When she still believed in fairy tales decades ago, she dreamt of a White Christmas wrapped in the arms of her beloved. She would slowly let the chills run through her spine as she watched the snowflakes fall outside while they cuddled and made love.
So tonight, even if it was already a few days after Christmas, she considers this her official Christmas Eve with her beloved. She has patiently waited for this special occasion. Not exactly how she has seen it in her daydreams since she started dabbling in romantic poetry, but still, something that makes her feel alive.
On the outside, many of her friends have said she is a tough one to crack. No man can make her melt quickly. Probably just like the Snow Queen; even before the movie Frozen became a hit, she was known among her peers as one who won’t easily bend and break for romance. Her feelings were always in check. Duty first before desire. Work before pleasure. Faith before anything else. Perhaps she had lost faith in finding the ideal one...
The word ‘before’ had dragged on a while until she dipped her toes in Cupid’s pool. Without her realising it, time had passed so fast. Now she’s in her 40s. If this special man had not melted her heart, this could be her 20th year of celebrating the season alone.
Alone.
The most dreaded word a woman her age could endure from her culture. Thankfully, she is far away from her home country now, where relatives and friends can stay closer to celebrate together—no quizzical looks about why she had remained single. Every family reunion, every get-together with friends, she needed to politely dodge questions about why she had not committed to any man for a long time.
Does she have to tell everyone that she had a jaded childhood and that she didn’t believe marriage would last? And that she has practised the art of pleasing herself in her own terms, at her own pace, in her own time? No, she doesn’t have to.
To explain herself to everyone would feel futile because they already have this pre-conceived machismo assumption that if a woman prefers not to marry, she is the problem.
But to him, she feels she does not have to be someone else. He sees her as she is: passionately sensual, wickedly bubbly, and selflessly kind. He has opened her eyes to discover herself and to be true to what really matters – her needs and desires that make her truly unique and captivating, and yes, complete.
In that rustic cabin by the lake, she has set up the studio-type space as she had imagined it in her daydream. Soft Christmas music plays in the background. The logs crackle in the fireplace in the living room. Adjacent to the big white couch is the tree decorated with silver and white ornaments glistening amidst the warm, sparkling lights.
“Who says that Christmas is over?” she muses, smiling.
The bar has a few bottles that he likes - rum, whiskey and other alcoholic beverages that he likes to mix when he concocts spiked eggnog. The dining table for two has everything that they both enjoy to share – Caesar salad, smoked pork, mashed potatoes, sourdough bread, a claypot of pumpkin soup, roasted chestnuts, and fruitcake.
Everything looks perfect. Just like the bottle of red wine, two glasses, and candles ready by the bathtub filled with warm water, bubbled and with a chamomile scent.
His car engine’s noise pierces down the road, nearing the serene lakeside. This quiet and quaint little part of Ottawa is just perfect for him and his beloved woman. Here, he hopes that he won’t have to hide who they are to each other anymore.
The 30-kilometre drive from the airport to this cabin, which he booked a year ago, is something he really worked hard for. He could never be thankful that she finally said yes to spend a two-week vacation with him. She flew from Manila to this place despite the odds, and he must let her know how much he appreciates her.
As he drives along the snow-covered roads, he hums the tune on his Spotify playlist, the song that always reminds him of her, “The Rose of My Heart,” by Johnny Cash. It’s as if the songwriter has foreseen that he is meant to know this lady who is so attached to his soul in ways that still surprise him to this day. It has been two years since they crossed paths. Yet, it feels as if they have known each other for so long.
No one has finished his sentence the way she does. Only this wonderful being can make him feel truly seen and understood. He has stopped trying to understand how and why. All he wants now is to be with her and make love to her all through the night.
She heard the car engine stop in front of the cabin, and she straightened up her velvet black dress to welcome him into her arms. She feels heat rising to her throat. A mixture of excitement and tears. At the back of her mind, she feared he would not come. But he had never broken any promise. As he said so, he did. Now, here he is.
She leaps to the foyer and opens the door just before he knocks. Under the mistletoe is the same tall, fair-skinned, blue-eyed, fit, handsome man who made her risk everything for love. In his eyes, she has gained more weight, which still makes her Asian beauty glow on this cold afternoon. She has wavy black hair that cascades down her shoulders, and that smile, which always makes his morning beautiful when they talk on a video call, looks more enticing when they talk face-to-face.
“Merry Christmas, my Rose,” Steve greets in his soft, caring voice.
“Merry Christmas, my heart,” she replies as her knees shake.
Steve pulls Rose close, and she wraps her arms around him, and their lips touch, which starts tenderly, then hungrily and more hungrily. His hand hitches her up the hem of her black dress, and she shivers in the cold even more. They both giggle and stop.
“Misletoe,” he quips.
She answers him with another deep kiss and a grip of his hand, pulling him into the house.
“It has been a year...” she kisses him back as her hands move on his chest.
“Since we last kissed for real,” he moans into her mouth as he leads her to the couch, stumbling and falling.
“This cabin is so cozy,” she murmurs as he kisses her neck and unzips her dress, and it pools at her feet. Astonished by her voluptuous body clad in red lingerie and high stockings, he touches her cheek with the back of her hand, slowly gliding across her lips, chin, down her neck, and across her collarbones. Now he aims for her cleavage. She holds his hand to stop him while locking eyes with him.
“What?” He chuckles.
