“You really like the rain don’t you?”

I’ve been sitting out on Ashley’s front step for about a half hour, that of which the rain has been falling harder and harder.

Why am I in the rain you might ask? Well believe it or not the rain actually helps me think things through. And right now, I need that more than anything.

Ever since yesterday when I told Ashley about New York I haven’t been able to sleep, or eat. And not to mention I’ve been avoiding Ashley all day.

                “It’s soothing?” I reply looking up to meet the eyes of the brunette.

                “I bet…do you uh…do you want to come inside?” She asks.

                “No…no I kind of like it out here.” I reply squinting my eyes, shielding them from the cold drops falling from the dark sky.

                “Okay…then. I do too.” She reply’s taking a seat next to me on the step. I immediately stop her before she gets too wet.

                “No, no…stop you’re getting wet.” I say standing up, pulling at her arm, already making my way up one more step until I feel a hand grab my wrist.

                “I don’t care…sit.” I oblige, scooting closer to her as she takes my hand in hers, inspecting every line. “What’s been going on with you Spence?” She asks.

                “Nothing.” I say a little too quickly.

                “Spence…”

                “You know what’s wrong Ash.” I sigh intertwining our fingers.

                “New York?”  I nod resting my head on her shoulder. “Look at me.” She demands softly. It doesn’t event take a second before I’m looking into her brown eyes.  She licks her lips and cups my cheek, all while looking directly into my eyes.

                “I love you.” With that she brings her lips to mine, kissing me so soft it’s hard to believe she’s even kissing me. Just as soon as it was initiated she breaks it, massaging my ear between her thumb and pointer finger. “And I’ll still love you when you get back.” She continues with a small smile.

I forcefully pull Ashley towards me, bringing her lips into a hard, unbreakable kiss. My tongue make its way out of my mouth to meet with hers, we both give each other the access needed to roam around freely.
