The rain was coming down hard. My feet were planted in front of the hospital with my arms wrapped around me. It was supposed to be a full moon tonight but the dark clouds that hung heavy obscured it and brought down an unexpected downpour. There was no one else in sight outside. Everyone was inside, in the light of warmth, yet here I was, basking in the cold of the night as my thoughts ravaged me.
I could run through it. Maybe if I concentrated hard enough, I would be able to heat myself up without blowing something up. The risk was high though and I didn't want to have another fiasco after all the events of the day.
"Where the hell is he anyway?" I asked out loud, suddenly feeling irritated. Marcus had said Xander was almost here and after so many minutes, he still hadn't shown up
Go to him.
If I had known he would be so unreliable, I'd have stayed with Marcus for the rest of the night. Then again, I would have probably been a bother to him. He'd want to stay awake with me instead of resting.
"This is the last time I ever go meet that bastard willingly." I took a deep breath and steeled my resolve to get back to the house by myself
Just when I had taken two steps forwards, I was pulled back. My body turned suddenly and I found myself glued to a naked chest. My widened eyes gazed up and I'm sure my mouth fell so wide open that it was almost comical. The warmth came off immediately and engulfed me, all the cold vanishing from my body. His arm was wrapped firmly around my waist and right under my palm, I felt the wetness of his chest and the heart that beat underneath it. So quickly that it was like it would jump into my hand.
"Were you planning to go home under this?" he asked, his voice deep yet soft
"I-I waited for you..." curse my stuttering, "I thought you were still busy."
His head tilted to the side cutely and I found myself cursing inside that I found it cute. The rain wasn't so loud anymore as I felt that familiar pull between us.
