How About #17 From The Prompt List, If No One Has Asked For It Yet :)

How about #17 from the prompt list, if no one has asked for it yet :)

Just something funny for a change and not angsty.

17 - "You don't look so good."

“You don’t look so good.“ She had difficulties suppressing her laughter. A very wet Father Christmas stood in front of her. Water was dripping from the white beard and the coat clung to his body. Around his ankles a puddle was forming on her previously pristine kitchen floor.

“Don’t I?” Siegfried looked down at his feet, inspected the wet cuffs, shook the sleeve a few times, spraying water droplets across the kitchen table and onto Audrey’s previously dry dress. “I would like to disagree.”

“Would you now.” Her voice was suddenly much too high, and she pressed her lips tightly together. Uncontrollable laughter was threatening to burst free.

“Yes. It was a proper snowball fight after all. How am I supposed to look?” He pulled the green hat off his head revealing his rather dishevelled hair. Even going through it with one hand could not bring order into the mess. The wet beard landed on the kitchen table. “Amidst a group of excited children, Father Christmas did not stand a chance.” A grin spread across his face. “Hence the appropriate state of this rather fine costume.”

The mischievous sparkle in his eyes was too much. She could no longer keep a straight face, burst into a fit of laughter and had to turn away from him. Another glance at the bedraggled Father Christmas and she would be unable to stop laughing for the rest of the evening.  There was still a dinner to prepare as well as the last arrangements for Jimmy’s second birthday tomorrow. She had to pull herself together at some point, rather sooner than later.

“You should…,” she managed to say when she had caught her breath, “…. perhaps get changed.” Another giggle escaped her, followed by a loud shriek when his arms, still covered in the wet, green coat, encircled her from behind and pulled her close to his chest.

“Or we could both go upstairs. There’s still time until our guests arrive.” He placed a kiss on her neck. “Your dress looks rather wet now, Mrs Farnon. Can’t have you catch a cold.”
