All You Need Is Love

(^I know, it's a pathetic title, but I could't come up with anything else. Suggestions welcome) ;)

It’s raining. I can feel the droplets of water pelting my back and soaking through the thin cotton of my dress - making it look as though I've been standing in the rain for hours, though all I've really been doing is walking through it. My chocolate hair hangs in tangles at my cheeks and past my shoulders, absorbing the cheap mascara that runs from my eyes with every falling rain drop. My eyelashes, which everyone has always said are impossibly long and black, are sheltering my grey-blue eyes from the run off of water dripping down my forehead. My sterling silver love heart earrings are delicately swinging from my ear lobes, tickling the sides of my face.

About ten metres ahead, I can see the ridiculously wide grin of my boyfriend, Mason, waiting for me out the front of the movie rental place. As I peck him on the cheek in greeting I can smell the intoxicating scent of fresh rain and wet hair. Instead of returning the kiss on the cheek though, Mason pulls me against his chest; winding his arms around my waist and making me feel small and protected.

Not so sure how to go on from this, if I even should. Suggestions would be awesome :)

initially i thought she's going through a heartbreak.. but mason quite steal the show..

I probably would've titled it "Mason". But even though the title, "All You Need Is Love" is really cliche, it works with the story. And come on, it's the title of a great Beatles song :)

wow.. wow.. wow.. thick with description thick with emotion, Very Very good short story, i dont think i would add any more to it, I do however when reading it, think that if you say, my sterling silver love heart earrings are delicately swinging from my ears, instead of ear lobes.. its probably just something that i noticed, (meaning, it wouldn't bother anyone else) This is a great short story (: going to read more of yours (:

I agree with Knoxxeh. I like how it feels like the emotions change. Very good read :)

[Knoxxeh]

I like how it seems like she is sad in the first paragraph but then in the second paragraph it gets happy
Great Job
