Uncanny Christmas Tales – (075) Christmas Entertainment

 

Tina and Lizzie McDermott were day boarders at Carrington Chase School for the Winter term while their parents were at a weather research centre in the Antarctic.

They were staying in Carrington with the McGee family, which comprised of their Aunty and Uncle and their sons Liam and Stuart in Carrington.

The two girls were instantly attracted to their cousins, but the boys were both painfully shy, the girls were not, but were struggling to snare them.

Tina and Lizzie shared a bedroom and Lizzie noticed that her sister was a bit short tempered and irritable, she knew it wasn’t her period because that had been the week before.

“What’s the matter with you today?” she asked.

“Frustrated” Tina snapped.

“What about?” Lizzie asked.

“Liam” she replied, “Its nearly Christmas and I still haven’t got his attention”.

“I know I’ve been flirting like mad with Stuart for weeks and I get nothing back”.

After discovering that it was her frustration at not snaring Liam, Lizzie helped to execute the plan which kept them in her bedroom until lunchtime, now it was Lizzies turn to get her man.

Unfortunately, the day after Tina got together with Liam, Stuart broke his ankle playing football, although with him laid up in bed she finally had an advantage over him.

Apart from being a shy boy Stuart was the sporty type and as she was a diminutive figure, if he saw her coming when she was in full flirt mode, he always managed to give her the slip.

 

He was woken early on Christmas Eve by the front door slamming, which he discovered later was his Mum and Dad leaving for the Supermarket, then he drifted off to sleep again.

The next time he woke his cousins Tina and Lizzie where standing either side of his bed wearing Christmas costumes.

“What are you doing here?” he asked suspiciously.

“We came to entertain you” Tina replied, and the girls turned to each other and smiled.

“And why are you dressed as Elves?”

“Because we are here to spread Christmas joy of course” Lizzie replied and the two of them giggled then Tina said.

“Firstly, we bring tinsel and garlands”.

“Ok” he replied hesitantly, as he watched her waving the tinsel. 

“And then we bring mistletoe” Lizzie said and kissed him and knowing he was beaten he surrendered to the kiss, and by the time she came up for air Tina had made a discreet exit.

“I think that was very nice” she said.

“I agree”

“Good because I have nothing to compare it to, but I thought it was very nice” she rambled, and she would have continued rambling had he not interrupted her.

“That was your first kiss?”

“Yes” she replied and blushed

“Mine too” he said, “But I thought you were….”

“Were what?”

“Well, you’ve always acted a bit ….tarty around me” he explained.

“Tarty! Tarty!” she snapped “I was being flirty, not tarty”.

“Shut up and give me another kiss” he said and she duly obliged.
