Hot Kiss in the Snow

BECCA POV

For some really weird reason, I add more blush on my cheek than I would have. My hair is bunched up in an almost tight knot. I'm wearing a black dress with a fur jacket. It's not a ball or a party but Bailey said to dress nice. She's been to their diner before, and I haven't.

Reluctantly, I pick one of my best set of pearl eatings to go with my dressing. I don't wear a necklace because I didn't bring any, but I wish I did.

There's a knock on my door so I skip to open it.

"You look good sunshine" Bailey praises with a smirk and I smile at her, locking up behind me. I'm enjoying this little vacation so far, except for the part where Jacob just keeps showing up and acting like a saint. I swear if I see him today again, I'll peel all my hairs off.

"Where's Kai and Colton?"

"Already at the diner"

"You guys left before me?" I gasp.

"Nope. Colton couldn't handle us being ladies and wasting so much time so he left with Kai" she snickered.

"Well his problem" I sigh and Bailey nudges my shoulder.

"I'm starved" She sighs, her hands rubbing her tummy.

"You would be. You're carrying little Colton in there" I huff, making us both chuckle. We take several steps to get to the diner, in which we make small talks.

"So what's up with you showing up with Jacob today at the airport?" She asked and I tell her everything right from when I saw him at the counter yesterday. She's Listening in awe, with opened mouth.

"Wow.. he's trying hard to get you back "

"No. I think he's trying to piss me off because we are never getting back together" I say and play the line of Taylor Swift's song where she sings we are never getting back together in my head.

Bailey snaps her hand in front of me

"You zoned out. We're here"

We both walk into the diner and I quickly spot Kai tossing around the table napkins and Colton trying to keep her calm. I also notice a tall figure sitting at the table, a smile on his face as he watched Colton and Kai.

"What is Jacob doing here?" I quickly ask Bailey.

"I invited him"

Sparks go in my head. "What?!"

"Relax. It's not like he'd bite. I just wanna catch up"

"Yeah right." I huff and glare at the man again. He's in a blue shirt, not fully buttoned but tucked in, his hair is a bit messy, and damn he's hot. "You just had to invite him did ya?" I grumble to Bailey and she winked at me.

The men greet us by standing and Jacob even goes as far as pulling my chair out for me. I send him a small smile before sitting down and he sits too.

We order our food and I don't hold back on eating because I'm starved. Jacob is staring at me amused and I can see a devilish smirk on his lips.

"So Jacob what's up with you?" Bailey asks him. "I heard you opened your own tech company and you've produced a lot of games yeah?"

"Something like that" He replies to her, his fingers twirling around his fork and I find myself staring at them.

"That's cool," Bailey says and then stops Kai from eating broccoli "you're allergic," she tells her.

"Yeah... it's cool sitting around playing video games all day" I Sass and Jacob smile at me. Can he stop it already? It's getting creepy and maybe turning you on bitch. What? Hell no!

"No, I don't sit around playing games all day. Though that'd be fun. I also run other businesses" he counters me.

"Don't mind Becca, Jacob" Bailey says and I cringe the way she said both our names together in one sentence. I remember how we first met. We were both attracted by our names because of Rebecca and Jacob in the bible and how they fell in love at first sight. Now, it just seems so cheesy.

"Yeah, don't mind me," I say.

"I'll always mind you, Becca," Jacob says and I stare at him long enough that my eyes waver when he doesn't waver. His strong blue eyes searching mine.

"This is good food," I said with a loud sigh and Bailey agrees with a nod.

We banter about other stuff. Colton also talks about his big promotion and we all cheer with him.

Dinner is over so soon, the cold has turned up and I'm glad I wore a jacket out.

"You still didn't wear gloves" I hear Jacob say behind me, his hot breath fanning my neck, I move away from him.

"Winter gloves on a dinner gown? How fancy" I say rigidly.

"Forgive me, I forgot you're a designer" he teases and my eyes roll but I smile nonetheless.

