Sorry this has taken so long to update, but here it is! I also want to take the time to say thank you for reading! I left for a while because school has been crazy and I come back and there are a thousand reads on my story! More than I could of ever dreamed of, so thank you so much for reading! I'm going to try to update more often from now on. Anyways, happy reading!

”Shut your gaping mouth. You’re catching flies,” Connor shot a look of disgust at Sophia as he shoved his way out of the car while everyone else was still seated.

Sophia finished yawning and shot Connor a deathly look.

“Wait for me,” Tiffany whined as she struggled to follow her boyfriend.

Sophia was the next to get out. The snow crunched under her feet and the crisp air stung her nose. Cold winds softly brushed against her cheeks. Her eyes darted toward the ski resort. The exterior imitated a log cabin but it was obvious the inside would showcase more than the traditional one room.

“Come on,” Bethany tugged on Sophia’s arm. Looking over her shoulder, Sophia gave Nathan an apologetic smile. 

"A word of advice, son?" Nate felt a firm hand on his shoulder as he stood by the trunk of the car. "I know you and  your brother have your little feuds, and I don't interfere, but don't pull others into it with you. I like Sophia, try not to scare her off."

Nathan chuckled, "I have no idea what you're talking about," he replied coolly as he grabbed a few cases of luggage and carried them in.

Nathan carried the suit cases upstairs and into the hall way. He began to survey each bedroom. Obviously, the master bedroom would go to his parents, he thought to himself.  A second thought occurred to him, would he be sharing a room with Sophia or with his brother? His parents would probably prefer the latter than the former.

From the hall way in which he stood, he could hear the loud squeals of laughter. Curious, he walked into one of the bed rooms and peered outside. Miles of white blanket stretched to the horizon, and trees dusted powder. Down below, Nathan could see Sophia, his sister, and his brother throwing snow on one another. Snow adorned Sophia's frazzled dark hair. He admired the redness of her cheeks and her pink lips. He envied the puffs of cold air that enveloped around her. As if she could feel his eyes on her, she looked up and waved. He returned the same toothy grin that she gave him. His palms felt clammy. Without too much though, he wiped his hands against his jeans. As he turned away from the window, he was met by a short blonde wall.

"Hey," the blonde wall greeted smoothly under her breath.

"Tiffany," Nate tried to side step her. Instead of getting away, it only caused her to come closer to him. She pressed her hands against his chest and back him up against the actual wall.

"I've missed you," she cooed.

"This," he directed the little space between them, "is over."

The petite figure scoffed," Is it because of that damn girl? Damn her to hell."

"Swearing isn't becoming of a lady," Nathan said nonchalantly as he turned his head to face the wall rather than meet her gaze. 

By standing on the tips of her toes, she brought herself slightly closer to him. Her hands were on his waist to steady her, "You didn't seem to mind the other day when  you picked me up at the airport" she lowered her head to kiss his neck. Immediately, he jerked away.

"Tiffany, stop it."

"Oh come on," she chuckled under her breath. "Don't give me that, because you're my brother's girl junk." She rolled her eyes, "... because it didn't stop you last time," she ran her hand up and down his arm. He clenched his fists.
