Time seems to have stopped. I slowly looked at the owner of the two black shoes.
"Get up .."
I tried my best, to stand up. If there was no rain, I knew it was clear to him that my tears would not stop. My muscles trembled to see him.I trace the scars on his face. His lip was a bit blast. His arm was heavily whipped. And even though he was wearing a white t -shirt, many lashes of the whip were on his body!!!!
"I-Is this the reason why don'tyou show up h-huh?" I was able to say and cry.
He was also wet from the rain. His eyes just wandered all over me. Eventually he nodded.
"Happy birthday ..." he took just one step away from us and hugged me tightly. He rubbed my face against his hard chest. "Happy birthday, baby ..." he whispered and kissed my hair.
An SUV pulled up next to us and his crew opened it.
"You gave up your position Leon?" I asked. He did not respond. He hugged me in the car and wrapped me in a towel. I can't take my eyes off him.
