Livid Rose

Dancing In The Rain

A paper bag, glass of orange juice, along with an aspirin was placed on the kitchen isle. Next to it is is a bouquet of blue roses, to which a nicely folded piece of note is stuck. I took a moment to inhale the pleasant smell of roses. It reminds me of Dior-'Make me a perfume that smells like love.'

I swallowed the little white pill, grabbed the brown bag and settled on the couch.

"Morning." Lisa smiled, as she sank down beside me.
"Will showed up today morning, he was worried." she announced, grabbing a donut from the bag.
"Worried?" I repeated, munching on the donut.

Oh-uh!
My eyes bugged-out as the memories of last night flooded back.
"What did you do?" she asked, looking at my horror struck face.
"I think I mentioned my crappy past, " I said, covering my face with both my hands.
"What's in the note?"
"Rose, I've put a yucky smoothie in the fridge. Drink it, you'll bloom again.
Also, I can give you bartending lesson at 6." I read out.
                         ***
I poured in some vodka, vermouth and also added some ice cubes into the shaker and shook it until my hands hurt. I then poured it into a Martini glass, garnished it with olives and several it to Will.
He is leaning against the bar, his hand in his pocket,an amused look on his face.
"Come on, drink it."
He guzzled it up and covered his mouth in his hand to avoid spitting out.
"You are supposed to sip the cocktail not guzzle it," I said, rolling my eyes.
"ya?"
"How bad was it?"
He took a few steps in my direction,closing the distance between us. The touch of his warm lips against mine, made butterflies in my belly flutter.He put his arms around me to tug me closer. Goosebumps rose all over my back as the kiss deepened. Just like that, both of us were lost in each other. He pushed away from me grasping for air. His scent overwhelming me.

Oh, boy that was good.
A beautiful smile spread across his face.
"That was an amazing kiss, Rose," He said, smirking.

The bell jingled, as a girl half opened the door.
"Is the bar open?" she asked.
"Yes, please come in."
he smiled at her.
She and her friends sat on the table, giggling like teenagers.
I took in the orders and Will prepared and served the drinks.
                    ***

It was almost one o'clock when Will locked the bar. We headed towards my apartment when it begin to rain.
"Have you ever danced in the rain." I asked, as the lightning lit up the sky.
"I had no intention of catching cold."
"Dance with me." I asked.
My hands around his neck, and his on my hips, we swayed to the symphony of rain and the gusting wind.
"Will, you are looking at me like how Jack looks at Rose."
"Because you are my Rose."
His eyes burning with desire, his lips touched mine, as the  thunder rooted for us in the night sky.
