"Oh, I hope we do a lot of Christmas things this year," Sunny sounded a little too happy for Chewy. After all, he knew where this conversation was going. She was hinting about Chai. They'd spent Friendsgiving with Sunny and Louie. Wasn't that enough?
"Well, you know, it's just Christmas." Chewy shrugged. It was no big deal. "I'm not doing couple things with you guys. I mean, I'm not in a relationship, and don't you guys have Woo and Liv to worry about?"
Sunny brewed him a pour over. It was not of the coffee shop standard. He'd hoped she would have gotten better at making coffee, but Sunny would never know the green coffee bean like he did. And those days were over. He was now at the Assisted Living place too. They were on a coffee break. Luckily, Chai got on in the kitchen there, but their schedules were quite different.
"Oh, try not to be happy," Sunny covered her mouth so as to not show her silly giggle.
Chewy sighed.
"Are you going to get Chai a gift?" She asked as she sat at the table with him in the pristine breakroom, which was much finer than the old coffee shop.
"I dunno, what about you?"
"I'm knitting Louie a red scarf." She let a smile slip as if that was the perfect Christmas gift.
"That's all?" Chewy couldn't help but scowl. Oh, he was finding the black coffee bitter. He got up and reached for the creamer in the fridge.
"What do you mean?" She looked at him horrified.
"I dunno, maybe he needs underwear." Chewy sighed remembering his grandmother always got him briefs and socks for Christmas. They never had much, but it was essential.
"Underwear?"
"Just a thought." Chewy went back to his coffee.
"Let's see, you're getting Chai underwear?" She teased and even stretched her hand out to poke him in the upper arm with her index finger.
"Shut up." He snarled. Yes, she'd always be the little sister he never had. Chewy guessed he'd have to buy her something for Christmas. He guessed he could ask Chai about this.
I really love Christmas! :)
