Early that morning Claire had woken up to find that Owen was still asleep, he looked cute asleep she thought to herself, she sat up and tiptoed towards the window to find the storm was still going. 'I'm never going to get back at this rate' she thought to herself, but she couldn't help the silence and calmness around here, its not like this back in my apartment but the view is amazing, she remebered that day when she came to get Owen to check out the idominous and how romantic it was with the sunset. "Morning beautiful" she turned around to find Owen sitting up on the sofa "morning" she replied with a smile on her face. "How did you sleep?" Owen asked placing his hands lightly on her shoulders. "Great with you" she said turning around and giving a light kiss on his lips, she walked over to the bedroom to see if her clothes were dry, 'still wet' she thought to herself. "Claire, may want to see this" Owen shouted, she wondered what he meant so as she walked into the living, the. She knew why. "This freak weather has had the country in flooding and damages in every area, so i must warn you don't go outside until its cleared up, the storm will last 4 days before anyone must go outside" Claire looked at Owen "looks like i'm with you for 4 more days" she said giggling, he turned to her "i'm okay with that" he replied.
A few hours later they had decided to play a game of hide and seek, Owen counted and Claire hid she ran around the house trying to find a place to hide her eyes darted towards the wardrobe door, she heard Owen counting down so she hid there very silently. Silence, that's all there was then BANG the door was pulled open makig her jump and he had pulled her out with such force knocking them both to the floor, they both giggled, then she kissed him again he cupped her face again this time moving his other hand up her shirt making her shiver. She put both hands onto his cheeks and pulled him closer for a deeper kiss. "Your a great kisser, you know that?" Claire said against his lips, she felt him smile. He broke the kiss and helped her get up, "i love it here Owen, it's beautiful" she said looking out the window at the wind and rain "yeah like you" was his response, she turned around to find him centimeters away from her, she glanced over to the fridge to find that picture of her still there. "Let's talk" he said takinher hand and moving her over to the sofa and they both sat down.
"What about?" She said with a smile on her face, he looked deeply into her eyes, they were beautiful "us" they eye contact lasted a few minutes before Claire said softly "i love you Owen" he replied "i love you too", she said again "i mean it i love you, i haven't said that for years to anyone" he knew she meant it and he loved her saying it "through my relationships, i thought i was in love... i was engaged once, i boarded a plane to new york to surprise him, but as i walked in through the door i saw him with another woman i was so shocked and upset that i was so scared of falling in love again. So afraid of getting my heart broken and picking up the pie-" a hand was placed on Claires cheek, wiping away the tears "i love you Claire, i mean that too, i would never ever break your heart" she smiled slightly before leaning in and kissing him gently. After the kiss she leaned back and said "i just realised i had a bag of clothes in the car, i should go get them" she went to get up but the quickly dragged down again "i'll get them" without hesitation he ran to the door opened it, ran out towards claire car, grabbed the bag and ran back in. She laughed as he came through the door dripping wet. Later that evening they climbed into bed together, Owen put an arm around her protecting her again, Claire decided to face him and they fell asleep.
