Chapter 6: Once Upon a Christmas:

Kristin's POV:

"We should probably get back to looking for your dad," says Bill, "by the way, who is he?"

"It's weird," I said, "but I don't remember."

. . .

Bill then took me to his house. He's a single dad and he introduces me to his kids, Kyle and Brittany.

"So, you're saying you're in love with a woman you just met," asks Kyle.

"Weird," says Brittany.

"So, I bet you kids are excited to see Santa," I said.

"I don't really believe in Santa," says Kyle.

Weird, that sounded familiar.

. . .

I was taking a look around the house, but then I saw Kyle and Brittany fighting. I feel like I've seen that before too.

. . .

I then looked at Bill's nativity set.

"Pretty good, huhh," asks Bill, "I got it from an antique store in New York."

"The ears," I said.

"What," asks Bill.

"The ears on the donkey should be longer."

"If you say so," says Bill. He then kisses me on the cheek and walks away.

I don't know why I said that.

. . .

I can't help but feel there's a part of me that's missing... it doesn't matter! Because all I want is to be with Bill. I love him and that's all that matters!

Kristin: I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (Chorus: And I)
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (Chorus: Ah)
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

Chorus: I just want you for my own (Kristin: Ooh)
More than you could ever know (Kristin: Ooh)
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Kristin: Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (Chorus: And I)
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (Chorus: Ah)
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

Chorus: 'Cause I just want you here tonight (Kristin: Ooh)
Holding on to me so tight (Kristin: Ooh)
What more can I do?
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Kristin: Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (Chorus: So brightly, baby)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air (Chorus: Oh, oh yeah)
And everyone is singing (Chorus: Oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing (Chorus: Oh)
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Chorus: Yeah, oh, oh)
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for (Chorus: Ah)
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Chorus: Oh, I just want you for my own (Kristin: Ooh)
More than you could ever know (Kristin: Ooh)
Make my wish come true
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you

Kristin: You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Chorus: You)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Chorus: Ah, oh, ah, oh)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Chorus: You)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Chorus: All I really want, baby, ooh)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby! (Chorus: All I want, all I really want is you!)

I then turned around and saw Kyle. "I don't know what you're up to," says Kyle, "but I'm going to find out!"

"All I want is to spend every waking moment with your father," I said.

"Yeah, that doesn't sound like a stalker at all," says Kyle. He then walks away.
