"Stefano, it's starting to rain." Raelyn gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze , letting him know it was time to go inside. "Just a little while longer out here." Stefano said, circling one arm around her waist and bringing her in for a kiss. Raelyn laughed out loud and turned her head, blocking him with her hand. "No. Let's go inside and then you kiss me all you want."
Stefano smirked as droplets of the cold rain splattered on them. "Why are you doing this to me?"
Raelyn shook her head. "You want the rain to aid in freezing us to death?" She asked him with a raise of her eyebrow. The rain became heavy. Stefano's hold on her was still tight. Raelyn pressed her tongue to the inside of her cheek. "I'm not doing this with you. I know what you're trying to do." She said, trying to conceal her laughter. Stefano knew she hated the cold and the rain, yet he wasn't budging to go inside.
The enforcers that were outside began to walk towards the couple but Stefano raised a hand to wave them off, his eyes still boring into Raelyn's, with a glint of humor in them. Raelyn tossed her head back with a laugh. "Fine, you can stay out here but as for me—" Raelyn was cut off by Stefano taking her hand and dragging her to the nearby golf cart.
"Let's have some fun , why don't we?" He asked , starting the vehicle. Raelyn clenched her jaw. "Stefano!" She yelled as he began swerving through the rain and slippery grass. "Ew ew ew!" Raelyn screeched as the muddy grass splattered on her sweater and jeans.
It didn't take long for Raelyn to realize Stefano was just driving in circles. "Stefano I swear! Take me back inside now before I throw up on you!" She said, gripping his arm. Stefano was purposely trying to irritate her.
The enforcers watched them with raised eyebrows and grins. They didn't get to see their boss like this often or at all. Some even chuckled and shook their heads.
Stefano got in a good laugh as he jerked the golf cart before speeding back to the entrance of the mansion. Raelyn carefully stepped off the cart and shivered before storming back inside. Stefano smirked as he watched her leave him in the dust.
The sound of the wet puddles she made while storming off was the most adorable thing.
Stefano caught up to her and swept her up in bridal style. "I do not want to be around you right now." She muttered, her head in his chest.
The rain dropped from his hair and landed on her nose.
"You had fun though didn't you?"
"Well I did like the part where I got off the cart and came inside." She said, chuckling.
Stefano bent his head lower to plant a kiss on her soft, wet lips. Raelyn kissed him back. "You know, sometimes I think you forget I'm heavily pregnant." Raelyn muttered. Stefano shook his head, laughing at her. "My love, you are just four months."
