After dinner, the two spent the evening on their balcony of the hotel, sipping on a glass of wine. It was a clear night, but the weather was about to change. Dark clouds start to hover over the city and low rumbling is heard in the distance.
Artemis instantly snuggles closer to George, who is securing her by putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Shall we go inside?" George requests, "before it begins to pour." Artemis nods and looks up.
"If the thunder isn't that bad, I wanna try something outside," Artemis says with a small smile. George raises his brow, questions marks flying around his face.
"Care to explain?"
"Well, I like rain," Artemis explains, "and I like being in the rain, so I want to do that thing where you kiss in the rain. It sounds so stupid now I say it out loud, never-"
     "It doesn't," George says and chuckles, "I like that idea."

The thunder isn't as heavy as they expected so Artemis wanted to go outside. George only chuckles as he has been looking at a child who gets candy.
     Artemis feels the rain drops once she steps out of the hotel. George also steps into the rain and looks at Artemis. Her hair starts to get wet and stick to her face. Even that and she is pretty.

Artemis grabs George's hand and started to walk.
"People must think we are crazy," George yells, trying to speak over the rain.
"I don't care!" Artemis yells, "I love this!" George only smiles widely as Artemis walks in front of them.

They near the Eifel Tower and Artemis was still walking in front. George finally had enough of that. The Brit stops walking and pulls Artemis in his direction. Artemis didn't expect any of this and crashed into his chest.
"Ow."
Both are soaking wet by now but they don't care. They are spending time together, that's what important to them.

Artemis giggles as she looks up to George. George looks down with a wide smile on his face. He gently puts a wet strand behind her ear and caresses both cheeks.
George doesn't hesitate anymore and slowly closes the remaining distance. Time stood still. The world around them disappeared. It was only those two human beings.
Artemis lays her hands on his chest and patiently waits for George. Her waiting was being rewarded by a pair of lips.

George pulls back as his hands travel down her back.
"Let's go back before we get sick," he whispers. He picks her up in bridal style, causing Artemis to yelp. George swiftly walks back to the hotel with Artemis in his arms.
     People of the hotel were worried when they saw the man carrying a woman, soaked due the rain. George smiled and nodded in their direction.

Back in their room, George let's Artemis shower first. He waited in their bedroom but the door to the bathroom opened, revealing Artemis.
     "You know," she says with blush on her cheeks, "we could save water." George rises on his feet and looks hesitantly at her.
"Are you sure?" he asks, "I mean, you are not forced to." Artemis giggles and nods, "I'm sure. Now come here." George giggles as he joins Artemis in the bathroom.

George sees Artemis stripping down her clothes and turns around.
     "You can look," says Artemis softly, "it's just a body."
     "A-are you sure?" George asks nervously. Yes, he was nervous. Artemis lays her hand on his shoulder and slowly turns him around. His eyes widen, now he actually sees his girlfriend's full bare body. And god, she is beautiful.

"See?" Artemis smiles, "I will go ahead in the shower. See you in a minute." Artemis walks into the shower and George soon hears the water running. He is still paralysed by Artemis' beauty.
     The Brit finally starts to take off his clothes and walks into the shower. He tries not to startle Artemis and carefully lays his hands on her shoulders.
     He takes the shampoo out of her hands and squeezes some on his hand. Artemis understands his meaning and gives him a small smile. George starts to massage the shampoo in her hair.
     "You are beautiful," he finally says.

All George sees, is the back of Artemis' head. After they showered, they cuddled before going to sleep. George looks at his clock: 12.17 AM.
     He listens to Artemis' breathing, giving him the idea she is asleep. Yet, she wasn't. Artemis was planning on turning around when George starts to trace his finger on her back.

It takes her a while to understand what he is tracing.
     "This can't be real," George mutters softly, "Artemis is way out of my league. She is an angel from heaven." He continues to trace heart shapes on her back.
     "What did I do to deserve someone like her. I swear I will protect her with my life. I-I think I love her." George stops tracing on her back and sighs before closing his eyes.

Artemis' heart beats faster as she hears all of that. She tries to keep her breathing stable but she moves more than usually. She turns around, pretending to be asleep.
     The moonlight shines on his George's face and he looks so peaceful. Artemis snuggles closer and pecks his forehead, "and I will return that love."
