Sitting inside my warm apartment, I gazed down at the floor not knowing what to say. "Thank you" I started off turning my head to the man who not even knowing me well decided to help me. "Don't be...it's my duty and plus...that's what friends do right? have each others backs" he responded back with a smile. "Right" a small chuckle left my lips. "Anyways, let's not ruin the mood by talking about them...tell me a bit about yourself, your likes, dislikes...of course if you don't mind" he let out nervously. I stifled back a laugh. Why was he always so nervous around me? cute. I thought to myself.

"Sure" I replied.

"Um...so, your favourite colour?" he asked. "Green, I love the colour green, like forest green" I answered with excitement. "And you?" "Black" I rolled my eyes. "Of course" I muttered. "What?, can't a man like the colour black? jeez girl" he teased making me laugh. "favourite food?" I asked. "Don't really have one, but could vegetables do?"

Wait what?

"I'm sorry, did you just say vegetables?" I asked surprised. My eyes widened and lips tilted up ready to burst out laughing. "No burgers or McDonalds?" he blinked. "Burger King, Subway, Pizza hut?" he shook his head like an innocent child. "what seriously?" I gasped, my mouth open like a fish. "I mean, I don't mind having them but what's so wrong in loving vegetables, I mean look at me-" he opened his arms signing towards his built body. "this is all thanks to all those carbs and proteins I eat everyday" he winked making me scoff. "Health freak" I muttered. "I heard that" his deep voice whispered in my ear making me gulp as a shiver ran down my spine.

"Right..um-" I faked a cough causing him to move back "favourite season?" he asked. "Winter" I smiled. I loved winter, the cosiness of it, the different smell of the air, sipping onto my delicious hot chocolate and of course the magical scenery when everything is covered with white. "Speaking of winter, look outside" he said before standing up and walking towards my large glass window. "Oh my" I whispered dreamily as I stood up and walked towards the window standing right next to him.

Placing my palms onto the cold glass window, I moved closer gazing at the beautiful large snow flakes descending from the cloudy sky as they start to coat the busy roads below. "It's snowing" happiness erupted inside me. "It's beautiful" I spoke watching the flakes getting heavier and faster, drizzling down at the city below. "Yes, very beautiful" Malin whispered causing my head to turn to him but surprisingly, his eyes were not on the falling snowflakes but instead they were stuck on....me.

I couldn't help but not look away. His eyes didn't move neither did mine, it was like we were just frozen, staring deeply into each other's souls. His beautiful orbs were filled with swirling emotions, mysterious dark yet so attractive. Warmness hit my cheek, his palm resting on my face and his thumb slightly stroking my skin adding comfort...a lot of comfort to myself. I felt safe, secure...very comfortable and even though it felt good, I needed to push myself away, I don't have the strength to have a repeat of my past.

His golden locks fell in front of his eyes while the rest were tied into a man bun. I wanted to run my fingers through his hair...I wanted to feel them...touch them...gosh what the hell is wrong with me today?

Slowly, moving closer, he raised his other palm resting it on my other cheek as he slightly pushed me against the glass window. My back was now leaning against the window while he was caging me with his huge arms. I was feeling hot, too hot for my liking. My lips were dry and I couldn't help but keep licking them to keep them moist.

My breath hitched as soon as I felt his warm breath tickling my lips. I gulped instantly looking down. What was he doing? what was I doing? and why couldn't I move? I felt paralysed. I wanted to move, I wanted to push him away but my body was betraying me. I was feeling all sorts, things I did not want to like...for instant...the tingles erupting all over my skin and the stupid heartbeat of mine drumming madly. "I wish...." he whispered, his finger trailing down to my collar bone gently and slowly making my heartbeat race so fast that I worried it might lose control and just explode. Okay, that sounded a bit brutal, but that's how I was feeling right now. "I wish I had met you before" he leaned his forehead on my shoulder causing my eyes to shut immediately.

Rubbing his nose against my neck sending electric tingles all over my body, he slowly looked at me, as I opened my eyes before eyeing my lips and then...he moved closer....and closer...and more closer till our lips were an inch away and before he could meet my lips, I quickly moved my face away causing his lips to touch my cheek. I was shocked as the two of us just stayed in that position in silence for a few seconds until he moved back creating some space between us. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that" he ran his hand through his hair while I continued looking at the floor. What the hell just happened?

"Eyshana...I mean Miss Roy I-"

"Eyshana" I cut him off slowly trailing my eyes up to his face. His face expression was blank but I could see something in his eyes...an emotion that I understood well. 'Hurt'. "Right, Eyshana, I think I should make my way home right now since the snow has started to become quite heavy" he stated firmly, his eyes focused on the window behind me. I don't know why I felt hurt by his tone. He was going to kiss me, shit...I was going to get kissed and....

