"You must be fucking kidding me," I grumbled under my breath as we stood in front of the bedroom. Ian had growled and stomped off who knows where, while I still stood frozen in the single bedroom the cabin had.

Yes, I said single. And I also said cabin. No we weren't in the middle of some woods; but we were in the middle of a fucking snowstorm. Apparently, we were in who knows where, where it snows two inches of snow every three hours and to get to the cabin, you had to ride a snowmobile. Oh, and if you wanted company, you had to drive back into the town that was ten miles away, so that was great.....

It hadn't even been an hour since we had arrived. The private jet actually left us about ten minutes away from the cabin, but it left not soon after because of the damn weather. I was surprised the pilots could actually navigate the flying machine through this weather, but that didn't mean I was content with them leaving us here. Our ski driver disappeared as soon as we stepped off the vehicle, and after a quick scan, I noticed we didn't have any other type of transportation available in the premises. When we noticed that it was a cabin, the scowl that had been on our faces only deepened but our quickly freezing bodies made us go inside nevertheless.

We took -well I took- a quick tour of the place, and noticed that everything was stocked. Food and drinks for two weeks, a pile of wood next to the burning fireplace. A small living room that connected with the dining room and the kitchen. There was a small hallway right next to the kitchen that led you to three doors, and that was pretty much it.

As I walked down the hallway to inspect it, that's when Ian began to follow me and I just shook my head. One of the doors was a closet filled with cleaning supplies and more wood. The other one was half a bathroom and then the last one was the single room.

"Stupid parents," I hissed and shook my head. I walked back to the front, ready to make a phone call when I remembered they told us that we wouldn't have any type of electronics. Fuck....

"Well we can deal with everything later. Right now, I'm starving. Do you want any food?" Ian's voice drifted from the kitchen and I slowly stumbled my way to him. My arms wrapped unconsciously around me as I watched him stand in front of the fridge, looking at everything without paying attention to me.

"I'm not that hungry. I'll be fine with an apple," I murmured and I saw him nod. The bright red fruit appeared on his hands a few seconds later, and he quickly threw it at me, making me shriek as my reflexes kicked in.

"Sorry," he chuckled when I barely caught it and continued poking in the fridge. I just went back to the living room and plopped down on one of the two couches that were near the fireplace. My eyes caught a small stack of books on the coffee table, but I was too lazy to get up and get them. "It sucks for you."

I looked up at the sound of his voice, my hand freezing for a second as I brought the apple up to my mouth. "What sucks?" The crunch from the apple resonated through the room, and I almost groaned in delight as the juices flowed down my throat. He poked his head out a few seconds later with two sandwiches in hand and took a big bite.

"You can't wear dresses in this kind of weather."

I rolled my eyes and shrugged. "I actually hate dresses. So I am happy I don't have to wear those huge sacks."

He paused as he looked at me like if I had spoken another language. "What? You don't like dresses???"

I shook my head as I took another bite. "I prefer pants or shorts. Arlene is the one who makes me wear dresses. She knows I hate them and will burn them if she turns her back to me. But since she likes to torture me, it doesn't bother her as long as she can make me some more." I shudder at the thought of new dresses.

He just stared at me in disbelief and I slowly turned away, my eyes going back to the fire. I hadn't really noticed that time had passed by until I saw a hand waving quickly in front of my face, knocking me out of my staring frenzy.

"You alright? You've been staring at that fire for hours already."

"Yup. I'm fine. I'll actually just call it a day and head to bed." After a quick look at the clock, I began to head into the room, sensing him behind me.

"So..... How is this going to work out?"

Right. I had forgotten about that.

I chewed on my bottom lip as I glanced at the couch next to the window, a thought forming on my head. Was I really going to be evil and make him sleep there? He seemed to read my mind since he shook his head and just pointed behind him.

"Actually I'll just stay in one of the couches out there. I'll have the fire to keep me warm."

I nodded as he walked back and then sighed when I was alone. I didn't realize how cold the room was until I stood in front of the bed for a few minutes, staring off into space again. With a quick shudder, I hopped under the covers, not even bothering in changing into some pajamas and curled into a ball.

I just hoped my body heat and the blanket were enough to keep me warm....

*

I could hear the grandfather clock from the living room ticking above my chattering teeth. I had no idea how long I had stayed awake after I closed my eyes, but after hearing the clock chime 3 times, I knew I hadn't slept that long.

My body was shivering, even after I had stood up and wrapped myself in an extra blanket. I was silently fighting with myself, debating whether I wanted to put my big girl panties up and suck it up so I could go curl up by the fire. Or freeze to death.

I was about to stand up when I heard quick, heavy stomps getting closer to the door and then very slowly, it inched open. My eyes were the only things that were not covered by both blankets, so I knew Ian knew I was awake by the relieved look he got on his face.

"Are you cold?" He finally whispered after a few moments of silence. He was slightly jumping up and down in his spot, looking at my bundled form.

"Oh no. I'm g-goo-ood," I stuttered and he rolled his eyes at my sarcastic tone.

"It's even worse out there," he whispered, pointing down the hallway.

"Don't..... You h-have th-the fire?"

"The wind that blows from underneath the door blows it out every time," he gasped. He shivered once, cursed and then came running towards me. "I'm sorry but I can't take it."

"What are you-"

I shrieked slightly as he untangled the blanket from me, leaving me in the cold wind before be crushed his body to mine. I froze as he then threw both covers over us, cocooning us in a small cave of warmth.

"Body heat. We need each other's body heat," he whispered in the darkness as his arms tightened around me. I couldn't protest because sure enough, the few seconds he had been hugging me has given me more warmth than the blankets ever did.

I couldn't see his expression or his face. I couldn't even tell if I was looking at his chest or face, but I didn't care. I just nodded and cuddled closer, wrapping my arms over him as well. "Heat. That's all I will share."

"Go to sleep," was all he murmured before my eyes began to get heavy and I finally passed out again.
