" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

It makes me go up in flames as I realise Adrian is still staring at me with that sort of intense concentration, even if he's angry at me I can't help but feel nervous and shy under this sort of attention I am getting.

"I wasn't offering to put myself in danger for you", and the moment I say it I realised it actually sounds dumb. I can't find any other suitable answer to give him anymore, and so I just let the matter drop and I still down on the grass, my gown spreading out beautifully to make something of a cushion for me. I actually thought Adrian would be angry at this little action, as I was probably dirtying the gown he had probably spent a lot of money to get me, but yet he dosen't seem angry in the least.

He only seems concerned about my sudden interest in the winter games, and as he sat down near me,i grabbed his foot and raised it upwards. The difference between the male and female feet actually surprises me at this point.

I've held my feet enough times in my hand clipping of nails to know exactly each and every bit of them, I know how they are carved, I know how they are frail and thin at the ankles but yet Adrian's feet are completely different in my hands.

They feel almost pristine, the sorts of feet that would make you simply marvel at how even this unnoticeable part of him was also created with such precision and care. It is exactly l you would have expected of a male foot, not too wide or large like others I had seen, but just strong and delicate enough that it would help him pad around the floor soundlessly if he ever walked without his shoes. I can see the glint of the metal in there, and I signal to Arden as she walks up behind me.

I raise his leg into the air even more and I can't help but allow my eyes stray down the curve of his leg, as I see find toned muscle and strong features the more my eyes travel down, it seems only when my eyes hit the black of his shorts do i realise exactly where they've strayed to. My cheeks go up red, and I seriously have the feeling that will die from too much blushing if I am ever to spend another minute with Adrian.

I have the feeling that i will die from erupting in so much blushes that my face would even be practically too tired of blushing so much, what's the use of blushing when all you do is practically embarrass yourself.

I be blushing every five minutes if I wasn't so careful now. Arden snorts and looks to me with something of a conspiratorial grin and I groan at her assumptions. It seems my inspection wasn't too subtle, and I throw that thought out of my head, I'm not meant to be ogling Adrian at this point.

I'm meant to be thinking of exactly how to get this piece of metal out of his leg, it wouldn't seem too hard to do with the right utensils. I'm sure of this as someone who has stepped on broken glass practically all her life now.
