Dancing in the Dark Chapter 29

Iggy POV

I woke up the next morning with a crick in my neck. I sat up and started rubbing it with my hand, but it wasn't helping much. Suddenly I felt a pair of delicate hands on my neck.

"Let me help you with that, I read a book on how to do it right." And Ella's palms pushed down on my neck. Then she moved her fingers down to my shoulders. It felt great and I didn't want it to stop, but it did. "You know, I could do this better if you took your shirt off." Ella said.

"You just can't help yourself, can you?" I joked as I took it off.

"No, I don't think I can." She joked back as she started rubbing my shoulders again.

"Oh, yeah, right there. That hits the spot." It was like she knew right were to put her hands. After a while one of her hands brushed against my stomach and I tried to stifle a laugh. I don't think it worked.

"Iggy," Ella sounded amused, "are you ticklish?"

"What? Me ticklish. No." I said unconvincingly.

"So, say if I did this," she said moving her hands to my stomach, "nothing would happen?"

"No." I said a smile crossing my face.

"Even if I do this?" And she started moving her fingers back and forth. I tried, I really did, but I burst out laughing. Luckily, no one else was in the room. I was so weak from laughing that Ella had gotten me on my back and she was still tickling me. Then I had an idea. I rolled over so that I was the one on top and made it so Ella couldn't wiggle away.

"Well, let's see how you like it." I said as I put my hands on her stomach and started tickling her. She started laughing so much. It sounded like a symphony orchestra to my ears. Ella must have had enough after a while so she rolled over so neither of us were on top of the other and we were face to face.

"I guess we're both really ticklish." Ella said.

"Yeah, I guess so, but that was fun." I said out of breath.

"We should do that again sometime."

"Definitely, and thanks for the massage too."

"You're welcome." Ella said and she gave me a kiss.

We just stayed there for a few minutes, me stroking Ella's hair and her touching my wings. Then Max and Fang came in the room.

"Mom says we're leaving for the mountain in a half an hour. You two might want to get some breakfast. And Iggy, get a shirt on."

Ella POV

Today was the day we were going to learn how to snowboard. I was really excited and I think Iggy was too. We broke off from the others and signed up for a lesson. There weren't many people on the mountain and we were the only ones who had signed up for lessons. Our instructor was a guy about our age. He was okay looking, but Iggy is hotter than him, and probably nicer than him too. I had a feeling that that him and Iggy weren't going to get along though.

"Looks like you two are the only ones today. My name is Ben and I'll be your instructor." He sounded really smug. He held out his hand to shake and I took it. Then he did that thing where the guy kisses your hand. I wouldn't mind if Iggy did it as like a joke or something but this guy needed to back off.

"Well, my name is Ella , and this is my boyfriend Iggy." I stressed the boyfriend part by standing closer to Iggy. Ben held his hand out to shake Iggy's hand, and I quickly put Iggy's hand in his. "He's blind." I added.

"You're blind and you want snowboarding lessons?" He asked with an air of superiority.

"I've been in a submarine, swam with sharks off the coast of Hawaii, and went on an expedition to the Antarctic. I think I can do this." Iggy answered.

"Fine, fine, whatever you say man."

Oh, boy what a time we had. The lesson only took about an hour but it seemed like four. That Ben guy would hit on me whenever Iggy wasn't around. The guy couldn't take a hint. I must have given Iggy a dozen kisses on his cheek and hugged him more than that. And he was using the cheesiest pick-up lines. Our time was almost up and Iggy was stopped towards the middle of the mountain. I was about to board down to him when Ben stopped me.

"I've had a great time with you. I hope we can do this again soon." And he moved his head closer and he tried to kiss me. He had closed his eyes though, so I gave him a solid right hook straight to his jaw. I think I might have knocked him unconscious. Max would have been so proud. Anyway after I socked him I started boarding down the mountain. I reached my arms out and yelled to Iggy.

"Grab my hands. I'm to your left." And amazingly he caught my hands on the fly and we started going down the mountain side by side. "We need to get out of here fast."

"Why?"

"I knocked that jerk unconscious because he tried to kiss me."

"That's my girl." He said smiling. "If you didn't, I think I might have anyways."

About that time I saw a big rock in the way down a few hundred feet.

"Iggy, we need to turn left in a few seconds."

"Okay." He said. The rock was coming up fast and I was about to say when to turn when Iggy asked, "Wait, my left or yours?"

I didn't have enough time to even ask, "What?" before we hit it and started flying through the air, and not in the good way.
