Rain
-----

Helen rushed to the hallway as she heard the front door.
“Nikki, where the hell have you been?! You’re drenched!”
Nikki grinned at her confused partner. She had gone for a walk a few minutes ago, just as the storm began. Helen thought she was mad.
The thunder crackled again outside and Helen was about to fetch a towel out of the cupboard when Nikki grabbed her hand.
“I went for a walk in the rain,” Nikki stated unnecessarily, still grinning. She pushed her hand up her forehead, moving the hair from her eyes.
“You’re insane, Wade,” Helen admonished, wrapping her arms round Nikki’s wet waist and rubbing some warmth into her back. “You’re going to get pneumonia.”
Nikki ignored her warning. “Have you never gone for a good walk in the rain?” Nikki asked her, seemingly surprised.
“No, Nikki, I haven’t,” Helen replied, bemused. “That’s what umbrellas are for. And cars, and buses, and taxis.”
Not put off, Nikki gripped her hand again. “Come on,” she smiled, tugging Helen toward the door.
“Oh no, no you don’t. I’m quite happy here, indoors, where it’s dry and… Nikki, stop it…!”
Helen laughed as she was manhandled toward the door by her dripping lover.
“Come on, Helen, you only live once. It’s just water!”
Nikki stopped, her arms still around Helen’s waist as she lowered her head and kissed her soundly on the lips. Helen once felt herself being overwhelmed by Nikki Wade. It was a familiar feeling, one she used to resist, but not any more. Nikki’s passion was infectious. She kissed her back, feeling Nikki’s strong arms round her, sensing all of the taller woman’s attention was focused solely on kissing her. It was liberating, knowing Nikki sometimes.
“Come take a walk with me,” Nikki suggested, still smiling.
“You’re mad!” Helen stated as they parted.
“Please?”
“I’m not really dressed for walking through London,” Helen protested, although she felt her resolve weakening in the face of her partner’s enthusiasm.
Nikki shrugged, taking in Helen’s casual jeans, frayed at the bottom from being dragged on the ground, and the comfortable zip-up hooded top she often wore around the house. “It doesn’t matter what you wear, you’re gonna be drenched in a few minutes anyway. Everyone else will be too busy trying to get indoors to consider your fashion choices.”
“I can’t believe I’m doing this,” Helen said with a sigh. Nikki’s grin widened as she grabbed for her keys, shoving them into her pocket, and tugged Helen out into the thunderstorm, the front door swinging shut behind them.
Helen let out a small shriek as Nikki ran down the front garden, pulling her by the hand. They made it to the pavement out of breath, and Helen was already considerably wet. She squinted at Nikki through the rain.
“At what point does this become fun?” she asked, although a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth despite the question. Nikki pulled her lover’s folded arms away from her chest and began walking down the road toward the entrance to the park.
“Relax!” she said.
Helen peered at her apprehensively, glancing upward at the heavy rain clouds, and Nikki laughed. She was adorable.
As they reached the park gates, which were hooked wide open, Nikki turned round to face her partner, walking slowly backwards up the path.
Helen pulled her hands out of Nikki’s, pushing them deep into her back pockets.
“You have to let yourself get wet,” Nikki told her.
“It isn’t really a matter of choice,” Helen replied wryly.
“You’re still trying not to get wet,” Nikki explained. “Accept that you’re going to be drenched in just a few minutes, let it happen.”
Nikki stopped walking.
“Look at that lightening!” Nikki enthused. “Listen to the thunder! Come on, right now, look up at the sky with me. Lose yourself in it!”
Nikki turned her face up to the clouds and felt the heavy rain pelt her face. It was cooling, pleasantly so after such a hot summer’s day. Helen saw her close her eyes and reach her arms out either side of her, almost inviting the storm to do its worst.
What the hell, Helen thought as she, too, tilted her head backwards. She saw a lightening bolt dazzle across the sky, through the clouds. It was stunning. She’d never really watched a storm before now. The dark clouds seemed to draw shapes, reforming constantly.
She realised she had now progressed from very damp to dripping wet, and relaxed. She may as well get truly drenched, right down to her underwear level of wet – she’d have to change anyway. Heeding Nikki’s advice, she let herself get wet.
Nikki opened her eyes and saw her partner relax, looking up at the sky. Helen looked back downwards as she watched, blowing rainwater off her mouth, looking like a drowned rat, and laughing. Nikki laughed too.
Nikki grabbed her hand, pulling her across the deserted park.
“I’ve never been here when it’s empty,” Helen remarked.
“Another advantage of walking in the rain,” Nikki replied.
Helen stopped walking, tugging Nikki’s hand so that she turned around to face her. She reached up to the back of Nikki’s neck, tangling her fingers through her wet hair, and kissed her deeply.
“What was that for?” Nikki asked breathlessly, surprised, as they parted. Helen saw her blinking raindrops from her eyelashes and thought she’d never looked so beautiful.
“Thank you for making me come outside,” Helen replied, smiling at her.
Nikki’s palm came to rest at the side of the smaller woman’s face as she leant to kiss her again. “I haven’t… yet,” she replied, unzipping Helen’s hooded top. Helen didn’t stop her – her bra was already drenched below it anyway, and there wasn’t a soul in sight.
“You haven’t what?” she asked as they parted a millimetre or so, confused by Nikki’s comment.
“Made you come…” Nikki replied, kissing her again, “Outside,” she finished with a glint in her eye as her hand found itself sliding below the open fastening of Helen’s jeans. Helen looked down – how were her jeans open? She was about to protest about the public nature of things, but Nikki’s fingers, pressed against her most intimate place, turned her words into a soft moan. She let her jeans fall a little way down her thighs, granting her lover unrestricted access to her body, opening her mouth wider against Nikki’s and feeling the taller woman’s tongue caress her own.
Helen pulled them both to the ground, failing to notice or care that the wet grass was now staining her jeans, or that it was a public park anybody could walk into at any time.
Nikki’s body covered hers and Helen’s fingers made quick work of the buttons on her black work shirt, her hands roaming possessively around her torso as they continued to kiss.
She pulled her lips away from Nikki’s as she felt her strong fingers enter her, pushing deep inside of her and curling up to press insistently against the place that made her moan, her thumb pressing against the sensitive bundle of nerves just above.
Her head swam but she found enough focus to undo the tailored Armani trousers Nikki was currently ruining, and mirror her lover’s actions. She rolled Nikki onto her back on the grass, once again feeling the rain hit her, now that Nikki’s body wasn’t shielding her from it.
They kissed deeply as practiced hands pushed one another fervently toward climax, rolling back and forth on the grass, almost fighting one another for the right to pin the other down. Helen cracked first, feeling pleasure well up in the pit of her stomach as she allowed Nikki to top her and use all of her body to force her hand forwards, her fingers thrusting into her so hard it almost hurt… almost…
“Oh, God…” she gasped against Nikki’s mouth, trying to kiss her but not having enough air. “Yes…” her whole body tensed as she surrendered to the most powerful orgasm she thought she had ever felt. Pleasure flooded through her, beginning between her legs and spreading rapidly to the rest of her. Breathing hard, she opened her eyes and found Nikki looking down at her, breathing hard, water dripping from her hair and her nose.
“Oh, God, I love you,” she breathed as she flipped the taller woman onto her back to finish what she’d started. Nikki came within seconds, and Helen withdrew her hand from her trousers and collapsed onto the ground beside her, exhausted.
The cool rain soothed her hot skin, from her face all the way down to her open jeans, and she turned her head to look at her lover. Nikki was already looking back at her, and Helen broke into a wide smile, and Nikki couldn’t help but grin back.
As they lay there, the rain eased off, slowly coming to an end. They watched as the clouds slowly moved away to drench another place, and a rainbow formed above the tree line.
“Thank you for making me come outside,” Helen said again, and this time Nikki didn’t have a retort. They began to laugh, at the absurdity of it all, as they lay side by side, drenched and muddy. Nikki Wade certainly brought out the sense of adventure in her, Helen thought. And she was glad.



