Till Disaster Struck {COMPLETED}

Chapter 23: Snow Day!

My arm was all healed I just need to be cautious with certain activities. Alton and my friends nagged me till I agreed to go back to therapy for my condition and it was actually helping me this time. The doctors say that my mental state looks better then it was before so I guess that's a good thing. I even managed to get a job as a secretary in the bank so that's better then what I had.

I was driving home from work late one tonight and when I got home I as surprised to see a familiar orange Lamborghini parked in the front.

I talk to Alton a lot and he took me to mini golf for our first date and I enjoyed watching him play. He was terrible at it and he would get so frustrated whenever I finished before him. We haven't really talked about what we are to each other now but I like to think we're dating now.

I don't even bother trying to unlock my door knowing Alton was inside. I opened up and saw Alton passed out on the couch. I walk up to him slowly as I drop my bag on a chair. "Alton, what are you doing here?" I asked as I shook him awake. He opened his eyes and smiled at me sleepily.

"Why wouldn't I be here? It's Christmas and I'm going to spend the rest of the day with you." He said. He stood up and wrapped me in a hug.

"That's great but it's not Christmas yet." He looked down to me and scuffed.

"Yes it is." He pulled his phone out of his pocket and showed me the date. "See." He was right. I face palm myself and groan.

"I did this last year too! My mom called me and I had no idea what she was talking about. I'm a ditz." I said frustrated with myself.

"No, you're not. You just work hard and you don't ever let yourself have a break." I shrugged and moved into the kitchen. "So, I take it you don't have any plans for tonight." I sigh as I open up the fridge looking for something to eat quickly.

"You would be correct. I just can't believe I forgot." I stuffed a piece of bread into my mouth and I felt Alton rap his arms around me.

"Well, I have some plans for us if you want to come?" I turn around with a slice of bread sticking out of my mouth and I nodded. He chuckled as he grabbed a hold of my hand and lead my out the door.

"Right now?" I asked with bread in my mouth.

"Yes right now. I want to get there before the sun goes down completely." While his back was turned away I shoved the rest of the bread in my mouth and he took me to his car.

"Where are we going?" I asked when we started to drive off.

"I'm taking you on a date." He said with a smile and I sighed as my cheeks turned red.

"You should have told me I would have looked better." I said and he chuckled.

"You already look so beautiful." I looked out his window as I felt my whole face burn. He knew I would react like that. He stopped at a red light and I heard him shift in his set. I turned and I saw his body turned to face me. "You really do by the way." I roll my eyes and look at the dash. "Don't roll your eyes at me! I'm telling the truth!" I burn red and smile to myself. "Besides where we're going no one will care what you look like."

"So we're going to Walmart?" I asked and he laughed.

"No," He started driving again and it was silent for a while. As we drove off I noticed that we were heading away from town. In fact the next closest town was twenty miles out. I had no idea where we were going and I surprisingly felt excited to see what was going to happen. I like being around Alton he makes me feel free from all my problems and I forget all the unfortunate things that have happened to me.

I stared over to him as he drove and I smiled. I was thinking back to when he dropped me off after our first date. He was so hopeful to hear my answer to see if I was going to be his girlfriend or not. And the line I told him as I left him outside my door. "I think I need another date to decide." I laugh to myself and I just love remembering the dumbfounded look on his face when I said that. I already knew my answer but he's got to work for it!

"What are you smiling about?" He asked and I shook myself out of my thoughts.

"I was just thinking about some happy past memories."

"Well, we're here." He said and I looked out the window.

"Where is here?" I asked. We were sitting in a field in the middle of nowhere. There was a thick layer of snow and I think my mind caught on to what we were going to do.

"Snow ball fight." He said with a smirk as he got out of the car.

"I'm not wearing the right jacket for this!" I said as I stood from the car.

"Don't worry I already packed your jacket." He said. I watched as he came to stand in front of me so he could place my jacket on me. I let him put it on me and he flipped the hood up onto my head. He also placed some gloves on my hands "There you go!" He said and poked my already cold nose. He grabbed my hand and led me into the snowy area.

"And what makes you think I'll participate in this?" He turned and smiled to me.

"Just try not to be a stick in the mud." He said and I laughed as I looked away.

"I thought you liked that about me." He let go of my hand as he began walking backwards away from me.

"Most of the time." My jaw dropped and I scooped up some snow and threw at him. He it wasn't packed tight together and it just broke. "Oh come on you can do better!" He challenged and I saw what he was doing now. He was edging me on knowing I would react like this.

I took my time packing the snow into a ball and he stood in front of me like a target. I chucked it with all the power that arm had. I hit him in the nose. His jaw dropped and I confidently shrugged.

"Game on!" He yelled and he grabbed some snow. I ran away from his shot and I heard him chasing me from behind. I was a slow runner as it was and the snow wasn't helping me. I grabbed some snow when I could and I threw it every chance I got. I got hit in the back a couple times and we just played like little kids in the snow. Alton caught me and he wrapped his arms around me. We both lost our balance and we rolled to the ground laughing. I laid underneath him and I stared into his eyes.

"I win." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"No, I think I actually win this time." He looked to me confused as I propped myself up on my good arm.

"Oh yeah, how?" He asked and I chuckled knowing exactly what to do to make him all flustered like I always am around him. I grab his jacket and pulled him into a kiss. I could tell he was surprised but my action I'm not exactly the kind of person to do this. He kissed me back anyways and he placed a hand on my back. I felt passion from him and I smirked as I thought of my next plan of action. I pulled back and smiled. He looked shocked and I saw his cheeks turn red.

"I told you I won." He's jaw dropped as he realized how I had used the situation. He smiled and stood with a hand out to help me up. I took it happily as I laughed to myself. I looked up at him and I saw him laughing with me.  He cupped my head in his hands and kissed me passionately and I was more than happy to let this happen. He pulled back and we both smiled.

"So I'm going to assume that was your answer?" He questioned and I smiled.

"Alton, I would love to be your girlfriend." His smile grew wide and he kissed me again. I was so happy to have him to myself! Even through all my flaws he still felt this way about me. Not only that but I know he loves even my flaws which made me smile more. He's everything that I want and I have it, finally!
