Sammy looked up from her computer screen and out the window, again! It was still raining; it always seemed to be raining lately. She had been waiting for it to stop for hours; she really needed to go the supermarket down the road and had hoped the rain would stop long enough for her to do so. It was looking very unlikely.
If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted a bottle of wine she wouldn't have been too bothered about not going, but the thought of a cold glass of white wine to keep her company that evening forced her to get up out of her seat.
She grabbed her full length black leather coat from its peg in the hall and turned to check herself in the large pine mirror that hung above the fireplace. She pulled her fingers through her chocolate coloured brown hair and applied a coat of copper lip gloss to her mouth. It was time to get wet!
Walking down the street and towards the supermarket, she realised it wasn't so bad, it was quite refreshing having the rain on her face, a slight breeze blowing through her hair. As she approached the supermarket she could clearly see it was closed, damn she had forgotten it was a Sunday, "well there goes my chance of a bottle of wine" she said to herself. Feeling a little foolish she turned to walk back home.
A few minutes later, lost in her own thoughts she realised she was walking in the wrong direction. The rain had nearly stopped, and her legs were beginning to ache, she could see a park close by with an empty bench, she wandered towards it and sat down.
Despite the light rain it was a pretty nice day, cool and quite and the sun was trying to break through the clouds. She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them again she could see a man coming towards her, seeing that it was the only bench in the park she knew she was about to have company.
"Hi" the man said, "Mind if I join you?"
"Feel free"
"Thanks, I'm Tony by the way"
"Sammy" she said and held out her hand and he shook it gladly
"Nice to meet you Sammy, may I ask what you're doing out here in the rain?"
"Well I was out to get some wine, but the supermarket was closed and I ended up walking here."
"Well I'm very glad you did, and I'm glad it's raining, you look beautiful wet." He laughed nervously.
As Tony leaned forward to tuck Sammy's hair behind her ear, she could feel electricity charge the air, it was so strange yet just felt so right. She could tell he wanted to kiss her and she had to admit she wanted him to kiss her too!
