"You and odd? I think that you are perfect." Did you just really say it out loud? Your eyes widened after you realised that you REALLY said it out loud, not sure what to do next you just closed your eyes cursing in your head. After you opened them again you saw her smiling. Her eyes were glowing like million stars on the sky. You've always loved the night sky and thought that there was nothing more beautiful than the stars, but you were wrong. You met her. No matter how sad or angry you could be, her eyes and smile would bring you comfort and love. You couldn't focus on anything else but her lips. The thought of her lips touching yours made you crazy. Her hand still resting on your cheek felt like silk. She ran her fingers across the back of your hand with her free one and it felt like being struck by lightning. There was a storm overhead that hadn't started yet, but the grey skies were not nearly as intimidating as her eyes on your lips. You were distracted of a light coming from outside. It was raining hard out. There were the constant flash flood warnings, but you didn't think it'd be too bad if there actually was one. A good old thunderstorm every few days was good for us all. For some, it was actually a relaxing experience, but you were usually all tense. You could hear the raindrops falling, see the sky flash pink for an instant, then another. You were always scared of thunderstorms. To be more exact, you had a great respect for them. She sat back with a smile and you already missed her touch.
"I didn't know that somebody like you would be scared of something like a thunderstorm."
"I'm not scared of them!" You tried to defend yourself, not to look weak or childish in front of the older woman.
"It's okay to be scared, we are all scared of something." She smiled and tilted her head. Her eyes scanning your whole existence. You always wondered what crossed her mind when her eyes met yours.
"What about you, are you scared of storms?" You looked at her curiously, trying to read her expression.
"I actually enjoy them. It feels like everything true is coming out during a storm. You see, everything is so chaotic and then? Everything is calm." She smiled and looked at the direction of yet another lighting. "I think life works like that as well, don't you think?"
You couldn't help yourself but stare at her. She was probably the most intelligent being you've ever met. She was the whole ocean, and you were a single drop, at least that is how you felt in her presence.
"So, what are you scared of then?" You dared to speak up.
Before she could answer a loud thunder made you jump towards her direction. You were not really thinking about what you just did. You looked up and her face was maybe an inch away. She smiled softly and brushed your hair behind your ear, a blush appeared colouring your cheeks. Looking in her eyes you forgot to breathe. You heard another loud thunder but your eyes didn't leave hers. Everything just stopped. In that tiny second, you fell for her. You hadn't noticed how close you were or how you were leaning into her shoulder with your legs on top of hers. Until she looked at you, her eyes shining and right then you were aware of everything. You noticed that the tips of her fingers tingled on your arm. You noticed her warm breath against your skin that made you shiver. You were not quite sure what was going on, but you knew that you wanted to stay this forever.
