Read All I Want for Christmas for Free Online Page B

I liked the lights and the presents and spending time with my friends and family. It’s just now, after meeting Nicholai and waking up in his arms on Christmas morning, that I knew there was a real heaven and therefore there had to be a real God too.
    Joey’s voice rang out. “What? David?”
    I think my pause was a little long. He sounded agitated. “Nothin’. Um, Joey, I got something to tell you, but I don’t think today is the best day. I mean, it is a great day, I love Christmas now, but it has to do with something else.” I knew I had to come clean about being gay, but I was not going to do that in front of his family.
    “Why? What is it?”
    “Um, I just… there’s somethin’ I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while now, but only last night did I realize what I was feeling.” I really didn’t want to tell him over the phone.
    “Davey, is it that you’re gay?” His question almost made me choke on my own saliva.
    I sat up quickly and cleared my throat. Nicholai noticed and strolled over to the bed. He sat next to my legs and placed his hand on my thigh. I only briefly met his gaze before I answered my lifelong friend. “What?” My voice came out shrill. I coughed again. “What?” I repeated. “How did you…?”
    “David, we all know. It’s taken you long enough to figure it out.” His matter-of-fact tone soothed my nerves. My shocking news wasn’t so shocking and my best friend was accepting me for who I am. This is a Christmas miracle!
    “If you knew, how come you didn’t say?”
    “Because, Davey, if you weren’t ready to admit it, I wasn’t gonna push. But after hearing you moan ‘Nicholai’ from my bedroom, I kinda figured you were working it all out.”
    I knew my face was growing red, and if Joey were in the room, he’d make fun of my sudden embarrassment. “Does my mom know?” I asked.
    “No,” he said, “I don’t think so. She’s not as up on current events like my mom. You may even have to explain how you two have sex.”
    “Oh, fuck! Like hell I’m gonna do that!” Joey’s joking about it made me relax even more. Nicholai must have sensed that too, because he got up and went back to the kitchen. “Joey?”
    “Yeah?”
    I took a deep breath. “Thanks.”
    “No prob, bro. Just… don’t forget your friends now that you have a ‘significant other’.”
    “Ha, ha. I won’t. I may even bring him by later, that is, if you think your family won’t mind.”
    “No. Feel free. Only… can you tell me how you met him? I don’t remember you talking about meeting anybody the last time you were up here?”
    I smirked. I ran my hand over my tussled hair as I revealed the cold, hard truth. “Joey, would you believe it’s the speed dial guy from that phone you found?”
    “No shit!” he exclaimed. I could practically see him throwing the phone down and jumping back a step. His face would be priceless at this moment. A Kodak moment. I really should have waited to tell him that in person.
    “No, really. Nicholai is amazing. I felt it as soon as he kissed me.” Nicholai’s eyes locked with mine when I said that. I know Joey was saying something, but I continued on, dreamlike, going over every detail about this man as we stared at one another across the room. “I knew when he touched my face, I’d never want anyone else to touch me like that. I knew when he undressed me and gazed upon my naked body, that I’d never allow anyone to look at me but Nicholai. And when he sunk deep into the recesses of my core, I knew no other man could have me as completely as I gave myself to him.”
    By now, Nicholai was undressing in front of me. He apparently abandoned the idea of food in exchange for the lustful tones of my voice. I heard a beep on my phone. A text from Joey:
    Jeez. Like I was going to keep listening to THAT!
    I chuckled and tossed the phone aside. I had other things in mind. I grabbed Nicholai around the ribs and pulled him to me. Flipping him to the side, I
