Second Chance [Four/Tobias]

Thirty Nine

ᴀᴠʏᴀɴɴᴀ

After Christmas, we plan a lot of sight seeing.

The only time we returned back was to sleep. Needless to say, we were all exhausted.

So, on 30th of December, we plan our last thing on our itinerary.

We drive up a hill and a rent a snow lodge.

The place has five to six snow lodges together and they were huge. So for us lot, one is enough.

After reaching there, I don't think we did much except sleep.

The full day passes with us lazing around. The whole hill was covered with atleast a foot of snow.

And the next day, we plan a new year's party.

George and Matthew visit the other houses and invite them.

After a good day of rest, we are all energised. We work up and down to make it perfect.

Before long it was 10 pm. People piled in from the other houses.

Many by the snack table or by the drinks or posing by the balloons in the center.

"Guys, time to take charge," Christina says. "Let's take responsibility of one section."

"I'm taking food," I grin.

"Drinks." Zeke raises his hand.

After the allotment, I walk to the snack table.

I grab some donuts as I scan the whole party.

A girl comes and joins me.

"Nice party, huh?"

I shrug and grin.

"Where are you from?" She asks.

"Chicago," I answer. "You?"

"I'm from here only," She shrugs.

We stand in silence.

"I should go. See you."

I nod at her. "See you."

I go to the other side to grab a drink, humming the songs as they change.

The drinks are in a far corner.

I just grab some cola, not wanting to get drunk.

Just as I finish it and walk a little away, I bump into someone.

It was Tobias.

He grins at me. "Hi."

I grin back. "Finally."

"What happened to your snack table?" He asks.

I shrug and grin.

"You look good," He says, although we got ready together.

"Thanks. You look nice too," I grin.

I lean against the wall as he shoves his hands in his pocket.

"This place is getting crowded by minute," He says, looking around.

"Yeah. I bumped into atleast three people," I laugh.

"No kidding," He laughs along.

Just then, someone bumps into him from behind as they dance.

"Careful, there," I laugh as I stop him from falling onto me.

Tobias grins at me as our noses brush by.

He looks up and I follow.

"Mistletoe."

He looks back at me, tilting his head a little and moving closer. Christina decorated the place. And she's very sneaky.
