I turned around so fast I almost fell. My heart was pounding in my chest. Thump... Thump... Thump... When my eyes met his, the world around me vanished. At first I didn't know if the Whiskey was making me hallucinate this moment, yet if that was the case then I never want to sober up.
"You weren't planning on jumping right?" he asked. It took a moment for me to remember how to speak, and when I did all I could say was one thing.
"Ice..."
"Hey Angel eyes", a smile touched his lips and I wasted no time running into his arms. I threw myself at him, causing us to stumble back but he caught us both and wrapped his strong arms around me. I held onto him as if any moment now he would disappear, I buried my face in the crook of his neck as my tears began falling. He squeezed me tightly and I knew this was real, he was here... My Ice was here.
I pulled away and looked up at him through tear filled eyes, "it's okay Hope, I'm here" he whispered cupping my face and planting a kiss on my lips, I threaded my fingers through his hair which was shorter than I remembered. I wasn't about to make this moment short, he kissed me like he was suffocating and I was his only supply of oxygen. I felt just the same, after months of suffocating, I could breathe again.
After a few minutes I pulled back and he wiped my tears with his thumbs, a smile graced his beautiful face and I found myself smiling properly in what felt like years. "How did you find me?"I asked confused, "let's just say an old friend led me to you...", I thought for a moment and then realisation dawned on me. "Joker" I said, he nodded in reply and I made a mental note to thank him later. Then I began to panic, we had to leave, as soon as possible, if my mom's find us together, they'll take me as far away from him as possible.
"Ice we need to run, now. If they fi-", he shut me up by kissing me again. Once he pulled away I was about to speak again, "Don't worry Angel eyes, they wont take you away from me again". I frowned confused once again, "what do you mean?" I asked, "My father let me go, said I deserve to have a normal life, I deserved to love and be loved, that I deserved you most of all" he explained and I could tell by his tone his heart grew a little more for his father. I didn't expect this from Snart, but in the end he surprised, there was a little good in every evil.
That still didn't solve the problem with my mom's though, what will they say? How can they ever accept him? Accept us... "And don't worry about your mom's Angel eyes, I will spend every day persuading them that you are the greatest thing in my life and I will never let a single hair fall from your perfect head". My stomach grew warm at his words, a fluttering feeling. I reached up and kissed him once again, long and sweet.
He pulled back and began taking off his jacket, he put it around me and tugged me forward. "Now let's get you home before you freeze that cute little butt of yours, and then we'll talk to your family. After that we will discuss why the Hell you're wasted on Whiskey young lady" at his last words my smile dropped. I looked up at him with innocent eyes,
