Someone like me can love you forever

10.

I inhaled cold air as I stepped on my balcony. It was small but the view was amazing. My coffee was still hot so I took a chair and put it on my balcony, covered myself with a soft blanket and waited for my coffee to chill a bit while I was watching. There were so many houses, buildings, I heard a life going on in the city. It was a cold day, cloudy, same as most of them in this area. Far away, I could see a big forest through a fog. Did I came out of there? Is my family there, in the distance, behind all those trees, behind curtains of fog and secrets?

Three days before my 18th birthday. I will be alone on my birthday, but if I want to have at least a little bit of fun, I have to do something. I'm going to buy some stuff today and make a cake.

I was walking through the city streets, looking at shop windows, forgetting about the reality. I've bought food, some clothes and unessential things. Sky got darker, clouds were thicker. They wanted us to know that it is going to rain soon. Rain was preparing to fall, wind started blowing.
I was walking faster with many bags in my arms, they were heavy so it was hard for me to hold them. I was few minutes far from my house when I felt small drops on my face. It started to rain, more and more every few seconds. By the time I got in my street, my hair was almost soaking wet and water was dripping from me. I hurried to get into my building, when I heard voice behind me.
"Rose." - someone said, but it was clear to me who it was. "Rose!" - he said louder and I turned.
There was standing Darren, his blonde, white hair was dripping wet as mine, and the rain turned into the storm. Wind was blowing, it was raining like we were standing in a big shower.
"Sorry, this thunder just started and my car is far from here." - he approached me and ran his hand through his wet hair. "I can't go back now, can I please come with you. I'll stay only a few minutes, and I'll be going as soon as this stops." - he looked around us, seeing only rain.
"Yes, let's go fast. It's getting really bad here." - we started going towards building.
"Let me help you." - he took few of my bags to help me because he saw me getting tired.
"Thanks. I'm glad I can help." - we entered and water was just falling from us.
"Damn, it came out of nowhere." - he said.

He sat on a sofa in my apartment. He was only in a white shirt and pants because his jacket and clothes were soaked.
"I'm going to get changed and I'll make you some tea. Wait here." - I took some clothes and went into the bathroom.
"I'm not going anywhere." - he smiled and looked through a window. White shirt made him look so strong, his muscles were outlining.
I took a glimpse at his body and went into the bathroom. He was waiting for me while I was showering.
I ended my shower and started to put clothes on, but I stopped. Only thing I took was a towel, wrapped it around my body so it touched my legs on my thighs. It was short but nothing inappropriate was visible. I came out of the shower, exited the bathroom and came in front of Darren, wearing only one towel around myself.
He slowly moved his eyes to me, then stopped and got in a shock probably. He was staring at me, looking at me from the bottom to the top. He saw every inch of me. I acted like it was nothing, opened my closet and started looking for some clothes.

"You look good." - he said while watching me. His shirt was still wet so I could see his abs.
"You too." - I said, acting like I wasn't paying much attention. I found some pajama and underwear and sat on the bed. Darren stood up and took off his shirt.
"What are you doing?" - I looked at him with a weird look. Now only thing I focused on was his body. He was strong, his muscles were showing and he looked really good.
"It's wet." - he answered while putting his shirt on a radiator to make it dry quicker. "Do you mind?"
"No, not at all. It's still pretty bad out there." - I looked through a window and saw heavy rain and dark clouds.
"If you want I can leave." - Darren was near me now.
"No, stay. It's late now, dangerous for you to go home, huh?" - I don't know how that got out of my mouth. Is he going to stay all night? My voice was a bit appealing, trying to bribe him to stay.
"I don't know. We will see if it's going to stop or get worse." - he looked at the window, then turned to me and got closer.

I raised my head towards him. Now he came to me and sat next to me. His eyes were following my body, memorizing every detail.
He moved his hand and put it on my leg. I still wasn't wearing anything, my pajama and underwear were waiting next to me.
"I'm naked." - I said quietly, looked him in the eyes. My look wasn't fearful, it was confident. I was trying to see what is he going to do next.
"I don't mind." - he said touching my naked leg. "Do you?" - his voice was tempering me to do something.
"Not at all..." - I started breathing deeper as his hand was moving along my thigh, higher and higher. I was naked, only in a towel while he was only in his pants, which were wet.
"Your pants are still wet. Don't you think that you should put them to dry?" - ends of my lips stretched, I looked down so he couldn't see my face.
"If you insist..." - he started to unzip them, but I stopped him.

I put my hand on his and kissed him. He probably didn't expect that. His hand moved to my neck and other one on the leg. He grabbed me for a thigh and kissed me harder. I put my hand on his neck and we started kissing. In the beginning kisses were long, slow and small, but they were getting more passionate and bigger.
His hand was moving up, then landed on my waist. He moved a towel upper. I got on the bed and he laid on me.
"Your pants." - I said between kisses.
He unzipped his pants and took them off. My towel was laying on me but it was almost useless. Almost nothing was hidden anymore. He was only in underwear and I could feel him. I felt his body, naked, cold, muscular body on mine. He took a towel which was in between of us and now I was fully naked. He lifted a bit from me.
"Are you sure, Rose?" - his green eyes looked deeply in my black eyes. Did I want to do this? Yes, it was pulling me and I needed it. I couldn't stop now.
"Yes." - I said while breathing fast and deep. I shuddered and took a big breath while looking at the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
