Prompt: Damsel in Despair
Prompt: Damsel in Despair
...xXx...
She didn’t know if she should be happy or angry to hear her ex-husband’s voice. Blamed it on her half-awoken state that she didn’t have the mind to check the caller’s number, but then, knowing him, it was probably no number. She glanced at the digital clock beside her bed and found it was two in the morning. What on earth was he thinking to call at this ungodly hour? It seemed her ex hadn’t changed when it came to getting what he wanted.
Once she was fully awake, thoughts ran through her mind. Why now? She blinked after remembering that he would only call for one thing. As much she didn’t want to meet her ex, she knew that she needed to do it. Heaving a soft sigh, she asked, “Is she okay?”
She didn’t get to see Sesshōmaru’s shocked face as she guessed the reason of his call correctly.
“She misses you.”
“You wouldn’t call otherwise.” The statement was meant to jab him, but to her surprise, he took it well. How strange.
“When will you be available?”
She pulled away from the phone to stare at the device oddly. The Sesshōmaru she knew would only demand, never ask. Did he hit his head somewhere? But then, he must be at the brink of breaking down that he didn’t push her just to get what he wanted even though the time was still not right.
“Kagome?”
Pressing the phone back on her ear, she said, “Let me check first.”
“...”
Though she wasn’t a full-time employee, she had part-time jobs that often changed from time to time. After looking through her calendar, she finally found an empty slot.
“The day after tomorrow I’m free after 4.”
“I shall pick you up.”
Blinking away another surprise, she nodded, though he couldn’t see it, and gave him her address. Right after the call ended, Akihiko’s cries reached her ears.
Love it, I really like your short stories make my boring summer days something to look foward to.
