An R&R Story: Thunderstorm of Emotion
โโฆI bet you taste expensive, pourinโ up, up, up by the liter. If you keepinโ up youโs a keeperโฆโ
The car door is open, the music fills the air around the couple as they spin around in the rain, laughing and pulling each other close.
โGirl you might be a problemโฆโ
Rylee pulls Ravi close and he spins her out across the wet pavement. Thunder roars overhead, lightning flashing, the wind whipping her hair.
โLet me take you dancinโ, two-step to the bedroom, we donโt need no dance floorโฆโ
Rylee letโs her head fall back when Ravi spins her again, the rain dripping from her hair in a spiral as sheโs spun, running down her back. Ravi shakes the rain from his hair as the beat shifts and gets faster.
โEver since I met you, no need to imagine. Baby all Iโm askingโฆ is let me take you dancinโโฆโ
The beat slows, computer programmed noise starts and Ravi pulls Rylee close, pushing her hair back and smiling. Water drips from his lashes, shimmering as it falls.
โLike, da, da, da, da. Da, da, da, daโฆโ
โGirl you might be a problemโฆโ
โโฆ you can see it in my eyesโฆโ
โLet me take you dancing.โ
Their heartbeats beat as one, faster and faster with the beat, the moment moving too fast to grab.
Theyโre both breathing hard against each other, smiling shyly and staring into each otherโs eyes.
Thunder roars overhead and Rylee asks, โRavi, do you love me?โ
โI will always love you,โ Ravi replies, leaning closer to Rylee.
โKiss me,โ Rylee whispers, shocked that it fell from her lips like honey from the bottle.
โRyleeโฆโ
He leans forward under an urge, his lips crushing hers. She pours into him, pushed against his body, biting his bottom lip and smiling.
He pulls away first, both breathing harder as he puts his forehead against hers. She smiles shyly and closes her eyes again, her lashes brushing against his cheek. She stays like that, feeling his warm body against hers in the pouring rain.
โI told you so,โ he whispers, still leaning into her. โIโll always love you.โ
