Merrywood Park

Ice Skating Rink

Saturday- 2:41 P.M.

As Massie and Derrington got out of the car, the cold frigid air greeted them once again. Almost instantly, Massie started shivering again.

"Aww, you poor thing." Derrington said. "Do you want my jacket?"

"No th-thanks." Massie managed to say.

"You sure?" Derrington said, looking at Massie.

"I'm sure." Massie smiled at him. "Thanks though."

This was what Massie loved the most about Derrington. He was always so caring and kind to her.

"No problem." Derrington said, smiling back at Massie. "I'm sure once you start skating, you won't be cold."

"I hope so." Massie said.

Massie and Derrington made their way to the little shop that was set up right next to the ice skating rink.

"Hi, two pairs of skate, please." Derrington told the man at the store.

"What size?" the man asked them.

"Size 9 and-" Derrington said, turning around to face Massie.

"And size 7." Massie said, filling in the blank.

"Ok." The man went to the back and returned with two pairs of skates.

"Thanks." Derrington said, taking the skates from the man. "How much will that be?"

"It's ten dollars for an hour." The man said. "So it'll be twenty dollars in total."

"Ok." Derrington said, taking out two ten-dollar bills from his pockets and giving it to the man.

"Oh, I totally forgot my money." Massie exclaimed, "Do you want me to pay you back next time?"

"No," Derrington shook his head. "don't worry about it."

Massie smiled and reached up and gave Derrington a big kiss. "Thanks, you're the best."

This was another thing that Massie loved about Derrington. He was always the gentleman, buying things for Massie and taking her to awesome places.

Massie strapped on her skates and stood up wobbly. "Whoa, this is kinda hard."

Derrington stood up too and took Massie's hands. "Once you get used to it, it's not hard at all."

"You're such a know-it-all." Massie teased. "Have you been skating before?"

"Yeah, I have." Derrington said. "It's so much fun."

They slowly made their way to the ice rink.

The second Massie set her feet onto the ice, she slipped and landed on the ice with a loud thud.

"Ow!" Massie exclaimed, trying to get up. She wasn't having a lot of success getting up, because her hands and knees kept slipping on the ice.

Derrington rushed over and helped Massie up.

"That hurt like hell." Massie complained, rubbing her butt.

Derrington laughed, "Don't worry. You'll learn how to skate soon."

Derrington took Massie's hands and led her around the rink.

"Just push your feet in front of you, one by one." Derrington told Massie, as she started to get the hang of it.

"You got it!" Derrington exclaimed. He then let go of Massie's hands to see if she could skate all by herself.

Apparently, she couldn't, because right after Derrington let go, Massie's feet wobbled and collapsed. She fell onto the ice again.

Derrington chuckled. "Or not."

Massie pouted playfully. "Stop teasing me and help me up." She held up her arms to Derrington.

Derrington laughed and took Massie's arms and pulled her up.

"So, what are you doing for Christmas?" Massie asked casually, holding onto the edge, wondering how Derrington would respond.

"I don't know, exactly." Derrrington answered.

Yes, you do! You have to take me out somewhere special! Massie screamed silently.

"So, what you're saying is that you don't have any plans?" Massie asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." Derrington sighed.

"Maybe you should do something special." Massie suggested slyly. She was going to give hints daily to Derrington to make him into doing something special for her.

"Like what?" Derrington asked, looking confused.

Massie sighed, a bit exasperated now. "I don't know. You have to come up with something."

Derrington nodded. "Maybe."

Massie's heart sank. Maybe? She was hoping for a yes.

"Come on, let's keep on skating." Derrington said, taking Massie's hands and leading her to the center of the ice skating rink.

Massie let Derrington pull her to the center, but for the rest of the remaining time, Massie skated without any energy.

Derrington was completely oblivious to Massie's disappointment.

Not wanting to be too close to Derrington anymore, Massie decided to try to skate by herself-without Derrington's help. After what Derrington had said to her, and him not getting her clue, Massie was very sad.

Massie pushed off and started to skate. She was doing pretty well and that cheered up Massie a bit.

Suddenly, Massie felt her right foot starting to wobble and shake, and before she could do anything, her foot twisted and gave out beneath her. Massie collapsed onto the ice hard. She yelped out in pain.

Hearing Massie scream, Derrington rushed over to see what was wrong.

"Massie, what's wrong?" Derrington asked.

"I think I broke my ankle." Massie grimaced painfully.

"What?" Derrington said, looking a bit scared.

"Yeah, I was skating, and then suddenly, I fell down." Massie told him. "And I guess my ankle got crushed."

"Here, I'm going to take you to the hospital." Derrington said, lifting Massie up.

There was nothing Massie could do right now, she didn't really want to have anything to do with Derrington right now, but that wasn't a choice for her. She was stuck at an ice skating rink with a broken ankle. If Derrington didn't help her, who would?

Massie winced as she got up and put a bit of pressure on her right foot to test if it was ok.

"Can you walk at all?" Derrington asked her.

Massie shook her head. "I don't think so."

"Ok." Derrington picked Massie up into his arms and carried her out of the ice skating rink, not even slipping once.

Derrington gently set her down onto the bench, and delicately took off her ice skates.

Massie immediately softened up a bit. Derrington was being so kind to her while she was treating him like trash.

Derrington took off his own skates and then returned his and Massie's skates to the shop. When he returned, Derrington put on his shoes.

"Here," Derrington said, taking Massie's Uggs. "hold this."

Massie took her Uggs and held it in her arms.

Derrington picked Massie up again and carried her to the front of the park and called John to pick them up.

Five minutes later, John arrived at the park.

Derrington gently put Massie inside the car and then got in.

"What happened to you, Miss Block?" John asked, seeing Massie's discomfort.

"I kinda like broke my ankle." Massie answered grimly.

"Yeah, so we need to take her to the hospital." Derrington said.

"Ok, no problem." John said and pulled out of the park and onto the road.

"Don't worry, Massie." Derrington assured her. "We'll be there in no time."

Massie smiled at him. "Thanks, you're so kind and sweet."

Derrington kissed Massie and said, "I know."

Massie laughed and lightly smacked Derrington on the shoulder.

To try to avoid the pain, Massie decided to fall asleep. Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Massie was fast asleep and she didn't feel any pain at all.
