Chapter 3
There would be days when Wendy would get up early just because she had a good sleep, and today was one of those days. Not only that it was raining, she always loved the rain, everything about it was magical to her. The apartment she shared with the love of her life had a little balcony that gave a good view of the harbor and Magnolia. When it rained like this she could sit there for hours loving the sound and smell of the rain. Doranbolt thought she was weird to love the rain the way she did, but she couldn't help it. She never told him the reason why she did, but she was planning on telling their children one day. Their home was quiet with everyone still asleep, since the sun was still down.
Doranbolt turned over hoping to pull Wendy close to him, only to find a cold spot there instead. Forcing his eyes open he tried his best to see in the dark room, and got out of bed. The cold floor sent chills down his back as he hurried to the living room.
Wendy smiled as she heard him walking towards her, "Good morning love, did you sleep okay?"
Rubbing his eyes he said, "Yeah, but the bed was lonely without you."
"I'm sorry, I heard the rain and wanted to see it."
He wrapped his arms around her, and put his head on top of hers, "You don't have to be apologizing about it, and what do you want for breakfast?"
She turned around, "How about we eat out instead?"
He hummed, "Okay, but we have to go back to bed for another hour, besides Carla is still asleep too."
Turning her head sideways she smiled, "Deal, and carry me back to bed."
Scooping her up, he flung her over his shoulder instead, "I think it's time that I give you your birthday gift Mrs. Gryder."
Wendy whined as she tried to move out of his grasp, "I know what you're thinking Mest and that's not gonna happen. You said we were going back to sleep."
He smirked, "I said back to bed, but nothing about sleeping."
She pouted, "you devil."
One hand was buried in his hair, and the other was digging into his back. His his heavy breathing hit her ear sending a shock wave through out her body. His mouth left hot wet sloppy kisses down her neck to her her collarbone. She scratched at his scalp making him hiss as he nipped at her ear.
Wendy has always been a quiet shy girl, but whenever Mest excited her she would turn into a totally different person. It was of the many things he found out about her that he loved so much. As much as he excited her, she excited him as well. He had been with a lot of women in the past, and he still regrets it, but she was the only person to make his blood boil so quickly.
The house was still quiet. All that could be heard was the rain and their breathless pants.
He looked at her as he saw how beautifully the earrings shined in the dimly lit room as her hair fanned around her small body. She had a curious look in her eyes as she looked At the expression he had on his face. It made her heart stop and she wanted to curl up from how loved and cared for she felt from that one look.
Wendy never liked earring mostly because they would get caught in her hair, and some were just too huge to wear. But these felt as if she wasn't wearing them at all, not only that but they were pretty big. There were many different jewels mixed together that seemed to be like her own personal stars. She would never refuse gifts from him, but this seemed pretty expensive.
Mest brought his hand to her face, "Come on sweetness we gotta get ready."
She nodded and got up from the bed.
As Mest waited for Wendy to finish getting ready he went to make sure Carla was up.
He knocked on the door, "Hey Carla are you up?"
Opening the door slowly he saw her sitting on her bed as she was putting some of her stuff away.
"Good morning Mest."
He gulped, "Morning, Wendy wanted to eat out for breakfast so just make sure your ready."
"Oh no thank you, I need to head over to the guild early today. I have something planned with Happy and Lily."
Puzzled he said, "Well that's unusual of you, but I will let Wendy know."
Wendy walked up to Mest, "What's unusual?"
"Oh Carla has plans at the guild today, so she won't be joining us today."
She pouted, "you sure you don't want to come?"
Carla flew up to Wendy and gave her a hug, "Yes I'm sure, don't worry okay? You should spent the day with Mest, I know you guys haven't had a day together alone in awhile. I have to go, but I'll see you later."
Once Carla flew out her window Wendy walked up to close it. Mest walked up behind her and gave her a hug. Carla had been acting strange lately, and he could tell that Wendy was feeling uneasy about it.
"Don't worry sweetness I'm sure it's nothing, come on we should go before the restaurant fills up."
Before Mest could finish locking up the house Wendy had already started walking down the street. He caught up to her easily, and watched her curiously as she scanned the road ahead watching the rain.
She had the only umbrella, but he still stood there behind her as he got soaked. The earrings he bought her hung beautifully framing her face making her look mature and kind. She was kind already, but he wouldn't fully agree on her being mature at times. He was too busy thinking about Wendy that he didn't realize she stopped, and was looking at him.
She stood on her tippy toes as she covered his head with the umbrella, "Silly silly Mest, I don't want you catching a cold."
He didn't know why she loved him so much, and he didn't know why he loved her so much. There was one thing I did know, he wasn't going to give her up to anything just yet.
"I know, I love you Sweetness I really do with all my heart. Every time I look at you its like someone grabbed the star I have been wishing on and made it real... Come on let's get something to eat."
She had tears in the corner of her eyes, "I love you too Doranbolt, and we should hurry it looks like the rain is getting worst."
She was short yeah, but now she could just barely link their arms together without any problems. As they walked down the streets of Magnolia, you could hear the claps thunder in distance.
It didn't matter if it was raining or the sun was shining, they would always hold tight on each other.
