As we were driving on Sunday afternoon in our nice church clothes, we were listening to Norah Jones and being the adorable couple that we are... it started to rain, steadily at first and then it really started to come down.. on an impulse, he pulled the car over on the side of the road.. We both got out of the car.. I was barefoot, and the grass on the side of the interstate was cold, but I didn't care.. it was raining hard enough that by the time we got to each other, my hair was stringy and my eye makeup was running... he took me in his arms, and with the sound of the rain on the car and the thunder in the distance, he kissed me so passionately that afterwards, we just stood there, shivering, nose to nose, rain dripping off of my eyelashes.
That wasn't an exerpt from a romance novel.. it was something I wrote in October of 2004 during my first trip to South Carolina to see Justin. I had completely forgotten that I used to write down my thoughts on livejournal.com, and recently stumbled upon years of memories when I came across my old account. It was like discovering a time capsule... very cool!
My sweetie comes home from a two-week work trip tomorrow. I can't wait to see him! It's been four years since I wrote about our kiss in the rain, and we are still just as much in love now as we were then. I'm a lucky lady. :-)
Love and Lattés,
Katie
