An exercise for a school portfolio

Today the weather man said it would be another nice sunny day. Instead as I’m walking out to my car from Macy’s I start to notice thunder rumbling. I was not expecting rain, so of course my umbrella had to be in my truck. As I’m gathering my keys, my cell phone rings. I ignore it because five steps out of the door it begins raining hard, and if I answer, well that would be just ignorant. I finally locate my keys, and as I make a run for it, I notice this woman slowly trotting along in the rain. She was in her late twenties, I’m guessing from her trendy wardrobe. She was wearing the exact same dress that I was just about to purchase. That is why she stood out to me. I couldn’t quite understand why she would be enjoying getting wet in that beautifully fitting floral dress from Macy’s that cost 150.00. I noticed that the dress was fitting a little tight around her mid-section. I figured I would look better in it than she, so I continued to make way to my truck. My back is away from her now, and then I hear someone yell “YES!”I turn around and she is greeted by a guy in a nicely tailored suit. He is tall and handsome. I assume that he is her significant other. I pay no further attention to the scream. I unlock the door to my truck, and jump in. All wet I grab a towel from my back seat and wipe myself off. I put my seat belt on, and put my keys into the ignition. I put the car in drive and squeeze out of the parking spot, because the black Honda next to me parked too close. As I am driving I accidentally make a wrong turn headed back to Macy’s entrance. I notice the pair still standing outside looking in love in the rain. They are both totally soaked, and apparently paying no attention to the thunder and lighting. She is gazing into his eyes and he has the huge grin on his face. He touches her stomach. I quickly realize why the dress that I love was fitting her so tight
