The windshield wipers thump fast, back and forth. Hope could barely see the road it was snowing so heavy now. Her hands gripped the steering wheel as she slowly tried to follow the tire tracks in front of her but they were quickly disappearing. A little smile curved her lips as Johnny Mathis started singing, I’ll be home for Christmas, through her car speakers. Hope hadn’t been home for Christmas since she up and followed Ned to New York, a couple of years ago, as he followed his dream. She always thought she was a part of that dream until a couple weeks ago when she found him fucking the coat check girl at her company’s Christmas party. It was at that moment she decided it was time to go home. Her mother had warned her of the pending snow storm approaching but when have weathermen ever been right, besides she grew up braving the mountain snow storms, how bad could it be?“Ha,” she mumbled, “Of course Blizzard Bob had to be spot on with this storm.”The snow was falling in the biggest fluffiest flakes, it was mesmerizing. Everything was white which is why she didn’t see the guardrail until the last minute. She hit the brakes and turned the wheel trying to avoid it but it was too late, her car crashed through the guardrail and down into the deep embankment. Her car stopped so suddenly that her head flew forward hitting the steering wheel, making her lose consciousness.She first heard the thump of her still running windshield wipers as her head began to clear. She sat up with a gasp, then winced in pain, as she felt a warm trickle down the side of her face. She reached up to rub where the pain was coming from, felt the stickiness and quickly pulled her hand back to find her fingers covered in blood.“This is just great,” she sighed deeply.She grabbed some fast food napkins from the center console and pressed them to her head. She looked out her windshield to a vast landscape of nothing but white. She grabbed her cell phone and saw there was no signal. “Really?” She questioned, looking up. Hope was convinced at this point in her life her guardian angel was a drunk.She sat, contemplating her options when she saw a bright light, followed by a loud crash and her car suddenly lurched forward.“What fresh Hell is this?” she grumbled to herself.Turning to look out her back window she could see a soft glow through the snow Pendik escort that blanketed it. She went to open her door but found she was unable to open it. “Bang, bang, bang,” against her passenger side window made her jump with a scream. “Are you okay?” she heard a man yell from the other side of her window.She quickly reached over and pulled the handle to open the door. He pulled the door open the rest of the way and bent down and looked inside. Her eyes met a pair of the brightest blue eyes she had ever seen. He smiled, she felt herself flush and had to look down.“You’re hurt,” he said with a panicked tone.“It’s nothing,” she said, “Just a small cut, it’s stopped bleeding now.”He climbed quickly into the passenger seat and grabbed her face, inspecting her wound. “It’s not a deep cut but needs to be looked at.”She swallowed hard with his face right in hers, it had been a while since a man had touched her so tenderly. Even though she was with Ned for the last six months, he always had to work late and just didn’t have the time for her.She smiled at him and held up her cell phone and waved it, “You wouldn’t happen to have a signal, would you?”He looked at her curiously and then she saw it register on his face. He quickly reached into his coat pocket and pulled out his phone. He swiped the screen and was met with no signal also. “I’ll be right back,” he said and went to get out of the car.What was only ten minutes seemed to be hours when he finally opened her passenger side door and climbed back in. He was totally covered in snow and shivered, shaking off the cold.“No luck,” he said and I’m afraid we are too far down this embankment to get our cars out.“Now what?” she asked.“How much gas do you have?” he asked.She looked down at her gas gauge and it was just above an eighth of a tank.“Not much now,” she looked back over at him.“We can’t stay here, the storm is going to get worse. I have some blankets in the back of my truck. We can walk along the road, there is a little town not far from here or hope someone comes along.”While the thought of trudging through a blizzard didn’t exactly excite her, especially with a hot looking guy who had eyes that seemed to look deep inside of her, she knew he was right. He got out of the car once again, grabbed the blankets from his and opened her Beykoz escort bayan door back up, “Ready?” he said with a reassuring smile.