"No, you won't need an umbrella," he had said. "It won't be raining, I promise."
And it had not. Not for the first half hour of your beautiful picnic date out in the nature. You had had time to open the champagne and eat some strawberries, looking up at the amazingly blue sky that was barely dotted with a few fluffy, white clouds.
Before it suddenly turned. The dark grey clouds had invaded the sky in a matter of minutes, and not before long, you could feel light splatters of rain on your skin.
Hurriedly, you had started to try to pack everything up, but knowing you would never be able to make it back to the car, he had quickly pulled you in beneath a great oak. Its heavy and large branches provided a very good cover, but he held the blanket above your heads, too, just in case.
You gave him a sour stare, but it took him a while before he noticed.
"Oh, dear, whatever have I now done? You know I'm unable to control the weather, right?" he said, glancing between you and the clouds.
"Yes, which is why I asked if I should bring an umbrella...," you muttered, crossing your arms.
"You did, didn't you? That was actually pretty smart thinking. We should have brought one...," he mumbled. He then looked down at you, a certain glint in his eyes. "Have you ever been kissed in the rain?"
You frowned, looking up at him. "Huh? No, why?"
He sighed, before dropping the blanket to the ground. "Because the rain kiss is one of the best kisses in the world. Come here, let me show you."
He held out a hand towards you, and you hesitated for a moment, gauging if your irritation was greater than your curiosity.
In the end, it was not, and you slowly took his hand. As soon as he had a grip on you, he pulled you close up against his body, sliding his strong arms around your back and holding you firmly in place.
You felt the rain starting to coat your skin, slowly soaking through your clothes, as he began to back out from beneath the tree. Soon, you were without cover, and the tepid summer rain drizzled down over the both of you.
Looking up at the sky, you gave a giggle as you felt a child playing in the rain. You more felt than heard him gasp, but as you looked back down at him, about to ask what was wrong, he leaned forwards and captured your lips with his.
Within a heartbeat, you were no longer feeling like a child. You gasped as your blood heated up, your body waking up and reacting to him.
And you realized why he had wanted to know if you had ever been kissed in the rain.
The lukewarm water ran down your faces, giving another edge to the kiss as it made your lips slide against each other, not as hindered as usual. As it continued down your bodies, it felt as if he had several hands touching you all over at once, heightening the sensation even more.
