Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away

It was the Christmas holiday, and most of the students had gone home to see their families and be with their loved ones. Jenny's family had decided to go on a cruise, though Jennifer had declined to go with them. She was perfectly content to stay at school, even though she had no one here. Well, that wasn't a fair statement. Madeline and Jonathan had opened their home to the girl who had been their maid of honor, and Jennifer could have spent time with her favorite small children.

However, a different invitation had arrived that Jennifer had pounced on. Alastar Hughes, the teacher that she considered to be the most like a father to her, had offered her the chance to spend Christmas with him and David. That meant that Jennifer could be with her best friend (and crush), Bailee. She could also interact with Reuben, Bailee's younger adopted brother. Just now, Jenny and Bailee were still on the campus, waiting for the adults to be ready to leave.

Jenny was sitting in her dorm room, the fifteen-year-old's hazel eyes watching thick snow fall from the sky to pile up on the ground. She wore her hat, coat, and gloves, wishing that she could go out and play in the snow. She didn't see a reason to go out by herself, though, it just wouldn't be as much fun. There was a knock on her door that interupted her reverie, and she called from them to let themselves in.
"Jenny?"

Jenny turned, and smiled at Bailee, who was dressed much as she was. He grinned back at her, and the two burst into giggles, realizing that they both wanted to go out and play in the snow. Bailee held out his hand to Jenny, and she took it, dragging him outside with her. The teachers were having a staff meeting, and much as they all liked to talk, they could be there for hours and hours. In the meantime, the two teenagers meant to have fun. Jenny walked away from Bailee, and plopped down in the snow, making a snow angel. Bailee watched her for a minute, before holding out his hand to help her up.
"It's a pretty angel, Jenny."
"I know. That's my favorite thing to do in the snow."

Bailee shrugged, using one mitten covered hand to push his glasses back up on his nose.
"I like to make Snowmen." He informed his friend, who smiled back at him, and dropped to her knees, promptly beginning to make him a Snowman. Bailee helped her, and soon they had a good-sized snowman standing on the lawn, wearing Jenny's hat, and Bailee's scarf and mittens. As the two admired their handiwork, Jenny slipped a handful of snow into her hand, lobbing it at Bailee.

The cold snow struck Bailee's cheek, and he smiled, grabbing his own snow, and throwing it at Jenny. The snowball fight was going full force, when Bailee decided to end it. He took his handful of snow, chasing Jenny down with the intent of stuffing snow down the back of her shirt. He finally caught her, and his momentum drove them to the wall.

There Jenny stood, her back against the wall, breath heavy as she looked into Bailee's eyes. Bailee's hands rested on either side of Jenny, effectively trapping her and pinning her to the wall. He met her gaze, before leaning in and pressing his lips to hers. It wasn't the first time they'd kissed- once their first year they'd gotten stuck under some mistletoe. It was the first time that they'd shared a kiss simply because of chemistry.

It seemed so natural to Jenny, that Bailee would stand there, his lips pressed to hers in an innocent kiss. It also seemed natural, to pull him closer and deepen the kiss. She felt his shock, but then his hesitation vanished, and he returned her kiss. When Bailee finally pulled away, neither of them was breathing properly, so they simply stood there and stared at each other.

Jenny wondered if this was the moment she'd been waiting her whole life for.
