My girlfriend loves thunderstorms, so when one rolled in last night, I thought it’d be cute to surprise her by dancing in the rain. We were on her apartment balcony, sipping wine, and I said, “Let’s make a movie moment.”
So I ran out barefoot into the parking lot, dramatically spinning around like an idiot. She laughed and came down to join me. Everything was going great until I slipped on the soaked pavement and landed flat on my back, perfectly knocking the wind out of myself.
She ran over, panicking, while I just laid there, soaked, wheezing like a dying seal. Then, because of the thunder, one of the car alarms went off, mine. So now I’m on the ground, drenched, gasping for air, while a Honda Civic screams into the night.
I’ve never felt less romantic in my life.
TL;DR: Tried to have a “Notebook” moment, ended up with a concussion and a bruised ego.
