BLISSFUL VALENTINE EXCERPT

He stops and meets

my gaze, then bends down and grabs a mound of snow, packing into a

tight ball. He takes a step back and winds his arm, throwing the

snowball straight and fast. It smacks against the metal sign on the

far end of the small pond near a cluster of benches, breaking off

into a multitude of pieces.He wipes his hands

off on his pants.

I shake my head. “Noway, I throw like a girl.”

His picks up a mound

of snow and packs it together, forming a perfect sphere. He hands me

the snowball and stands behind me, pressing his body against mine. My

heartbeats thump against my chest, causing a surge of adrenaline to

rush through my veins. I tremble, holding the snowball in my right

hand. At least I can blame the cold for my shaky arm. He runs his

hand down to my wrist and pulls it back, up toward my shoulder.

He rests his head on

my shoulder and talks softly into my ear. “Pull your arm back to

here and step forward at the same time you throw.” He moves to the

side.

Goosebumps form on

my neck from his warm breath gliding against my cool skin. My stomach

flutters.Here

goes nothing.

I stare at the metal No Parking sign and pull my arm back, throwing

the snowball as I step forward. Tiny fragments of snow fly through

the air. A direct hit.

I clap my hands and

bounce up and down on my toes. “Holy crap, I actually did it. I

didn’t think I could hit the broad side of a barn.” Dean comes

over and raises his hand to give me a high five. I lunge forward and

pull him into a hug, before I realize what I’m doing. My chest

tightens and heat creeps across my cheek.

He wraps his arms

around my waist and presses his body against mine. I step back and

ease away, dropping my arms to my sides. “We better head back, I’ve

still got lots of physics studying to do if I plan on passing the

semester.”He rubs the back of

his neck and nods.

I slide my frozen

hands into my pockets and hold them in tight fists. Note to self:

when

I think I’m finished embarrassing myself I’m usually wrongThe perfect

untouched blanket of snow moves into an array of chaos as we turn the

corner to my apartment. My heart beats faster with each step I take

forward. This walk is taking forever. If I don’t get away from Dean

soon, I may end up doing something else I shouldn’t. I mean, we’re

just friends. I take a deep breath and slowly exhale as we approach

my driveway.

I dig in my purse

and pull out my keys. “Thanks for my victory celebration.”

He places his hand

in the small of my back on our way toward my steps. “First of

many.” His hand moves to my waist.

Summersaults take

over my stomach. I step onto the first step. My boot slips along the

rim of the concrete edge covered in a thin layer of ice and instantly

it knocks me off balance. My hands flail through the air, desperately

trying to grab onto anything.

Dean jumps into

action, catching me before my head smacks against the hard sidewalk.

I grab onto his sculpted bicep and pull myself to my feet.

Fire burns through

my cheeks, which are no doubt fire-engine red. I drop my chin to my

chest and hunch my shoulders. He lifts my chin and gazes into my

eyes. My heart pounds against the walls of my chest. Electric

shockwaves flows through my veins. He leans in closer. My lips part

and lava flows through my body. He tucks a stray strand of hair

behind my ear. “I knew you’d fall for me sooner or later.” He

places a soft kiss on my cheek and takes a step back, turning and

walking away.
