Please, Just One Wish (Jelsa)

Run!

"HEY!"

Jack shouted from the other side of the rink, both of his eyes were glued on the puck that slided between his feet.

"SCORE!", I circled the rink and did a double jump as I realized I make my first goal in ice hockey history. I do not know ice hockey is a piece of cake, no offense though!

"Tsk, show off!", he shrugged and I blew raspberry at him as he rolled his eyes, "Beginners luck", he argued

"Still I win, you lose!", I skated to his direction and stopped gracefully giving him a victory smile and ruffled his cold sweaty hair.

He slapped my hand from his hair and leaned to his hockey stick for support , "Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever"

"Come on, don't pout; It's a fair play", I leaned closer to him and tugged his ear making his blue eyes met mine. Our gaze locked for a split of seconds and suddelnly he blinked and his eyes changed as smirk formed from the corner of his lips and said, "Lets go for round two".

I was startled as his smirk started to give me those butterfly feeling, but I'm not planning to look weak in front of him, "The winner makes the rule, loser"

He groaned, "Ughㅡ okay"

"Take the cones", I ordered him

"For what?"

"I'm not done talking, Jackㅡ make a vertical line with them, and then I'm gonna show you how you play a game", I leaned to the side of the rink as Jack busied himself making a line.

He glared at me and groaned, "You just want to show off"

"Why, yesㅡ yes, I am", I crossed my arms and making my iconic sassy bitch face.

"You know, you don't even look slightly intimidatingㅡ not even a tiny bit, Els", Jack stopped himself from arranging the cone, put the cones down on the ice and lock his gaze to me. He slowly skated towards me.

Shit

"What are you doing?", I asked in my most casual and calm tone

"Approaching you"

"What for?" , I pushed my shoes and slowly glided away from him to the other direction.

Jack stop his shoes and tilted his head as he smiles, "Okay, so this is what's its going to be then", he chuckled and shook his head making his silver hair strands danced.

Fuck, calm down! Calm down!

I took a deep breathe to calm myself down, but it didn't seem helping me in this situation as I forgot how to breathe properly and even worse, blood rushed to my face.

I skated away again, this time to the other side of the rink, making a reasonable huge distance between us, "Stop-", I muttered and trying so hard to maintain my cool.

"You okay?", Jack starred deeply from the other side of the rink, which was actually ridiculous as we were separated more than a feet away but I still feel his eyes on me, analyzing me and how his voice give this strange feeling in my chest.

Not again, Els.

I looked away, trying to hide the fact that I was flushed, and I knew I'd made a face though deep down I still wanted him to stare at me as if he was mine and I'm his. Suddenly he moved, slowly closing the huge gap between us. I had an impulse to stop him, I opened my lips but no words, not even a sound came out, and in that moment I realized that I was scared; fear.

But this fear felt alien to me, a whole new kind that I didn't know it before- I loved the fear. It was the underside of the fear itself that I loved, the boldness of it, like "I'll die if you stop"
