Well...Alright | Buddy Holly

Christmas (V.H)

"Yes ma, it's Vi," Buddy replies.

"Lemme talk to her!"

I can practically feel Buddy roll his eyes and begrudgingly hand over the phone.

"Merry Christmas Vi!" She says excitedly. "I hope it was amazing!"

"It was great, thank you! I hope yours was great!"

"It was! Okay, okay, I'll let you and Buddy do your little couples gift thing,"

"Ma, can you not call it that?" Buddy says.

"What else would it be?"

"Um, I dunno. Just given her the presents,"

"Whatever. I'll stay out of it, it's personal between you two,"

She hands Buddy the phone.

"I'll be over in a few doll. Love you,"

"Love you too," I hang up.

I go back into my room and pick up the hand painted box I made for him. Jeez, I hope he likes it. I wrote a ton of little notes and made a bunch of doodles in it. I think I even shoved guitar picks in there because Buddy's always losing his.

I walk out of my room, running into Juliet.

"Violet," she mumbles.

"Yes?" I reply.

"What'd you get Buddy?"

I show her the box. "I put little love notes and such in here,"

"What else?"

"Um, nothing really, why?"

"You should've gotten him at least 3 things, that's how it's supposed to be!"

"He's hard to shop for and he really doesn't care if he gets anything,"

"So?"

"So I just got him a meaningful one,"

She looks at the box. "That didn't even cost much!"

"It doesn't matter, Juliet. I think he'll just be happy I got him something at all,"

"He better have gotten you something amazing!"

"No,"

"Why?!"

"Juliet, you know his family doesn't have that much money,"

She purses her lips. "Well one thing that you can get him is free,"

"What is it?"

"You know..."

"Juliet, no, don't say it!" I exclaim.

"A blowjob!"

I blush. "Shut up!"

"What?! It's a good gift!"

"But it doesn't have to be Christmas for that? It's not really a present?"

"Just do it!"

I shake my head. "Shut up, Juliet. Now."

"Oh, you're embarassed,"

"Yeah, not everyone into broadcasting our sex lives to anyone who will listen."
