R&R(Rain and Ice Cream)

Gloomy was the only way the weather could be described. The skies were gray all day and the sky cried it's rain. Gloomy and cold for strong winds would blow, leaving things unsettled and disturbed. It wasn't exactly a storm, but at different points in time, it became a torrential downpour. The gloom of day did not alleviate once night fell. It continued to rain in the same sporadic fashion. Clouds blotted out the stars of night, just as gray skies had obscured the sun that day. It was early spring, a spring so far known for it's gloom and lack of bloom which spring was supposed to bring. So far, everyday, it rained...be it for a hour or 2 days, it rained...somehow...for some period of time.
The rain wasn't necessarily all gloom, however, for some found comfort in the weather. She was sheltered and watched the night rain splash against her windowpane...with a smile. It had rained all day. At first, her show was delayed, but for fear of worst weather, it was cancelled. It was rescheduled for another day, inside of a different place. Times Square would have been a great place to perform, but Madison Square Garden? It was where legends where born. Plus, the weather was crazy, who wanted to stand and watch her crew dance in the rain?
She simply watched it fall. After the call came that the show was off, she took her outfit off and sat down, intent on listening to the sound that the rain made against her window pane. The soft patter against glass lulled her senses until she dozed off...only to be awakened by the clap of thunder. Her slumber had lasted only a few hours, but when she was last awake, it was still day. When she awoke that night, she was still tired. Perhaps it was because of the dreary weather, or because she was used to dancing and traveling all over the globe with little sleep...whatever the reason being, she still felt sleepy...which made this night unique. She would relax and get a good amount of sleep for the first time in weeks.
She worked so hard she forgot how to relax. She picked up her phone and was going to call and ask, but she merely shook her head and laughed. No, not him. Her eyes went wide in delight as the lightning flashed, it awakened her inner child and got her off her ass. Now, she had a task at hand.
She moved through her humble studio abode to her kitchen in search of a sundae glass. Tonight would be the one night that she wouldn't dance, she would feed herself ice cream and simply relax. As she opened the freezer door, her beautiful, brown eyes went wide again. There was nothing in it..except for chocolate..her favorite!
She forgot about the sundae glass(not like she wanted to clean up after she ate anyway) and grabbed the biggest spoon she could find. She also began to reach for a bottle of wine, but changed her mind...Not tonight...Ice cream would suffice. Equipped with a spoon and a carton of ice cream, she took her seat by the window and continued to watch the rain. As she ate, her mind wandered and produced visions of grandeur that she could turn to reality. All she had to do was continue to believe...And continue to succeed
"Musiq!" A smirk came across her face as she blurted the name, right after that random thought came. She loved music and considered no artist better then Soulchild. That was how she would relax fully! Listen to Musiq...let him sooth her to sleep.
With a push of buttons on a convenient remote, his voice erupted with it's soothing justice, just as she finished the remainder of her ice cream. She sighed, but smiled. There was no more ice cream, but there was still Soulchild who's voice drove her wild...who made her want to have HIS lovechild...as long as he kept the shades on and sung songs she could dance to...or romance to. "Just as long as your love don't change..." was the last thing she remembered hearing him say before she drifted off to sleep...To dream of sunny days and a lover who's love wouldn't change...
Sweet Dreams.
