The rain was pouring heavily around them. He held her back firmly and she felt the warmth where his fingertips were positioned. She slipped her tongue into his mouth. She could taste the salty rainwater fall into his mouth. His breath was warm and she felt like he could get lost in her kisses.
She had been really angry with him. She had been speaking to him in his deli, away from the rain. He had wound her up by mentioning Henry and Nate. He was trying to be sweet but it really hit a nerve. He was saying how happy he was that she was still with him rather than choosing Henry. It hurt and she was not amused. She didn't want him to see her like this so she did the only thing she could think of. She ran out of his deli. She could hear him following her. He grabbed her elbow and she spun round to look at him. Tears were stinging her eyes and she tried to hide the fact she had been crying. He made her look at him and then he said what she wanted to hear. He told her he loved her. Her brain spun and she replied that she loved him too. They were kissing now. All the passion they had was being put on the table and all the hurt and emotions were being transferred with these kisses.
She didn't respond at first because she was shocked and the rain was making her feel cold. She pushed her lips back against his. She slipped her tongue into his mouth. Their clothes were sticking to them. Gio tried to pull away but she wouldn't let him. She held him close. Eventually she let him go and kissed his neck. He smiled warmly. "Come on you," he said. "It's cold and wet and I don't want you getting a cold. You need all the stamina you can get." He winked at her and guided her inside his deli, changing the sign to CLOSED.
