Hey! Been a while guys, anyway, this one was prompted by 'TheMysteriousRobyn' and her twin sister! How awesome is that? Anyway:

In the rain

Enjoy!

"Come along, Jaffray," Jerome grinned, walking into the living room. Mara looked up at him from her book and frowned.

"Where?"

"Oh, just for a walk," he smiled, pushing his hands into his pockets and looking at her through his fringe. Mara frowned again, and she looked at him. He was dressed in a purple shirt and darker purple tie in dark blue jeans. And then she looked to the windows, where the rain was pouring heavily. She pointed to the window, giving her excuse wordlessly "Oh come on," Jerome rolled his eyes, walking towards her and taking the book out of her hand and placing it on the side. He took her hands in his "It's just a little rain."

Mara laughed "Just a little rain? Jerome, we'll get soaked!" but she let him drag her into the main hall.

"Don't worry m'lady, I have an umbrella," he produced the large blue umbrella and led them out of the door. He opened it immediately, and neither of them got wet, he wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, and the two walked down the path of Anubis House. The rain falling nosily around them.

"Jerome, where are we going?"

Jerome smiled at her, and tapped his nose.

"Always the mystery," she sighed to herself as he led them up a smaller winding path, into the woods. "Oh my god, now we're gonna get lost in the woods in the rain." Mara whispered, looking around nervously.

Jerome chuckled lightly "Relax, Jaffray. You've got me, I'll protect you,"

Mara leaned in closer to him, his hand warm on her waist. As they walked into a clearing, a large willow tree stood in the middle, its long branches covered with deep blue leaves that hung down to the ground. Creating a curtain around it. Jerome led her through the tree, and dropped the umbrella. It was completely dry, the tree protected them. And there, in the middle, was a candlelight dinner.

The table was covered in a white cloth, two chairs prepared, the food hot, and two candles in the middle. They sat down and Mara couldn't help but a smile "You really are a romantic softie aren't you?" she teased, taking a sip of hot chocolate. Jerome rolled his eyes

"We haven't had a candlelit dinner before, I thought, why not?"

"You spoil me," she sighed "You didn't have to do this," she shook her head "I love you without all these fancy ideas and gifts, and gestures. You don't need to impress me anymore, Jerome. I love you,"

"I enjoy spoiling you," he whispered, taking her hand and leading them out of the willow tree. The rain soaked them almost immediately.

"Jerome!" Mara cried, she looked up at him, and he pressed his lips to hers.

Mara had heard about it, heard Amber go on and on about it, read about it, seen it on movies and tv shows. But she never thought she would actually do it. She was kissing Jerome Clarke, in the rain. And it was more than perfect.

The strange thing was, the rain didn't make a difference.

Every kiss with him was like that.

He pulled away from her, placing on hand on her waist, intwining the other with hers "If I may have this dance?"

"But of course," she giggled, and the two of them spun in the grass and the rain. Their clothes soaked, their hair drenched, their shoes muddy, but it didn't matter. Jerome raised his hand to brush a stray piece of hair from her face. And he became sombre.

"You are so beautiful," he whispered. Mara blushed

"You're pretty dashing yourself," she said quietly, leaning onto her tiptoes, to kiss him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and wished she could stay like this forever.
