Summer In China
Part XII: Storms approach
By: Michelle
The next morning Venus felt uncomfortable. All she could think about was the dream she. It was so confusing to her. All through out practice, she was unfocused. Leonardo noticed it too.
That afternoon, Leonardo and she went to the dock to have lunch. He knew something was on her mind. He thought about questioning about it, but he figured he would loosen her up a bit. He got closed to her and began kissing her neck.
"Leo, please." She wasn't interested.
He ignored her and continued pulling her closer to him.
"LEO, STOP." She pushed him away from her again.
"What?" He was upset with her again. "What is wrong? Every time I try to get close to you, you push me away."
"Leo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." She hung her head and took a deep breath. "I like you. I just...think...we are moving too fast."
His eyes widened. "Moving too fast." His tone changed. "WE DID NOT GO ANYWHERE!"
Her eyes flooded with tears. "I'm sorry."
"Venus, I sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. Is there something wrong?"
"Last night, I had a dream. I saw my father Chung I. He told me that I was rushing into things with you." She buried her face in her hands.
He pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I've been pressuring you lately. I didn't mean to hurt you. I know that being home must be bringing back many memories. I'm here if you want to talk."
"I...I...I know. I'm just so uncertain about my future. The dream was just so confusing to me." She held on him tight. "I like you a lot."
"I do too." He kissed the top of her head.

As they days flew by, Venus and Leonardo grew closer together. Mostly they talked a lot. Venus would question him about his dreams and goals in life. Leonardo would reply to her trying to hint that he wanted to be with her in the future.
One afternoon, Leonardo sat with his arms wrapped around her. He held her tightly. "A storm is coming." He noticed the wind pick up and the lightning flash in the distance. "We should go before it comes on shore."
***********************************************************
That evening, the storm raged. It was like they were in the middle of a war. Chung I's house was old though. Pots were everywhere water leaked in.
Venus looked up at the roof. "We need to get this fixed."
"I'll say." Michaelangelo replied.
Venus sighed, "There's no way we can afford to have someone fix it tomorrow."
"It's no sweat babe." Donatello looked up at the roof. "Raph, Mikey, and I will fix it tomorrow."
"We will." Raphael protested.
"Yes, we will." Donatello continued to look up and began walking around. "The tiles are probably just loose or out of place. Won't be hard to fix them."
"We are also running low on food." Michaelangelo explained as he looked at the remains of the groceries the brought from home.
"Maybe Mai Li can help us." Venus told Michaelangelo. "Most of the villagers have farms. Maybe I can give her a little money to buy some vegetables with."
" Maybe we can fish or something too." Donatello added. "It's would save some money."
"That's a good idea Donatello. Me and Leo can go tomorrow will the three of you fix the roof."
Venus lied down on the floor still looking up at the roof. She remember when she was little, she would do the same. Just looking up and listening to the rain hit the roof. It seemed so long ago, but she knew she would cherish those days forever.
