Angela
I took a few steps towards him, forgetting I was mad at him for a second, stopping just near his face to confirm he was asleep, when he suddenly lifted his arm from his eyes and whispered, "Hey, Angel."
My steps froze, abruptly at his voice and my eyes widened as I took a few steps backward maintained.
"Uh... I'm..." I stuttered, thinking of an explanation, "I was just looking for my phone. I put it on this table last night," I explained, pointing at the table above his head.
He cocked his head to the side, "Really Angel? I didn't ask for an explanation." He lifted himself to sit down on the couch. "And as far as I know there has been no phone lying here."
I probably looked like deer caught in headlight right now but I was still angry at him, I can't let myself be intimidated by him.
"I didn't say it was here, I said it was lying here, 'last night'," I fake-smiled, befo
AngelaI closed my eyes for whatever remark I'm about to hear from him.And as soon as I did, everything went dark. Literally.The remark I was waiting to hear from him never came, instead the sound of bullets firing did. What the hell? Is there a show going on? Or, are real bullets being fired?! Since, I've heard the sound of bullets only once in that market, I could hardly differentiate. They did sound like real ones. And if they were, we're in serious trouble."Angel, get up we're going!" I got up from my seat as soon as I heard the sound of Mason's voice."What's going on, Mase?" I questioned him, totally puzzled.His hand found his way to mine as he tried to lead me out, amidst the chaotic crowd of screaming people. Right now, everything felt like a blur, people were moving here and there, yelling crazily; some were falling down even."I'll answer ev
"Look what you made me do, look what you--look what you made me do..." Taylor Swift's song 'Look What You Made Me Do' was playing on my mobile while I dressed myself for school, singing along with it.Suddenly, my phone rang and I picked it up."I'm sorry, the old Angela can't come to the phone right now.""Why?""Oh, 'cause she's dead!" I imitated Taylor and my body shook along with the beats, "Look what you made me do, look what you just made m--""Angi, are you really going mad?!""Wai-bae! Good morning!""Yours looks a little too good," I could imagine her rolling her eyes."You're just jealous of my happiness," I retorted feigning arrogance and flipped my hair with a humph."Did you just humph at me?" she snorted and murmured, "And like I need to. You're always happy anyway!""What did you say?" I gasped, audibly, "I should have your head on a platter for disrespecting me!" I stated in a horri
🍒Angela🍒It's been a looong day....As Prof. Bonny taught us about the gravity free system, I decided to lay my head down on the desk. I began to regret not sleeping properly yesterday because now I was feeling really sleepy. My eyes were drooping.In no time, I tuned out the world around me with all the sounds around me vanishing and going into my own world of dream.I lay on my soft soft bed when I heard a light knock on my door. My door that was made of dark chocolate and my bed was made of the purple colored jelly. It was so soft. My entire house was made of chocolate. M&M's, cherries, nutella and other chocolaty things decorated it. Instead of books, there was Ice cream that decorated my chocolate covered waffer, table.Alas! I had to get up and leave my comfort of the bed to answer whoever it was. As I made my way to the door, the plush marshmallow carpet melted under my feet, the soft se
🍒Angela🍒Walking into Herbert's house, I saw what I dreaded the most. Desperate teenagers making out and grinding on one another, boys and girls dancing too close to each other than would be comfortable, people throwing up and the smell of alcohol and sweat lingering in the air. It wasn't even nine and this was the state of the people. Loud music played on the speakers and multi lights danced around the room.Loud music was blaring from the large speakers that were present at one end of the hall and multi lights danced around the room, making it seem more like a nightclub than a house."I'll go get something to drink!" Trisha shouted over the music. I could barely hear her."I'll just take water. I don't want to get drunk so early!" I shouted back remembering Mason's word. I always try to listen when someone tells me good things."I'll probably take that too," I heard her say before she went away. I wanted to follow her but I bumped

🍒Angela🍒The first guy pointed his gun at me. People around me were unaware because they were obviously drunk.I heard a shriek coming from behind me and looked to see Trisha with her hand on her mouth. Andrew was beside her. After hearing her scream people started to notice and soon more screams were heard as they went out, emptying the hall.Hello, people! The gun is pointed at me and even I'm not making a slight noise.Well, maybe that's because you're too afraid to speak now.I felt a little bit afraid, now. Trisha was by my side along with Andrew, now. They were both standing beside me. I never thought that one day I'd be in a situation like this. With a gun placed on my forehead. And my life at stake.
