Effeminate: Being Cared For | COMPLETED

Skyline

Another day another day to forget her umbrella, same old habit—well at least she did check the weather forecast beforehand but that was all useless considering she forgot her umbrella.

She would have just quickly ran to the bus when it had just began rain, a few drops of rain didn’t hurt no body right—but she didn’t she had the chance to but she stayed, waited—and for no other than Avra.

She had grown accustomed to standing just out the door with the view of the parking lot ahead of her, each day right after the session—regardless of the people offering her a hand or her company, Beth to be precise, she refused telling them to go on out.

Kindly of course.

Her plan had always been Avra, not her overused excuse on waiting on Mars to pick her up—Mars wouldn’t do that anymore as Sheen told her not to anymore, something about saving fuel and her not being a baby to be babied—the reasons weren’t lies at all, just a half truth she didn’t tell.

She had Avra drop her off or they would simply go by bus together and possibly have a detour—she enjoyed the stories they would share or even just walking in the silence.

Just a little more time with Avra was what she needed. Be it if she had to wait for an hour for Avra to finalize everything—it was never an hour or more than fifteen minutes because Sheen wasn’t the only person looking forward to meet her.

Avra did too. She had always hurried in packing and finalizing her stuff, she did not want to keep Sheen waiting—the faster she was the longer their time together was.

Sheen had her lips pursed as she stared up at the sky. Dark rain clouds had covered the clear blue sky before, hidden the sun and robbed them of the warm—another Sunday that wasn’t very sunny.

So opposite to it’s name.

Taking her gaze away from the sky she stared at the direction the giggling came from. Two teenagers had been running down the street drenched in rain chasing one another, from the white shirts sticking to their body and the blue trousers to the black school shoes—she assumed they had just gotten out of school.

It was a Sunday yes but they still had a make up session each afternoon for at least an hour or two, then they would study then go home.

The shorter boy had his bag pack over his head—sort of an umbrella—but the one trailing behind him was in a fit of giggles, bag pack strapped to his back—occasionally brought his hand to wipe away the rain drops.

He seemed to have loved the rain and not just because he did a little jump into the pothole as they crossed the street—but he liked being in the rain.

He, they were enjoying—just school days she missed and had similar memories with Mars and Isis.

Oh how she missed dancing in the rain—not the cold after though. The boy fading at a distance she lightly smiled, with her palm held out the raindrops ran down her palm.

She liked the sensation of rain running down her head to her toes, her hair getting tangled up—clothes drenched, the slow and steady raindrops falling on her face then dripping to the ground from her cheeks.

Dancing in paddles—shoes soaked along with the shocks, just being careless.

“Need an umbrella?”

Turning to the voice Sheen saw Avra smiling at her with the similar umbrella held in her right hand, the tip of it touching the floor.

“Is it obvious?” she asked pulling her hand away from the ran.

Nodding her head Avra took a step closer to where Sheen stood. “Yeah and I’ve been watching you just stand there for the past five minutes.”

Opening up the umbrella Avra held it on top of them with her arm around her shoulders. “Today I don’t have my car I’m getting it serviced—so, will you walk with me to the bus stop?” she asked staring over at Sheen who simply smiled.

“It would be a pleasure.” she mumbled placing her arm around her waist. She liked their closeness it enabled her to secretly sniff her perfume and hold her so close. “You know, thank you.”

It was for more things than one—everything really from the time they meant to this. Avra just hummed softly smiling at Sheen.

“You ready?” she asked, agreeing with a nod then mentally counted to two then they jumped into the rain.

The music of the rain hitting the umbrella and everything else took her ears, silently walking down the street.
