Chapter 37
Felix
Y ou could say when you were extremely happy, time sped by too fast. I’d had an amazing past two days with Alisha, we’d spent yesterday afternoon at the park and now today, we were enjoying a lighthearted lunch in the mountains. We were at our usual restaurant, after a productive session of skiing. After Alisha’s final lesson, I had a chat with Hilde and she joined us for coffee for the first twenty minutes.
Hilde was keen to get me on a week’s trial at the ski school but she was confident I’d be a natural, given I was an expert at the sport already. All I needed to do was get myself a certificate, which would confirm that I was clear to work with children and adults, that would take a few weeks at least. I didn’t mind waiting, I was making the right decision for once.
“I can never get over how beautiful the mountains are.” Alisha was sipping another cup of hot chocolate, a small blob of cream was on her upper lip. It reminded me of our coffee date nearly a week ago, when neither one of us had admitted our feelings but the passion was evidently there.
“I can never get over how beautiful you are.” And she so was. Her long hair was falling around her shoulders in gentle waves, her cheeks were flushed probably due to the cold and her eyes, ones I wanted to lose myself in forever, were sparkling brightly in the sun. I didn’t think I’d ever seen true beauty until I saw her.
I would cherish the next few days as soon as she would out of reach physically and it was going to fucking hurt, I knew it. It was already starting to stab me like shards of ice and I could only imagine this feeling would intensify once I said goodbye.
“I love having hot chocolate with you, it feels like it’s our thing.” Alisha looked at me with pure elation.
“We can have many hot chocolates together,” I replied. It sounded corny but it felt like it was one of the drinks that brought us closer, bonding over a simple beverage.
“How did you feel about your last ski lesson?” I cradled my mug in between my hands, blowing softly over the top of it.
“A little sad, Hilde was really great. But I want to keep skiing these next few days. I think I’m ready to go up a tougher slope. She said blue runs I’m definitely good to go down but I’m up for a challenge. Want to teach me to go down a red run?” Alisha proposed. I was surprised that the idea didn’t freak her out, as going down red runs you needed to be deliberate and precise with your turning. I would make sure to see how she did down a blue run first before taking her up a more difficult slope. I wanted to make sure my girl was comfortable first.
“We’ve got to ease you in first, sweetheart. But I love your enthusiasm and I’d be happy to teach you,” I agreed, as it meant spending more time with her and watching her achieve her goals made me want to do the same too. She was quickly becoming my reason to keep going.
“I know you’ll ease me right in,” Alisha joked and if we were alone, I’d bend her over and fuck her hard just for being a tease. I let my imagination run wild at all the sexual possibilities I could have with her later. I wanted underneath me, on top, riding my cock until she completely shuddered and coated me with her release. I wanted her to brand me and take whatever she needed.
“Earth to Felix?” Alisha waved her hand in front of my face and I hadn’t realised I’d drifted off. But not for the wrong reasons.
“Oh, sorry.” I dipped my head down, staring at my hot chocolate which was getting colder by the minute. I needed to finish it and then start my ski lesson with Alisha.
“I’d love to know what you’re thinking.” Alisha joined our hands together, her palm was a bit clammy and slightly red, probably from the tight grip she had on her ski pole during her lesson.
“Baby, you’ll find out later. You have no idea,” I said in a low voice so no one could hear. Not that anyone was eavesdropping but there were a few children around as well as an older, sweet couple at the table next to us.
“Hm, I’ll take your word for it. Right, come on Mr Bauer. I’m ready to ski until my limbs are sore.” Alisha downed the rest of her drink and then waited for me to finish mine. It didn’t take me long and was just the right temperature to guzzle it down.
Alisha swung her legs round to get up from her seat and sealed up her ski boots again, as well as placing on her helmet. She looked utterly adorable in her gear and she looked invincible, ready to face whatever. I loved her attitude which was rubbing off on me.
“It’s a little warmer outside now. So you might find you sweat a bit more. But that won’t really bother you, as you’ll be gliding and feeling the wind pass you,” I told her as we walked out of the restaurant onto the crunchy snow.
Now midday, it was busy and we needed to grab our skis to connect them back to our boots.
“Can I lean on you? I don’t always have good balance when I put these on.” Alisha giggled.
“Of course you can. That’s what I’m here for. I’ve got you,” I responded and I didn’t just mean helping her put her gear on. I would always be there for her.
My skis were clipped on with ease and Alisha finally managed to get hers on before letting out a triumphant laugh.
“On y va!” I told her, letting her take the lead. If I was behind her, it meant I could catch her in case she fell. I glided on the snow at a comfortable pace, moving out the way of people in front of me. When I skied, I felt free, and having Alisha here with me, well it felt like I was soaring in the clouds. I didn’t want to land.

I’d never felt more proud of a single person until now. Alisha had just finished going down a blue run, this time without me skiing beside her. I knew she could do it but wanted her to believe she could too. I knew now teaching was in my bones, it felt exhilarating to guide someone who wanted to learn and reaped the rewards from it.
She was shaking but with excitement, a huge smile stretched across her face.
“Someone’s happy.” I skied to a halt next to her as she was catching her breath.
“On top of the world. Thank you so much!” Alisha exclaimed. I looked at the time on my phone and realised it was probably time to get back, she probably had some work to do and I needed to do some housework. I never normally did housework, as I didn’t have the motivation to. Of course I didn’t live like I was in a swamp but Mira had made a few comments in the past about tidying up and taking care of myself.
I felt like a lot of things had changed but for the better. I didn’t want to revert back to the mess that was my life.
Work had accepted my resignation, which I’d given to my boss in person. She didn’t seem to be surprised and said she wished the best for me. As I was still on annual leave, it meant that I didn’t need to go back at all once it was over. I would collect my things, there wasn’t much but I didn’t want to leave it behind.
Charlie had texted to say good luck and to organise a meet up again soon. It was nice to know he cared to check in and that he didn’t just want to be work colleagues.
“Let’s get back, you must be tired,” I told Alisha, it was clear she was exhausted as a few yawns escaped from her mouth.
“Yeah, I need a long bath,” Alisha said. I thought about sharing one with her, soaking in some bubbles sounded perfect.
“And you’re joining me,” she finished. It was like she had dived into my mind but maybe I was just that easy to read.
“Good. And then after, I can do what I’ve been thinking about for the past two hours,” I lowered my voice, in a tone that showed her I meant what I said. Feeling her silky, naked body against mine, being able to dip my head between her legs and taste her arousal.
“Me too. You’re in for a rough ride, handsome.” My girl was bold and confident, I loved it. I wanted her to keep talking but actions spoke louder than words. We skied back to the cable car and hopped into an empty one, locking our lips as soon as the door shut, I didn’t care who saw but I wanted her soft lips against mine for hours. All the way down the lift, my trousers were tight and my cock was straining to get out. Patience was key and by the time we got out of the cable car, our lips were swollen. It made us both laugh and walk as if we had our tails between our legs, as a few people had seen us making out as we came to a stop at the station.
It had never been like this with my ex. I felt like I could just be myself, not pretending to be someone I wasn’t. How did I get so lucky?
The universe had its way of connecting two people together, two souls that had endured so much pain and heartbreak. I knew that no matter what happened, I’d be grateful that Alisha had healed my broken heart. There’d be no one else for me but her.
