Noah Early Warning
GioWith Bianca being such a distraction today, Gio had forgotten to call his mom earlier to let her know he'd gotten there okay. He had a couple of texts he hadn't read: one from her asking if he'd made there in one piece and another from Noah asking him to call him when he had time.He clicked the television in his room on and tossed the remote on the bed. While stepping out of his shoes, he dialed his mom. She was a little pissed that he hadn't called earlier—said she was beginning to worry, but she got over it once he assured her he was fine.The next call he was going to make was to Noah, but a commercial on the TV caught his eye. He was fairly certain that being around Felix for two whole months he might run into a few celebs. He figured he should start brushing up on some pop culture so he wouldn't feel so clueless if he met anyone he should have at least heard of.The tabloid show on now had just flashed a teaser clip of what was coming up. In the clip were candid photos of
Noah Who's Worried?
GioThe next morning, Gio woke to sounds of trucks outside. He peeked out the window, and sure enough, the plows were going. Gio had seen Felix's private plows on the property last night. Now he knew why he had three. The entire long driveway had been snowed in overnight. Gio expected the winter to be white up here. He knew that's what Big Bear was known for, but this seemed a bit much.He showered and dressed in his favorite pair of jeans and a dark thermal. Once fully dressed, he walked into the living room where Bianca stood in front of the television, holding a mug in her hand. She was still in a bathrobe and her hair looked damp. When she heard his footsteps, she turned, giving him a weak smile.Gio sucked in a breath for two reasons. For starters, she'd washed off all of yesterday's makeup, giving her that innocent fresh look like back in school. This was the Bianca he remembered, and the look brought with it even more memories: memories of staring at her when she was reading
Noah Could He Be More Beautiful?
BiancaDetermined to make the best of another day of waiting for Felix, Bianca decided she'd be positive about this and try to enjoy herself. So far, Gio had been pleasant enough company, and he was certainly nice to look at. She giggled inwardly, biting her lower lip and pretending the scenery out the window at that particular moment was especially interesting."They have beginner trails, right?"Bianca turned back to see Gio's nervous face, his green eyes momentarily veiled under a slow blink of long lashes. Geez, what she'd give to have lashes as heavy as his. She reached out and squeezed his arm. "Yes, they do. Don't worry. I'll take it easy on you." She smiled reassuringly. "Felix was the same way when he first started. Even with all the traveling, he'd never really hit the slopes, so he was just as nervous, but after a few runs, he got it."Gio returned the smile, nodding, but he didn't seem completely convinced. When they reached the lift, Gio appeared even more apprehensive
Noah For the Best
GioGio could've gone for a simple cheeseburger at the ski lodge, but Bianca insisted the food there was overpriced and not worth it. She said there was some place he had to try while he was up here and they may as well try it today.They now sat at BJ's, a dive off the main strip, but Bianca swore they not only had the best cheeseburgers in Big Bear but also the best homemade chili. They also ordered two mugs of beer. Another thing Bianca said was great about this place—their prices. The mugs were under two dollars."Now we're talking." Gio smirked, clinking her mug in the air before taking a swig."I thought you'd like the cheap beer. You're such an Angelino!" Bianca took a swig.Gio placed the mug down, loving how her always-cheery demeanor was so damn contagious. He hadn't stopped laughing or smiling all morning, even when he was falling on his ass. "You calling me cheap?"Her bright eyes teased him. "I call them like I see them. Even Felix with all the money he has couldn't
Noah Adorably Irrisistable
GioGio had never really been much of a talker, especially with girls. It was rare for him to open up to anyone else but his close friends, but Bianca made it so easy. The conversation just flowed so comfortably as if it hadn't been years since they'd last seen each other.When they were finished with lunch, Bianca suddenly looked up at him; her excitement was irrefutable. Instantly, Gio felt the big goofy smile he'd worn all day on his face again. "What?""You wanna meet my grandma?"This was completely unexpected. "When?""Today. My mom too, actually." She stood up and he stood with her. "If we take the back way to the resort, we'll pass right by the shop. I don't usually go even a day without seeing them, and I was planning on going straight back to the cabin after we boarded, but since it's on the way, maybe we can stop by?"The thought of meeting her mom and grandmother made him a little uneasy, especially knowing her grandmother was the type of woman that said "sucks ass" a
Noah Out of Control
BiancaFor as much apprehension as Gio had about getting up on the slopes, he actually caught on much quicker than Bianca had imagined—even faster than Felix had when he first tried snowboarding. After just a few hours, he was getting fancy and speeding up so much at one point she had to warn him not to get too overconfident.She watched as he flew by her while she'd stopped to take a breather. Shaking her head, her eyes followed him. After spending the entire day with him, she could very easily understand how anyone could develop a major crush on this guy. Not only was he incredible to look at but he was turning out to be one of the sweetest guys she'd ever met. She felt terrible that he seemed so agonized about the tragedy in the ring.He made his way back to where she still stood. His big satisfied smile gave her silly butterflies, reminding her of the days back in high school. Then she remembered how she'd felt earlier when he held her hand. Oh, yeah, she was definitely developi
Noah Quelling Temptation
GioUnquestionably, what Gio was doing was technically against the man-code among him and his friends. They'd never actually discussed one, but it was still firmly in place. Coming on at all to one of his friend's girls was clearly breaking all kinds of rules: rules he never would've dreamt of breaking before Bianca. Not only had he just come on to her but he came on strong. He meant to rattle her. He loved what it did to her. Her reaction to his teasing had completely thrown him.He couldn't have planned it better if he'd tried. She'd walked right into all his comments, but she'd practically challenged him to try to weird her out. He heard it in her voice—saw it in those eyes. She could go from Bambi to bewitching siren in a second, and he was hooked. He never would've thought it about sweet little Bianca, but she had it in her. She probably didn't even realize she was even doing it and damn it if that didn't make it an even bigger turn on.Her licking her lip the way she had, had
Noah Heaven?
BiancaFocusing on the excitement of seeing Felix—feeling his arms around her—Bianca pushed aside any nagging feelings of guilt. Curiosity is all it was. She'd been curious about Gio's comment ever since he first made it on the slopes. The wine had just given her the courage to ask. That's all it was."What happened?" she asked, pulling away from him so she could see his eyes. "I thought you said you wouldn't make it up tonight.""Babe, I was waiting for my driver when I called you." Felix's playful smile warmed her. It's what she loved most about him. She always told him she could totally picture what he looked like as a little boy. Despite his rugged features, he still had such a baby face. "I was this close to just telling you, but I knew how disappointed you were about me not making it up yesterday. I wanted to do something special."Bianca turned to the mariachis who hadn't stopped playing. One moment she was smiling so big she nearly laughed, and then just like that the feeli
