Cooper

Hailey’s ski group was slowly dwindling and Oakley and Dax seemed to be having a good time together. Oakley told Hailey and me that we could take a break and that she would call us if she needed us again.

“Why don’t we go inside and get a drink?” I asked Hailey.

“Inside? Are you sure about that?” she worriedly asked me, glancing at Elsie and the bridesmaids who were walking into the lodge as we spoke.

I looked at my feet and thought the situation over. I looked back up and met Hailey’s lovely green eyes. “The more time that I spend with you, the more I enjoy your company,” I began. I took her hands into my own. “I want to see you when we leave here. We don’t live too far apart, you know?”

Hailey looked stunned for a moment when I had said that I wanted to continue our relationship past this weekend. Part of me had been wondering where this was all going to go. I was scheduled to check out tomorrow. I’d been wanting to put it out there.

She blushed and then grinned at me. Then she simply nodded in agreement.

I smiled. “Good, then it’s settled. I look forward to seeing where this will go between us. I think it’s going to go far. Truthfully, I’ve never felt this way about anyone before,” I gently confided in Hailey.

I knew I was putting a lot out there all at once; maybe rushing things a bit. But our situation was unique. We met away from home at a wedding. I didn’t have much time to tell her how I felt.

Hailey nodded again and smiled at me. Her green eyes were shining with happiness and I loved seeing her happy. I waited for her to say something.

“I’d like that, too,” she replied. “And, Cooper, I realize that it’s only been a couple of days, but I don’t let my guard down for just anyone. The more time we spend together, the more my feelings grow for you,” she told me.

I put my hands to her waist and pulled her to me. Not caring who was watching any longer, I put my lips gently upon hers. She hesitated but didn’t pull away. Our lips lightly brushed together, and a chill ran through my body. A good kind of chill.

I finished the kiss with a peck and took her by the hand. She grinned at me and we walked hand and hand into the lodge, not caring who was looking. And trust me, they were all looking.

I led Hailey to the bar and took a chance to glance over at my mother. She was watching us closely. I sighed and looked away, not wanting to lock eyes with her. I’d deal with her later.

We ordered two drinks, watched the crowd dancing to pop songs on the dancefloor, and waited for dinner to be announced. I stayed close to Hailey, not wanting to leave her side and have my mother of Elsie come over to harass her.
