We walked to a household and Tom blindfolded me. Through the way in Tom guided me.

V: ta-da!!! This is my work, The decor and the Jacuzzi.

The backyard. It was snowing? It had a decent ice rink to figure skate. And a jacuzzi? I don't know what it eactly means but i think its the bath tub with bubbling water by side or some kind of drink...

V: Even though you might be trained to cold, I always would like a jacuzzi After some cold skating or any parties.
L: How? I mean, I love figure skating and normal skating for that matter. It was one of my favorite hobbies in Utsira.
V: Tom mentioned about Utsira and we just researched and Tom told figure skating existed way long back sooo here we are!
L: but how do i skate with this?

I pointed to my damn big gown.

T: that's where rob's idea comes in.

Tom wore his comfy blue sweatshirt and pants with just socks on his feet.

L: oh come on!! you get to change and i don't?? That's unfair. Wait you too are wearing a short frock!
R: well, we were here already when you guys had staring contest.
T: Alright ! left, is it not Robert?
R: yup!

Tom walked towards me as i stood having zero ideas. Then he untied the bow by my left waist and ripped off the top skirt.

L: AAAhhhhhh.... THE HELL?? THOMAS!

V and Rob from the sides pulled down on my sleeves and ripped it off too. What on earth honestly? It was a tranformation dress! Rob always was obsessed over fashion of all times!

L: You guys could have given me a warning!!
V: it would have " ripped" the fun out of it...
L: hmmm.... not funny.

They laughed. I took a look at my dress, from a creamy ivory ball gown, now i had a pastel blue strapless frock. Looked nice and voluminous.

L: i thought this was a cancan.
R: have you ever used a cancan?
L: nope that's why, this situation and... never really wore a strapless before.
R: i chose it for you cause I KNOW it will be good for you. And guess how it actually is?
L: bad?
T: Stunning.
V: Hot!
R: Exactly! now shall set up the playlist? Mademoiselle, your phone!
T: here you go!
L: ugh! Liar! that's why you needed the phone?
T: *Winks*

I turned around and made my way to the rink.

L: you sure these dress won't go up when i skate?
R: nope just shut it already! I am tryin to work.
V: what did we say about being rude to the B-day girl.
L: yeaa Its my day remember. And you guys comin in or not.
V: ohhh Yeah! for sure.
T: uhhh i don't know to skate. Well i read about it but no experience.
L: your kidding.
R: Well I guess "The student" should teach "The teacher" now.

Rob said with air quotes by the dj booth.

L: would you like to?
T: anything for the birthday girl.

We wore our shoes and got into the rink. V just skated past by and I held out my hand for Tom to hold on. 

T: such a gentleman!
L: it's nothing m'lady.

He entered the rink and first wobbled but i held him.

L: I got you, LOVE.
T: your gonna keep teasing me aren't you?
L: Yep. you said you would do anything for the B-day girl and so you have to withstand this.

I held him and tried to move back slowly. I wished to figure skate so bad. It used to be me and my dad.  I always watch mom and dad doing their skating dance which i adored. I loved when my father let me to skate with him, we had our own steps but i never got to do the one my parents did.

I noticed Tom was not really struggling. I can not believe this liar anymore. So i just picked up my pace and skated backwards fast. He did not loose balance. Ha... Liar! i knew it!

Rob started playing my playlist on shuffle.

*Twilight love- by Eblin Winton and Rose Amos

L: Liar!
T: It made you have fun right?
L: I like to figure skate... Teaching not much but have this dance to try.
T: Teach me.
L: follow my lead.

I asked him to hold me from the back by my waist, then i held his other hand and we glided across the rink. Then he spun me around but he let go of my hand which made me spin towards Vanessa. She held me perfectly fine as the lyrics sang  " A spark in our eyes as she caught me..." 

V: Well this is romantic! my fake girlfriend.
L: indeed fake girlfriend.... 
I started laughing uncontrolably and she joined me in.
L:what are we doing?
V: honestly... dancing.

I did some of my parent's move with her. She was soo good our co-ordination was A+.
V, As she was behind me doing a step she said,

V: now go to your to-be boyfriend.

And spun me towards Tom. I just shook my head and gave a smile of disapproval. 
I reached Tom's hand in no time other but perfectly when the lyrics sang- " Hold me till twilight, hold me till death ..." .

L: Why do these lyrics sync soo much ? (trying to make it look like a joke)
R: Its cause of your awesome DJ!

Me and Tom both did a perfect eye roll together and just started to laugh.

L: You held me perfectly when it said hold me. Too perfect to be true...
T: What? you?
L: Shut up.. you make it hard to focus!

He held me by my thigh as we started a full round of the rink, faced each other, my hands up his shoulders and when it started to slow, I skated forward as he skated backward. Our hands danced along in the air but never touched, he never broke the eye contact. Just when i thought this was too romantic he picked me by my waist up high and spun thrice! Then slowly let me down as the song ended. My eyes wandered towards the ground unable to feel all the emotions that are exploding in me. This was too overwhelming and out of anything i could do i laugh cried.

Tom rised my chin up to make me look into that ocean blue eyes of his. My brown eyes wanting to set sail in those oceans. 

T: you good?
L: My father used to spin me around thrice like that when i was little. I always went skating with them, And my mom and dad had these special skating steps, I always saw it and admired. Now i am getting to do them with you.... and V.

I saw V and she looked at me with a smirk. 

L: well, This is a happy occasion, next song! 

Thank you for reading!!
