Twenty

"What do you think Sissi, you still have faith in the younger generation?" Odd asked as his goofy smile peered inside the barred gate of Kadic Academy.

I rolled my eyes playfully. "I don't know about you, but I still am the younger generation."

He turned to look at me as that typical laugh filled his throat.

"No way around it baby, once you hit twenty you're starting down the road to old school."

Ignoring his ridiculous statement, I crossed my arms tighter as a frown found it's way to my face. "Aren't you cold Odd, this snow is getting deeper by the second?"

He reached to brush the few collecting snowflakes from his blonde hair as another grin overcame him. "No, are you?"

I nodded. "Yes to say the least, it must be close to twenty degrees out here!"

He reached for my hand as he chuckled to himself. "Okay, okay, then let's go. After all, I'd sure hate for you to start giving me the cold shoulder!"

Cringing from more then the temperature, I glanced a playfully cross look over at him.

"That's just horrible..."

He smiled winder at me as his tone went teasing. "Yeah I know, but hey it's the best I've got for now! I mean I think my brain is rusting from all this time I've spent as a married guy!"

I raised an annoyed eyebrow as I debated pulling my hand away just so he didn't get too comfortable making statements like that.

"All this time? You've got to be kidding me?! It's only been-"

Odd stopped in his tracks before he turned to slowly caress the side of my icy cheek.

"Twenty days to be exact..."

Watching his blue eyes soften, I felt that familiar feeling sparkle inside of me, as a rush of heat shot to my face. I knew he deserved me to be mad at him, but I just couldn't...

"See," he said as he began to laugh gently. "I helped to warm you up."

Stumbling for my composure I peered toward the snow cover sidewalk. But having all I could stand of his confident chuckles, I shot my gaze back up at him as a slight smile slipped onto my face.

"That save may work now, but I wouldn't try it in twenty years Odd Della Robbia!"

He smiled again as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and started walking.

"Oh I don't know Sissi...I think twenty years sounds just about right..."
