Waiting On The Other Shoe To Drop の小説・ストーリー

I'm waiting once again, for the last time. Tonight determines what my future will hold. I'm finally doing it, I've been silent for so long, watching things unfold in front of my eyes and remain in the background. I'm a woman in love and I'm about to express all that's been within. I wanted things to be perfect and so I had some help from Joey, Mrs Davies and Alex, who would be informing us on their arrival. I'm nervous of course but I'm hopeful that tonight will have a good turn out. Something good will happen.

And knowing we would be closing on this great traditional brick four-bedroom house on a quiet street was the cherry on top. It was tough to focus the rest of the day and even harder to keep the news from mom. I know this will make her year. We’d been talking about having kids but always like a future thing. And bam, not trying, we get one. We were about halfway to the waterfront even when we realized we had forgotten to get the ultrasound to show our friends. So we ended up getting there late. The park was, of course, busy. It would take hours if we were looking for anyone other than the Frost family in this sea of people. But it was easy to spot them, mainly because their cousins Clay and R

But the new shine didn’t fool me. Her eyes still found me in the crowd like heat-seeking missiles, and each glare carried enough venom to melt the heels right off my shoes. I counted at least six in the last minute. The music had died down now to a slow R&B and only uncle Jace seemed to be grooving, swaying his hips in blissful ignorance. Everybody was still expecting the other shoe to drop and frankly, I was too. While they were hanging back, pretending to mingle while their ears stayed tuned for the next explosion, I was the one looking over my shoulder in case she sent a flying shoe my way.

"Do you even know how much those cost?!" "Just put them back before you embarrass yourself in front of everyone!" Maxwell held up one hand firmly to stop their verbal assault. "Why wouldn't I be able to buy them? It's a store. They sell shoes. I have money." The woman stepped closer aggressively, her expression somewhere between amused and genuinely irritated. "Because shoes like that aren't just sitting on a shelf for any random person to grab! They're reserved. Pre-ordered. People have been waiting months for these specific shoes!"

Buckets and buckets of water would relentlessly fall from the sky for long periods of time before it would all be over for the year. Right now she would have done anything for that weather. Her thin flats were repeatedly sucked into the mud covering the street. It took a considerable amount of effort to lift and move her feet forward, but she did so relentlessly. Brooklyn quickened her steps, barely clinging onto her flats as they suctioned into the thick mud. Her flat slipped from her foot and she had to stop and dig it out of the mud pile before continuing. She gave up on replacing her shoes and just held them in her hand the rest of the way.

Pretend everything was fine and wait for the next shoe to drop. Because that was all I could do. Wait. Hope and pray that whoever had that video would show mercy. Even though I knew better than to expect mercy from anyone.

All I could think was that the sooner we got this meeting over with, the sooner I got to take this damned garment off. "Don’t forget the shoes!" Angela gasps as I yank open my bedroom door. Bracing myself, I slowly turn and find my eyes growing wide. "You’ve gotta be kidding me!" Later, I plop down on a couch in Nol’s lounge and rub my ankles. I didn’t know exactly what type of shoes I was expecting him to pick for this damn dress, but six-inch hooker heels most certainly weren’t it. Sighing, I lean back and throw one leg over the other while I wait for the man of the hour to appear until a TV begins to descend from the roof, catching me by surprise and damn near scaring me out of my skin.

I groaned and picked up the package to check for the shoes. “What?” I gasped in shock when there seemed to be no shoes in the package. “What, am I going to wear this without a shoe?” I hissed angrily, slapping my forehead in annoyance. Just when I thought I lost, I caught sight of Mom's heels resting carelessly on the shabby sideboard.

We probably spent a lot of time in the rain that we didn't even notice the time and even until now, the rain hasn't stopped. "No. How about you?" "Not really." There was silence. I sat across him and gave him his mug. We sat there quietly while drinking our hot choco, just plainly listening to the relaxing raindrops and getting warmed up with each other's presence. I stared at the empty mug that I was holding when I spoke something that was wanting to get out of my mind, "You know what, you are like signage." "Signage? What kind of signage?" He asked curiously. "The 'back off' sign."
