By the time me and Jacob are finished eating our Chinese it's 8pm so we decide to watch a movie in my room.
"Do you wanna put your stuff in the guest room before it starts?" I ask him.
"Yeah" he says picking his bag up. "I'm gonna get changed as well"
I show him where it is then go back into my room. After turning the tv on I get underneath my duvet since it's cold. Jacob comes back into my room with plaid pyjama pants on and a hoodie.
"Nice pyjamas" I wink.
"Thanks what are we watching?"
"Hmm I was thinking home alone" I say scrolling through Netflix.
"Yess i love that film" he says sitting on my bed.
"Me too it's one of my favourites" I put it on and we start watching.
About halfway through the movie Jacob turns to me "Do you mind if I get under the covers?"
"Of course you can you don't need to ask" I say. "By the way you need to be ready to leave by 8:00 tomorrow"
"Ughh don't remind me"
"And are you free after school? Lily wants to build an igloo and she said i should invite you"
"Yeah i'll come" He gets out of my bed and opens the curtain. "Woah the snow is so heavy" I join him at the window to see the snow falling fast and laying thickly. There was probably already an inch or so. "Odds on you going out in it right now in the clothes your in for 5 minutes" He says.
"1 to 5" I say ready to win.
"3, 2, 1, 3" We say at the same time.
"Nooo i'm gonna die of hypothermia. Jacob i am wearing shorts and a tshirt" I complain.
"You have to do it you lost" He laughs.
"Fine but you have to come with me"
"No way you agreed to this. Get your ass outside now" He grabs my arm and tries to pull me down the stairs but i manage to resist and stay where i am. "Am i gonna have to carry you"
"Or we could just forget about this and i could go back to my warm bed"
"Okay i'm gonna have to carry you" I suddenly feel hands on my waist and my body gets lifted over a shoulder.
"Jacob put me down now" I shriek.
"Nope" He walks out of my room and down the stairs easily despite my kicking him in the stomach. "Emily your making this a lot harder than it has to be" He reaches the door and pulls it open "Have fun" he throws me into the freezing snow and closes the door quickly. I stand up and try to open the door but he's already locked it.
"Sartorius you're gonna pay for this" i shout. He just smirks at me and waves the key. I suddenly have a thought. The front door. I run round the house and open the front door just as Jacob reaches it. He pushes against it and so do i.
"Not yet Emily it's only been two minutes"
"Jacob when i get back in that house you are so done" An idea forms in my mind. I bend down while still pushing the door but only a tiny bit so he can't see what i'm doing and pick up a handful of snow. I ball it up and collect more until i have a good sized snowball. I stand up again and give the door a big shove that startles Jacob. The door opens and i chuck the snowball right at his face. He screams and i run past him up to my room closing the door and locking it behind me. I love having a lock on my bedroom door. I hear him walking up the stairs. When he reaches my door he tries to open it but fails.
"Emily i'm sorry let me in"
"You better not have snow in your hands. If i open the door and get hit with a snowball you will be leaving my house in a bodybag"
"Why so salty? Just open the door"
I slowly turn the lock and open the door. He instantly hugs me "I hope you're not too cold after your time outside hopefully this will help" i feel something icy on my back. I thought he meant the hug but apparently not.
"Jacobbbbb i hate you" i get the lump of snow out from the bottom of my shirt and press it onto the top of his head so that it melts into his hair.
"Stop stop lets call a truce" he holds his hand out and i shake it. "No more snow" he smirks "Until tomorrow"
"I can you assure you that whatever little snowball fight you've got planned in your head i've already won. Now if you would excuse me i would like to get back to watching my film" i smile sweetly at him then get into my bed. He stands there for a minute looking confused. "Are you gonna watch this with me or not?" i ask him. He smiles and joins me in my bed.
***
I wake up to the blaring noise of my alarm. Before i even open my eyes it stops so i go back to sleep. It goes off again so I fling my arm in the direction of it but hit a face. My eyes shoot open. Jacob lay there asleep. Shirtless. I reach over him and grab my phone from my nightstand the time read 10am. Shoot.
"Jacob wake up" I shake him "we overslept we're two hours late and why are you in my bed"
"Chill we have a snow day" he says in a raspy voice "I actually woke up on time and had a text to tell me and sorry I think we both fell asleep watching the movie"
"And your shirtless because?" It's not that I didn't want a shirtless Jacob in my bed but it was kind of weird considering I had only known him for a week.
"I got too hot in the middle of the night"
"Whatever I'm going back to sleep" I roll over and close my eyes letting sleep take over once again.
