Chapter: Blackout through the storm
"Where are you now?" she asked him, talking to him over the phone.
"On my way home, but I can hardly see anything, I'm in the middle of a rain storm."
"Drive carefully.. I love you.."
"I love you too, ill keep my phone on so I can check up on you, to make sure you aren't drowning over there."
"Very funny" she chuckled. "Hurry home, I miss you.. but drive safely"
"I will." With that, he hung up and she continued watching the rain on the windowpane, from the couch, awaiting him to come back to her.
It wasn't long before there was a blackout, it was pitch black everywhere, the only problem was finding either a flashlight or some candles.
She found a flashlight, and as she was turning it on, she called him again. "Hey, it's pitch black over here."
"I know, I hope you aren't scared."
"Me? Scared? Are you serious?"
He laughed, at that time she went into the living room to find some candles.
"By the way, when was the last time you put batteries in this flashlight?"
"Which one?"
"The black one."
"…when I was 10.."
Laughing really hard, she took up some candles from the table and brought most of the ones she found to the kitchen, placing all of them on the counter.
"What are you doing now? You seem busy."
"Oh, I'm looking for stuff to light the place, since you and you're 10 year old flashlight doesn't really help me right now."
"Well I'm almost home, give me fifteen minutes."
"I'm counting." she smiled, and hung up the phone.
she went back to the couch and placed candles all over the room, and lighted each one. A smile appeared on her face as what would happen when he got back entered her mind.
"Fifteen minutes" she muttered as she lit the last candle, then she decided to go upstairs and take a bath. she left her hair damp as she tried to find her clothes, much less the dresser, then when she did get ready, wearing a hoodie and black pants, she went back downstairs and sat back down on the couch, still waiting on him to come back with dinner.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And you're here." At that moment, the front door opened, and she was in his arms, giving him a big hug, he lifted her up in his arms, carrying her to the kitchen, while she held the two bags in her hand, he put her to sit on the counter, and took the bags from her.
Looking up at him, she smiled, as he took the food out of the bags.
"I wonder when the electricity is coming back."
"I'm not complaining."
"Who said anything about complaining?" she asked, wrapping her hand around his neck, making him come in front of her, and kissed his lips gently.
When the kiss broke, he went to put the food on the table by the couch, then came back to where she was still sitting on the counter, he lifted her up again, and her legs wrapped around his waist, her arms around his neck and his around her waist.
Carrying her over to the couch, he laid her down on the couch, slowly running his hand up her hoodie and on her stomach. she looked up at him, as he continued kissing her, and kissing back, she slowly took off his shirt.
"You're soaked."
"Yea." he said, in between kissing her once more.
"You know we aren't going to eat what you brought."
"Candle light, the one person in this world I want to be with in my arms, what else do I want when I have everything I have right here?"
she smiled slightly, then repeated what she said before "so, are you going to eat anything?"
"..Maybe" he chuckled, and got up, then sat down beside her, so that she could sit up. He took up a plate of food and gave it to her, then took up the other plate on the table.
It took some time to eat their dinner, considering the fact that he was very distracting, but he still made her laugh. When he put the plates in the sink in the kitchen, he came and sat back down beside her, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"What do you want to do now, looks like the power isn't coming back till tomorrow."
"What do you want to do?" she asked resting her back on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. "There's only one thing we can do right now."
"If its okay with you."
"Be gentle with me."
The pitter patter of the rain beat against the windowpane as he lifted her up, and carried her upstairs. she couldn't help but have this strong urge for him, she couldn't help but want him.
Once in the bedroom, she remembered she had some candles in there that needed to be lit so that they could at least be able to move through the room without bumping into furniture, so she lit about eight candles, and when the last candle was lit, it was like he couldn't resist her anymore that he had to back her up into the wall and kiss her passionately for long.
It wasn't long before they were underneath the covers, him on top of her, and she was under him, still kissing him as he kissed her.
"I love you." He whispered gently in her ear, "There is no other person in this world that I would rather spend my life with."
she couldn't help but smile, he was all she wanted and more, she knew that they would have a great life together, not only now, but the long years to come.
"I love you too Lucas." she muttered, looking up at him, and with that, they continued making out.
