September met January on a rainy day in May.

January 29th.

I quickly put some pants and some shoes and threw a jacket over my shoulders and followed her out the door. I chased after her down the hallway trying to catch up to her then yelling her name as she made her way to the stairs.
"Evangeline! Evangeline wait!" I tried harder to match her speed but she was a good sixteen feet away from me. I was trying to figure out how she was so much faster than I was.
"Evangeline!" I shouted as she turned the corner to the next flight of stairs. I jumped over the rail trying to get to her then finally I stopped behind her and yelled "January!" Right then she stopped and turned around. I walked to her calmly and saw the tears starting to roll down her cheek as she looked back at me. 
"What?" Her voice breaking, "What do you want from me huh?" She then snapped at me.
"It wasn't supposed to be-, stop being so nice to me. Stop being so generous and kind to me. I don't need your pity or your friendship, like goddamn it Drew, I just want to fuck okay? That's all. Is that so wrong? I don't need this." She waved her hands at me. "Stop it. Okay? I don't know what you expected to get from me." I looked at Evangeline as a tears began to stream down her face now. At first I didn't know what to say exactly. I kept rubbing my head trying to figure out what I should say. Evangeline just stood there crying and staring at the ground. Then suddenly while I was looking at her and I felt this feeling come over me and I knew I just couldn't stop myself like she had asked me. I moved closer to Evangeline, pushing her up against the wall, putting my hand under her chin so that she would look at me and then I kissed her. We stood there for a moment with my lips pressed against her's till I felt her kiss me back. I pulled her closer into me as kissed her harder at the same time I could hear the rain outside thundering and crashing down on the window next to us. 
Evangeline soon pulled away from me putting her hand over her mouth. I backed up to give her some room. 
"I'm sorry." I whispered, but she only looked up at me and shrugged her shoulders. 
"Eva- January. I meant what I said upstairs." I told her, "I do love you. And I mean that in every way possible. I would never do anything to hurt you or cause you harm or make you feel vulnerable in anyway. Evangeline I want to be more that what we are now, because I care about you." 
Looking back up at me and removing her hand from her mouth, Evangeline started messing with her thumbs as she always did when she was nervous. 
"How?" She said, "How do you know you love me?"
"Because I think about you constantly. I come up with excuses to go see you. I come up with excuses to make you stay the night. When I wake up I get sad because you're not at my place watching reruns of 'I love Lucy', It's also because you also make me feel less cynical about love and living the life I have. You're also the only person who can make me go crazy like this." She began to cry a little bit more, but this time I could tell it wasn't because she felt frustrated. 
"I love you January." 
She looked at me shaking her head. 
"I don't know how to do this."
"What? Do what?"
"The girlfriend thing." She said. I began to laugh so hard it was ridiculously misplaced in our conversation. 
"That's fine." I said wrapping my arms around her. I felt her wrap her arms around my waist instead of rejecting me as I thought she would. 
"We'll do this together. Okay? But you have to trust me a little okay?"
"Okay." She said laying her head on my chest. I looked outside as the rain came down harder and harder with each passing second, wishing to never let go of the person in my arms.
