Chapter Three- Rain

When I got home was really cold. Started raining abruptly, the thunders were so loud that made the walls shaking. I ran to the bath and took a shower before a blackout. I had a glass of hot milk and sat on the sofa. I took the phone and dial my mum.

"Hello?" She said.
"Hi Mum! How are you?"
"I'm good and you honey?"
"I'm fine mum, is raining so much here... So... about sunday...We are going, right?" I asked slowly.
"I think so... I want to, but maybe Carl's mum will be visiting us and I probably would have to stay here, but next sunday is ok for you?" Carl is my mum's boyfriend. She separated from my father about 5 years ago.
"Yeah... I was calling to say to you that my friend would go with me... Are you sure she'll came?"
"Is almost sure son. Look throught the bright side... You can go with your friend. I promise you we can go next sunday ok?"
"Ok mum... I love you!"
"Me too"
"Good night!" I said.
"Good night, anything call me!"
"Ok"

I was happy and sad that my mum wouldn't come. I was happy as I would be alone with Josh, but I really wanted to spend a day with my mum.
I drank my milk and watched The Office. When I realized were already morning.





It was lunch time again and I went to the City of fruits the diner that Josh's father own.
I wake up that morning and took a long bath, shaved, put some nice clothes and used my favorite perfume. I was happier then ever, tomorrow I would find out the place that Josh wants to show me.

"Hi!" He said with his crooked smile.
"Hi!" I said with a large smile.
"So, I see you survived the rain" He laughed.
"Barely" I said laughing.
"So you need someone to take care of you" He said.
"Yeah... maybe" I laughed again.
"So, let me see... Strawberry?"
"You own!!!"
"I knew it!"
"So Josh, tomorrow you're gonna show me your secret place, right?"
"Yeah! Why?"
"Nothing... remember I said I would take my mum there too?"
"Yeah..."
"So... something came up and she can't go, so you'll have to stay with me" I said laughing.
"I think I can survive..." He laughed too.
"Can't you tell me what it is?" I asked him while he made the juice.
"Nope. I want to surprise you." He said with his charm crooked smile.
"All right"I said.
"So... You you are so scented" He said embarrassed.
"Thank you! It's my favorite one!" I said smiling.
"So, what you're gonna do tonight?"
"I promised go to the theather with my friend, why?"
"Nothing... I would ask you to watch a film, but never mind, you can go with your friend. I think we're going to have plenty films to watch, right?" He said bashful.
"Definitely"

I drank my juice and we cuddle and for the first time I could smell his scent. Was fresh. Lovely.
I said good bye once again and drove to the store.


Kirsten and I watched Juno then we had dinner at The French Connection. I liked our little date, but I couldn't stop think of Josh. Tomorrow I would have a whole day alone with him.
