Vacation With Venable

Night 5

Wilhelmina's POV

Since lunchtime, the weather has been awful. It was torrential rain since 12 and there was no sign of it stopping.

"I love the rain," y/n sighed, running her hand down the window and following a raindrop.

"I don't,"

"Why?"

"It ruins everything,"

"No, it makes everything better. Come on,"

"I'm not going outside,"

"OK, still come on," she laughed opening the door.

Once we were stood in the lobby, y/n pushed open the door and started to spin around in the rain, laughing and jumping and splashing. I sneaked a video of her playing in it so I could remember just how strange she was.

"COME ON!" She screamed over the noise.

I just shook my head, making her roll her eyes.

"Come back inside,"

"No,"

"Y/n," I warned.

With that, she sat down in a puddle and folded her arms, making it clear she had no intention of joining me anytime soon.

Bracing myself for the oncoming wave, I pushed the door open and made my way over to y/n. I think she could tell I was pissed, because when she saw me close to her, she got up and moved away from me.

The closer I got, the further she moved back.

"Come back inside,"

"What's the point? You're wet too now," she laughed.

I ran at her and she launched herself down the road and away from me, sticking her tongue out once she had gained enough distance.

I'll admit, the warm rain felt quite nice on my skin and I was enjoying it, until the thunder kicked in and I ran back into the hotel.

I feared only four things in this world:

•Spiders
•How people saw me
•y/n watching Lady Gaga's Super Bowl show
•thunder

I didn't even wait for y/n before I was in our room and wrapped in the duvet, shaking and crying.

"Mina?" Y/n whispered, shanking me lightly.

I had no idea how long she had been there in the room with me, but she was still dripping wet from the rain.

I was about to respond and another crack of thunder rang through the room, making me scream slightly.

"Hey, hey shhhhh," she spoke softly, unwrapping the duvet and joining me in my little cocoon of warmth, before closing the covers around us again, "it's OK, it won't hurt you. I'm here, I've got you," she kissed my temple gently and snaked her arms around my waist.

"You're wet," I said after a while, removing some of her soaked hair off my face.

"Yeah, the rain does that," she giggled.

"I don't like the thunder. I'm almost as scared of it as spiders,"

"OK, well I'm not going to let it hurt you. I'll not let anything hurt you and I swear on my life, that I will never hurt you," she whispered softly and I slowly connected our lips.

Y/n's POV

I held Wilhelmina until she fell asleep in my arms, her head on my shoulder. Once she was asleep, I tightened my grip a little bit and kissed her temple softly.

I had never loved anyone so much and I was absolutely terrified to lose her.
