She was sitting on the couch watching her soap operas, missing him. The apartment was empty without him. She was thinking of his beautiful body, his boyish dimples, yet manly physique. His striking sapphire eyes that made her melt. Tears streamed down her eyes as she watched the actors play out the romantic scene. She didn't hear the door. He walked in the room, startling her. "Ahh..oh geez you scared me! I thought you were going to be late today."
She quickly brushed away the tears so he didn't see her silliness. His skin had a sheen of rainfall on it and he looked sexy, his blonde hair slicked back. He bent down and placed a kiss upon her forhead. She reached up and placed her arms around his neck, drawing him closer. "I missed you!" He chuckled a bit. "I've only been gone a few hours, sweetie." She nodded and smiled. "I know, but being stuck at home is lonesome and boring. I hate this. And when will this rain leave? I love you"
"I love you too! I know you hate it, so do I. I don't know when it is supposed to stop raining. Is there anything I can do that would help?"
"Just hold me and don't ever let me go." He reached his hand around her waist guiding her to the couch. Pulling her into his arms.
"You've been crying, haven't you?" She shook her head no. "You have, I can tell. What's got you so upset." Then he spotted the tv and the culprit. "You HAVE! What happened this time? Who died, who got amnesia, who had a baby?" He laughed good naturedly.
"No one...there was just a very romantic scene, that's all." She sighed quietly, almost inaudibly. But it didn't slip past him.
"That's not the only thing you were upset about, is it?" She snuggled up to him, closing her eyes, listening to the rain's torment pounding against the house.
"Baby, talk to me....please" his eyes pleaded with her. She wasn't looking at him, she felt as though she'd start crying again. He placed a gentle hand under her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. Her green eyes glistened with a build-up of tears, he leaned over and kissed her eyelids, the salty taste lingering on his lips. He waited patiently as she gathered her thoughts.
"I..it's just that...oh God help me." He pushed a few whisps of strawberry blonde hair away from her sweaty face. She sighed, wanting to run out into the downpour and lose herself in the flood and her tears. 'Well you must be getting tired of this, I know I am. How can you stand me? How can you just quietly stand by and watch me. Don't you ever want to go on a date? Don't you ever want to stay out all night long dancing and partying, having fun?" She looked so fragile at that moment.
"The thought has crossed my mind. But I don't care about any of that. It all amounts to nothing if you aren't enjoying those things with me. When will you believe me? I'm perfectly content just holding you in my arms. I understand and I love you. You've given me plenty of opportunities to bolt, but have I? NO, I'm still here and I always will be..unless of course you are trying to get rid of me."
"No that's not it at all! Oh God I love you so much, I could never wish for you to go away. I..I just sometimes think you'd be better off without me." He watched as she rambled on, half-listning, the rest of his concentration lay on those soft lips, trembling with frustration and tears. "...less stress, less headaches, more fun, more experiences. Umm more energetic women who could satisfy your needs better than I.." It only took him a moment to formulate a plan. But first he had to get her to calm down, one sure way to shut her up.
He caught her lips gently in his teeth, tugging at them. She whimpered, parting her lips further for him, as his tongue snaked in to explore her mouth. She let the tip of her tongue graze his lips. Neither noticed the rain as it poured through the screen. His kiss no longer searching, demanded more, she yielded slipping her tongue in and swirling it around his. She ran her fingers through his soft honey hued hair. His lips found her earlobe and gently nibbled at it. Chills ran through her and she let out a little sigh. "Does this look like someone wanting to bolt out the door?" She shook her head in reply as he gently eased her back on the couch. He followed down resting his length against her body. She pressed up against him, never able to feel close enough to him.
The rain slowed down to a soft pitter-patter rhythm. He gazed lovingly down at her, noticing the wet spots on her skin. Reluctantly he pulls away from her. She felt the void and reached out for him. When she was rewarded with a furry coat, she opened her eyes, her kitten contentedly enjoying the attention. He was looking out the window, she pulled herself up and off the couch and walked over to him, putting her arms around his waist.
"The sun is beginning to peak through, maybe the rain will stop soon." He turned around, taking her hand in his, placing a soft kiss on it.
"It's a sunshower, my love...do you know what that means?" She watched him curiously and nodded hesitantly.
