Chapter 4
~1 Month Later~
Jack and I have been together for a little over a month. We've had so many fun adventures in that short time. Whether it be playing with Jamie and Sophie or pulling pranks on innocent bystanders. Today, Jack had told me that he had a surprise for me. I slipped on my light blue jeans with my 'I'm Hot Your Cold' t-shirt. I grabbed my favorite coat and slipped on my white snow boots and headed to the tree house.
"Jack! I'm coming up!" I shouted before climbing the ladder. As I was nearing the top, I heard some loud crashes and cursing. "Jack?" I said as I entered.
"Oh! ! Uh, sorry, I was trying to clean up," he said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.
"You? Jack Frost? The Guardian of Fun? Cleaning?" I said with disbelief. He looked at me, glaring playfully, "I can be serious when I want to be."
"So you said you had a surprise for me?" I asked innocently.
" , close your eyes," he tells me. I close them and hear him fumbling around with something. Then I feel his cool hands put something cold around my neck. "Ok. You can open them now," he says. As I open my eyes I look at my neck and gasp. Jack had placed a snowflake with an ice blue gem in the center on a silver chain around my neck. I touched the snowflake but pulled my hand away quickly when I realized it was made of ice.
"Don't worry. It will never melt. It's made of ice that only forms at the North Pole. I'm surprised I was able to get it past the Yetis." Jack says as he looks at me. 'Yetis? Oh well, I'll have him explain later,' I thought. As he continued to ramble,I placed my finger to his lips, quieting him. He looked at me questioningly, but before he could ask I kissed him. I felt as if time could go on forever, never wanting this moment to end, but we both had to stop for air.
"Wow," Jack said looking at me with amazement.
"Wow yourself, ice boy," as I hugged him, "thank you Jack. It's beautiful." As I looked down at the necklace the gem began to glow. I look at it, puzzled then looked at Jack questioningly.
"This gem holds some of my power as a winter guardian. As long as you believe in me it will glow. But the stronger your love for me, the stronger the glow will be," he said before I could ask. I looked at him in pure wonderment, thinking, 'Why didn't I believe in him sooner?'
"Jack," I say as I take his hand in mine, "I will never stop believing or loving you. Meeting you, Jack Frost, was the best thing that ever happened to me." He smiles and embraces me again; I let his cool touch calm my frenzying heart.
