Dark Rain

The Lacuna

Our eyes locked. It was like all despair left right then and there. Her skin was so pale and pure. I couldn't look away, no, I wouldn't look away. Her beauty captured me in a way that no other beauty could capture me. I needed this feeling to last forever.

The girl kicked her leg out between the poles of the railing, pushing the back of her heel underneath the fence to keep herself on the ground without falling over the edge then wrapped her other hand around my wrist. Now having more support.

She signaled me with her eyes to grab around her arm, so I did just that. I was submissive at that moment, I'd accomplish anything for that angel.

She used all of her strength and pulled me above the bar of the railing. She pulled her foot out from between the bars and pulled me into her. She fell backward gliding across the cold pavement with her arms wrapped around me.

My body lay across hers overlapping. Stomach to stomach with her hand rubbing against my back. I've never expected to experience much intimacy near my death, but it made me high.

I lifted my body off from hers penning her between me and the ground. Once again our eyes locked, and we didn't look away. Her breathing was heavy and I could feel the heat of her breath brush against my lips.

I sat up a bit more to avoid me going deeper into her eyes. She laid on her back, her elbows still bent with her hands by her head. I sat slightly on my knees with my legs slowly lifting from the w position; our lower abdomens touching.

She scooted herself up, bending her legs up to her once her knees left from underneath me. She rose herself up onto her knees reaching for me.

Both of her hands grazed across my cheeks toughening her grip around my jaw. "Are you alright?" She said in a stern tone. I was at a loss for words, one because I was on the brink of death, and two the euphoric feelings from her.

"Hey!" she shook my face a bit trying to get me to speak back. I looked down, making her lose her grip on my face. She placed her hands on my shoulders slowly moving them down to my hands curving her pinky to her middle finger around my elbow and having her index drag behind.

It sent chills throughout my body. Her touch could make me go insane, I craved it. Her hands met both of mine. She glided her thumb back and forth across the top of my hand.

"I-I'm okay." I stuttered my words a bit. Her body language shifted into a lighter tone. She started to stand up, mumbling her words together. I tugged on her hand before she could release her grasp from mine, causing her to quiet. She looked at me surprised and confused.

"I just need a moment," I whispered. Once again her demeanor changed but to a more relaxed state. She sat back down making certain that she was ready to listen to whatever I needed to say.

"Could you stay here with me-" I barely finished my sentence. "Of course, don't worry I'm not going to leave you!" She rushed her words together.

"Could you please do me a favor and not tell anyone about this?" I told her trying to be sweet. "Oh um of course, but are you sure you don't need any help?" She said back to me. Her voice was so soft and angelic, it was like a sweet harmony.

"Don't worry I'm alright," I said back. She grabbed my hand motioning me to stand up with her. "Let's not stay out here in the rain, it's cold," she said guiding me back to the door.

She opened it letting me walk in first. "Here take this." She handed me her jacket. I took it off before I ran out there, so it's dry." She wrapped the jacket around me, making sure it was tucked into the right places.

"Thank you," I whispered. She smiled and rubbed my shoulder. "Oh I'm so sorry, I'm probably making you miss your classes." I said getting up quickly. "It's alright, your well-being is way more important than some class." My heart felt as if a thousand butterflies were fluttering about. This feeling was so intense, but I craved this validation.

"I think I'm going to go back home for the day and take a bath," I said slowly turning away. "Wait!" she yelled. "I never got your name!"  She continued.

I turned back around. "Oh," I paused for a moment. "It's Kiera," I said. She looked at me and smiled. "It was nice talking with you Kiera, please be careful. Oh, and my name is Euphony." She said sweetly.

I smiled back, "It was nice talking with you too Euphony, and don't worry I will." I said back. I turned around and walked off. "Euphony." I thought to myself. "She is like a harmony."