Without waiting for my response, he turned around grabbing his black coat but before he could even touch the door handle, I quickly rushed towards him, grabbing his wrist uttering the words I didn't expect to come out from my mouth. "Stay"

He stood there still, not moving an inch like he was in shock but then after a few seconds he turned around facing me as I let go of his wrist. His cold expression was still placed on his face but his eyes were filled with confusion. "What?" he asked with disbelief, like he didn't hear what I had just said. Exhaling a heavy sigh, I took a step towards him and repeated what I had just said. "Stay" I don't know why I said that...I really don't know but what I do know is that...I feel happy in his presence, with him around I feel at...peace and I really didn't know the reason behind that.

For the first time ever I didn't want to be lonely, I wanted to be with someone, talk to someone, laugh with them, tease them...someone who I could call mine but I was scared...what...what if he turn out like....like him?

"Could you repeat what you just said?" his tone was still firm and cold making me gulp. "Stay-" "Why?" he cut me off before I could utter another word. "Why do you want me to stay Eyshana?" he dropped his coat on the floor and started to take slow steps towards me. "I..I" I stuttered nervously while he continued stalking towards me, his face blank and his eyes just staring at me intensely. His whole demeanour had changed, his expression, his tone...it all changed turning darker. He wasn't smiling, neither did he have that shy, nervous or teasing look on his face. He was damn serious...like when he is on duty.

"Um...to..-"

"to?" he repeated softly while I continued stepping back nearly tripping over my bag that was on the ground. "to...um...to-" "uh huh...I'm listening" he tilted his head, a small smirk making it's way on his lips. "tohaveasnowballfightwithme" I rushed out as soon as I felt my back hit the wall whilst my eyes immediately shut tight feeling his arms caging me against the wall. oh gosh, why the hell did I say that?

I was trying to control my heavy breathing, silence engulfing us from each corner of the room. The only sounds I could hear were mine and his breathing and the feel of his hot breath brushing my ear. "a snowball fight huh?" I heard him whisper in my ear before biting my ear lobe causing my eyes to snap open. "It's cute seeing this side of you...makes you look..." he move back a bit smirking until uttering the next words that shocked me. "sexy, not that you don't look sexy every time I look at you" he winked.

WHAT?

I stood there like a statue, my mouth slightly open watching him move away. His chuckle then brought me back to reality as I blinked a few times before cursing myself mentally.

Did...Officer Malin Black just flirt with me?

My eyes watched him as he walked towards the door, bending down to pick up his fallen coat. A gush of a sadness hit me. He was leaving? wait, why the hell was I sad? he can go if he wants. "Are you coming?" he turned his head cocking his eyebrow up. "where?" I asked confused. "Didn't you want a snowball fight?" he smirked. Hotness travelled to my cheek, god damn I was blushing. Ignoring his intense stare, I rushed towards my wardrobe grabbing my coat and scarf before making our way outside.

***

Coldness is what I felt as I tucked my cold hands into my warm coat pockets. The park was looking so beautiful, bright, magical and just stunning. The snow was already thick since it was snowing so heavily. My eyes followed the kids running around in their boots chasing each other in the snow. Sounds of cars beeping, engines roaring and the smell of hot chocolate and coffee surrounding myself. Ah...I really love winter.

All of a sudden a cold impact hit me hard making me shocked. I stood frozen just shocked on what just hit me. Turning around, I glared at the man who was throwing and catching a snow ball in his hand, a smirk on his face as he gave me a challenged look. Oh just you wait Mr Black. Smirking, I bent down grabbing a good lot of cold snow in my hand, squeezing the thick flakes before making it into a ball. Cracking my neck side to side, I smirked evilly before throwing the snow fall right into his face. "HAHAHAHA" I burst out laughing. What a hit Eyshana. I patted myself on my shoulder proud of my amazing throw. Malin looked shocked, his face red and wet making me laugh even more. "oh, I see now" he ran his hand over his face before collecting a huge pile of snow making my eyes widen in shock. "Oh you won't" I shook my head before running off. "You can't run away from me Eyshana...I'm so gonna get you back woman" he yelled making me laugh.

I screamed as an arm pulled me back causing me to fall to the ground. "Got ya" the deep voice whispered before a huge pile of freezing snowflakes was thrown over me making me scream. "MALINNN" I yelled making him laugh. His hand was over his stomach as he burst out laughing making me glare at him but then I couldn't help but smile. His laugh was so angelic and attractive. Seeing my reaction, his laugh died down. He was about to walk towards me until he slipped and fell and guess where he fell?

That's right...he fell right on top of me. We were covered in snow as more snow fell on top of us. I was so cold...my hands were numb but with him on top of me, I felt....warm. "Um...could...could you-" I stuttered as his face was close to mine, literally a few inches away.

"O-officer..." I called but his eyes were just focused on my lips. "M-mali-"

...

Everything stopped

The sound of the traffic

Kids screaming

Sound of the howling wind

It was just silence

My eyes widened, my heart freezing for a moment as heat took over my lips. I was silenced by his kiss, his lips taking control, devouring me while I...I just laid there frozen. My cheeks were covered by his big palms, his lips moving faster on my lips. I hated to admit but...his lips...they felt amazing...soft, gentle and sweet that I couldn't help but slowly kiss him back. I felt his body freeze for a moment, maybe in shock before he held me tighter, the two of us just kissing in the snow oblivious to the people around us.
