Well, I think this will be my last story in a while.(about one week or so.) This was kind of rushed because I wanted to write some thing related to the holidays. I hope you like it. I've written 2 more stories for this and a separate one-shot (all Ryelsi of course ). I also started writing a Troypay/Ryelsi story but I'm stuck on the 3rd chapter hopefully I can finish it by the end of the year and post it soon.
"I can't believe that you're actually doing this." Sharpay scoffed as she looked at his now bearded brother.
"It's for a good cause, Sharpay!" Ryan rolled his eyes as he tried to fix his belt. " The least you can do is to help me get into my costume."
"Fine! But you are not fooling me Ryan Evans! I know you're doing this because Kelsi asked you to. I really don't get it. You could have said no to her, I mean, she's just Kelsi." Sharpay said as she finished buckling his big black belt. "There you go."
"Thanks Shar." Ryan kissed his sister's forehead trying to ignore what she said earlier. "Oh, look at the time! I have to go. See you later."
Sharpay shook her head as she watched his twin brother vanish out of her sight. "His crush on her is really pathetic. But, I think I wouldn't do anything about it for now. It may come in handy later." She smirked as she headed her bedroom.
Ryan entered the hospital in his full Santa Claus costume and was quickly attacked by children from different directions.
"Okay children, settle down! Santa will be here all day to accommodate your wishes okay? Let's just allow him to get to his sit so we can get started." a small middle-aged woman, who Ryan knew was Kelsi's mom, lead the children to the other side of the room.
"Hey Santa! How was your trip from the North Pole." Kelsi greeted Ryan as she approached him.
"It was okay. Rudolf had to take a potty break on the way. That's why we're a little late." Ryan replied with a joke of his own.
"Haha! Very funny Ryan!" She answered sarcastically. "But seriously, thanks for doing this. You don't know how much this means to the kids."
"No problem Kels. I love spreading the Christmas spirit. I can't think of any place i'd rather be but here."
Kelsi blushed deeply at his comment. Ryan, seeing her blush, felt himself turn red also as they both fell into a deafening pool of silence.
"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you two." Mrs. Nielsen approached the two teens and broke the silence that was engulfing them. "Ryan, thank you once again for doing this."
"No problem Mrs. Nielsen." Ryan replied modestly.
"Great! The kids are ready for you. Come, I'll show you where you're going to sit." Mrs. Nielsen lead Ryan to a small platform with a big red chair in the center surrounded by gifts of different sizes.
Ryan sat on his chair as Mrs. Nielsen left them for she has other things to attend to on the wing of the hospital. Kelsi stayed with Ryan and helped the kids when it was their turn to sit on Santa's lap.
"That's it Santa. That's the last kid." Kelsi approached Ryan and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Really?" Ryan looked at his watch. "Wow! It's five o'clock already! Time really does fly when you're having fun.
Ryan didn't expect what was about to about happen next. Kelsi suddenly closed the gap between them and kissed him lightly on the mouth.
"Huh?" was all he can say, still mesmerized by short but sweet contact.
Kelsi pointed her finger up. Ryan followed her direction and saw a mistletoe right above them. He returned his glance back to Kelsi, who was smiling at him.
"Kelsi! We need to go,your father is home and doesn't like the idea of being there alone." Mrs. Nielsen's sudden voice brought the two teens back to reality.
Kelsi turned her head toward the direction where the voice of her mother came from then back to Ryan.
"I have to go. Thank you so much again for doing this. Merry Christmas!" Kelsi said before she turned and headed towards her mother's location.
Ryan watched her leave and smiled.
"A Merry Christmas indeed!"
