CHAPTER 8 [000000000000002222]

The sunrise yet again but you could not see it, snow overcast the skies,falling like wheat into a pot of a baker, conflating with the soil to create flakes. Tessica inlays her head on an open window, gazing at an early winter that came to bath their sorrows. She sighs and darts thoughts in her mind , 'Grandma is safe in heaven' , it just seems like the snowflakes have come on a bullseye moment

Snow had come to cover the convex slopes the hurricane shaped. It's amazing how nature can wrong us but rectify some of her mistakes . Tessica step out of her room, she meets her mother drawing a coffee table to her reach, struggling to keep up holding a mug on her other hand.
'Mother, be careful not to hurt yourself, mother I said be careful - you'll spill that hot drink on yourself' ,she hawled , her mom owning some stability now.
'Tessica , Tessica ... look, I'm not going to hurt myself, I'm never going to leave you daughter' , She gently gets to her , stretching her hand to wipe a stream her eyes started.

She sits for breakfast, then close her eyes to imagine her day in a flashy minute , its something she always does. 'Nice' , she blinks with one eye open, put a smile on her face and finally walk the road not taken.

It was wanted wear with thin ice crystallising as citizens call for more snow. More snow to clear sighs, more snow to heal children's hearts, to excuse the snow as a sign that the dead have went to heaven.

She gets to school after two weeks of grieving, found nothing unchanged except for the snow hiding most of the ground. Wait, she just saw Nicol gets to school at the school gate. The ground freezes, she's startled, her heart fastens, he wants to have a bite of it.
As always, Tessica started shaking, with her feet failing to stand, it's been three weeks, she has to start over building her confidence, to atleast match their last one when they meet and talked , at the funeral, she was stable then .

He gave her his finest smile, drawing his dart to her focus, enabling her to discover something their hearts started. They don't talk about it, hearts are broken at 16, but love in unanticipation can be cherished undiluted, with no constraints, no rules and no commission. You just have to be there to smile lurkingly, hold hands, steal kisses, and then... always be happy.

Otherwise if Nicol came over to tell her how he feels, then the mystery would be over, she won't have 'I wonder why' thoughts, then the courting thing gets boring , diluted- it becomes a priority, not a fun instrument to keep the fire burning.

With the snow falling on the background, you could pretty much take Tessica's startling quake as a sublimational act because of the cold. Tessica draws herself to where Nicol would see her as he turns. Here's what you do to keep courting her , having her full attention.
' You know what differs you from the snow falling today?' , he asks few metres away
' Nicol...', she replies ignoring his question , but he still answer it himself
'You don't fall from heaven to the ground, you rush in my heart fastening my heartbeat, unlike snow you don't make me cold, you jinx physics and I feel neither cold or warm.
The flattered Tessica closes her eyes, rubs her hands on her face, covering her eyes, her mouth, and her nose.

'what's wrong', Nic asks, getting close to her to just inches apart.
She unhides her face once more,certainly showing a brighter side of her, and her lips , with a sudden blush.

'why did you have to hide your face? ' , he asks again, with his left hand curled on her cheek , she likes it .
'You might know more than necessary if I let you share all my expressions' , she replies, Nicol getting his hand off her face. I thought she liked it.
' And your heart?, is it okay with this hide and seek game?' , He asks, now getting his left hand to adjust her messy hair.
' My heart is tamed, it knows what's best to do' , She confidently speaks, as though her introvert's nature is taken away, or she's just bracing herself- her legs are still shaky though.
'So your heart would rather play hide and seek with mine, than to expose itself in the limelight?', He knot her on her heart now, replies running out of her head.
' Okay, Okay! Prince charming, my satisfaction is acquainted for today ,enough courting' , She replies, with a smile bigger than Black Friday's delights.
' Answer my question and I'll be acquainted too',prince charming replies.
' Your question is too big for my divided focus and life to think it through', Tessica mazes now .
'Who divides you and forget to divide your beauty?', John unthreads the maze.
'It has to be a boy who courts me all day, My prince charming', She throws a bombshell, it builds instead of destroying.
' It's never the whole day that I court you ', he replies.
' Ahh, you are so drunk that you can't measure time anymore' , Tessica joys herself, bracing herself.
"What is time when I'm with you? , It's a distraction I don't want to measure', Nicol says, demising the spare that distanced them, to less than an inch.
