We had just left a get together her parents were throwing. There was a blizzard warning in effect but we decided to go on through. Traveling down a narrow highway with nothing but forest on either side, it was another 300 miles to the city and the snow was getting very heavy. The road was laced with ice and snowdrifts were starting to build high on both sides.
Just remembering the crews in charge of clearing snow were on strike, the 2 of us realized we could not make it back. I pulled in onto a dirt road that was now covered in snow. There was a motel about 30 minutes down the road, so that's where we headed. Thinking that we would be able to rest there for the night, and get back home tomorrow, I drove slowly making sure to avoid any ice that laid in wait. We reached the motel only to find that it was vacant.... by the state that it was in it must have been closed down for years. It was quite obvious that we weren't going to get a room, so I turned the car and headed back to the highway. We didn't get far down the dirt road. A snow drift that must have been at least 7 feet high stood before us, there was no way I was able to drive through it. My girlfriend and I both knew we would be spending tonight the car.
I turned off the ignition and my girlfriend climbed into the back seat while I got some blankets and some food out of the trunk. I got in the back seat and curled up with her under the blankets. We spent the next little while talking to one another about this and that. Trying to make the best of the situation, I opened one of the two bottles of wine her mother gave us and poured some up. Before I realized it, we had the first bottle gone, and we were now on our second. The alcohol sent a warming sensation through my entire body, her tongue became quite loose and our topic of conversation became rather sexual.
Everything she said made my heart beat faster and faster, and that second bottle of wine didn't help the matter. I turned towards her and looked deep into her eyes, we could both see how badly we wanted each other, and the feeling overcame me.
