One August afternoon, it started raining heavily while Lucy and I were returning from university. Lucy loved rains. She looked at the water droplets falling from the yet sunny sky, on the street. People ran here and there, covering themselves with their books, hands ,and getting inside the nearest shelter they could manage. Most of them went inside the cafes that were there in that place. The street was empty in seconds.

"Doc. stop the car", Lucy said, all of a sudden.

"What? why?", I asked, worried.

"Stop the car , Blake", she repeated. I parked the car in the side and looked at her. She grinned and opened the door. "What are you-", I began , just as Lucy ran into the middle of the street and spread her hands in the air. I looked at her, perplexed. I grabbed the umbrella and ran towards her.

"Are you mad?", I said, placing the umbrella above her head.

"Blake", she said, slowly.

"Yeah"

"Give me the umbrella", she said. I nodded, giving her the umbrella, satisfied from the fact that she had agreed not to get wet, without any argument.She took the umbrella and threw it behind her. I stared at her, as my jaw dropped. She laughed.

"Now, you can finally enjoy the rain", she said, spinning around. I stood there, getting drenched and watching her get drenched in the rain.

"You're totally crazy", I said. She laughed. "I know, doc. But, I'm crazier about you ", she said, looking into my eyes. I smiled.

"I am, too", I said. I picked her up by her waist and spun her in the air. She laughed , loudly. People looked at us, from the cafes and from under the trees. I looked at them and smiled. They might have thought we were a love-struck pair, a crazy love-struck pair. But I didn't care. I slowly put her down, and she smiled at me, her eyes twinkling in joy all the time. Her smile was all that mattered to me.

The lightning struck and she looked up at the sky. After a while, she said : "I love that".

I winced. "You love the lightning?"

"No, silly, I love that", she said, gesturing towards the rainbow that had formed in the sky. I smiled.

"Yeah, it's beautiful", I said.

That night, at 12 a.m. I got a text from Lucy.

"Awake?"

I smiled and typed . "Nope"

"Not getting sleep :( "

"Had too much coffee again?"

"Too much. And don't pretend you didn't. Because, obviously, you're wide awake and talking to me."

I laughed. "Wanna come over?"

"At this time?"

"Off course you can. Come right away. ", I typed.

"Roger, Doc."

I went downstairs to open the door. Lucy ran from her house to mine in the dark street, and tip-toed inside , until we reached my room.

We sat down on the bed, and smiled.

"You look so cute , with your hair like that. Messed up.", she said, smiling.

"And sometimes I wonder whether my girlfriend's normal", I said, laughing.

"Yeah, very funny", she said, punching my arm. "By the way.."

"Yeah"

"I've got something for you ", she said, taking out a small box from her pocket and handing it over to me. I slowly unwrapped it , and Lucy looked at me , anticipated. A black shinning wrist -watch lay inside it .

"Thank you", I said, smiling, as I took it out of the box. She got up from the bed and smiled at me. "I just thought of giving you something. Since you've given me everything I could think of and much more ." She went and stood at the window, looking into the night sky, which was illuminated by the stars. "I love the stars. They look so beautiful", she said.

I went behind her and pulled her into a hug from behind.

"And I love you. You're the most beautiful thing in my world", I whispered in her ear. She blushed.

"You're blushing", I said, teasing her.

"What else do you expect me to do, idiot?", she said, embarrassed. I laughed loudly.

"I've never met anyone like you, you know", I said, our face close to one another.

"And people say we lack romance", she said, grinning. I smiled. "Well, I love you more-"

"Than anything in the whole wide world", I finished for her, smiling.

"Yeah"

"Well, I love you, too, Lucy.", I said, kissing her forehead.

"You can get really romantic ", she said.

"You haven't seen me yet", I said.

"And", she said, escaping from my grip, "I don't want to either". I laughed and went towards her.

"No Blake", she said, laughing. "Stay away"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Or else, I'll throw the pillow at you"

I looked at her , amused. "Go on"

She picked up the pillow from the bed and threw it at me. I ducked and prevented it from hitting me, continuing to chase her around the room. "Blake .. you ", she said, opening the door. I caught her before she could get out.

Lucy laughed so loudly, that I had to cover her mouth. "You'll wake mom up!", I said, trying to control my laughter too.

"Yeah, and I'll tell her everything. "

"Yeah yeah", I said, releasing her.

"You're such an idiot."

"Am I?" . She nodded. "You want me to do that again?", I said, smirking.

"NO! okay, okay, sorry", she said, holding her hands up in defence. "I'd better go. Or else , Mrs.Halter will think-"

"Think what?", I asked her, folding my arms.

"Something wrong", she said, embarrassed. I laughed. She planted a kiss on my cheek and left the room.

After a few seconds, Lucy peeped into my room, smiling like a child, when its caught doing something wrong.

"Blake?", she said.

"Yes?"

"It's too dark outside. Help me cross the road". , she said, smiling and biting her lips at the same time.

I laughed so loudly, that she looked at me, baffled.
