Here ya go y'all! This prompted by charismaxoxo!

Mara turned the page of her book, the crack of thunder above her didn't stop her from reading, and she was lost to the world of fantasy. Small droplets of crystal clear water fell from the grey clouds overhead in a light sprinkle after a flash of lightning. She turned to the next page, the rain pounding on the roof of the gazebo she sat in. She turned the page again and thunder boomed loudly around her. Plucking a grape from the vine she had next to her, she popped it into her mouth. She raised the book to her face as the scene became more intense. Her phone's screen lit up with a picture of her and Jerome and a quiet love song flowed from the small speaker, but she made no move to pick it up; she was too absorbed in her book.

As she neared the end of the last page of the last chapter some time later, she ignored the light steps on the wood floor of the gazebo. The book was suddenly ripped from her hands and she came face to face with Jerome Clarke. His clothes were soaked, his hair was dripping from the rain and his ice blue eyes held a mixture of anger and relief.

"Hey, give me back my book!" she glowered at him, reaching for it.

The blonde hid the book behind his back and glared back at her. "I've been calling you for the last half an hour; I thought something happened to you, do you realize how much you scared me?"

"I'm sorry, it's just such a good book," Mara reached behind him, but he kept the book from her.

"Mara, you do not realize how terrified I was, do you? What if something did happen to you? I don't what I'd do. I told you about Rufus; ever since that all happened I jump to conclusions pretty easily. I thought you were hurt, or worse." Jerome rambled, setting the book down and sitting next to her, leaning against the back of the bench.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I wasn't thinking; or paying attention." She sighed, turning and tucking her legs under her so she could face him. "Please forgive me,"

"Of course," he stood, taking her hands and pulling her up. She hopped off the bench and reached down to pick up her book. She put it in her back quickly and held her hands up in surrender.

"Next time, I'll read at the house or tell you where I'm going first."

"Thank you," he nodded and pulled her out from under the dry gazebo.

Mara gasped when the cold rain hit her bare arms and tried to run back to the gazebo. The water seeped through her blouse in seconds and her hair stuck to her face.

"Oh, come on, it feels amazing!" Jerome chuckled, pulling her back out.

"We're going to catch cold," Mara scolded him, hands on her hips.

"Nah," he shrugged it off with a careless wave of his free hand. "Let's go."

Mara cupped her left elbow with her right hand and shivered as Jerome pulled her along the sidewalk to the Anubis House. Mara looked away from the dry gazebo on the other side of the yard as when she heard something over the pouring rain. She looked up at the blonde next to her and smiled.

"Are you summing Singing in the Rain?" she chuckled.

Jerome shrugged but didn't stop. He ran a hand through his soaked hair as his eyes scanned the perimeter of the yard. He surprised Mara when he stopped right in front of her making her run into his chest.

"What? What's wrong?" the raven haired girl stared at him in confusion.

"Nothing…" he shook his head, his hair falling in his eyes again.

"Then let's get inside before we get sick," Mara tried to side step him but he held her hand tightly, not letting her move away from him.

"What is it?"

"Amber's watching us through the third window from the left on the second floor of the house." He replied.

Mara looked over his shoulder, and sure enough there was a shadow in window with long straight hair, bouncing in place. Mara laughed lightly, shaking her head. "Then why'd you stop? Let's get back before she thinks you're proposing to me or something,"

"Let's not go in just yet," He crashed his lips into hers and Mara swore she heard Amber's high pitched squeal from inside the house and over the roaring rain. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck and he snaked his arms around her waist as the world around them faded away.

Mara no longer cared that she might catch a cold; this was beyond romantic.
