I followed her into the streets, barefoot. I waited too long and now I can’t see her, not to the left and not to the right.

Heavy rain pours from dark grey clouds onto the black asphalt, exploding into tiny fountains as they hit the ground. In seconds I’m soaked, shivering intensely, water running from my hair down into my eyes making it even harder to see. Streams gather in the contours of my face, small rivers mixing with salty tears as a choked sound of despair escape my lips.

Suddenly I notice a small shape in the distance, leaning against the building on the corner with her arms wrapped around her tightly. I take a deep breath and try to pull my wet hair back from my face. Suddenly my resolve is wavering, as I shakily start walking toward her.

She didn’t notice me until I was stood right in front of her, so close I could feel the heat escaping her skin almost visibly evaporating.

I touched the back of her hand, and she stared into my eyes, her face wet from rain, dripping from her heart shaped lips. I slowly leaned closer, my lips touching hers only slightly. My breath heavier now, every bottled up feeling bubbling up to the surface. She didn’t move at first, just waited quietly as her eyes closed. Then I kissed her. Softly, then greedily, our bodies melted into each other as the rain washed away every accusatory word and testing doubt left.

Fade to black.

The credits are rolling and I forgot to watch the ending.
