My enemy since childhood

Chapter 67

I stood outside the hotel entrance and waited for Thomas. It tingled in the stomach, imagine being with him for a whole day, alone. In some way i felt happy not being able to ski, had i been good both me and Thomas could have followed the others, now we actually had something to blame because i was so bad. No one would immediately suspect anything. Or maybe a little, they probably wondered why Thomas wanted to come with me, he hated me. But i wouldn't think about that now, they could believe what the hell they wanted.

Lightly i kicked around in the snow. I hadn't put my skis on yet, they were sitting so nicely on the shelf i thought with a grin on my face, didn't want to cause a bigger disaster now that i was alone. Sure it was full of people who would surely help me if i fell but it was a risk i didn't dare to take, i had to endure many embarrassments during this trip.

I put my hand up and squinted at the sun and far away towards the lift i seemed to be able to see Thomas. It must be him. My heart skipped a beat in my chest and i couldn't stop smiling, it was him.

"Hey there" Thomas said with an equally big smile as he made a stop cord in front of me.

"Hello there self" i said so my cheeks start heating up. I heard myself how stupid it sounded but Thomas just laughed before hugging me and giving me a kiss.

"I will kiss you all day, you have such perfect lips" he murmured against my mouth.

"I won't protest" i whispered with a smile meeting his kiss again.

As always, the outside world disappeared when i was in his arms so what brought me back to reality was when someone happened to walk into us and mumble half-heartedly sorry.

I leaned into Thomas arms with a laugh before looking up and kissing him on the chin.

"What do you say? Should we go for a bit before we get stuck here and not leave the hotel room all day?" he asked amused so i straightened up and gave him a sly grin. The thing about staying in the hotel room all day didn't sound too bad.

"Absolutely, we can go for a few turns but i think the hotel room sounds more enticing" i replied and smiled challengingly.

Before i could turn to walk over to the ski rack, Thomas pulled me into his arms again and kissed me, hard. It was probably not just me who thought the hotel sounded like a good idea.

With a laugh i went to get the skis. Not just because the idea of ​​spending all day in the bed with Thomas felt more appealing than anything else, this skiing thing really wasn't my thing.

I took a deep breath and put the skis down on the ground. Come on now, i thought and clicked the boots. I wobbled a few times but it still went better than before. A little better.

Thomas took my hand and slowly we slid down towards the lifts. I couldn't help but squeal and squeeze his hand harder as the speed increased. If i fell now, i would never put on a pair of skis again.

We made it to the big lift without any major problems and i was happy about that. A big improvement on the first time when i crashed straight into Brooke.

"Are you ready?" Thomas asked as we lined up for the lift.

"Yeah, but i guess i don't have many options. Every time i have gotten in this damn lift i have ended up getting down myself, with mixed results" i said, laughing nervously.
