Fatal Attraction (Jensen Ackles Romance) COMPLETE

Skii Lessons and Lies

-CHAPTER ELEVEN-

The next day we were all getting ready to hit the slopes, all except Danneel who with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in another plonked herself in front of the fire.

"Are you really not coming?"

"No sweetie, I don't do heights of any kind."

"Isn't it boring here on your own?"

"Nope and besides this is the public lobby I meet many an interesting person sitting here."

"Don't bother, I've tried for years to get her on the slopes to no avail."

"Alright. Are we ready to go?" I asked Jensen.

"You ready for some lessons?"

"Oh no you don't need to bother with me. I'll go hire a-"

"Why pay someone for something I can teach you for free?" Jensen interrupted me.

"Well you don't want to waste all your time with this noob, I'd feel bad you came here to have fun."

"And I will, I'll have a hoot watching you land on your ass."

"Well sheesh thanks for that." I rolled my eyes. Jensen chuckled. "Only if you are sure?"

"Wouldn't offer otherwise." He walked over to Danneel and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Enjoy your book babe."

"You too." She replied clearly already lost in her book. Jensen and I headed out.

Jensen helped me put my skis on which looks way easier than it actually is. Before we hopped on the lift which was taking us 139km. I made the stupid mistake of looking down.

"Holy crap...." I squealed. Jensen looked to me concerned. "Were freaking high."

"Yes well it wouldn't be much fun to ski on a small slope," HE paused and looked at me. "Are you scared of heights?"

"Uh.... maybe a little." I replied giving Jensen a sheepish look. Jensen laughed. "I really want to ski and maybe conquer my fear at the same time."

"Oh boy this will be fun." Jensen continued to laugh as I crossed my arms in a huff with him for laughing at me. We reached the top and Jensen Talked me through the pizza and chips actions and how to use the sticks to my advantage.

I stepped up to the edge as others around us headed down with ease. I looked over and my stomach started doing flips as fear set in. "Oh god." I stumbled back.

"Hey you can do this. Face your fear and then it will no longer have a hold on you and just remember I'm right here with you okay?" He held out his hand I took it and we inched closer to the edge, but just as we were about to set off I pulled back, Jensen however ended up falling on his ass because he went forward as I pulled back. Laughing I helped him top his feet.

"What the hell?"

"Sorry I freaked I was about to but I let the fear get to me. Are you okay?"

"I'll live." He offered me his hand to try again. This time I done it and before I knew it I was gliding down the hill. Well maybe not gliding As we went over of course Jensen and I had to disband to grab our sticks. I was all over the place, my legs were wobblier than a bowl full of jelly and my arms flailed all over the place as I tried to get myself under control. I failed and wound up on my ass. Luckily Jensen who could control himself was keeping pace with me and when I fell he came to a halt to help me up, but as he done so he fell landing on top of me. We both burst into a fit of laughter. Jensen rolled off of me and sat up looking down at me. I looked up at him and my heart fluttered as my mind realized what was happening. We were having a moment. A moment I knew we shouldn't be having, a moment I hoped would end with a kiss, even though I shouldn't. Jensen leaned down and our lips lightly met as we lingered there, both knowing this shouldn't be happening, both of us trying to mentally talk ourselves out of it..... We both gave in as our lips crashed hard against each others for a few brief moments before I pushed him away.

"No! We can't" I scrambled to my feet almost instantly falling back on my ass as I done so. Jensen followed suit.

"Sorry I shouldn't.."

"We shouldn't have." I shook my head. "Lets just get going." I grabbed my sticks and slowly made my way down the hill.

When we reached the bottom I quickly rid myself of the skis and hurried to the cabin When I got inside I leaned against the back of the door and sobbed as a few stray tears escaped my eyes. I shouldn't have come, it was a bad idea. A noise startled me as Ben came down stairs.

"Hey babe whats up?" He asked as he noticed I was upset. HE came hurrying over and wrapped me up in a hug.

"Oh it's nothing."

"If it's making you cry, it's not nothing." He replied pulling me away to look me in the eyes. "What is it?"

I shook my head. "Seriously it's nothing. I just got really scared on the slopes and I dunno I got upset and then embarrassed so I ran back here. I lied through my teeth.

"Amber can we talk about this ....." Jensen came hurrying in the cabin stopping dead as he saw me and Ben. His eyes went between us both before I stepped away from Ben. There was an awkward silence quickly forming between us all.

"What did you need to talk to Amber about?" Ben asked. Jensen looked between us both again. I spoke up.

"Jensen sorry I just ran off like that, I just got really embarrassed about being so scared and getting upset." I said. Luckily Jensen clocked on.

"Right, I just wanted to talk to you about that. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. These things happen. It's not your fault you have a fear. I wish you didn't run away. We could have tried again. You know face your fear." He replied. I nodded.

"Sorry but I don't think skiing is my thing." I replied. "I'm just going to shower and warm up." I replied as I made my way up the stairs. I grabbed a fresh towel and headed into the bathroom ran the shower and proceeded to break down. I was such a horrible person, lying to Danneel and Ben. I needed to avoid Jensen the rest of the trip and if I couldn't then I would have to go home and take Nikki's advice about cutting all ties with Danneel so I would never have to deal with Jensen again.
