh good God. Should I say him? No not like this. I'll talk to him when we meet thought Perth and picked up his cell "Good morning Santa"

"Good morning Perth. I hope I didn't disturb you"

"You're always welcome to disturb me"

Santa smiled "Ah...actually if you are not too busy then...ah..would you like to have lunch together"

"YES!" Perth yelled but then smacked himself on his head "I mean yeah lunch will be great"

"Can you come pick me at the library"

"Sure. I'll be there at one"

"Bye Perth"

"Bye Santa" Perth plopped down on his bed and burried himself under his blanket. His heart was thumping widly in his chest. This was the first time Santa had asked him out and that put him straight to sky nine "I'm gonna say today. I love you!" He giggled at the thought and got out of his bed to get ready for his lunch date

LATER

Santa was alone with Jamie in the library. He placed the last set of books back in the shelf and got down from the ladder. He checked the time again on his watch and frowned. Why was the time moving slow today. He still had fifteen minutes before Perth would come for their lunch date. He couldn't sleep last night thinking different ways of asking Perth out for lunch. But after hearing Perth's voice, everything felt so easy. He had never been comfortable with anyone else before and Santa loved this feeling
