A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN

CHAPTER 4
~ SILVERMISTYX90

A/N - The second-last chapter!

Disclaimer - I still do not own pokemon even though I wish I did..hmm ... If I did then Ash and Misty would have been together since the day they met. :p

Normal POV/ No one's POV

" She's ... um ... " Misty stuttered

" She is? " Ash motioned her to continue

" My mother " Misty finally spoke letting out a big breathe

" Your mother? " Ash asked with a confused look

" umm..leave it Ash! " Misty suddenly took a hold of Ash's shirt and pulled him on the couch covering his head and face with towel.

" Whaaa..! " Ash cried

Misty giggled.

" But I thought Karen was your mother "

" She's my foster mother " Misty replied sadly

" Want to talk about it? " Ash asked warmly

Misty looked at him and caught his gaze. Ash was looking at her. For a few moments they both gazed in each others eyes. Chocolate ones gazing in Blue-Green eyes and vice versa. Then Misty looked away, blushing slightly and Ash did the same.

" My mother died a few years ago. Maybe 6 years ago " Misty's eyes welled up with tears. she looked at her feet.

" Ohh...I'm really sorry .. I should've not ask-" Ash said with sympathy in his voice

" No no..it's fine. you are the first person who knows this " She looked at him " Please don't tell anyone about this "

" I will not. Promise " Ash replied smiling a little and Misty smiled too...sadly.

Ash again looked her in the eyes and this time he was lost in them. Without thinking anything he lifted his hand and put it on Misty's cheek. Misty started breathing heavily and her whole body tingled with electricity. She closed her eyes melting in his touch. Ash started coming closer and closer. he closed his eyes too in order to kiss her with his one hand still touching her cheek and other around her waist. She leaned forward so their faces were just inches apart and when they were about to kiss...

RING RING!

They both jumped back, away from each other, breathing heavily. Misty quickly reached over to the phone and picked it up only to find Karen on other line

Misty's POV

" Hey Misty. What are you doing? "

" Nothing...I was just sitting ...why'd you call? " I lied...but I just coudn't tell Karen that I was about to kiss a guy.

" Oh..nothing...just checking what were you doing and also to tell you that I'll be a little late "

" Oh..ok "

" Bye "

" Bye "

I put the phone down and walked over to couch...Ash was reading some magazine.

I sat a little away from him. We both sat quite for some time, letting silence fill the room.

" I am sorry " We both said in unision looking at each other.

" I..I...I didn't mea-" Ash tried to say

" I know...ummm...leave it "

We both looked away unable to say anything

" I think I should go...the rain should have stopped by now"

He got up and so did I and we walked towards the door. before opening the gate he asked something unexpected that just froze me in my place.

" Will you go to prom with me? " is what he asked with hope

" I..I...yeah sure! " I stuttered

" Great! I'll pick you up! Bye Mist " He winked at me and then he was gone

I closed the door and ran to my room and jumped on the bed 'Finally he asked me out! FINALLY!' I was screaming in my head and then it suddenly hit me that I was really in love with that idiot, stupid, cute, charming Ash! The same Ash who irritated me before but now asked me to be his prom partner... I just can't believe it. I quickly picked up the phone and dialled May's number... and now I was the one who was jumping...

A/N - Phew! I know a short one...:/ ...next one will be a long one..I promise! Also, next chapter will be of prom...! Till then, Cheers! ;)
