Your Guitar: A Drabble

By | August 2, 2011

“I’m sleeping with your guitar again. I hate it when you aren’t here.”

Baby.” I clench my cell phone. “Didn’t you go out with the guys tonight?”

He yawns. “I did, but it doesn’t feel right to get pretty for anyone but you.”

I groan and adjust myself. Just the thought of his smudge-lined eyes does it. I don’t want him pretty for anyone else but me either. His voice, calling my name, is tinny through the small speaker.

I take a deep breath and swing open the door. He jumps up, his eyes wide.

“Hey, beautiful, I’m home.”

I find him strangely fascinating. (Brian Molko, that is) Weird how someone who looks so strange on most photos is so cute and innocent on this one, no?

Thanks! It was another one of those cases where I knew exactly what I wanted to write the instant I saw the picture.

And, yes, Brian Molko is very fascinating. Makes me want to write…
