Firm hands wrapped around my waist and caught me right before I toppled over on the ice.
"Woah, there. I got you babe,"
Evan held me tight to his chest, slowly gliding me forward on the rink. I concentrated hard, trying my hardest to stay on two feet. Unfortunately, my body was unwilling and my legs gave out, leaving Evan and his stupidly good "standing up on slippery things" skill to catch me. And, he did, straightening me up and lacing both arms around my waist in an attempt to keep my horrible balance from getting the best of me. I looked up at him and gave a feeble smile.
"Babe, I'm just no good at ice skating. Here, you wanted to come, you go have fun," I carefully sidestepped onto regular ground and plopped down onto the bench in defeat, "you'll have no fun carrying me around the whole time,"
He skated over, leaning on the edge of the rink and giving me a sly smile.
"Baby that's the whole point. It's the best feeling in the world to have you in my arms,"
I raised an eyebrow and smirked at him, "Come on, I suck,"
"Oh you definitely suck," he came over to me, grabbing my hands and pulling me up,"so I'm gonna teach you, so you'll get better and actually have fun,"
Cocking me head to the side, I dragged him back playfully. He tugged me closer to him so that I was wrapped up his arms. Looking down at me, he placed a soft kiss on my lips, I in return swivelled my body around to give him better access. I deepened the kiss and felt him lick my bottom lip for entrance. This brought me back to where we were; in the middle of a crowded ice rink. My cheeks flushed red and I buried my head in his shirt out of embarrassment. He gave a soft chuckle and I could feel the breath rise in his chest.
"Are you ready to give it another try?"
I looked up at him and slowly nodded.
So, taking the initiative, Evan grabbed either side of my waist and led me gently back onto the ice. He gradually edged me along, telling me to go like I was walking normally. This advice proved harder than it sounded, as I soon found myself slipping in an awkward direction and falling flat on my butt. I let out a soft groan and Evan immediately knelt down to see if I was ok.
"You alright babe?"
I winced slightly, but then smiled at him. He pulled me back up, firmly grasping me once again. A wide grin spread on my face.
"Everything perfect as long as you're here."
