Juliet was returning home from work and had her umbrella with her... she had seen the weather forecast and saw that there was about seventy percent chance that it would rain, so she picked her mom's favourite umbrella and she immediately opened it when she saw that the rain was about to start... She started to walk towards her house and took the route where the park was... Her new favourite spot, and then she spotted someone... when she got closer... He was sitting under the rain and not moving... She immediately recognised him "Alex" She said and hurriedly walked to where he was so she could cover him with her umbrella... Why was he sitting under the rain and now getting up... Alex slowly raised his head when he didn't feel the rain anymore, and he sighted an umbrella... "Why are you sitting under rain... are you trying to catch a cold? " He heard a familiar, soothing voice and saw her face... She was here... A slight smile immediately appeared on his face, and juliet let out a deep sigh. "Please get up," She said and held his arm... But Alex still remained seated, his eyes not leaving hers... she was again, and her presence was the most soothing thing ever... it warmed his cold heart, and he wanted to hold her in his arms so he could get warmed... "Alex!" Juliet said, he was like a book to her, but the book was In a foreign language which she was trying to translate, but she could only find a bit of its translation and not all... That was exactly how she felt about him... He finally stood up when he saw the rain water touching her shoulder. He didn't want her to get wet or catch a cold because of him... "You are completely wet," She said to him, her eyes filled with concern... "You should have found a place to hide till the rain stopped," She said to him and tried to make sure the umbrella was covering his body well. He needed it more than her... "Here you can have my umbrella, I can run all the way home" Juliet said and gestured for him to take the umbrella from her, because she was sure he had his car parked near by... But Alex had taken a taxi after wandering around for a while... "You can return it back to me later," She said, but he still didn't take the umbrella from her... "I didn't bring my car, we can share it till you get to house," Alex said, and juliet just stared at him... it was hard to get a taxi around here.... he had to walk to the bus stop and wait.. Now that it was raining, he would have to wait longer... He could catch a cold... she could see water dripping from his hair and how wet his clothes were... Maybe he could dry up in her place and wait til the rain stopped, then he could leave.... "Let's just go to my place," She suggested... "it's close by, and you can't get a taxi from here... you can dry up at my place. and then leave, " She quickly added, and Alex accepted her offer... He took the umbrella from her hand because he could stand the sight of her shoulder getting wet because he didn't want him to get wet... They both started to walk, and Juliet kept glancing at him... His clothes were still getting wet because of the space between the both of them... "You can move closer so you won't get wet," She said in a low voice... Alex turned to look at her and smile slightly again... then he moved closer to her... and they both continued her walk to her house in silence... They finally arrived at her place, and Alex held the umbrella over her head as she unlocked the door... she turned to look at him and gestured for him to come into her house... Alex closed the umbrella and handed it to her... he walked into her house, and his eyes fell on the couch that he had fallen asleep on the previous night... "Why didn't you wake me up this morning when you were leaving, I was worried when I woke up and didn't see you," Juliet said as she took off her shoes... "You were fast asleep, and I didn't want to disturb... I was also late for work, " He explained, and she nodded. "You can drop this in the kitchen, I will be right back with some towels." He handed the umbrella back to him, and Alex headed to her kitchen... He dropped it and stood there waiting for her to come with the towel... why was his heart racing... he swallowed and took a deep breath... It is still raining outside, but it was reducing... He would leave after she brought the towels, he decided... She came into the kitchen a minute later and handed the towels in her hand to him... "Thank you," Alex said and used it to dry his hair and clothes... Juleit stood there watching him... she watched as a single drop of water dropped from his wet her and her lips slightly parted... Her face was flushed as she started at him... Her heart is pumping so fast in her chest... all that filled and occupied his mind was her... Alex swallowed again when his eyes fell on her lip.. He wanted to walk to her and kiss her till she was breathless and moaning out his name in desire...... the thoughts were so overwhelming, and he knew he had to leave before he acted on these overwhelming thoughts... "I should get going. The rain has almost stopped..." Alex said after he was done, and he dropped the towels on the kitchen cabinets... stil clothes and hair were still wet bit it was better now... "Okay," Juliet said in a low voice, and he nodded... He walked past her but froze in his tracks when he felt her hand on his arms... juliet heart pumped fast in her chest and she followed her heart and said in a soft and low voice... "Please don't go..." Her voice echoed in his ears..
