Chapter Two- The Unexpected Visitor

Machika slammed her door shut and turned around. She was shocked to find out that what her grandfather said was actually true. The most technologically advanced thing in her room was her alarm clock. She was also surprised to see how bare her room was with all of her modern day technology gone. She sank down on to her knees in the middle of her room and cried with her hands over her face.

"You're such a cry baby," came a familiar voice from Machika's balcony. Her eyes appeared over the tips of her finger and looked for the cause of the voice. Her eyes sparkled when she saw the only person who could ever comfort her, Rain. At first glimpse of him, Machika was at the barred balcony door. She started to cry again. She couldn't help it. She wanted to feel his touch again.

Rain hugged her in a warm embrace, as best he could through the temporary steel bars blocking entrance and exit. Machika being considerably shorter that Rain, him being 6'3 and her being 5'6, only cam up to his muscular chest. Rain lifted Machika's chin. With his long, delicate fingers, he swept away the remaining tears off her face.

"Rain, I'm sorry," Machika sobbed. "I told Grandpa our secret. I didn't mean to. He's making me baby-sit the kids from the orphanage, so that the owners of the orphanage can go out tonight."

"Machika," Rain said softly, trying to control Machika's emotions. "Shh. Machika it will be alright."

"No, I won't!" Machika stated, pushing away from Rain a bit, trying o make him understand. "Grandpa forbade me ever to see you again!" A shocked look appeared on Rains' face.

"I-I'm appalled, mortified, flabbergast, consternated, dismayed, distraught, and in despair, and I'm mad!" Machika giggled. He always knew how to make her laugh. "Listen Machika, nothing can come between us. Not even you grandfather."

"But he can," Machika cried out. "He can and he will." With that Rain grabbed Machika and forced her lips upon his. After a moment of struggle she melted in to his comforting embrace, arms snaking around his neck. Wishing the moment not to end, Machika closed her eyes hoping to preserve the memory. Pushing the complaint of pain coming from her head caused by the cool, steel bars pressed against her temples. Machika would not let herself lose control. Not like last time. Just the sheer remembrance of the heat and passion made something inside of her flare up. Feeling something smooth and wet pass between her compressed lips, exploring the new setting, brought forth the memory of the day Machika almost went too far.

FLASHBACK

'Study for a Biology Test. Yeah right, thought Machika, six months prior to what was currently happening. Rain, study for a test? Much less tutor me? I'm so lucky to have such a naïve grandpa. Machika sat up on her bed and looked around her room, adorned with all of her precious electronics. After about a minute Machika noticed one of her prized possessions was missing. "Where did he get to now?" Machika muttered. "He better not break anything." She thought on it no more, lay back on her bed and closed her eyes.

Machika was almost unconscious with sleep, when something brought her back to reality,

"Uhh…Machika," said the voice from the doorway. "We have a problem." Machika was jerked out of "La La Land" at the mention of a problem. She opened her eyes and sat up in a flash. She looked towards the doorway and couldn't help but laugh. In the doorway stood Rain, his khaki cargo pants, white T-shirt, and long blonde hair soaking wet.

"Wha…what…happened?" Machika finally asked between bursts of laughter.

Rain glared at her. "If you stop laughing, I'll tell you."

"Ok." With some effort Machika stopped laughing and asked again.

"I went into the bathroom to wash my hands. Alright?" Machika nodded in understanding. "I turned on the water and this happened." Rain said pointing to his dripping wet clothes for emphasis.

"Apparently you don't know how to read." Machika said." There was a sign on the door that says out of order. Come on. Let's find a towel and put your clothes in the dryer." At that, she grabbed Rain's hand and led him down the hallway towards the stairs. After a few moments of silence, Rain spoke.

"You know I'm mad at you for laughing at me back there." Machika stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"I'm sorry," she said suddenly. She spun around gave Rain a swift kiss on the lips. Not expecting that to happen, Rain stood there in shock. Machika took that moment of dumbfoundedness and ran down the stairs. The sound of Machika's laugh brought hi out of his trance-like. A grin spread across his face as he realized that the chase was on. He jumped onto the hand rail and slid down, landing right in front of Machika as she jumped of the last step. Unfortunately for her, she did not realize that Rain was in front of her, and ran straight into his arms.

"Gotcha," he said as he closed his arms around her small body.

Machika struggled against Rain's wet embrace. "Rain let go! You're getting me all wet!" She exclaimed, trying to push away from his steel body and iron grip. Using Machika's aggravated state against her, Rain picked Machika up and started to carry her bridal style towards where he thought the laundry room was.

"Uh.. Rain" Machika said poking his shoulder. "The laundry room is the other way. She pointed behind them to emphasize her point. As if nothing was wrong, Rain spun around on his heel and walked to the correct location of the laundry room, still carrying Machika, still getting her wet.
