Alex froze for a second, but didn't give me much time to regret my decisions because his arms wrap around my waist, pulling me close to him. My hands find the sides of his face, deepening the kiss. His lips are soft and move with passion and lust with mine. He tightens his grip around me and lifts me from the ground, peppering kisses on my mouth. I smile and I can feel his smile against my lips.

"Julia." He rests his forehead on mine. I can't wipe the smile off my face. Did I really just do that? "What are you doing to me?"

I blush under his stare and the fact that we're standing chest to chest. I wrap my arms around his neck, just wanting to be closer to him. "Look what you're doing to me, Alexander."

"I'm going to ignore my full name and kiss you again." Alex says with a smile before closing the small distance between us and attaching our lips again. I savour the moment and twist some of his shaggy hair in between my fingers near the nape of his neck.

Alex enhances the kiss, moving his head to the side and even sneaking in a little tongue. He's such an incredible kisser. Add that to all the other things that I love about him.

"Okay, stop, stop," Alex mumbles, taking a tiny step back. "We're gonna stand here all night making out if we don't."

"I wouldn't mind that," I say softly, ducking my head down and taking his hand in mine.

"We'll save that for another time, Jules." He smirks, leading me towards the building near the rink. I feel giddy because of what just happened. I touch my lips lightly with my free hand, still not fully comprehending the last 5 minutes.

"So before you so rudely interrupted me, I was going to ask what you thought of today." Alex teases and I hit his arm.

"It was great. I'll never forget about it. Ever." I squeeze his hand. He looks at our hands and smiles.

"Good. Because no one will ever beat what I did today, right?"

"No one." I confirm for him. He smiles even wider and then opens the door for me like a true gentleman.

The inside is small and cozy, with Christmas decorations all over the walls. People are sitting on benches off to the side, strapping ice skates to their feet. Alex pulls us into the line where I'm guessing we pick up the skates.

"I've never actually gone ice skating before." I tell Alex, grabbing his upper arm.

"Then, I'll have to teach you." He smiled down at me and we moved up in line. The place wasn't very busy, but there was quite a few people in line.

"I'm gonna fall on my butt or something." I say, already embarrassed at the idea of doing that in public.

"Aw, Jules, I won't let you fall." He says and presses his lips to my forehead. I blush for the millionth time today. I've never been one for PDA, but if it's with Alex, I won't complain.

Alex sighs as we step forward again. "I'm so happy today worked out."

"Did you think it wouldn't?"

"We've been friends for so long and I wasn't sure if your feelings went any deeper than that." I mentally scoff when he says this. My feelings are pretty deep, I would say. "But, you clearly confirmed that when we tongue battled just a few minutes ago."

I scrunch up my nose. "Please do not call it a 'tongue battle'."

He laughs. "Fine, but only because you're so cute."
