I swallowed. 

My pulse thrumming so loudly in my ears that it drowned out the pouring rain around us. Our eyes held as his hand lowered, grazing past my ears, my shoulder and down my arm, raising up my goosebumps in a trail behind his fingertips to my hand where it rested on my thigh. He hopped down from the bench, tugging at my hand. He looked out at the rain and slowly catching my eyes with his.

"I don't think it's going stop. We're going to have to brave it."

His smile warmth in the cold rainy night and I returned it with nervous grins.

"Don't worry. Just keep your faith in me and you'll be okay."

"Okay." A puff of white smoke escaped from my mouth and his eyes travel to my lips longer than it should be.

Just a little bit closer our lips will be smash together. He lowered his head to me and sighing in frustrations.

"Please stop me, Velvet."
