The rain continues to pour on us as we make our way back to our secret safe haven. It's still a shock to me that Anna told me so much about her past. The more I learn about her the more I want to know and I think I will always be this way. I will always want to know her better because there is such a large stretch of difference between us. I can only hope she will be willing to trust me enough to reveal these things to me.I look over to the mysterious girl and see her staring up at the sky, as the rain lands upon her porcelain skin, the droplets of rain run down her body and onto the ground. The earth's floor is muddy and puddles form in the dips of the ground, as we both step into the small body of water.
"I think since I told you so much about my past you owe me some secrets about the mysterious Harry Styles." Anna, glances over at me with her eyebrows raised. I nod my head and think of what I could tell this girl. There's so much that I could tell her, I'm just not really sure where to start. I know she told me some really deep stuff and I need to do the same.
"Well, one of the main reasons why my mother and I moved to America is because of my step father. He wasn't a very nice man. He did terrible things to my mother and I, and one day my mother decided that she was done with his shit and she took me and we ran away to America and ever since then life has been ten times better." My step father was one of my biggest scars, he was a horrible man and I can't be any more thankful that my mother decided to leave that bastard.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that." She pulls me into an embrace and holds me tight, even though I don't think of him often there are still scars that he has left on my childhood. I feel like I need to tell her so much more about myself so it will add up to what she has told me. I want Anna to know everything about me, even the darkest of secrets because I want to know so much more about her and I feel the only way she will tell me is if I tell her more about myself.
"It was a long time ago, he's not apart of my life or my mother's anymore so I don't have to worry about him." I haven't seen him in years and I can only imagine he is the same man that he was the last time I saw his unforgettable face.
"Still, it's a shame that he put you and your mother through so much. There are some people in this strange world that I just can't fathom the things they do and why they do them. Max was one of them, I knew he was upset that I had lied to him about Daniel being his son, but there was no reason for him to murder my only child." I can't imagine what it must have felt like for Anna to go through such a thing. If I was in her position, I probably wouldn't have survived it.
"I don't get it either, how people can be so cruel. It makes me wonder how many good people are truly left in this world." I know there can't be many, but one thing I do know is Anna is one of the few that is truly good. She may not be considered alive, but to me she is someone that is worth living for and if that doesn't mean something then I don't know what does.
"I hope it storms for hours." Anna looks up to the sky, changing the subject. She smiles as the rain continues to pour. Thunder booms in the distance and even though I'm not a big fan of storms I am willing to push through them since I get to spend this time with an amazing girl.
"I hope it does for our sake." We continue our journey to the waters as our feet get covered in mud and our clothes get soaked with rain, but all in all it's worth every mud puddle since I get to spend this time with her.
I wish I knew a word that perfectly described Anna, beautiful just doesn't do her justice. She is mysterious, unique, kind, loving, gorgeous and so many more things. And even with all the words, I don't think there is or ever will be one that fits her perfectly.
"It looks like we are finally here." I speak up when I notice the sound of rushing water and spot the body of substance just mere feet away. I grab Anna's hand and pull her towards the pool of water. I start to strip down into just my boxers and watch as Anna rids her body of the thin white gown she seems to always be wearing. When she removes the garment I am shocked to see a black bathing suit with cut outs on the side and on her stomach. I raise my eyebrows and ask,
"Where did you get that at?" I knew it was something from this century considering how much skin was showing and the fact that there was no way Anna just pulled it out of her closet. I must say it looked amazing on her. I hadn't realized the small curves this women had. Even though she was still small, she knew how to work what she had.
"I found it in a suitcase your friend left here, I thought it would be better than wearing this old gown." She explains looking down at the garment. "Does it look bad? I can just wear the gown." I shake my head no and think to myself who's suitcase it came out of. The only other person then my mother that has been here was Madison. I guess it was hers. I had totally forgot about her stuff being left at my house.
"No, no it looks amazing. I was just shocked you were wearing it. " I admit truthfully. I am having a hard time keeping my eyes off her body, but somehow or another I manage to emerge myself in the water which thankfully helped solve another growing problem. The cool water takes over all my senses and my past thoughts have been washed away. Anna takes a seat on the edge of the pool of water and dangles her feet in the liquid. I swim over to her and grab at her feet. Even though she can't feel me tickling her I still continue to do so for the heck of it.
I slowly pull her in with me and wrap my arms around her body. She is cold to the touch, yet she still seems to comfort me in an odd way. I continue to kick my feet lightly to keep us both afloat. The water encloses us in this tangled mess of emotion and limbs as I stare into her blue eyes. I slowly inch my lips near hers before placing them on hers. She kisses back and it's as if everything else around us is irrelevant, the storm seems as if it is silenced and the water no longer feels cold with her lips on mine. Anna pulls back with a slightly surprised look on her face.
"Is something wrong?" I can only hope nothing is. It felt amazing on my end, if only she can feel as well.
"Nothing at all. I am just so happy to be with you." She smiles and kisses me back. I fall back under the spell of Anna Sexton. The evening soon turns to night, yet we still find ourselves intertwine with each other. I couldn't imagine a better person to spend this night with, this life with. Anna is slowly becoming my everything, my life, my safe place, my love.
