Hot Ice

Chapter 5: A Night To Remember

When we got to our rooms I told my grandma everything and she got excited. I asked my grandma if I could go. "Of course!, but tell me everything that happens after." She said winking at me. I laughed. I trusted my grandma, she's one of those cool, fun and funny grandmas. And she also helps me with advice most of the time. I decided to let my hair down. Then I changed my blue tie-dye hoodie to a white sweatshirt with laces on the sides and I kept the same leggings and tennis shoes on. When I checked the time it was already 12:01 a.m. So I went running to the ice skating place. I had to wait outside because it was closed. I waited for Noah. When I checked the time it was already it was already 12:15 a.m. I figured that maybe he was running late. Then it was 12:20 a.m. then 12:28 a.m. I thought he bailed on me, so I was gonna leave. I was pretty sad, my eyes were almost about to water up as I was walking away, but then I felt someone grabbing my hand. When I turn around I see Noah. He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt with a gray jacket over and some dark gray sweatpants with some black vans. "Where are you going?" He asks. "It's 12:28 a.m. I thought that you bailed on me." I say. I was so thankful that I didn't cry. "Oh, I'm so sorry it's that it was pretty hard to get the keys to open the gates and I lost track of time." He says. I looked at him with a confused face with a smile. "Don't ask." He says. Then I roll my eyes and laugh. He opened the gate and we went to get our skates. He helps me put on my skates, again, and he helps me stand up. Then he ties his skates. We both enter the rink and start skating. He skates amazing obviously and I just skated slowly. Suddenly, I lost my balance and was about to fall but he catches me just in time. He smiles at me and I smile back at him. He helps me balance myself better and when I got the hang of that he showed me to skate with one leg up but he skated with me and held me. Suddenly there was an upbeat song and the lights turned green, I don't know how that happened but it doesn't matter. "Do you want to dance?" He asks me while extending his hand. "I'd love to." I say smiling. Then I grabbed his hand and started dancing. He spun me around and I laughed. Then he was skating really fast and I lost him. While I was looking for him I felt someone grabbing me from my waist. When I turned around I saw Noah. I giggled. We continued dancing. Then he was going to carry me in the air like one of those professional ice skating dances. "No no no no no, I'm going to fall!" I say almost yelling at him. "Don't worry, I won't let you fall, trust me." He says smiling at me. I smile back and close my eyes and take a deep breath. He was slowly lifting me up, I was in the air. I slowly opened my eyes and I was very high. It was amazing, it felt like I was flying. And I don't know why but, I always feel safe in his arms.

Noah's P.O.V.

While I was carrying her and skating to the beat of the song I looked up at Lily and she looked so happy and gorgeous! I think... I'm falling for her. I know we just met today but, she is such an amazing girl and I want to get to know her better. I want to tell her how I feel but I don't know how. And also I work here and she's on vacation. It could never work, could it?

Lily's P.O.V.

I was having so much fun with Noah, he is such an awesome guy. He is so dreamy and sweet. But he works here and I'm on vacation, it could never work, right? I really like him but I don't know if he feels the same way. I think he's just doing his job, I think. When he puts me down the song was already over. "See? It wasn't that bad." He says. "Yeah, I kinda liked it, it was pretty fun." I say. Then the song changes to a slow song and the lights changed to purple. Then we both look at each other in the eyes. "May I have this dance?" He asks while extending his hand. "Yes, you may." I say bowing and smiling. I grabbed his hand and wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my waist. We were both doing eye contact and I we were smiling. His eyes are so AMAZING! There was a moment of silence and I broke it saying: "how old are you?"
"Oh I'm 17." He answers. "Oh, so you are one of the younger skaters right? I asked. "Yeah, I'm very lucky to be here." He says. "Wow, that's amazing!" I reply. "Yeah, so how old are you?" He asks me. "Oh, um, I'm 15." I say. "Woah you look like 17, you're really tall." He says. "Yeah I play volleyball; I guess it's a bad thing too." I say looking down thinking that I was too young for him.Then he lifts my head up and we were staring at our eyes. "No, it's not. And I don't care." He says smiling and winking at me. I smile and give a small chuckle. Then we continued slow dancing and I laid my head on his chest. I felt safe. I need to tell him how I feel, but how? I lift my head up and I was going to tell him how I feel. "It's now or never." I thought to myself.
"I think..." I sighed. "I think that, I like you." I said. He just stared at me. I felt regret and sadness. I am so stupid, how could he like me back? "I-I have to go." I stutter. I turned around and was leaving and my eyes were watering up. Then I felt him grabbing my hand and turned me around. "What are you doi-?" He interrupted me with a kiss. It felt amazing. He cupped my face and I did the same with his. When we pulled away we stare at each other and smile and he licked his lips. "I like you too. Sorry I made you wait so long, I just couldn't believe what you said, I thought you didn't like me." He says. I smile and we were leaning in closer and our lips connected again. When we pull away I blush and we smile at each other, then we continued slow dancing and I rest my head on his chest. When the song was over we hugged each other. His hugs are the best. Then we took off our skates and we left the ice skating place. We held hands and we were talking to get to know each other better. I told him that I really liked volleyball and surfing and that he should try it sometime. "Yeah, that sounds fun!" He says. When I checked my phone it was 2:02 a.m. "OMG! I have to go!" I tell him. "Ok but can we hang out tomorrow?" He asks. "Yes! Wait... is this a date?" I ask. "Maybe..." He says smiling. I roll my eyes and laugh. "Meet me at the ice skating place at 1:10 p.m." He says. "Okay." I say. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and left. "Bye!" I say screaming while running. He laughs. "Bye beautiful." He says almost whispering. When I got to my room, my grandma was sleeping. I was so tired that I didn't bother to change or take a shower, I just went straight to bed.
