Betty sat next to Gio in Geography and stared out the window. There was snow falling heavily. It was the last day of term and she couldn't believe they actually had to work. She saw Gio working out of the corner of her eye and smiled. She liked just sitting beside him and watching him.

He looked up and saw Betty looking at him. "Hey, when we go home you want to play in the snow? We can build snowmen and ladies," he said looking at her. He knew it was what she wanted to hear. He could tell by the look in her eyes. "Yea. Let's totally do that," she exclaimed and looked at Gio with eyes full of love.

School went by really quickly and Betty and Gio were walking home in the snow. Betty skipped away from Gio and tripped over face first into the snow. "Betty!" Gio exclaimed running after her. She slowly sat up and pushed her glasses up her nose and started laughing. Gio's face relaxed and he laughed with her. Betty picked up some snow and through it into his face. He retaliated and threw some snow at Betty. The collapsed into a fit of giggles, snow covering their bodies from head to foot.

Gio got up and helped Betty to her feet. As she brushed the snow off of herself, Gio picked up her school stuff and shook the snow off of himself. The snow fell heavily around them. Gio pulled Betty into an embrace and kissed her gently on the nose. "Wow, look at that," Betty said pointing to the landscape around them. The trees were covered in snow and there were no footprints in the freshly laid snow. Betty's eyes glazed over as she looked out over the beautiful scenery. "Stand there," Gio said running slightly backwards. He took out a camera and took a picture of her.

"Come on," he said playfully throwing a snowball at her. She dodged and smirked at him. "Bring it on," Betty exclaimed as she threw a handful of snow in Gio's direction. Ducking behind a tree, Gio smiled as some snow flew past his head. "You missed," he shouted playfully coming out from behind the tree. He couldn't see Betty anywhere as he looked around at the lonely scenery.

"Boo," she shouted as she jumped on his back and pushed him to the floor. He tumbled over and landed on his back in the deep snow. "B…" he said breathily. She looked down at him biting her lips and smiled as she said, "Yeah?" She threw some more snow on top of him before he could reply and ran away. Gio got up, slightly shocked after what had just happened. Had she been straddling him?

Gio ran after Betty, tripping over the snow and his own feet. Finally, he caught up with her and smiled as he grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her nearer. "You are a tease," he whispered hoarsely in her ear. She turned around and whispered back, "Would you want me any other way?" Her words had surprised him. Did she realise she had just said, "Want me"? All of a sudden his thoughts were thrown away as something cold slid down his back. "Bettttttttttttty!" he shouted as he took off after her again, shaking the snow from his back.

Betty was stood beside the lane to her house waiting for Gio. "G, you took your time," she said looking at her watch. He took her in his arms and replied, "Well you kinda left me feeling a little stiff, if you catch my drift," as he winked. Betty blushed as she cuddled up closer to him. "I'm sorry," she said, smiling at her achievement. "It's okay, just stop being such a tease, Miss Suarez, or else," he replied with a cocky grin. She smiled as they walked together hand in hand towards her house. Sooner or later she would give in to the desire that built up inside her. They had been going out for nearly a year and a half now and she was really relaxed with him. She was ready and after that conversation, she was sure Gio was too. The Christmas holidays were sure going to be a fun experience and Betty couldn't wait for that cosy night to arrive.
