Inner child

"Let's do it"
"Are you sure?" "Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?" I smirked.

She stared at me, the mischief in her eyes mirroring mine. We both knew but we'd be dammed to let the opportunity pass us by.

We stripped till we were left in our bras and tights, drinking in the scent of wet sand. Giggling we took a bucket each and ran downstairs. She took a tentative step into the rain while I ran into it with enthusiasm.

Within a second, I found the side of the roof where the pressure of the water was strong. I looked at it, then her and back to it. She understood immediately and before she could say no, I ran and stood under it, feeling the rain wash away weeks of stress. After a moment of hesitation she joined in a we both laughed to our hearts content.

It didn't matter that other girls were looking at us.
It didn't matter that we might catch a cold.
It didn't matter that we might be scolded.

We satisfied our inner child. For a moment we choose to drop our burdens and dance in rain. We basked in the feel of the cold rain against our skin. Later, we might have to go back to deal with it all. But for now we were young, wild and free.
