    Fighting For My Attention this Christmas Empty Fighting For My Attention this Christmas

    *It's almost Christmas....I sent my Mama a Christmas card, and didn't hear from her. I am not surprised by this....I am more then sure she is to busy rattling on about Jesus to anyone who'll listen to her....still I wish her the best. I finally found a way to get rid of Felix thank god, Cupid ain't got no business being anywhere around for Christmas, I write in my journal as I hear a knock on the door.*

    "Who is it?"

    "It's Alex, you were expecting me."

    "I am, enter."

    *His blond hair is in small locks, tightly to his head, and he is wearing a mischievous smile, he's also shirtless, his body is firm, and toned, his blue eyes peer up at me.*

    "I figured we'd skip the small talk, and just get down to what we both wanted."

    *I like him, I've seen him around the club, he's new and fresh....been turned recently, and a bad-ass in his own mind, nothing scares him, I like that about him....he's also respectful, which wins him some points, but mostly he isn't Felix.....and he doesn't mind when I ask him not to stay the night, I nearly had to fire Felix, when I hired Alex, after Fangtasia closed Felix assumed he was coming home with me, I don't know why, I never told him, he and his big head was coming over, me and my mistake of sleeping with him to often, when I told him it wasn't happening, and he saw I was taking Alex home, he started a fight. Alex is a new vampire, but he didn't back down, stupid move I know.....careless....but something about it won me over, I broke-up the fight and then told Felix he would never be coming back to my home again, instead I took Alex home....he leaves after we're done, no showers or begging, as a matter of fact it's kind nice to not have to worry about a man trying to take over. Felix wouldn't stop thought, kept pushing, and pushing and Alex would push back....he's fearless almost to the point of stupidity. I know I shouldn't encourage it, but these days it's not like I have exactly a bunch to do, I would kill for some company. Someone I knew, just so these days aren't so pointless, I'm about to go feed, my puppies and get ready to go out, and get myself a little something to eat, when there is a knock at the Cabin's door, I look to see who it is, and it's Alex, he's standing there with a Christmas tree, and a smirk, he has a box under the tree, I open the door.*

    "Am I to late, lovely?"

    "For?"

    *I ask confused....did we have a date or something I was unaware of, making.*

    "For the Christmas tree? You're here alone? No, that simply won't do.....no one spends Christmas alone....did you set you're tree up yet?"

    *I must have looked to him, like someone punched me in the mouth, or something, he smiles and lightly touches the side of my face, I let him, his skin is soft and always smells like fresh pomegranate.*

    "I didn't really think about it."

    *I say to him.*

    "Well then I am glad I came by, may I?"


    *He asks, and I nod as he comes in with the tree and a box under it.*

    "Ornaments lov.....I came prepared."

    *I smile like a child....it's something so simple, and yet it makes me so happy for some stupid reason.....maybe this years Christmas won't suck.*

    "You know I wanted to tell you to go away, but you're entirely to adorable."

    *He smiles brightly and puts a Santa hat on.*

    "That was the plan....glad it worked."

    "Get you're cute ass in here, and let's find a place for that tree....maybe you'll even get to stay the night."

    *He doesn't answer, but his smile is wider, I don't even see Felix at the end of the driveway, looking like a lost puppy staring over at the cabin, as he throws a small box into the trash....small pools of red in his eyes.*
