Rain came pouring
Harry's POV
A week since our first date, I couldn't even believe I was dating the most beautiful girl in the world ( well for me she was). I still remember that sheepish and introverted Natalie, the first day I met her at school. Man I would have never thought I would fall for her. She being the perfect girl, there could ever be and me being well me, overconfident, arrogant and what not.
My love for her grew every single day, as I watched her grow into a beautiful and confident woman. Well she still might be shy, may be introverted, and apprehensive, but what she is not anymore is fearful. She still is the same person, she was when I met her. But I know now she can take care of herself, even if I am not there. Not that I plan on leaving.
Visits to Natalie's home was becoming kind of a regular thing now, because we were studying together and dating. Her elder brother was dating my elder sister, and to my surprise the date we went on last week was arranged by The Noah Peters. Not weird at all right.... RIGHT!!.
Anyway one of these days Natalie called me up and told me to meet her in the library, kind of our spot. As usual, when I reached there she was seated with a huge pile of books. When it comes to studying she is such a control freak. I had never seen someone so obsessed with studying.
"Nat?"
" Hey, you came!"
"Offcourse I came love!!! What's up?"
"Nothing it's just senior year, and..."
"And? you don't have to be nervous about senior year, make some mistakes, break some rules."
"Hmm...." she thought for a moment and comtinued..."I wrote you these notes for Econ, and also Bio."
"But classes did not even start?"
"Yeah, But I made my own, and senior year grades matter to get into good Universities, So here you go."
Taking the notes I replied, "Fine... as you say madam."
"So I was wondering if you need a tutor in calculus, I could tutor you."
"Uhmm no... I am fine."
"Really are you though??"
"Yes Nat I am fine."
"Cuz the last time we had an exam... you were looking at the paper as though it was Greek and Latin."
What the hell!!! How does she even know that?
I smiled sheepishly at her to which she retorted with a wide grin. After exchanging our happy gestures, we got back to studying.
About 30 minutes later
"So ready to go home?" I asked Natalie.
"Umm yeah ..let's go."
We walked towards our car.
"Um Harry can we walk."
"Nat our homes our like blocks away." Saying that I realized what kind of a dumb, and extraordinarily stupid person I was being. She obviously wanted to spend time with me. Yeah it had to be that.
Because by car it would take minutes, whereas if we were to walk back home, it would take us probably thirty minutes more or less. So yeah Harry you are an idiot. Your girl wants to spend time with you, But you are dumb even to realize it.
While I was thinking all this, I saw her looking at me patiently waiting for something to say.
"Nat if you want we can walk home."
"Really." She was ecstatic, and I could sense it in her blissful expression.
She held my left hand with her right one, while I carried her bag of books on my right shoulder.
It was a cloudy evening with no stars to gaze in the sky, the moon had also hid itself, although I could see my moon, walking beside me. She tried to hide her face and look away, every time I held her closer to me. My heart started beating very fast every time I did that, it was as though the time moved too fast, but both of us stood there undisturbed.
We were about to reach my home , and were just a block away, when it started to drizzle.
"Harry it's raining!!!"
"Yes Nat I can see that."
"Don't you like the rain?"
"No! You?"
"Me I love the rain, every time it rains the fragrance of the soil, it's just breathtaking. But that's not even the best part."
"Then what is?" I frowned.
"Getting wet in the rain." She said pulling us both , out of the bus stop we were standing. So that both of us could actually get wet.
"Nat what are you doing?"
"Getting wet. C'mon Harry."
I ran back to the shade, but she pulled me by the hands and in front of her.
"Will you dance with me?"
"Dance.Here ..in the rain???" I doubted is this my Natalie's and questioned "Are you ok Nat?"
"Yes Harry I am fine, just breaking the rules."
Before I could even say anything,she pulled me by my hand, intertwined our fingers, my eyes were set to her entangled hands, she pulled up my chin so I could look her in the eyes , and started waltzing in the middle of the road. I knew at that moment we would look like two idiot Dancing in the rain, without any music, but for the both of us, it was a piece of 'our everything', 'our forever'.
I enjoyed the way we were dancing. The heavy rain turned to mere drizzle and finally droplets. We paused . Breathed heavily. I looked her in the eyes she smiled staring at the ground her cheeks had turned red. We stood there with my hands on her waist , she tangled her hands round my neck her head placed on my chest and my chin resting on her head. We swayed and I kept running my hands through her hair while she stood there with her eyes closed conveniently amused.
She looled at me and said, "What's that face?"
"What face?" I replied not knowing what she actually. I returned back to the smiling that I was doing finally thankful to God to have somebody like her to call mine.
She pulled me down again and said,
"That face!!"
Pointing out to my sly smirk.
"I'm happy." I said.
We were happy in our silent everything when not cars, not humans, not animals, but a small object i.e., my phone ruined it. Like I was having the time of my life man you didnt have to do that.
"Pick that up."
I pulled out the phone from my pocket rubbed it on my shirt like as Naomi said an idiot would do and continued.
"Hello?" I tried to be polite.
"Shut up,freak . You ruined the mood man." It was a creepy ass customer care officer.
"Who is that?" She said holding on to my shirt.
I smiled and put her hand back to my neck where it belonged and said, "Nobody. Lets continue."
She got back to her senses and realised that we had literally been dancing all the while and her clothes had gotten wet and she couldn't go home like that,"Oh fudge no Harry. I've got to go home its late."
I didnt stop swaying as if I didn't care but gave a grand smile and said,"GOOD MORINING LOVE, HAPPY REALISATION. "
She tried to get rid of my strong hold saying,"Dont . Harry. "
She went back to the bus stop to bring her bag . She looked happy.
"We'll go to our place first, change and then go home."
"But..." she interrupted.
"Chill Nat, I've got this same t shirt and gemma has this similar jeans. Mrs. Peter 's wouldn't notice."
Natalie's POV.
Harry tried to open the lock of the door quickly,
"Get in fast or you'll get sick you need to change." He said.
"Yeah yeah."
We entered the house, he was behind me.
"WHAT THE....."
It was Noah at his place. It was not a big thing for Noah to be there but after what I saw I stood there with my eyes wide open .
Noah was on the couch over Gemma they still had some of their clothes on,thankfully. I couldn't understand what just happened.
My brother had his face ducked under Gemma's shoulder. The sound of the door closing and Gemma's scream was what made him stand on his feet.
"Natalie."
No matter what I could never imagine somebody like Noah doing that. I mean of course I knew they made out but I didn't actually have to witness them doing it.
He hurried and wore his t shirt and Gemma ran up to her room covering herself up with the sheet they both were covered in.
"Nat." Harry caught me by the shoulder.
"Ye..ye...s" . I stuttered.
"Let's go you need to change remember?"
"Ye yeahh.."
We walked upstairs to his room.
He gave me his shirt and Gemma's jeans which was in his room for no apparent reasons.
He gave me the clothes and I used his washroom to change I came out and was blow drying my hair, trying to look as neat as possible when Harry popped up a question.
"What just happened?"
I tried to look at him through the mirror and say,"What?"
"You froze."
"I didn..."
He pointed at me,"Don't even dare to."
As if he knew I was about to lie.
"Okay. I saw my brother making out with his girlfriend who is my boyfriend's sister. "
"So?"
"Nothing, I shouldn't have been there. That was awkward."
"Oh so.... you're upset because of your presence and not their act."
"No. What? why? Would you think that. Isn't that pretty obvious they have been dating for over four years. "
"I thought the Indian inside you woke up."
"Shut up."
