I looked
through the window as the rain fell on the bushes outside. Next to me,
she smiled and I kissed her sweetly. The rain was pouring down heavier
than ever. Lightening lit up the window as thunder roared from afar. She
seemed to be scared, so I tried to comfort her. I held her closer and
gently touched her long, blonde hair. I kissed her on the cheek, and
watched she blushes.
I got up to draw the curtains together; that would make her feel more
secure. The cold wind made me sneeze as I cuddled back into bed. She
lay there lovely and I pushed back her hair and found she
had already fallen asleep in my arms. Her beautiful face radiated the
energy of youth and happiness. I kissed her again and again.
She was disturbed
by the approaching footsteps. In the distance it sounded like a hungry
bear searching for food. In the dark, I could hardly see anything. I
strained my ears to listen. The footsteps stopped. 」 Nothing is
outside,」 I told her. She lay down again to sleep. Then the door
opened quietly and lightening lit up the room.

On the high way you pulled the glasses back to
cramp you black hair. You felt weird because of the fast-changing
weather. The years had wrinkled you hands though your face was still
young. Intentional make-ups and just-bought Jewry made you sexy as 20.
You persuaded yourself that wasn』t true, but it helped none. As you
drove near, you started to worry. And suddenly you realized that was
wholly true. Stepping out of the car, you walked toward the apartment.
The heavy rain splashed everything on your new skirt. The dirty water,
stormy weather, and a black cat walking in front of you seemed to mean
something. But you wouldn』t think of it. You still believed no gossip.
However it drove your desire to know more.The small dirty place scared
you at first, but nothing could stop you. You pushed open the gate; the
sounds of the rusty hinges made the place seem creepier. You tried to
tread lightly, but your soaked shoes gave off a strange sound with every
step you took. The wind blew through your hair. You felt something
was following you and suddenly turned around to look. There was nothing
but the raindrops. In the distance, you felt the power drawing you
closer and closer.

You pushed through the door and found I was
naked with her.
