He found the door knob, and opened it. He pulled Sunny onto the flat rooftop. She took in a sharp breath, amazed at how beautiful the small city was at night. She could see the canal where they had ridden earlier, and she could barely see the dessert restaurant.
"It's so beautiful up here. I don't even have the words..." Sunny was awestruck. She sat down on a cement object she didn't recognize. Otto sat down beside her, putting his arm around her.
"I..." Otto wanted to say something, but he wasn't sure what to say. His mind was blank. There were so many things he could say to her, but the only thing that would come out of his mouth was meaningless stutter. Instead, he thought, this moment needs more than words. He put his hand under her chin and turned her head so she would be looking straight at him.
She knew what was going to happen, and her stomach twisted with anxiety. She wanted to try something new as much as he did, but she was scared she would mess up. He encircled his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She felt a tremor of exhilaration run through her, yet she relaxed and her natural reactions took over. She placed her hands lightly on his face and titled her head slightly. She let his lips press against his.
He parted his lips and let his tongue brush lightly across hers. A low roll of thunder rumbled across the silent city, sending a spear of lightning down, illuminating the rooftop. Small pellets of rain began to pour down from the thunder clouds, then the bottom dropped out and it began to pour. They kept kissing for a few more minutes, then pulled apart, and ran inside.