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” she smiled back and crawled across her passenger seat and out of her car. He wrapped a blanket around her and they started up the embankment to the road. She was surprised how much snow had fallen since she first went down the embankment. As they reached the top of the embankment, he reached out his hand and pulled her up. She stumbled and fell into his arms. He grabbed her, keeping her from falling over and when their eyes met, they were face to face. It was like time stood still and a spark flickered in his eyes. She quickly looked away and pulled herself free from his arms.She looked around at how peaceful it was. While the snow was coming down heavy, everything seemed still.“Always drunk when I need her,” she mumbled.“I beg your pardon?” he asked.She let a laugh and said, “My guardian angel, she seems to be in a drunken stupor for the last year.”He laughed and said, “I think I’m on my second, so no judgment here.”She looked up at him, smiled and sighed to herself, “He has a sense of humor, too”“I’m Jack, by the way,” he said.“Hope,” she said.“Hope,” he said with a soft smile, “Nice to meet you.”As they walked along she told him why she was on this road and he told her why he was. They both had the same kind of year in their personal lives and picking the pieces back up.It seemed like hours that they were walking. She was cold and shivering. They weren’t even sure they were still on the road. When out of the corner of her eye she saw a small light. “Jack, she said, “what’s that?”“A light,” he said with excitement, “Come on.”They made their way to the faint little light and found themselves on the porch of a little cabin. They both pounded on the door desperately but got no response. “Stay here,” Jack said with a stern tone.He disappeared into the storm. After about fifteen minutes the cabin door flung open and she was quickly pulled inside. She screamed being startled and fought the figure tugging on her. “Hope, it’s me, Jack,” he said gripping her shoulder making her look into to eyes.A sigh of relief flooded her and she began to cry. He pulled her close and hugged her tight. She felt the skin of his neck Escort Cevizli on her cheek, it was warm and inviting. He held her there for a moment then pushed the snow-covered blanket from her shoulders, swooped her up in his arms and set her on the couch. He grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch and wrapped it around her.“I’m sorry,” she sniffled.He reached up and took her face in his hands and wiped her tears with his thumbs, “Nothing to be sorry about.”Her eyes looked up and met his and suddenly there was a butterfly village fluttering in her tummy. She quickly broke the intense stare between them and looked down.“Right,” he said with a deflated tone, “I’m going to get some firewood.”When he left the cabin, “What are you doing?” she mumbled softly under her breath when an eerie feeling came over her. It was dark in the cabin, there was no light but they saw a light through the heavy snow, it’s how they found the cabin. Her tummy began to grumble and she realized she hadn’t eaten since lunch. She gripped the blanket tightly around her shoulders and fumbled around the cabin in the dark. She took her phone from her pocket, still no signal and switched on the flashlight. The cabin wasn’t much but was shelter from the storm. She searched cupboards for something to eat. She found some cans of baked beans and thought to herself, “These should warm things up,” followed by a giggle. She searched around and found a can opener and a pot to warm the beans. At that time, Jack was coming back in with a tote full of firewood and began starting a fire in the fireplace. Soon there was a warm glow falling over the inside of the cabin.“Most impressive,” she said watching him stoke the now roaring fire.“Guess being a Boy Scout has some advantages,” he said with a grin, “What do you have there?”She giggled and said, “All I could find.” He looked into the pot, laughed, took it from her hand, and hung it on the hook over the fire. “Get yourself warm,” he said as he went off searching the cabin. He came back with quilts and pillows and made a bed on the couch in front of the fire. “That should keep you warm, tonight.”“Me,” she said, “What about you?”“I’ll be fine here on the floor,” he said as he pointed to the pillow and blanket on the floor.She sighed inside and said, “Jack,” but was quickly interrupted.“I think the beans are warm now,” as he grabbed the mitt off the mantel and removed them from the heat. They ate in silence. When they finished the beans he set the pot aside and said, “There is a makeshift porta-potty through that door,” he said and pointed, the window opens so you can just dump it out.”