🍒Angela🍒"Say goodbye, girl," he said, maliciously and suddenly a loud gunshot sound echoed across the hall and I closed my eyes, feeling the pain flow through me.But that pain was not of a bullet hitting me, that pain was of me hitting something hard. Ouch!I anticipated blood flowing through my body, my body falling down and me reminiscing the memories of my life, but none of that happened, instead I heard a painful shriek in front of me.I opened my eyes and they widened when I saw the man in front of me lay down on the ground, as dead as a dodo.A laughter spluttered from my throat. "He was trying kill me and he shot himself instead. See," I pointed my index finger at him, "this is what happens when you try to kill me! You kill yourself!""Not really," a voice I was familiar with uttered from behind me.I turned around and saw that Carl was standing in
🍒Angela🍒"I'm coming to pick you up. Tell me where you are," I was lost at voice when I heard what he said.Trish, Drew and Carl were staring at me, curiously. I signalled them to wait."Um..." I tried to come up with a good excuse. "NO! I mean, I...uh... I can come back on my own, by taking a lift or I can ask--""Angel?""Yeah?""Stop making excuses and tell me where you are! Otherwise, I have my ways to find out where you are."As I heard his firm voice, I knew he would actually do what he said so I gave him the address to Trish's house.And within half an hour he reached there. I had told Carl and Andrew not to come out and Trish came to see me off. I waved at her before settling in Mason's can who had an aloof expression on his face throughout the way.I had my hands settled on my laps with my head held do
🍒Angela🍒 Mason came home the next evening with a grave mood. I was worried something happened while he was at work. Something was off with him, he was giving clipped off answers to my questions. Did he fight someone? Did someone hurt him? Ok, this sounded absurd because he was a strong, sturdy man himself and I bet he could fight five people at once. I felt sad when he just went to his room without saying anything. He wasn't usually like that. No matter what happened, at the end of the day, he would always give me a smile. He didn't even eat anything. I was worried and hurt by his behavior. Him ignoring me is not what bothered me, what bothered me was that he knew, he knew I had been waiting for him. I missed him. I want to know the reason, the cause of this behavior. If something is hurting him, I want him to share it with me. But right now, I felt so worthless. Like I was just a burden at him. A little girl who needed protection because she was so weak to protect herself
"No." Startled by the third voice that spoke, we both turned our head towards the figure that came running towards us. Dylan.Worry and fear etched his face, and he was breathless by the time he reached us. The tone of his voice, the worry, and his untimely interruption indicates something big. Something that could either be a huge problem or lead to it. But whatever it was, it had shaken him up pretty badly. Watching him, I clenched my own jaw. He had interrupted a very special moment but I trust my men and I know whatever it was must be really alarming. They know what today's date meant to me. Unless it wasn't big, they would've never intervened. "Mason," he stopped near me, trying to catch his breath, briefly glancing at Angela who stood there clueless. "Hey, Ang, I've got to borrow Mason for a while.""Uh, yeah sure, you go, I'll roam around here then."As soon as Angel left, his face turned serious again, "Mason, there's a problem.""What?""Someone's gotten into our territor
🍒Angela 🍒 And as if a sudden realization hit my mind, my eyes grew big. Was this...? "C'mon Angel, I didn't plan this for myself," he spoke, leaning towards my ear, "but if you still want to stay close, we can still go back home and--" Before he could speak further, I slapped his arm (even though I knew it didn't even hurt him a little), moving back. Instantly, I missed the warmth of his body but didn't let it show. I was still trying to figure out my new feelings. But this was certainly not the time to assess the reason of my rapidly beating heart. "Ouch!" he rubbed his arm where I slapped him causing me to roll my eyes at his over acting. "Drama Queen," I chuckled, shaking my head and grabbed his outstretched hand as he led me to the dinner table. "Kiss it better?"
Leading her in, Mason felt quite nervous. He didn't know if she'll like anything or not, but he still wanted to give this date, their first official date, a chance. For her. He felt like he was getting the pre-wedding jitters while walking down the aisle. In his mind, he had a scenario of a gust of wind blowing by and destroying his perfect date; the table and chairs flying away, the beautiful fairy lights hanging from the tree, rustling and falling down, the lanterns set up crashing down and the tent he had place infront of a projector, wanting to watch a nice movie with his Angel, flowing away. Clenching his fists, controlling his unpleasant thoughts, he looked at her to see her expressions, he just wanted to focus on her; whether she liked it or not. Nothing else mattered. "I'd like to tell you something, Angel," he started as they neared the gate, "This is my first time taking a girl on a date," he said, nervously rubbing his neck. Surprised, Angela stare
🌊Mason🌊'Now, I know what I need to do. I need to make everything okay and ask for Angel's forgiveness. I will not lose her, I will make everything alright between us.'***Sitting in my office I was pondering I've the events of yesterday when I received a call."Hello?""Mason! Everything is set as you told us," the voice on the other side whom Mason recognized as Dylan, spoke."Great!" I appreciated, calming my own self down.I swear to God, in all these years of my life, I've never been this nervous.But it was all Angel's doing.Eversince Angel came into my life, my heart has developed this unusual habit of beating fast, uncontrollably fast. I feel like I'm surrounding by certain feelings that I'm unable to shake off me. Everytime Angel is near me, I feel calm; at peace. She my solace. The solution to all my problems.
