Once they stop laughing, they embrace each other and Ben…
"Gwen, it's not nice to hit your boyfriend." He says while trying to contain his laughter.
"It's not nice to scare your girlfriend either." She says.
They just sit there for a minute and Gwen…
"Ben, I love you." She says.
"I know." He says and starts to laugh. Gwen hits him again.
"Gwen, I'm not a punching bag, ok." He says.
"I know." She says mocking the way he said it earlier.
They continue the 15 miles down the winding, snow-covered dirt road. Gwen rests her head on Ben's shoulder and falls asleep as Ben drives slowly so they don't drive off of the road. The snow isn't as deep on the road because there are a lot of pine trees and they cover the road pretty well and act as a kind of barrier. After an hour, Ben finally comes to the driveway for the cabin… The cabin is nestled in a clearing up in the mountains.
Ben drives up the driveway and stops the truck.
"Wake up sleepy head, were here" Ben says into her ear and strokes her long red hair. Gwen lifts her head off of Ben's shoulder and rubs her eyes.
"Hmmm?" She asks as she yawns…
"We're here." He says again to her.
Gwen is still drowsy from just waking up. Ben gets out of the truck and opens the passenger door for Gwen. Ben offers her a hand as she gets out of the truck. She takes his hand and they walk over to the front door of the cabin.
Once inside, Ben goes over to the fireplace and proceeds to get a fire going. Gwen goes and starts to bring their things inside…
"Gwen, leave those there, I'll get them when I finish with the fire."
"Ben. I'm fine, really." She responds.
"Ok…" he responds because she looks a little annoyed and finds it utterly useless to convince her to let things be.
After Ben gets a rolling fire going, he proceeds to help Gwen bring in the rest of their things. He's pretty happy at the moment because he's alone with his girlfriend and she's feeling a million times better. He loves seeing a smile on her face, which she has now because she's sitting in front of the warm fire.
When Ben is done putting their things away, he goes over to the couch and slides over the back of the couch next to Gwen and wraps his arms around her. They both lay down and Gwen rolls over so she's now facing Ben and her back is to the fire…
"Ben, this is really nice."
"Not as nice as you though." Ben responds…
"Aw, thanks Ben." Gwen starts to blush a little bit, but it is hardly noticeable and Ben doesn't notice.
Gwen and Ben's faces move closer together and they passionately kiss each other. They are so lost in the moment; they don't realize that the power has gone out. When they finally break the kiss, Gwen asks…
"Ben, why are the lights off?"
"I don't know, let me check." He responds and gets up from the couch.
He goes over to the circuit breaker and checks… He messes with the switches and nothing happens. He then goes and looks outside and sees that there's about 2 inches of ice covering everything.
He comes back inside of the cabin and walks back to the couch…
"Gwen, we have a major problem."
"What is it, Ben?" she asks…
"The snow has turned into freezing rain and has covered everything with about 2 inches of ice. Basically, were stuck here until the ice sort of melts because I can't even drive in this stuff, no traction at all."
Ben pauses.
"It's still coming down, so we could be stuck up here for a while."
"As long as we have each other, we'll be fine." Gwen says…
They both embrace each other and lay there in front of the fire enjoying their alone time together.
