We kept driving behind two cars and pulled into a path covered with dirty snow that ran between rows of trees.
It was really beautiful here as part of the green leaves showed underneath the snow.
The SUV at the front stopped and a guy with red hair climbed out and swung a gate open.
The SUV at the front drove through and carried on driving. The second car followed. We waited for the guy to close the gate and the door next to me opened.
Freckles dusted his face as he scooted into the seat. An icy breeze followed behind him and caressed my skin.
“Elena, Mike, Mike—”
“Yeah, we all know who Elena is, Blake.”
“Fuck off,” Blake said, and everyone laughed. He made me feel so special.
Mike stared at me. “You really have beautiful green eyes.”
“Excuse me?” Blake asked, and Mike’s gaze flickered to Blake.
“I’m just saying, Dude.”
I sucked my lips as I found Blake glaring at Mike.
“Yeah, it better stay at just saying.”
The guys teased Mike, and Blake winked at me with a grin, making my stomach fluttered again but reposition the grin on his face into a scowl as he looked at Mike again. I didn’t sum him up as a jealous guy.
We stopped on a hill with a steep slope. Trees with snow covering the tops. It was really beautiful here.
A guy was busy loading off giant tubes from the SUV’s trunk.
“We are going tubing?” I looked at Blake.
“A bit of fun.” Blake scrunched up his nose, making him look sexy again.
I froze as Chloë and her friends climbed out of the second car.
Crap.
“Relax, you are with me.”
“You better not leave me alone today.”
“I won’t.”
We climbed out of the jeep, and sunlight sparkled off the snow, giving us a glittering display.
I could feel Chloë’s eyes on me as Blake grabbed my hand and led me to the girl from yesterday morning. She wore a brown parka with laced up boots reaching her calves and a skinny jean. A brown beanie covered her hair and a white scarf kept her neck warm.
She turned around as we neared, and her lips formed into a smile. “Oh, hi, Elena.”
“Hi, thank heaven you are here.” I sounded grateful, and they both laughed.
“Yeah, well, I’m with Mark, so.”
“The guy with the red hair?”
“Yeah, what did he do?” She looked at Blake.
