(Nikki P. O. V)
I wake up with the sunray falling on my face, I turn and look around to find Cole is not there, but there is a letter on his pillow instead of him. I pick it up and read it.
“Good morning love,
I hope you slept well. I have a surprise for you, I have your breakfast on the coffee table, finish it and get ready, then meet me in the living room,
Love Cole,”
I get up from the bed and walk to the washroom, do my business, brush my teeth, and have breakfast. Then I go to the washroom get ready for the day and walk to the living room.
“Good morning love,” he said kissing me on the cheek, and then he took my hand and led me outside the pack house.
We walked through the ankle-deep snow his hand wrapped comfortingly around mine as he pulled me gently behind him the rustling of the bare branches and the crunching of our boots were the only noises to be heard. He glanced back at me every so often a sly smile on his face I felt my eyebrow raise.
“What are you planning shard?” I asked to which I received an evil chuckle, he was so planning something.
“Surprise remembers?” he said chuckling at me.
I huffed and allowed ourselves to lap into silence my view blocked by his back I let out a soft sigh wishing to get to his surprise as quickly as possible, my prayers being answered moments later.
He stopped stepping back to reveal a lake completely frozen over the top and I raised an eyebrow again, I’ve been doing that a lot lately.
“If you think we’re going to swim in that, you’re even more messed up than I first thought” he chuckled again tugging me closer to his chest and kissing the corner of my mouth causing me to smile
“As much as I had wanted to see you in a bikini again no,” he let me go walking over to a tree he cleared the snow away from the bottom of it pulling out a large crate “I had something different in mind”
He popped the lid open pulling out two pairs of shoes from where I stood hard two blades attached to them if I weren’t frowning a few seconds ago I was now. He beckoned me closer and I hesitantly took the steps towards him.
He directed me towards a seat he had just cleared snow from and I sat down on it and I asked the one question on my mind
“What are those?” I ask him, looking at the shoes, with a puzzled expression.
“These?” he asks holding the shoes in front of me. I nodded and his smile widened.
“They are called skates and we’re going to put them on and go out on the ice,” he explains to me.
“Oh,” I said as I started taking my shoes off shivering as the cold air hit my feet, he laced on his skates and then proceeded to do mine.
“I just hope they fit,” he said with a nervous chuckle lacing mine to make sure they were secure helping me to my feet.
“Woah,” I said as my legs shook, he pulled me closer practically carrying me onto the ice gently setting me down and kissing my forehead as he let go.
“No, no don’t let go,” I said suddenly falling forwards and hitting the ice
“Nikki, goddess,” Cole said kneeling “I’m sorry” he whined pulling me to him before getting to his feet this man’s stamina amazed me sometimes as well as his balance his eyes scanned my body scanning my body for any injury, he had done this ever since the incident that had happened a little over four years ago. I smiled up at him his eyes resting on my face I was quick to join my lips to his in a short kiss I pulled back our breath visible in the cold air.
“Now, hold my both hands and slowly take a step towards me,” he said holding both my hands and taking a step back from me.
“Slowly, one by one, take your right leg first and then left, ” he said instructing me while taking a few steps back, after practising with him for some time, he let me go and took a few steps away from me and beckoning me to come towards him. After falling a few times and trying a few times, I finally learned to walk in skates on my own and we skated for some time while holding hands with each other and I made a mental note to come here to have some fun. After that, we play with ice, throw ice balls over each other, and try to dodge the ball thrown by each other, then walk back home to have lunch.
We take a nap for an hour or two and then he takes me to a carnival festival near our pack-house. Then he led me to an ice cream truck and brought my favourite ice cream, chocolate, and cookies.
Then we rode a roller-coaster, and twister, and tried almost every ride, then he took me to the circus, then we played one of the games and he won a wolf. Then he takes me to the puzzle garden and we roam around the carnival, trying different types of games and fast food until the sun sets and watching the fireworks that happen on the last day of the carnival festival. We also take some photos of ourselves in photo boots and take some selfies on our phones.
I was starving so he took me to my all-time favourite restaurant for dinner and my favourite ice cream parlour. After that, we go to the park where I used to go with him when I was a kid to take a stroll in the park.
After that we go back home and watch some movies, this is the best day of my life, with that thought I fall asleep in my mate’s arms.
