The invisible Canadian man slipped into the almost silent café.
"Hello, would you like something to drink," a pretty waitress with a messy black bun asked him.
"N-no, I'm fine. I-I'm j-just waiting for someone..."
"Sure thing sugar," she smiled and walked off.
Matthew looked around frantically for his date. She said she would get off work anytime now.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Our last song for the night," you said through the microphone. Matthew's head snapped into your direction. It was strange that he didn't notice you there before. He thought you were a waitress.
"City sidewalks busy sidewalks .
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear,"
You saw Matthew and gave him a small smile. He blushed at the attention. It was hard not to. As it was also hard not to fall in love with you when you sang.
"Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day," you finished and walked directly off the stage to Matthew and wrapped your arms around his neck.
"Merry Christmas ___________," he smiled and gave you a kiss.
