December 31st, 1981 (Thursday)

Christmas passed. For Regina, it was just as wonderful on the Eve, with her parents, her daughter and, her fiancée, as on the 25th, at the farm. Everyone was happy, singing and dancing all night. She got to meet Skylight and see his progress in training.

When they came back from the farm, Andrea was already "out" of tiredness. Regina left her with her parents and went to Robert's apartment.

At the apartment, Regina told him that she had one more gift for him and wanted to give him tonight.

─ Really? What is it?

She changed the subject.

─ Honey, I'm very hot. Can I take a shower first?

─ Sure! Go ahead. I'll make us a snack in the meantime.

Regina ran to the bathroom, took a quick shower and dressed the lingerie that she had bought. A transparent, red baby-doll set with lace thong.

On her wrists and ankles, she wore bracelets with small white feathers and on her head a Santa hat. She put on some very high heels, also red. Put on her favorite perfume on her earlobes, between her breasts, on her wrists, behind her knees and on her butt cheeks.

She took out of her purse a little bell and grabbed tightly on her hand not to make any noise.

She opened the bathroom door carefully to check if Robert wasn't in the bedroom and laid with her belly down with her legs crossed in the air.

─ Bert, can you help me here for a minute?

─ I'm going.

She heard his steps coming to her direction and started smiling in expectation. She was trying to imagine how he would feel about the surprise.

When Robert walked in the room, she rang the little bell on her hands.

─ Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas!

His face after he saw her was indescribable. She knew she had nailed the gift.

Robert didn't say a thing and started undressing quickly, nodding his head negatively, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He came near her naked and completely hard, kneeling on the bed. She continued in the same position.

First he tapped the pompom of the hat, after the feathers on her arms and, unexpectedly, turned her body and attacked her mount in a savage way.

─ Where should I start, Mrs. Claus?

New Year's had arrived ...

On New Year's Eve, Robert had a few patients in the morning. The feelings he had experienced with Regina on Christmas' night were still vivid in his mind.

They spent the afternoon relaxing in her house's pool. Andrea was very happy, playing in the water with Robert. The weather was cloudy and sultry.

Walter decided to do a barbecue. The cook left all of the side dishes ready, including flan and pineapple entremets. Robert helped her father-in-law on the grill. At night, Regina played the piano and her mother joined her on the violin. Sonia used to be a music teacher and knew how to play plenty of instruments. She was a big influence on Regina to follow her music career and now she was teaching her granddaughter how to play the violin. Even Robert, after a couple of beers, took a chance of singing some country songs.

Before midnight, he called the farm to wish a Happy New Year to his family and was thrilled when he talked to his mother. There was a very special bond between them.

Minutes before the clock turning midnight, everybody gathered around in front of the house to watch the fireworks. Andrea was sleeping heavily on Robert's arms that not even the noise of the fireworks woke her up. 

At the stroke of midnight, Robert kissed Regina with kindness and promises in his eyes. After they both kissed Andrea, who was still sleeping, and greeted Walter and Sonia who were tightly hugged, sharing secrets.

That night, Robert agreed on sleeping on Regina's bedand the first sunshine of 1982 found them awake and exhausted from loving eachother.
