There is a scream from across the street and when both of us turn to see I am more amazed at the scene developing across the street. A very beautiful and dark blonde woman is beating three guys up. She kicks one in the balls and he falls grunting in the floor in pain, the second one gets knocked out by a high kick to the face and she turns to the third with a threatening posture.
?-If you don't want to end up like them step away and out of my way.
He lifts his hands submissively and she passes him without looking back. I keep looking at her as she goes up her horse and away. I want to go after her but I got to do something first so I turn back to the voice of reason.
-Hold that hook up for a while. I want to do something first.
She nods in understanding and going up my horse I speed up to catch her on her horse.
I pass her and going around her until I'm at her side I speak.
-Hey, hi, I......I saw what you did back there.
?-So?
-I wanted to help you deal with them.........
?-I don't need any man defending me.
I clear my throat and she's not even looking at me.
-I can tell. That's why I'm amazed maybe, you're strong. You're a strong woman.......
?-Why is that so bad for you?
-Is not bad, I think it was amazing. I think maybe we could be friends.
?-I don't know you, why would I be your friend?
-Well, you can get to know me and then you can tell me if I'm your friend or if you don't want to I'll leave you alone.
?-Why do you want to be my friend?
-Well, I don't know how to say this but, I find you, interesting and I get the feeling that you're a good woman. If you allow me we can try to be friends.
?-We could try.
She looks at me and she looks me up and down.
?-You seem like a good guy. Let's give it a try then. Let's be friends.

-Alright then, my name is Dwight, I'm 21 and I live about an hour away from town but to the other side of this road. My favorite color is blue, I like classic stuff that have meaning, poetry, my brother says I like drama but I say is thoughtful romance. I also like water stuff. Yeah, that about covers it all.
?-Well, I'm Dorothy, I'm 19, my favorite color is silver. I like to enjoy moments, like watching a full moon at night, the sunset or enjoy the wind in my hair. I like horses and animals. Although I like to enjoy things as much as I can and relax I also like to work hard to get my own things and enjoy them even more.
-I like animals too. This is Purity, she's my best friend.
Do-This is Thunder.
-Why did you name him Thunder?
Do-Because he scared me when I first got him, like thunder. Now I don't fear him or thunder, as much as before, why did you named her Purity?
-Because she's what I'm not.
Do-What you're not?
-Innocent and pure.
She actually laughs at that and I smile as I like her laugh.
Do-So you're not virgin anymore?
-I guess I'm not. Are you?
Do-I am but, how are you not sure if you're a virgin or not?
-The only woman I had sex with reached pleasure way too fast and she fell asleep right afterwards. Suddenly everything was over and I had to finish alone. Let's change the topic.
Do-Sure, things we don't like then.
-Fair.
Do-I don't like dishonesty, I'm not a big fan of rain but I enjoy it sometimes. I hate dishonesty and my animals getting hurt.
-I hate when people play with me and hurt me. I hate dishonesty.
Do-I fear thunder as I said before but maybe I fear other things that I don't know. Do you have any fears?
-I do but you got to promise not to tell.
Do-Cross my heart.
-I'm afraid of love or, more accurately, take the chance to love again.
Do-Again? Can you tell me what happened?
-She, she cheated on me. We fought and I went to her apartment to fix things, talk and sort things out and I caught her in bed with someone else, I asked for an explanation and she broke up with me, kicked me out of there and we never spoke again. Is been three years ever since.
Do-I got something similar myself. My ex tried to rape me, I ran away and the next day he came to talk and we talked calmly, he broke up with me because I wanted to reserve my purity for when I was sure it was something serious, I guess I wasn't ready.
-You were friends with benefits without the benefit part.
That makes her laugh and she gives me a playful bump on the shoulder.
Do-So, I got a question.
-Sure.
Do-Did your ex cheated on you after or before she had sex with you?
-Actually, my first and only time having sex was at a sex club when I was 16, I met her two years later and I never slept with her, I respected her and she slept with another man. Guess she too was an, um, easy woman.
Do-And dumb, she threw away a man like you. She's really dumb and blind.
-Why?
Do-You treated her nice, you respected her, you're good looking, well behaved and so very handsome. You're very charming. You're cute and adorable.
-You think I'm cute and adorable.
Do-I speak the truth. I'm growing fond of you.
-I like you.
Do-Thanks but if you manhandle me I'll cut your hands off.
-Can I touch you with my eyes?
Do-If I'm allowed to do the same with you.
-Then we have a deal of mutual admiration.
Do-Try to be subtle about it, I don't like staring too much either for too long.
-I can try, can you?
Do-We can try.
-Deal.
We shake hands and I take a bold step and kiss the back of her hand respectfully before I let go of her and I catch a glimpse of a blush. Before i can ask her about it it starts to rain with thunder and lightning.

