A Kiss in the Rain

Sometimes romantic moments come up spontaneously, they're best not planned.

A boyfriend and I had gone to see a very charming Shakespeare play, "Much Ado About Nothing," and we were walking in the park, enjoying the quietness and the magic that seemed to be in the air.

We stopped by the fountain, and he gave me a gentle, tentative kiss. His tentativeness, rather than impetuousness, seemed to imply, 'are you okay with this'?

I was. So I kissed him in turn. Just then, it began to sprinkle. Did we let a little rain spoil the moment? No, we continued to enjoy that sweet moment, even when the rain turned into a downpour. Our kiss became deeper and more passionate, even as we both became drenched!

Eventually, the two of us went to his place where I donned his robe and he a sweat outfit, and I made some hot chocolate and we talked.

I still remember it as one of the most romantic experiences in my teen life. I hope you have your own sweet memories of your own.

(I thought I would write something romantic in honor of this Valentine's Day, instead of my usual tongue in cheek stuff. I hope it is okay by you.)
