After Everything

Chapter 3

about 15 minutes into the picnic they were laughing and joking like old times. there was never awkward silence it was always just sexy silence. suddenly the sky opened up and steve felt the rain start to fall. "oh shit." nat said getting up from the blanket to try to cover up the food. but steve didn't get up or try to put anything away. he just looked at her with a smile and said "language nat!". she sat back down but the rain started to belt down on them. steve still didn't move. by now their clothes were soaked along with their blanket and their hair. "it's so... wet..." nat said laughing a throwing a grape at steve. he opened his mouth and caught it. her jaw dropped, stunned. "wow i didn't know you were mr grape!" "mr grape??" they both broke into uncontrollable laughter. they just sat there and let the rain poor. somehow they ended up sitting very close to eachother. they both knew what was going to happen and they both want to squeal with joy. their lips touched as the sky angrily poured out pellets of rain. their wet hair fell into knots. they kissed for a long time. so long that when they even realized that they were still kissing was when they rain cleared up. the sun immediately came out and that revealed a bright rainbow right in front of them. "look!!!" yelled nat pulling her lips from steve's and standing up to see the rainbow. "it's... stunning" steve finished glaring
into the sky. "you know i missed this. nat i missed you so much." he said still glancing at the sky. "i know." she teased with a smile
on her face. "wow sincere!" he said sarcastically. they both laughed until their sides hurt. hours later they had packed up their picnic and were on their way back to steve's apartment. "dinner tonight at my place?" steve asked nat. "well ya i'm kind of forced to. i'm living with you." nat said rolling her eyes but laughing. they got to his door and before he could unlock it nat started to speak. "let's set a few ground rules here." she started and steve stopped trying to unlock his door and suspiciously looked at her with a smile, "ok....." "first of all whenever we watch a sad movie you must wear mascara so i know if you've been crying." she said not even cracking a smile. "second of all," she was beginning to smirk at him laugh his head off, "if speaking to me in spanish please use the term usted" "are they all going to be silly?" he asked while going back to shoving his key into the door and laughing. "and rule three. i don't do morning sex."
"what do you mean?"
"i don't do it i hate it!" "oh cmon who hates morning sex?"
"me!!!"
"ok ok ok no morning sex! is that all?" "yup that's all!" nat said with a satisfied look in her eyes. "phew" steve said sarcastically opening the door to his apartment. it was already 6 pm. "you hungry?" he asked once they were sitting on the couch together. "starved" nat answered. "ok pizza it is then!" steve said jumping up and running to the kitchen phone to order a pizza. "yes captain!" nat said standing up and saluting. they both laughed their heads off and the steve had to hush nat so he could talk to the pizza guy. when the pizza arrived they decided to turn on a movie. "what movie?" steve asked scrolling through the options. "die hard." nat replied in a serious tone. "NO!" steve said looking at her like she was insane. "no no no! i hate that movie so if you won't do morning sex then i won't do die hard" steve said with wide eyes. "ok fine then put on mean girls" "mean girls?" steve asked confused. "it's good just put it on" nat argued. "fineeeee" steve answered reluctantly.
