Chapter One: Night in Shining Armor
Mark walked over to the old sofa and sat down. It had been six months since "it" happened. He opened his beer and looked next to him. He didn't know what he expected him to be there. It's not like he would come running through the door. He just wished that he would come back. Life wasn't the same without him.
On the upside no more yelling. Just as Mark had begun to dose off, he heard the loft door open and shut.
"Mark, I'm home".
It was Mimi.
She must have had a rough day at work. Her voice sounded stressed and ……… sad.
"Hey. I'm in the living room".
She walked over to him and plopped herself down next to him.
Mark had to admit she looked beautiful ………..even on days like these.
She always found a way to make him smile.
Mark's eyes shone a look of sadness and another feeling she couldn't read.
"You miss him too?"
Mark turned and looked at Mimi.
How did she know?
Then he looked into her eyes.
Those brown eyes that Roger loves………….
Loved.
"Yeah. I guess I still do"
He thought about Mimi.
How must she feel?
After he just left her there on the floor, crying and begging him to stay.
"I miss him too"
She looked at Mark.
Her wonderful brown eyes filled to the brim with tears as her shaky
words spilled out.
All of a sudden she just collapsed into Mark's arms.
He held her and almost cried but chose other wise.
If he cried it would only make her feel worse.
He set his beer on the side table.
He wrapped his arms around her and cuddled her.
He knew she loved that.
They just lie there in each other's arms.
Mark felt soft breathing.
She had fallen asleep.
She looked so peaceful in her sleep.
Though she was nothing like it she had a look of
Innocence.
He felt like he wanted to protect her.
Mark felt so wrapped up in the comfort of having someone there to share his pain and holding her this close, he slipped into a peaceful sleep.
The best sleep he had gotten since Roger left.
This is My first. Thanks for reading
