Someone called out to her from the house but the rain was loud so she did not hear anything. She continued to spin and laugh as she danced on the grass, wearing a blue dress and no sandals on her feet. The girl suddenly bumped into something soft as she was dancing around and opening her eyes she found herself staring at a boy who looked at her with a smile on his face as he held her. He was taller than the girl, which made him seem to be a few years older than she was. She had to stand on her toes just to reach his shoulders.
“Come inside…” he said to her, his voice barely a whisper. He too was drenched now, having forgotten an umbrella.
“Later, I’m dancing in the rain. Don’t you just love this weather?” she asked him, her smile lighting up her eyes.
“I do. But I don’t want you falling sick, now let’s go in the house. You’re soaking wet.” He told her, sounding concerned.
“You’re wet too.” She pointed out. “Please, let’s stay out here a little longer, I haven’t felt the rain on my skin in so long.” the girl made a sad face.
The boy moved his hands from her waist to her face and held her cheeks as they locked gazes again. “You’ll be ill. You’ve been here for over fifteen minutes now, the rain isn’t going anywhere. It will still rain tomorrow.” he tried to reason with her.
“So what? If I fall ill, I have you to take care of me.” The girl broke their gaze, she never could look into those eyes for too long without feeling queasy inside.
“How about one dance with me and then we go inside?” the boy asked her as he held out his hand.
She laughed and blushed at the same time. “Alright, one dance.” she agreed.
She gave her hand to him and he placed it on his shoulder while putting one hand of his around her waist. With their free hands clasped together, they began to dance slowly, not caring about getting wet in the rain anymore. Nothing else mattered at that moment, there was nothing more important than being with each other dancing in the rain. The girl was caught off guard when he dipped her and pulling her back up gave her a quick kiss.
“I love you.” he confessed to her as they stopped dancing. They just stood there staring at each other.
“I love you too…” the girl replied as she hugged him tightly. “I always will.” she whispered as her head lay on his shoulder.
They both walked towards the house holding hands, they didn’t care about anything else in the world; didn’t care what anyone thought about this relationship of theirs. All they cared about was that they were finally together.
