#13 - Snow time

You look out your window and a thick blanket of pure white snow covers the ground. Squealing, you phone your best mate and ask her if she wants to go down to the park. She agrees so you get dressed and go to the door. The white is almost blinding, and the snow comes over your ankles. You find your way carefully down the path and across the road to the park. Your mate is already there along with lots of other people. You run over to her, but stop short when you see him. It the guy you have a mad crush on. And. He. Is. Here!

Your mate sees what your looking at and laughs, she looks back to you and with a menacing grin, "snowball fight!" she announces. "Teams of two!"

You and your bestie grab handfuls of cold, fluffy snow and aim at the others. As you aim at one of the others, a fat snowball hits you hard in the face and its so unexpected, that you fall over onto your back. Your mate laughs and helps you up.

"He shot it." she tells you looking at him. But then she spots Jed and runs over to him to give him a hug, and then to throw the hidden snowball at him.

Another snowball hits you square in the neck and the cold drips down into your clothes. Right. That's it. You grab some snow and walk over to him. "Hi" you say. and then shove your hand into his face and he gets covered in snow, and it drips slowly off his face. "okay then." he says and wipes the snow off his face, he is about to get some snow but you already have some. You are about to take aim, "you wouldn't do that really?" you pause for a second, but that's enough. He throws the snow at you and you fall backwards, you go to grab him, but miss. He tries to reach out to grab you, but misses. He loses his balance and falls on top of you. You blush violently, and he grins. "you have snow in your eyelashes" he says quietly. You can't believe that he is so close that he can see that. You go to wipe it away, but he stops you. "No, it's pretty, and so are you, your beautiful. He leans in and kisses you, his lips are cool, yet warm, and you can hear people cheering you and whistling, but you ignore it. Nothing is going to disrupt your moment of bliss. Too soon he pulls away to catch his breath and he helps you up and holds onto you the rest of the day. You swapped from your best mates team to his, and stopped playing, because you were rubbish as you were smitten and he wouldn't let go off you. But your bestie didn't mind as she teamed up with Jed and they were pelting everyone with fat balls of fluffy snow.

It truly was going to be a magical Christmas.
