Waking Up In Vegas

Part 10 - Rain Won't Stop Us

   The next day, Hunter brought be shopping at Jeremy’s, the store we went to the first day I arrived in London. We needed to find a dress for the party. Right then I regretted losing my luggage again, I could have just wore the red cocktail dress again, but it was long gone by now.

   We found a nice little black dress for the night and left the place after only a few minutes. I settled for the first thing, since I didn’t really like Nigel and wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

    We spent the rest of the afternoon pretty relax. Though it was raining, we sent for ice-creme but stayed inside the shop. Hunter was wearing sunglasses and a hoody to hide from the paparazzi. He passed me another one of his hoodies that was way too big for me, but so much more comfortable than girl hoodies.

   It smelled sweet, but not too sweet, but like the inside of a bakery which I loved. When he wasn’t looking, I’d take a whiff of his hoody and smile.

   We left the ice-creme shop and walked down the street as the rain seemed to be lighting up. He walked all the way to this park, it was just a huge area covered in grass and had a few trees and benches with a little cement path.

   We strolled down that path, talking about this and that as usual. I noticed our hands were almost touching, but didn’t really mind.

   A place nearby was playing music loudly and I was bobbing my head to the beat. One of my favourite Mcfly songs starting playing and I quietly sang along.

   “I’m starting to fall in love, it’s just my luck...” I sang and Hunt looked down and smiled.

   All of a sudden, the rain started pouring down hard on us, making us soaking wet. I started to run towards the closest shop for shelter, but he grabbed my arms, making me stay put. He then began to look up at the rain and smile widely.

   He looked back down at me and started took my hands and started to spin me around. I had no clue what the Hell he was doing, but went along with it.

   Before I knew it we were dancing and laughing in the rain. I started to run and he would chase me across the park.

   I always wanted to do his with Tom, but he complained that we’d catch a cold and that he didn’t like being wet with all his clothes on.

   He caught me by the waist from behind and lifted me into the air as I exploded in laughter.

   My sides started hurting again and he placed me back to the ground. I turned around to face him and smiled widely at him.

   “I bet you can’t out-run me to the bench over there,” I claimed and before letting him accept my challenge, I ran as fast as I could to said bench.

   I was almost there, beating him when my shoes slept on the wet grass and I fell on my back, knocking my head hard on the ground.

   “Acadia!” he yelled, running over to me and getting on his knees.

   I opened my eyes and grimaced to the pain in my head and back.

   “You ok?” he asked, worried.

   “I’m fine,” I said as he helped me to sit up.

   I rubbed my head and felt a bump starting to form in the back. When I looked up at Hunt, I could see little stars around him face.

   “You’re really beautiful...” I muttered out of nowhere.

   He smiled and helped me up.

   “Well, thank you. You’re pretty beautiful yourself,” he joked.

   “No more running in the rain,” I said, feeling my head spinning.
