Blake bowed and then made their way back up the slopes.
Sandy and I carried on speaking about last year, and what happened for her to not be friends with Chloë anymore.
I gasped and drew in my breath as a snowball hit my back and the ice splattered slightly on my neck.
Sandy got one too, and she was up in a record time. “Oh, it’s on,” she yelled at Jace.
Everyone threw each other with snowballs as I made mine. The squish of snow pressed against my glove as I formed a big one. Blake would come again to steal a kiss, then it was payback.
But I took part in feeding snowballs to Sandy, crouching behind her.
When the snow fight ended, Blake sat down next to me.
Snow covered Sandy’s Beanie and scarf as I hid the snowball on the other side of me.
Blake pulled on my jacket for a kiss and as our lips touched, I dropped the snowball into his neck. He gasped into the kiss.
“You little—”
“That was payback,” I yelled, but knew I had to run. It was useless to run in snow as my feet kept squishing snow, making it harder to get away. He caught me fast, and we both went down as he grabbed snow and pushed it against my neck. But he got his kiss.
The kiss broke.
“You have fun?”
“It will be worth the skinning,” I said, and he laughed.
He pulled me up, and we got ready to go down the slopes again.
“I got this. Roll that camera.” Blake pointed at Sandy.
“On it, boss,” she yelled.
“Boss?” Mark yelled and everyone laughed.
“Seriously, I only have eyes for Elena,” Blake said.
More laughter came as heat rushed through my cheeks. Thank heaven my cheeks were already red from the cold.
We went down, and I muffled my shrieks against his chest.
Blake got the turn and the stop. Snow skidded over us, pelting me in the face, and everyone cheered at the top, as Blake hollered with his arms in the air.
I laughed as clumps of snow sticking to his knitted beanie and eyelashes. I brushed it away. “Well done. You did it.”
Our lips touched, and the kiss was amazing, tingling down my body and warming my limbs.
I hated when we went back to school around one.
It was Friday, and I did not know how I was going to fare an entire weekend without him.
Everything could change in a weekend.
But he kissed me as we waited for the bell to ring.
I slipped into the last class, and I couldn’t help the smile on my face. Today was really fun.
When the school bell rang, Blake was nowhere to be seen. I found Dad in the parking lot and I rushed to the pickup.