End.

Vey nice and well written, thanks for posting!

you know what I love about your writing style? You pay such attention to detail. I love all the little plays on words and all the little added imagery you throw in to make the story really three dimensional. I also love how committed you are to the dialogue you write. Your commitment to their words shows through immensely and creates this really natural flow that’s so easy and pleasurable to read.

I thought your love scene was well done too. You did a great job of transcending what’s common while still keeping it completely sweet and most definitely hot. Very unique. Very awesome.

Thank you so much for posting this vignette. It was brilliant.

Now if only it would rain… I’d so totally take a walk in it.

Xoxo

Thank you so much for your kind words, Emms! They mean a lot, I really appreciate any and all comments and feedback people choose to give.

And thank you to the other 31 silent readers for taking a look at the story... or the 1 other of you who read it 31 times, whatever :-p I hope at least some of you enjoyed it. It's quite overwhelming to see that people are looking at the story, even if they didn't want to leave a comment. Thanks :)

:wub: :wub: Thanks Terri loved the story, I always love your work< I been rereading yours in the archives and enjoying them once more. :wub: :wub:

that's the only way to enjoy a rain storm,with someone you love.I always thought that getting drenched in a storm , stripped away all a persons layers,made them vulnerable.It's akin to standing naked in front of the one you are going to be with for the first time.And if your lucky,everytime from there on.Bravo,I could read you all day!!! :clap

OMG! Two delights for one.

First, there's your story. Just let me say that when I saw your moniker as the author of a new story, I couldn't click fast enough. I began salivating before reading the first word. I haven't stopped yet.

You are a wonderful short story author. You reveal so much in such a tight format. Well done … again.

Second, there's Emms reply. Her avatar says it all. She is such a thoughtful reader and writer. All I can say about her reply is: “Spot on. Ditto. Yeah, me too.” Ignore more drool.

Thank you for sharing.

Signed,

Your Exuberant Fan
