Friday I'm In... Love?
Friday night. It was finally Friday night again.
Miss Parker stood in front of the cold grave stone, watching it in silence.
Carefully, she placed a white lily on top of the stone, just like she'd done it
every week for almost two months now.
She missed Tommy. He'd become a part of her life amazingly fast, and she'd lost
him as soon as she'd realized it. Her visiting his grave had become a ritual.
Even when she'd been shot in the shoulder she'd come here, though she should
have stayed in bed. Sydney had accompanied her, grinding his teeth but
understanding just how important this was to her.
For almost ten minutes she simply stood and watched, memories flooding her mind.
Sometimes she thought that it would have been better for both of them if they
had never met. Then Tommy wouldn't be dead. And she'd been spared a lot of pain.
He had loved her, and now he was dead. Just like her mother.
Gently she shook her had, trying to get rid of these thoughts. All she wanted
was to keep the good memories of Tommy.
Miss Parker smiled sadly, touched the cold stone one last time and turned to
leave. It was time to begin the second part of the evening. The part that had
become as much of ritual as her visits to the graveyard.
Fifteen minutes later she reached her home. A slow smile spread on her lips.
This part of the Friday-night-arrangement was the most interesting. Expectation
washed through her, alongside with memories of last Friday. It had definitely
been special. This night could hardly be any better, could it?
Her smile deepened. She was determined to try. Lost in her thoughts she went to
the living-room. When she was halfway there, she was suddenly gripped from
behind, encircled in two strong arms.
"You're late", a deep voice whispered into her ear. "Everything
alright?"
Miss Parker nodded. A warm feeling flooded through her. His concern touched
something deep inside of her. And the gentle touch of his hands stirred a
feeling, that she yet hesitated to identify.
