My Best Friends Dad

Chapter 19: ice

"I'm probably going to fall a lot, just to warn you." I laughed, as I started putting Paige's skates on. We wore the same shoes size, but she wore a small in clothes and I wore a large.

"It will be ok, I'll help you." Tyler told me, as he tied his skates up. We walked toward the indoor rink, hand in hand.

"It's a little bit chilly in here!" I told him, as I started to get goose bumps. Tyler stopped dead in his tracks, and took of his scarf.

He wrapped it around my neck, as he got closer to me. His arms wrapped around my waist after he was done, and his lips were only inches from mine.

"Feeling warm yet?" He asked, as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled him close, into a kiss. I was definitely feeling warmer.

"Yeah, now that you're wrapped around me. Let's go skate!" I excitedly said, as I dragged him toward the rink.

I held his hand as I stepped onto the icy ground, and almost slipped.But I hesitantly got back on my feet, and slowly started to skate.

"Hey you're getting better at it already!" He laughed, as he let go of my hand. It sent me off, sliding across the pond.

"Ahh!" I screamed, as I tried to catch my balance. How embarrassing, to be a terrible skater.

But before I fell, Tyler rushed towards me. He was a really good skater, unlike me. He caught me just in time, and lifted me up bridal style.

"Oops. Maybe I'm not so good." I laughed, my face turning red from the cold and the embarrassment. He chuckled, as he skated me back towards safety.

"Maybe we should just stick with going out to eat and movies." He offered, as he started making his way back to the car.

"I didn't say I didn't like it. I love trying new things! Round 2?" I exclaimed, as he turned around with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, round 2. I promise I won't let go"
