The rain fell like the drops of an oil lamp, slow and hesitant. She kicked a stone back and forth with the toe of her black high heels.
Her blonde hair plastered to her head she struggled to find a direction, though she didn't really care which way she went as long as it was away.
Her long coat swung in the wet breeze and the lights from the street lamps discovered her only in a black satin nightgown, drenched and clinging to her abandoned curves. She sniffed and sobbed, tears mixing with the oily rain, a confusion of salt and heavenly release.
How long had it been since anyone touched her? She had been married for 8 years and stopped feeling loved in only 3 so she wouldn't, she couldn't be touched by him again. A mixture of her own guilt and resentment towards him was a hard combination to digest and after living in utter emotional limbo she had had enough. He had tried to steal all of her dreams, because he didn't have any of his own. He couldn't control her because she didn't respect him and she desperately wanted for someone to take control...of her.
Now she wandered in the slow, driving rain looking for a purpose. She kicked the stone harder until it flew up high and landed on the window shield of a car stopped at a light. The man unrolled his window and yelled, "Hey! Are you crazy? What are you doing?" Not realizing that hers was an accidental infraction and that she was also at the end of her rope.
She snapped, she picked up the only rock she could find and threw it hard with a defiant "fuck you!" hitting the hood of his car and then ran on her high heels into the darkness of the next street over. The man pulled his car over and chased her. When he finally caught up with her he was breathing hard and could barely speak, but his eyes said it all, he was livid.
He was planning on dragging her back and calling the police on his cell phone, he was planning on pressing charges; he was planning on getting revenge on the bitch that cracked his windshield and dented his hood.
He was going to do all of those things but when he caught her she was sobbing and she fought him fiercely. She struck out at him and scratched at his face and she was wet and vulnerable and he wanted to have her right then and there but he was so angry all he could do was swat out at her wet ass.
She was screaming something completely unintelligible at him and then she spit at him. He grabbed her by the hair and started shouting at her to stop. She swung hard and hit him upside the head and then he grabbed both of her arms and held them behind her back. She kicked at him and then turning her head towards him was going to spit again and he kissed her open mouth...hard. He bit at her tongue and she kissed back with equal power. He spanked her wet ass and holding her with one arm around her neck dragged her into a dark alley. "God, don't kill me. I have a child...I have..."
