Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Eighty Two -- Neighbour
"Former boyfriend, then.""Ashley!"She dissolved into laughter.I threw the popcorn at her.She shrieked, ducking as pieces scattered across the bed.For a few minutes, we were just ourselves again. Two girls making a mess of my bedroom, laughing too loudly, and arguing over absolutely nothing.I had missed that.I had missed feeling like my life was something other than a collection of things I'd lost.When we finally calmed down, Ashley climbed under the blanket beside me and reached for the remote."Can we watch something that doesn't involve a woman crying over a man?"I turned to her."You're the one who picked this movie.""I didn't know the woman was going to cry for forty-five minutes.""Sounds familiar."She gasped.I grinned."Too soon?""You're a horrible person.""And yet you love me.""Unfortunately."She scrolled through the streaming options until she found a comedy. I settled against the pillows, and for the first time that evening, I felt the tension in my shoulders
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Eighty One - The Guy We’re Not Talking About
Chapter Eighty One - The Guy We’re Not Talking AboutAva"I'm just saying, Ava, that man is ridiculously attractive."I pulled the blanket over my head."Go to sleep, Ashley.""No, because you weren't there looking at him the way I was.""I was literally there.""Emotionally, you were traumatized. Your eyes weren't working properly."I dragged the blanket down and glared at her.Ashley sat cross-legged on my bed, wearing one of my oversized T-shirts and a pair of shorts she'd stolen from my wardrobe. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, and she had a bowl of popcorn resting in her lap. She looked far too comfortable for someone who had invited herself to sleep over and spent the last twenty minutes talking about a man I barely knew.Saint.Apparently, saving me from an aggressive stranger at a party had earned him a permanent position in Ashley's imagination."He's not that attractive," I said.Ashley stopped chewing.Then she slowly lowered the popcorn bowl."Excuse me?"I rolled ont

I stared at him."Move.""Why don't you calm down and have a conversation with me?""Why don't you learn what the word no means?"His expression changed.It was quick, but I saw it. The amusement drained away, leaving something uglier beneath it.He reached for my arm again.I jerked away."Don't touch me.""You're making a scene.""Then move out of my way."He grabbed my wrist.Hard.Pain shot through my arm, and I tried to pull free."Let go of me!"He tightened his grip."Stop acting like a bitch."My heart began to pound.The music was loud enough that no one in the next room could hear us clearly. I glanced toward the kitchen entrance, hoping someone might notice, but a group of people had crowded around the doorway."Get your hands off me," I snapped.He pulled me toward the back door."Come outside. We can talk without you making a spectacle of yourself.""I'm not going anywhere with you!"I twisted my arm, trying to break his grip. He swore and caught my other wrist.For one t

Ava"I said no, Ashley.""And I said you're going."I stared at my best friend through my bedroom mirror as she sat cross-legged on my bed, scrolling through her phone like she hadn't just volunteered me for an evening of social interaction I desperately didn't want."I have cheer practice tomorrow.""So do I, and somehow I'm still capable of attending a party tonight.""Congratulations. Do you want a certificate?"Ashley looked up. "You know what your problem is?"I returned to applying lip gloss. "I have a feeling you're going to tell me.""You've been acting like a widow for weeks."My hand froze.Ashley immediately softened her expression. "Ava...""Don't.""I'm not saying you should be over him.""Then what are you saying?""I'm saying you can't keep doing this to yourself. You wake up, go to class, lead cheer practice, come home, and either sit in your room or go to the ice rink. That's your entire life now.""Sounds peaceful.""It sounds depressing."I put the lip gloss down ha

Ava"Again."I stared at Ashley."Are you serious?""Do I look like I'm joking, Ava?"She stood in the middle of the practice floor with her hands on her hips, her blonde ponytail swinging behind her. Around us, the rest of the squad looked equally exhausted. Priya was bent over with her hands on her knees, while two other girls had collapsed onto the mats.We had been practising the same routine for almost two hours.Two hours of jumps, turns, corrections, and Coach's increasingly creative ways of reminding us that she was the pro at this.I was beginning to think she enjoyed our suffering."From the top," she announced.A collective groan filled the room."Save the drama for the audience," Coach snapped. "The competition isn't going to award you points for looking tired.""At this rate, they might award us points for surviving," Priya muttered beside me.I almost laughed.Almost."Something funny, Ava?" Coach asked.I straightened immediately. "Nope.""Good. Positions."I moved into
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Seventy Seven -- The First Test
ZaneAt seven in the morning, I learned that my father had a strange definition of a welcome home.He gave me a black suit, a gun I had no intention of touching unless necessary, and a file containing the name of a man I had never met.Then he told me I had until midnight to find out why the man had stolen from our family."Find out?" I asked, flipping through the papers. "Or make him talk?"My father sat behind his desk, fastening the cuff of his shirt. "Does the distinction matter?""It matters if you expect me to walk into a situation without knowing what I'm dealing with.""Then learn quickly."I looked down at the photograph in the file.The man was in his fifties, with a receding hairline and a face that seemed perfectly ordinary. His name was Viktor Sokolov. According to the information on the pages, he had worked for the family for nearly fifteen years, overseeing a legitimate shipping company that handled some of our international business.Three nights ago, a shipment had di
