mick : *lays asleep in bed, sprawled out.*
linda: *in the kitchen stirring the coffee over and over while she's playing her music quietly*
The song : 'walk me home' plays as
linda hums softly.
I want to walk you home. Please let me
walk you home. I want to walk you home.
Please let me walk you home. You look so
good to me.
mick : *stands in the door frame and looks at linda.*
morning baby...
linda : *is that deep in her own thoughts she doesn't
even notice micks presence.*
mick : *sighs and sits down slowly as the noise of the
chair cuts linda out of her thoughts and her
head turns slowly*
linda : didn't realise you were up...
mick : been here for a while babe...new music?
linda : just my dads to my mum...
mick : *listens to the lyrics* reminds me of when I
walked you home from my house when we
were kids. just round the corner but I needed
to make sure you were safe...
linda : *gulps and nods slowly as she places the
coffee in front of you.* love you...
mick : *takes your hand slowly.* love you...
linda : *slowly walks out and goes to the bedroom to
get ready for the day.*
mick : *sighs and falls back into the back of the chair
and listens to john's music from the 1960's.*
when I see my baby. what do I see?
poetry. poetry in motion. poetry in motion.
walking by my side. her lovely locomotion,
keeps my eyes open wide.
a few hours go by and the pub is packed. mick and linda are both on shift, but something is missing.
linda : *has a beaming smile on her face as she
serves a group of gentlemen*
mick : *watches her as she serves them, tapping his
fingers on the bar.*
jack : still nothing? *sees mick watching linda*
mick : aye!? *looks at jack, using a tone.*
jack : don't take it out on me mate...
mick : sorry. sorry mate...no. nothing, we try. but
nothing.
jack : try and date night. just the two of you...candles
and everything you both like.
mick : I don't know mate...I just don't know. *sighs*
over the other side of the bar;
mel : something's gone linda...
linda : had to take down the poster over there! some
drunken idiot decided to throw a beer over it!
mel : *swallows* no. from you...
linda : me? *laughs it off slightly but knows what
exactly it is but doesn't want to admit it*
mel : that sparkle in your eyes linda. it's gone...
you're tired. tired of loving something what
has gone.
linda : *gulps as tears cover her eyes.* no...no mel, i'm fine, me and mick...we're fine.
mick : *behind linda and takes her hand slowly.*
baby come on...
linda : no! no because we're fine! we're ok!
mick : upstairs...
linda : *swallows and nods as she goes up slowly
with mick following behind.*
upstairs;
mick : *walks behind linda to the bedroom and shuts
the door slowly behind him.*
linda : *sat on the bed and wipes a tear that falls
down her cheek.*
mick : this is tiring you isn't it...*sits down slowly on
the bed in front of you.*
linda : no...no!
mick : baby...*has tears in his eyes and is so tired of
trying to work something which is not
working.*
linda : *nods slowly as tears run down her cheeks*
mick : *reaches his hand out slowly and wipes your
tears slowly.* it's ok...it's ok...
linda : it's not mick...it's not ok because it's gone...
i can't feel it and it's gone. and i don't want to
be alone. *talks slightly faster as she panics
and can't catch her breathe.*
mick : hey...oi...baby. baby...*holds your face slowly*
alone? you'll never be alone...
linda : i will...because-
mick : *cuts you off* because we aren't in love?
linda : don't say that...
mick : but it's true isn't it baby...our eyes, it's not
in them. they're just filled with tiredness...
linda : *looks at you as tears carry on running and
she just nods as she grips your hand.*
mick : it's not the end...it's just...just a. i don't know
baby...
linda : i still love you so much...so so much...
mick : *a tear runs down his cheek* and i love you
baby...more than you'll ever know.
*no other words are said from this point. their lips carry on the silent conversation and their bodies are clashing together. lindas body under micks. lindas legs wrapped around micks waist, never wanting to let go. her hands grip at his belt and unbuckle it as mick pulls up her dress. they are soon half naked except from the top half.*
mick : *has lindas legs wrapped around him as he
pounds into her.*
linda : *her head is buried into his neck and moans
come from her lungs.*
mick : *lets a loud breath out after every pound into
linda as he holds her beautiful, blonde curls.*
linda : *tears run down her face as they fall into your
shoulder causing mick to pull up and look at
you.*
mick : *looks down at you and gets off slowly, pulling
out of you. breathing heavily but controls it.*
linda : *sobs slowly as she rolls over and lays there.*
mick : *swallows and lays beside you. wrapping his
arms around you, so tight to make you feel
secure and spoons you.*
*they lay there. no sound. no movement. just still. not wanting to let go but knowing they will have to soon. their tired eyes close. hoping this 'blip' will just pass. micks head lays in lindas shoulder as she holds his arms as she dozes.*
