Hold Me In The Rain

Playful Morning

When you wake up the next morning Bryan and you are still tangled in each other. It's almost like you never moved. You're feeling better but still sore. You turn your head and look at Bryan. He looks angelic. The skin on his shoulders peaking through the top of the blanket, his face relaxed, lips slightly parted. You could look at this image for eternity.

You shift your body slowly to face Bryan. You leave a gentle trail of kisses on his face trying to wake him up.

Bryan groans.

You continue kissing his face until you reach his lips. You give one last gentle kiss hoping this will be the one to wake him up.

"Mm" Bryan mumbles under you.

You look down at him and smile barley seeing the blue of his eyes peaking through his eyelashes.

"Good morning handsome."

"Good morning baby." He smiles and pulls you into him.

"What time is it?" He asks you.

You grab your phone off the table and check it. "10:00" you answer him.

"Ugh." Bryan huffs and stretches.

You both get dressed and head downstairs. The rain pouring from the sky droplets bouncing off the ground and back down again. You grab a cup of coffee and Bryan grabs some orange juice. You sit on a barstool at the counter and he sits on the counter. You guys sit in silence for a few minutes before he walks over to you.

Lifting the sleeves of the hoodie off your wrists he holds them lightly in his hands.
"I'm sorry." He says as the pad of his thumb rubs over the light purple line on the sides.

"It's okay. It will fade." You assure him. "Today's a new day. Okay?"

"Alright." He says wrapping his arms around you almost knocking you off the stool.

"So what are your plans today?" You ask him lifting the cup to your lips.

"Well we were supposed to go do a little shoot but it's raining so I don't think that's going to happen." He laughs.

"I mean I love the rain." You shrug.

"Oh you do?" He grins mischievously.

"I do." You laugh.

"Come on then!" He says ripping you to your feet and dragging you through the house.

Through the front door and out to the lawn he drags you until you're standing in the rain beside him. He drops your hand, lifts his arms up and spins. The smile on his face is one for the books. He's looks like a kid in a candy shop.

You decide to follow the mood and do the same. Spinning in circles around each other he playfully grabs at your hips and you jump away from him each time. He chases you around and you laugh the whole time.

When he finally gets his arms wrapped around you from behind he nuzzles his lips to your cheek and places an extra wet kiss to it. You lean back into him and embrace his touch. His lips move from your cheek to your ear, his breath sending shivers down your spine and make goosebumps appear on your arms.

"I love you." He whispers softly in your ear.

The words catch you off guard but you quickly respond.

"You do?" You ask turning to face him never leaving his arms.

"Yes, I love you (your name)." He says lifting his hand to your cheek rubbing his thumb up and down.

You smile, "And I love you, Bryan Williams." You whisper back to him.

He leans down and you share your first passion filled kiss with him. No hidden agenda, no leading anywhere else. For that moment it was just, you, him, and the rain. Holding each other close your lips move together, slowly opening and closing around the others. When he pulls away his eyes are sparkling, and they look bluer then they did this morning. The sadness he held in his face 30 minutes ago, vanished, and all seems right again.

He pulls your head to his chest and the sound of his heartbeat in your ear soothes you.

"Yeah, I love you." You hear him mumble once more.

You sigh in happiness as he squeezes you tightly; Holding you in the rain.
