Waiting

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Rain splatters the windscreen, painting the world with Monet’s brush, adding tears to his reflection in the glass. Ignoring the blood soaking through his jeans, he anxiously watches the warehouse, its flames battling with Mother Nature’s downpour. Bodie is still in there.

Pain and Cowley confine him to the Capri. He loses himself in the sound of droplets drumming on the bonnet. His awareness drifts.

Voices intrude. One voice, close to his ear, pulls him back.

“What’s all this, then?” his partner gently caresses a wet cheek.

His consciousness sliding away, he manages a smile. “Was waiting for you.”

That's the bad thing about drabbles - they always leave one a bit unsatisfied! Thanks for reading and your comments.

Beautiful words creating a vivid scene, thank you. More would be nice :)

There may be more... Bodie has been bothering me to post his side of things! Thanks for your kind words!

Very evocative. After the heart wrenching build up, I love the calmness of the final two lines.
