Sam woke up to the sound of the rain pitter-pattering on the rickety old roof. His eyes opened and he stared into the small one room house in the middle of nowhere. Blurry dots flew into his line of vision and he stretched his long arms over his head, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room. He threw one arm carelessly to the side, hoping it would collide with the soft body of his girlfriend, sleeping softly next to him, curled up in a ball like she always slept. She had gotten up already, apparently. He yawned and closed his eyes. Both of them had decided that they were going to spend the summer together and had driven up to his grandfather's little cottage in his beat-up old car. When they got there, the place lacked electricity and only had a carton of green suspicious milk in the fridge. Despite the lack of people around them, it had been a peaceful month, one of the best summers he'd had. They'd spent the days sleeping in the sun or swimming in the lake out back or kissing on the worn-out mattress they'd brought and not wearing enough clothes. As soon as he rolled over, Audrey came running into the room, wearing only his stripy boxers. Her body was covered in a thin sheen of water and rain dripped from her hair. She smiled broadly at him.

"Hey, babe. Come outside, it's so nice out there!" she said, twirling around. He smiled at her lazily. He threw back the covers, inviting her in. She cocked an eyebrow at him then burst out laughing. She pulled off the soaking wet boxers and threw them in the opposite direction and jumped under the covers.

"Hey silly, you're wearing too much clothes!" Audrey said giddily, showering him with wet kisses and tickling his stomach. She laid down on his chest and he tousled her wet hair with his wide fingers. She pulled his wrists to her and kissed the thin scars etched onto his skin. She was beautiful, in everything that she did, and she was his. Indeed, it had been an amazing summer.

I thought of this when I was at the beach and there was a freak storm and I had to walk back to the apartment in the pouring rain. Kind of went into a totally different direction, nbd. Alrighty, too much blogging and not enough sleep. Night night, lovelies. :)

PS: Sticking with Arial now since I used Lucida Grande before and on some computers it looked totally different from the way I wanted it to look like.
