around in the living room
of their shared apartment and she assumed he was seeing if they
could afford to live in the apartment another month.
    She massaged
her temples this time as she felt the beginnings of a headache
coming on. She only had five more pages to type and she could call
it a night. She bleary continued on her mission and wondered how
much caffeine she would need the next morning when she had to
awaken early for a morning class.
    She heard
shuffling from behind her and did not bother to turn. Strong hands
fell upon her shoulders a moment later and begin to gently rub
them. Amber smirked and leaned back into the touch as Greg leaned
down and kissed her neck gently.
    “ Want to
go for a walk?” he questioned lightly.
    The breath
against her ear made her shiver lightly in pleasure. His words hit
her a moment later and she turned to stare at him incredulously. He
was grinning at her and she frowned lightly. Taking a walk now
would me having to stay up even later to finish her essay.
    “ I can’t
right now. I have to finish this,” Amber told him with a shake of
her head.
    Greg scowled
lightly at the statement and ran a hand through his hair. He looked
at the mass of papers and books she had piled around her laptop and
Amber saw a thoughtful look cross his face. She assumed the
conversation was over and turned back to finish typing.
    “ The air
will clear your head though,” Greg pointed out from behind
her.
    “ I know
but I can’t take an hour out. I’ll be up past midnight if I do. You
know I have to be up early tomorrow morning,” Amber
rebutted.
    “ It won’t
be that long a walk. I just want to go down to the lake and back,
half hour tops,” Greg refuted.
    “ Greg,”
Amber whined with a little sigh.
    Greg laughed
lightly at the whine in her throat then began rubbing her shoulders
and neck again. Amber huffed lightly and shook her head, breaking
out of his touch. She rolled her shoulders and went back to the
work in front of her.
    “ Come on,
you love walking in the snow. Look it’s even snowing those big
fluffy flakes you love. It’s a sign,” Greg piped up.
    Amber looked
out the window in front of her and saw that he was right. Big
clumps of snow were cascading down in a swirl of sparkling white
flakes. Amber bit her lip and began calculating out how much time
it would actually take them on the little walk. She finally sighed
and heaved herself out of the chair.
    “ Fine,
but we can’t stay out there too long. I want to be in bed before
1AM tonight,” Amber relented.
    Greg let out a
little whoop of excitement and rushed to pull on boots, a winter
jacket, a scarf and gloves in no particular order. Amber chuckled
at his enthusiasm and tugged on her winter boots. She wound a scarf
around her neck next then donned her winter coat. She tugged on a
winter hat before shoving her hands into gloves.
    Greg placed his
keys in his winter coat and Amber made sure she had hers. Greg oft
times forgot where he put his keys then could not find them. Amber
swore there was some kind of black hole in his coats that swallowed
up his keys at the worst possible moments and spit them out when he
was about to get a new set.
    They strode out
of the modest apartment and took the elevator down to the main
floor. Greg wrapped an arm around her shoulders to hold her close
as they stepped into the snowy weather.
    The cold air
washed over her, chilling her cheeks instantly and tousling the
loose hair she had not managed to tuck into her hat. She shivered
slightly but a smile came to her lips and she snuggled closer into
Greg. Their footsteps crunched in the freshly fallen snow and Amber
noticed theirs were the only set of tracks. No one else loved
winter as much as she did to brave the snow after 9PM.
    The walk to the
lake was brisk and only took about ten minutes. The lake itself was
situation in a park that was normally filled with children. Tonight
there were only a few teens gathered in a group beside the swing
set.
