This is a Christmas story for Mike

When he opened the door, he caught a wiff of flowery pefume and was graced with the sight of a blond, young lady, dressed to the ninth, in a fluffy fur jacket, golden mini skirt and highheels. She was smiling sweetly and was wrapping one of her slender fingers around a golden curl.
He moved to the side and she entered the flat.
He opened a bottle of champagne and they clinked glasses while her bell-like laughter filled the spacious room.
The so-called "audition" was very satisfactory for both of them and they fell asleep naked on his king size bed.

When he opened the door, he saw a small panda bear at the doorstep.
He was holding a little present in his hands.
Mike exclaimed: "Hey darling, so nice to see you, what are you doing here, so far away from home?".
The panda bear answered: "Well, I began to think that you and I share a lot of memories and that I am glad, that we never fell out. And I know that you are very busy and very successful, but I thought maybe you would like to have something that in a free moment reminds you of our past.
With **[[this little cacao tree seedling|http://bit.ly/2KEKTNV]]**, I want to manifest our friendship. It is called Petit Prince Lambert and it is going to grow stronger every day, although you don't have to lift a finger, like our friendship."
Mike was touched and he took the seedling from Good Old Panda and asked if he wanted to join him for dinner and chat. And the Panda agreed happily. They enjoyed a nice meal and talked about the past and the future all through the night.
The next day they planted the tree next to the grave of his grandfather.
Then the panda bear had to leave for Hamburg and they said goodbye.
Mike went home and felt better than he felt for a long time.
He decided to come back for his little prince right the next weekend to check for his progress.

# The next Morning
When he woke up, the smell of stale alcohol and his own sweat hit him.
He was alone, but she had left a note on his desk:

He scratched his head, sighed and went to the kitchen to prepare a Bloody Mary. He raised the glass and proclaimed: "There's no business like show business! Back to work!"
And with that he started another day in front of his laptop.
Outside the snowflakes had stopped falling and the pale light gave the room a tinge of blue.

# Introduction
There was a very handsome and charismatic bachelor living in a luxurious, modern pent house in uptown New York.
He was working in the film industry and was following his career path eagerly. He had produced a lot of successful movie series for Netflix and he was known to work long hours every day of the week.
So his freetime was rather non-existent and he had neglected his friends and family for a long time, so that they had turned their backs on him.
So there was noone he had to visit for Christmas, no ties and no commitments, which he was thankful for.
But when he was sitting all alone in front of his TV, playing video games and drinking beer, while the snowflakes where dwindling down outside of his window, he suddenly felt quite lonely.
He was torn from his thoughts, when there was a knock on his door.
He shouted: "Who's there?!".