We're silent for a while before he speaks up.

"I expected you to flip at dinner"

"I don't have that much energy to fight with you Jacob," I tell him.

"Does this mean we're friends?"

"No. It doesn't mean anything. I still want you to leave me alone. Probably never show up in my face again until I'm out of here" I spit in his face and he was just staring at me. Even I don't know why I flipped all of a sudden. Or maybe I was just so hurt it all came out.

"Becca..."

"Don't" I warn him. "What do you want Jacob? Leave me alone. Go away, you're good at that right? Now I'm giving you a green card"

He steps closer to me and I withdraw, my back hitting the rail on the balcony.

"That's the problem. I don't want to go away anymore"

"That's your problem. Not mine" I say and he keeps on talking.

"I thought I didn't need you anymore when I left. I thought I'd gotten over you, but I was wrong"

"Thanks. That makes me feel all better" I sarcastically huff.

"It wasn't supposed to make you feel better. Let's face it, the last weeks of our relationship weren't total bliss and I'd told you I was leaving for Australia so many times Becca. You just didn't take it seriously"

"Oh yeah. Pin it on me"

"Stop. You're not getting me"

"I don't want to get you at all," I said before stalking off. I hear him release a string of profanities from his mouth before a vase throws to the floor. He's so paying for that.

°°°

I release my hair from the bun it was in allowing it to cascade down my back to my waist because it was that long. Jacob had loved my long hair, he even loved it when it hung low, and always reprimanded me for tying it up. But he didn't say anything tonight. Maybe he just liked it down because he always pulled it when we had sex or something.

That made me feel all hot inside but I brush it off, going to bed in my warm jumpers. I pray I dream of rainbow candies and muffins with toppings but that wasn't it at all.

I went to bed thinking of a man with deep blue eyes, luscious pink lips, dark hair, and toned skin, and I dreamt of him.

°°°

I and Bailey signed up for a snowboarding lesson, but Colton wouldn't let her get on with anything dangerous, so he stayed with her while they watched from afar, with Kai by their side trying to build a snowman.

I may not even need the lessons because I've snowboarded a couple of times but it's been a while.

I pay so much attention to the instructor until he hands us our boards wishing us luck.

"You're not planning to go like that are you?"

"You again" I huff at Jacob.

"Where's your helmet and goggles?"

"I don't have one"

"Use mine" he hands me his but I don't collect it.

"I don't want yours. What would you use?"

"I'm pretty good at this stuff"

"You can never be too careful," I say to him and he smiles.

"Do you care about me, Rebecca Sanders?"

"What? No! I just don't want a death on my hand that's all"

He burst into a deep rumble of laughter and I smile, looking down. The sound was so pleasant.

"Come here" he beckons me to him and I walk to him. He helps me put the helmet on, and the googles before getting a spare from his bag. "I bought a spare"

"Have you been stalking me?"

"Probably" he grins and I shake my head with a smile.

"You're pathetic"

"I know. Take my hand"

I hold unto him and we both take that one leap before our boards are sliding down the hillside, then we let go. I'm yelping with joy and I raise my hand hooting. I hear Jacob laughing. I double-cross him, going in front of him and he does the same to me.

"This is fun!" I scream at the top of my voice.

"Be quiet or you'll get snow in your mouth" Jacob warns me with a chuckle before fake choking.

"Look who's got snow first" I tease him and he laughs.

We slowly come down the hill and my board slows down so much, it has me flying off and landing on the snow. Jacob slides to me, kneeling in front of me, his hands cupping my cheek

"You ok, Becca?"

"Yes," I chuckle. "But my butt hurts" I grumble and he smiles.

I hold unto him for support as I stand up to my feet. I don't let go and we're both laughing, I can't remember when last I had this amount of fun with a guy. I stop laughing when I notice he's been staring at me intensely.

"Becca..." He hums and I hold onto his jacket, pulling him to kiss me and silencing whatever thing he had to say.
