On A Rainy Day
It was almost 10 in the night; two best friends as well as the CS and ACS of their college were sitting in the rehearsal hall doing some report work. It took them about 5 hours to complete the report which they are supposed to submit to their teacher the next day early in the morning.
"Hoof finally its over." A tired and exhausted Sharon said.
"Yeah, now let's go home. I can't keep my eyes open anymore." He said in a sheepish way. She giggled looking at her best friend's antics. They winded up everything and headed for the parking lot. It was dark and cold and a thunder crashed over their heads as lightening lit up the sky.
"Wow it's gonna rain." Swayam said excitedly.
"YES." She paused. "But i am so tired. I feel like waiting for the rain but my body is not permitting. She pouted.
"Mine also. I am feeling like sleeping here only." He pouted too.
Both chuckled over their silly talks.
They both headed towards Swayam's black BMW. It was their daily routine that Swayam used to pick her up from her home and then drop her back after college. Both settled in his car. He started to engine and made the car roll towards its destination. From the college it takes 20 minutes to reach Sharon's house. They were talking about random stuff when the car halted suddenly.
"What happened?" asked a confused Sharon.
"Don't know. Let's see." He went out of the car and opened the bonnet to see why his darling car stopped suddenly. He groaned. "The engine has got fever because of the cold. Now it will not move." He said in a joking manner. Sharon frowned. "Now?" "Let's walk. We don't have any other option." He said casually.
They started walking. But to their surprise water started to pour down on their heads. Sharon automatically raised her arms wide to absorb all the water which was falling from the heaven. She slowly started to dance and jump in the rain. Swayam smiled looking at the beauty in front of him. He has always considered Sharon as someone more than a best friend though he never got the courage to tell her. But he didn't know Sharon holds mutual feelings for him. Both were holding a secret in themselves about their feelings for the other in the fear of losing the other's friendship. But it seems like destiny has some other plans for them. Every year they get drenched and enjoy the rain with all their friends. But today they are all alone, totally drenched by now. Sharon felt like all her tiredness were gone, and Swayam, how can he feel tired when he has a dancing angel in front of him. Water droplets were trailing down her skin, from her hairs to her lips. His eyes following them. Few of them travelled down and disappeared behind her dress. She looked at him and indicated him to join her. He was reluctant. He didn't know whether he will be able to control his feelings or not. He turned away. She pouted and came in front of him and pleaded with him while joining her hands together.
"No i am tired." He said softly.
She ignored it and placed his one hand on her waist and hold the other hand in hers. She kept her free hand on his shoulder and started to sway back and forth. He was totally lost in her now. He kept on swaying his body with hers, who was leading the dance. She pulled his hand up and started to swirl. Her long, silky wet hairs hit his face sending a ticklish feeling down his body. He shivered and closed his eyes. She left him and again started to dance around like a free bird. He slowly opened his eyes to look at his dancing angel. The light of the moon was falling on her and was making her whole body shine like a diamond. He slowly walked himself to her and pulled her by her waist and started to swirl her around. Then he again pulled her towards him by her waist and picked her up. She opened her arms wide and he started to swirl both of them together. After few seconds she looked down and their eyes met. She snaked her hands around his neck. He slowly put her down on her feet. Both were lost in each other, in the moment. All control he has was gone. The fear of losing his best friend was gone. Only one thing mattered at that moment was his love for her. She could see his were sparkling. It was those sparks which she has always wanted to see in his eyes for her. She felt her cheeks to be burning. He has cupped her face with his wet cold hands. But she didn't felt them to be cold. Those cold wet hands were giving her warmth. They were burning her skin. In a second to her utter disbelieve he placed his wet lips on hers. She gasped. This was totally unexpected from him but she has always waited for this to happen. Beautiful butterflies started to fly around her stomach. She ignored all her fears, all her thoughts about how is he going to react after this blissful moment stops. Whether he will regret or be happy. She ignored everything and responded back. They were having a slow, gentle yet passionate kiss. One of her hand travelled to his wet hairs from his neck. She clutched them in her fists and pulled them gently. This made him moan in the back of his throat. Rain was still pouring on them. After a long beautiful moment, which felt like eternity to them they pulled apart for catching their breathes. Their eyes met again. But this time reality dawned into them. They both looked away and stepped back. The fear of losing the other person crashed down on them. What if the other person regrets this beautiful moment? "Swayam" "Sharon" both called out the others' name in unison. There was urgency, urgency to know what the other person is thinking. She continued quickly. "Do you..umm..do..". He couldn't take her stammering. He just needed to know what she was thinking. He asked her quickly in a husky, yet nervous voice "Are you regretting it?" she looked at him shocked. The question, the desperation in his voice made her clear that he wasn't regretting that beautiful moment. She felt relieved and nodded her head in negative. This made him sign and brought a smile on his face. His smile seemed to be infectious as it brought a smile on her face too. He moved forward, closed the gap between them and leaned in to take her back to their blissful, beautiful moment.
