Chapter Twelve

After each minute that passed I felt more carefree, happier perhaps, a foreign feeling to me. I felt like smiling without having a reason to, I felt like talking, telling about my childhood adventures, those few that I remembered. And he did the same thing, told me about his family, for his parents that kept him in the palm of their hands and kept sure that he didn't need anything, for his traveling he had done. I someone else was in my place I'm sure they would feel jealous, but not me, I wanted just one thing , to escape forever from my dark past that I had left behind, the one that was so mysterious, that occasionally just seemed like a distant dream, whose details I can't remember, I just wanted to be free and happy,and I knew that he wanted the same thing although he was trying to seem like he wanted nothing to be different. Perhaps all of us have our problems that we try to hide from the world, the only difference is that some people are able to hide them better, they are more able to fit than the others.

"You know, you don't seem that much of an arrogant now that I know you better."

"You thought that I was arrogant?"

"I still think so, I  said that you don't seem that much of.."- I replied to him jokingly and then took another bite of the hamburger that he had prepared."Um, these are very good, I was scared to try them in the beginning ."

"I really want to be perfect in your eyes but I'll tell you the truth. I didn't prepare them myself. I know that this ruins the whole magic of the picnic, but I promise that the next time I will care more about the details."

"The next time?"

"Don't think that I will let you escape this easily from me Clara. The first time was very difficult. And don't tell me that you're not having a good time."

"No, on the contrary, I'm having a really good time."-I admitted. Maybe I was wrong, maybe it wasn't a mistake coming here with him.

That pure joyful moment that we were having was interrupted by a thunderous scary thunder. It didn't wait much and it started to rain heavily. 

I tried in vain to protect myself to not get wet by placing my hands over my head, but it was pointless, and only after a few moments I gave up and started laughing, so did he.

"When I planned this day I didn't think of the possibility of this. I'm sorry."

"It's okay ... It's beautiful."-And it was true, being there, in that place far from the world, under the pouring rain. Roel began to gather all the things, but I didn't want to leave yet. I wanted to relish that day, it could be the only one, so I got up and extended my hand for him to do the same. With a hint of doubt he touched lightly my hand and a moment later he was standing right next to me, on his feet. I pushed him lightly and than I started running under the rain that continued to pour harder. 

For the first time I didn't feel sad while raining, those weren't the tears of the sky that was suffering for the poor people that tried to clear the impurities of the world, it was just a small miracle of the nature.

I continued to run through the forest without fearing the lightnings that were beaming in the sky. I ran until i felt two strong arms that encircled my waist and turned me around. And I laughed. Was this happiness?

"You thought I wouldn't catch you?"- He whispered in my ear while turning me again and again. It was just the two of us, still strangers, far away from the world sharing a moment with each other that maybe it would befriend us more.

"Oh please, you caught me just because I wasn't running fast."- I tried to escape from his grasp. He released me, and I turned to meet his green eyes, but I didn't except to be that close to him, that close that I could feel Roel's fastened breathing in my face.

"Hmm, I... "- Without knowing what to do I took a few steps back.

"Hey, don't be afraid, don't be ashamed. Not with me."

"No, just that... "- without knowing what to say else I just stuttered an okay.

"Dance with me?"- He offered me his hand.

"Dance? There's no music."

"We don't need music. Just the rain."

"You want to dance with me under the rain?"-I wanted to know.

"Why not? It's different isn't it?"-he smiled, a smile which you could not say no to, so I decided to take his hand. And everything happened so fast, he pulled me closer, and then we were dancing and laughing like two happy children, or like two crazy people under the pouring rain. I don't know for how long we played, danced, ran. This time the time seemed to have stopped, but in a happy moment, a moment which I would never want to escape from.

"You're shivering..."-I hadn't felt cold until that moment. But I was really shivering, I was completely soaked in my wet clothes, that now were heavy in my body and were making me cold.

"It's nothing."- I smiled. "You are shivering too."

"We're crazy."

"Maybe."

"Come here."-only two words. But he didn't wait for my reaction, he just wrapped his arms around me. My whole body froze in his arms while he embraced me like he wanted to never let me go. Noone had previously embraced me, let alone a guy. He was the first. 

What should I do? Should I push him? Should I leave? Am I pushing it too far? I shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't allow someone this close.

But I didn't think for longer, I gave up and returned his hug throwing my arms around his waist. I don't know for how long we stayed like that embracing each other under the pouring rain, neither of us moved, neither of us talked, just the sound of the rain that was falling on the dry leaves that were spread on the ground like a golden carpet.
