Where Angels Fall

Raindrops

~

I could smell the rain from all the way up my office on the 12th floor of my building. Everyday I watch as people down the street scatter when the rain pours. I’m jealous. I wish I could be one of them and away from here

Sometimes I feel like I’m in a glass house and can’t get out. It’s suffocating.

I wish to be one of the people who have the luxury to run around to god knows where instead of being in this hell my father made for me where I only interact with snobs in suits and only sign papers that I never even get to read.

My father just told me I need to be here and overlook the business which is what I do literally. He hired a whole team to do all the work I’m just pen and a hand in this place, a face for people to look at as the heir and also to criticize if the team fails to do their job, lucky for me that almost never happens.

I watch the drops of rain on the glass watching as everyone disappears to take shelter from the pour down, everyone except one figure in bright yellow who seems to not be afraid to get a little wet

She walks down but bumps into someone who’s interest she seems to have piqued.

I watch as he watches her every move then begin to follow her, a little creepy I think and before I can realize it I’m out the door and into the elevator my assistants voice echoing behind me just as I step in.

When I get to the first floor it’s pouring a little less and my guards at the building try to follow me and offer me umbrellas but I refuse them and off I go after the lady in yellow.

I walk the direction she went and for a few minutes I can’t find the two until I spot the man from a distance.

I notice that the girl in yellow is on the ground and the guy is just standing hovering over her.

She doesn’t seem to notice him though which is strange cause he’s just inches away from her now. She’s really mastered the art of ignoring strangers cause she gets up and absentmindedly walks away. just then I notice a dog that seems to be a stray shivering and I can’t help but want to pick it up but when I look to where my interest was a few minutes ago they seem to have moved.

I give my bodyguard Zac a quick call and like I thought in a few seconds he’s right behind me, I give him instructions to get the dog and I run after girl in yellow and her stalker.

her stalker.

And hits me that I’m doing the same thing he is but I don’t dwell on the thought and follow them.

I look and I notice that the man is no longer behind her as she walks into an apartment I’m assuming she lives in.

She turns before walking into the house for the first time since I saw her and she glances at me.

My heart stops at how her eyes pierce into my soul demanding me to stay in my place. She’s so beautiful. Her face the perfect shape, her lips a beautiful ombré shade of browns and pink, her hair on the side of her face glistening from the wetness and my eyes start to crave her when she turns and walks in through the door.

Zac runs behind me putting an umbrella over me and telling me about the dog that he’s put in the car and waiting for my orders.

I begrudgingly walk back to the car which is just behind me and see the little dirty dog sitting shivering, and scared. I slowly inch closer to it and try to pet and notice it flinch and move further away.

I persist until he calms down and allows my hands to get closer, I notice he’s got no collar. Poor thing must be abandoned or born a stray but most likely abandoned from what I can see. Zac sits quietly awaiting my orders.

“Back to the office Mr Burkley?”

“Not yet, let’s wait here a few minutes”

We sit in comfortable silence as usual and my mind keeps wondering back to the girl in yellow, the most beautiful I’ve ever seen and I start smiling to myself.

I look to the dog next to me and smile

“What shall we call you?”

I ask, the dog looking at me confused

“How about snow?” Zac says

“He seems to be white as snow and even through all the mud on him one call see how white his coat is”

“Hmmm snow huh? I’ll name him blizzard” I say blizzard barking for the first time and that’s all the confirmation I need. I look back to miss yellow hoodie’s apartment and notice the guy from before looking up at a window with lights on before turning to walk away when I see someone fall from a balcony and my eyes remain in shock when the body just goes right through the guys body as if he’s made of air.
