Yes, I'm aware I just referred to Bus as a person. Shut up.
                              
"Alright, thanks for being such a good sport about it, Jill. Good sport in your own way..." I didn't hear the rest of what my mom said because it ended up as a mumble. Thanks, mom.
                              
"So, you'll have the house for yourself for about a week. I'll be back a few days after Christmas," my mom said right before she left the living room.
                              
"The house by myself you say? The house by myself..." I uttered while rubbing my chin seductively. Well, there are at least 5 people in the entire world that would find that shit attractive. 

                              
About an hour later, I got fed up with decorating the tree and decided to drop the Jill Bomb at Chase's place. Did that work? Jill Bomb? As in; I'm gonna drop in like a bomb with my surprise visit?
                              
Nope. That doesn't work.
                              
"No Bus, I reaaaally don't wanna take you for a walk," I heard Code groan the second I walked through the door. Bus was sitting in front of Code with the leash in his mouth while Code was rubbing his hair and face in despair.
                              
It was a lovely sight.
                              
"Jill! Jill will take you for a walk," Code told his dog.
                              
"Jill is gonna hurt Code if he keeps talking," I said in a cheery voice as if I was speaking to a dog but my eyes screamed murder at Code.
                              
Bus seemed confused and ran away with the leash still in his mouth. He was probably gonna bother someone else in the house since Code was too lazy. As usual.
                              
"What brings you here, my trusted little fleabag?" Code asked.
                              
"Figured I'd drop the Jill Bomb in here," I answered.
                              
Code stared at me for a second while blinking with his eyes, "that doesn't work," he concluded. "My balls wanted to crawl inside of my body when you said that."
                              
"So it does work!" I said.
                              
"You know, in the past I would've loved it when you would drop by but these days I have to work on my sulking," Code told me.
                              
"Is this a new hobby?" I asked curiously. I wouln't be surprised if it was.
                              
"No! My parents decided to keep the restaurant open on Christmas day. Can you believe that?" Code fumed. He didn't 'fume' like normal people, he just said the words a little louder than usual while still maintaining a neutral expression.
                              
"So it's just you and Chase that day?" I asked, imagining the two of them having a romantic dinner by themselves.
                              
"No, they're only gonna open it during the evening, so we celebrate at noon. Outrageous! Everyone knows I'm not alive until at least two o'clock. Noon is simply too early for my fragile mind," he complained.
                              
"At least you get to spend it with your family. My mom told me she's going to London for a week, leaving poor old me alone for Christmas," I fake whined. I was already over it. To be honest, I didn't care too much. I knew that I could probably overeat and open presents when she was back.
                              
"Haha, you win. That's sad," Code laughed. Good to see my pain caused him such joy.
                              
"What's sad? Oh hey, Jill! I didn't know you were coming over," Chase appeared with the leash in his hand and a smug looking Bus next to him.
                              
"She decided to drop the Jill Bomb in here," Code deadpanned.
                              
"Jill Bomb? I like it," Chase chuckled.
                              
"It doesn't work," Code and I said simultaneously. Don't get me wrong, I love my boyfriend but that dork of a guy doesn't have a clue.
                              
"Was Code sulking again?" Chase asked me while his brother narrowed his eyes at him.