We share a look and pulling the strings we both turn and run our horses top speed. After a bit we find a small hut and is big enough to fit us and both our horses. The unoccupied space is small but is big enough. I take off my jacket and I offer it to her.
-The rain is cold. This will keep you warm for now.
She reaches out to it and she hesitates a bit before she takes it and slides it on around her shoulders. I take a moment to look at her as I sit on a corner away from her. She has tight light blue jeans, red cowgirl boots and a red squared patterned shirt that matches it. Her dark blonde braid falls to the side of her shoulder and her hat is passionate red like the boots and shirt. She looks at me and I get nervous and look outside at the rain again.
Do-It looks like is going to keep raining for tonight at least.
-I know.
Do-Here, you can have this back, I have to get home and change so I don't get sick.
She hands me the jacket but I smile.
-You can keep it to protect you from the rain. You can give it back next time. I don't mind.
Do-Seriously?
-Yeah, go ahead, take it. You can give it back when you want. Go ahead, take it home with you. If I'm being honest, I'll miss you more than the jacket.
Do-And is a good excuse to meet again.
-Didn't crossed my head.
She laughs and putting the jacket back on she hugs me softly but before I can hug her back she backs away and sticking her tongue out at me she goes on her black horse again.
Do-Come on Thunder, let's go home.
I see how she disappears on the horizon before I do the same with Purity and I go but I go slowly enjoying getting wet with the rain. I would use my aura to control the water and make it not get me wet but I actually want to get wet, like swimming or taking a shower.

When I get home I ride Purity straight to the stables and I get her comfortable on her stall.
-Purity, she is amazing. Do you think she's the right girl for me?
She whines yes and I laugh.
-Well, I leave you to rest now. Have sweet dreams.
I kiss her nose and leaving her a sack of hay I go to the house with no rush or desire to rush out of the rain. I open the door and the warmth of the house and the smell of food invites me in and I enjoy it. I only take off my boots and leave it by the door and being barefooted and jacketless I go in the kitchen to get food.
Dy-Look who finally shows up?
-What? You can't live without me.
Dy-Why are you wet?
-I was out. Finny, how was work today?
Fi-Smooth. Nothing to worry about.
-Good. What's for dinner?
Fi-In the microwave.
I take the microwave handle and I look at him.
Fi-Rice with fried eggs.
I smile and opening the microwave I see exactly that's what it is. I take it and showing it to him I speak.
-Finnian, what's wrong with this?
Fi-Is cold.
-What do you see in my plate?
Fi-A rice with a fried egg on it.
-Precisely that's the problem. The egg.
Fi-You wanted it scrambled instead?
-No. There is one egg there. I like them eggs, you hear that? Eggs, emphasis on the s at the end of eggs. But that's ok, I'm feeling good today so I'll let your mistake slide.
Fi-Thanks, I guess. Why do I get the impression that I'm looking at the warmest ray of sunshine on the rain right now?
-Or the cold iceberg that sank the titanic. What a tragic end, the poor guy is still at the bottom of the ocean or whatever's left of him.
Fi-I will end up keeping him company if I forget to give you more food.
-Got it on the first try. Impressive.
Fi-Where is your jacket?
-Two strikes in less than five minutes, you hold record.
Fi-I really hope you choke with your egg.
-Third strike and an out.
Fi-You really are in a good mood.
-Why would you think otherwise?
Fi-You're wet, you got little food, you don't have your jacket and I just insulted you and you're not angry at me, not even in the slightest.
-You did said I was a warm ray of sunshine.
Fi-You really are confusing me.
Dy-Take a break. Dwight, can you get a towel and dry off a bit?
-Why? I feel good like this. I'm soaking and I like it.
Dy-Just dry off.
I look at him as he grabs my wrist.
Dy-Please.
I sigh and brushing his hand off I take a deep breath and the water comes off from me, I exhale and moving my hand I push it together and to the sink before I turn to my brother now dry.
-Happy?
Dy-Comfortable would be more accurate.
-Then enjoy it, because you just ruined my good mood, brother.
With that I get up and I go up to my room and to sleep.
