“It’s new year tomorrow. Are you sure we can go there?”
“Maybe?” I look at him confusedly. “Then what about Vermont?”
“You know how to ski?” He gapes at me.
“No, that’s why I’m asking you.” I frown at him.
“Oh, do you really want to go there?”
“Will you teach me?” I raise my eyebrow at him.
“Sure.”
“Wait,”
“What?”
“How about Adela?” We can’t just leave her, can we?
“Oh,” He stared into me.
“Uhhh… I have an idea.” I dialed Aisha’s number.
“Hi, baby doll.” She chirps.
“Hey, ummm… I was wondering if you can let Adela stay at your place.” I chew on my lip.
“Why?”
“Well, Ellard and I won’t be around for a couple of days and we can’t just let her wander around, can we?”
“Right. Sure.”
“Thanks.” I smile.
“No problem. Good luck.”
“W-What?” My eyes widen slightly. What is she talking about? Good luck?
“Never mind. Bye.” She hangs up.
“Let’s pack our bags.” Skiing. Well, I don’t know how but somebody can teach me right? I’ve always wanted to go there anyway.
“Where in Vermont?” Ellard asks while driving.
“Uhhh… Smuggler’s Notch?” I say in a not sure voice. I just heard some of them talking about it.
“Good choice.” We immediately pack our things and headed off to Vermont. It’s a 6 hours’ drive.
“Ummm…” I look at him while driving. Now that I’m with him in this car, I notice that the last time I drove was a month ago. He always drives for me. What? Is he my chauffeur now? I don’t want that.
“What?” He looks at me then returns his eyes on the road.
“If you get tired, I can drive.” I shrug.
“I’m totally fine.” He smiles at me.
“Now, I’m feeling guilty.” I bit my lip.
“What? Why?” He looks curiously at me.
“It’s your first new year in New York and I took you away. The count down in Times Square is a sight that you should really see.” I frown.
“What’s with Times Square?”
“There’s a ball that goes down from a pole. Fireworks. You name it.” I smile at the memory. I’ve only watch it for one time but what I saw? Well, it really did an impression in my mind.
“How can I enjoy that without you, anyway?” He mumbled incoherently. I’m not really sure if what I heard was what he really said.
When we reach the place, without me driving, it’s already 5 in the evening. So much for the 6 hours’ drive. His body must hurt like hell.
“Can we have a room for two?” I ask the person on the front desk.
“We only have one bedroom left.” She said while checking on the computer.
