Tell me what u think :)
"So um how do we do this?" Ellen asked, staring down at the slope beneath her.
"Well, you can either go straight ahead or zigzag" answered Patrick. "I recommend the first option, you can just close your eyes, it's fun and it goes faster" he joked, noticing her anxious face.
"Haha very funny" she answered, trying to remain calm but internally freaking out.
"Guys, I think you should go ahead, I need to teach Ellie the basics.. We'll meet you in an hour at the bottom?"
"Sure dad"
"Yep"
"Ok daddy!"
"See you there my snowman" answered Jill, quickly following her children.
"How am I supposed to umm not fall?"
"I have a feeling this is gonna be fun" he winked at her.
"Just teach me how to ski Patrick! Ugh I f*cking lost my-"
"I can teach you allright..." He whispered in her ear, interrupting her midsentence. His warm breath tickled her skin, causing her to shiver. Ellen gasped as she felt his body press up against her back and his head rest on her shoulder. He breathed in her smell and pressed his lips against her neck. He suddenly stopped moving and closed his eyes to fully enjoy the moment.
"Patrick.. What.." She stammered.
I'm shivering because I'm freezing. Why would anyone come out here for fun?! It's so cold! And he's freezing too, that's why he's so close to me. We're like penguins. We're keeping each other warm. No one blames a penguin for being pressed up to another penguin's husband! It's just self protection against the cold or something!
"The view's beautiful" she blurted, staring straight ahead, not daring look into his blue eyes barely inches away from her green ones.
"Mmmm..." He managed to answer, his lips still pressed against her skin.
"So seriously, how do I get down this slope without killing myself in the process? Unless you wanna stay here all day of course and not move an inch." She giggled nervously.
Please choose the second option... Please choose the second option...
Can I choose the second option? She smells so good.. Oh, I wish we could stay here all day..
"Right.. well.. Just make sure your skis never touch each other, keep them parallel. Yes like that, its perfect" he explained, wrapping his arm around her from behind and taking her hands into his.
"And then you use those sticks to keep your balance ok? Try to keep them in front of you" Patrick said as he showed her the movement by lifting her hands and placing them in front.
"Just squeeze my hand really tight, and we'll zigzag slowly together. And don't worry, that cute little helmet is gonna protect that gorgeous head of yours" he laughed.
"Oh shut up asshole! It's the only color they had left... I didn't ASK for the pink one" she pouted.
"You look beautiful" he whispered, kissing her cheek before slowly sliding down the hill, Ellen tugging onto his hand at his side.
"You're doing great!" He shouted flashing her a huge grin.
"Yeah right, Mr I-was-winning-ski-championships-when-I-12-years-old" she laughed, squeezing his hand. Not out of fear, but because she could. For once she had an excuse to hold his hand and it felt damn good not to be worried about what people might think.
"How do you like skiing?" Asked Ellen to the little boy sitting across from her. They were both trying to warm up next to the restaurant's fireplace. The others had already left to hit the slopes but Darby was a rather slow eater and Ellen had offered to stay with him until he was done.
"It's good.." He answered chewing down on his meat with his little mouth.
"Only good? You seemed to be having lots of fun earlier!" She smiled at him. He looked so much like his father; his nose, his cheeks, the twinkle in his eye whenever he laughed..
"I'm a bit scared... But Sully says it's stupid to be scared cuz I won't hurt me but.."
"Oh.. But it's okay to be scared Darby, everybody's scared at some point!" She reassured him, pulling him onto her lap and hugging him tight as she realized he was on the verge of tears.
"In fact I'm super duper scared that's why I ask your daddy to ski with me!" She smiled at him, stroking his hair back and off his face.
"But Sullivan's not scared.. and mommy will laugh at me if I tell her.."
"Your mom wouldn't laugh at you! But you can ask your daddy to ski with you, he'd be so happy to help you out!" She reassured him with a smile.
"But he's helping you.. And I'd still be scared.."
"Oh but I can manage, don't worry about me kiddo. And you know" she told him, turning him around so his tiny face looked straight up at her,
"when you're skiing with your daddy, you feel safe. It's like nothing bad could ever happen to you.. He holds you in his strong arms and he's got these superpowers that keep you completely safe. He's really special your dad, and he loves you so much. There's nothing that could make him happier than to ski with his little boy."
"You sure Ellie?" He asked with worried eyes.
"I'm sure, she hugged him tight, let's go find him?
"Yep" he answered, back on his feet, ready to go find his new superhero dad.
hope you liked it :) reviews are more than welcome ;) enjoy your day
