Wings?

Bethel's POV:

'BEEP beep!!!' I groaned as I heard my alarm go off. Why on Earth was the universe such a bitch to me. Do I really have to be at work by 7am? Sadly I remembered I actually did.

I turned off the alarm but still laid on the bed for few minutes before proceeding to stand up and stretch my body. My body was aching all over.

I then went to my bathroom brushed my teeth and took a hot relaxing shower. Now I don't feel like a grinch anymore, praise Christ.

Arriving at the kitchen I saw aunt Vicky already preparing food. I walked up to her and placed a kiss on her cheek while muttering a low 'good morning' her way.

"Morning dear, how was your night?" She asked with a smile, while flipping the pancakes.

"Eventful" I muttered.

"What was that?" She asked referring to the statement I just said. she didn't hear me thank God.

"I said it was good" I answered, giving her what I hope to be an innocent smile.

"Uh huh" she wasn't convinced that much I could tell.

"Well anyways are you staying for breakfast?" She asked not dwelling on what we were talking about few seconds ago. Bless her soul.

"Sorry, no I can't I'll be late if I did" I winced a little giving her an apologetic smile.

"It's okay honey, but eat something when you get there okay?" She gave me that motherly no nonsense look. I quite appreciated it cause I didn't have a mother of my own. I was happy she was like a mother figure to me.

"I will, Bye" I called out as I was already at the door.

"Bye huns"

As I stepped out of the house my Uber driver was already there waiting as I already called for an Uber minutes ago.

"Good morning ma'am" he greeted. Quite Polite if you ask me, I mean there was one time I ordered an Uber but that particular driver was extremely rude and looked like he had a permanent stick up his ass. No offense.

"Morning" I responded with a smile of my own. Then we began the journey to my office.

..........................

Work had gone extremely slow today and I dreaded every second of it. But I was beyond the borders of happy that it was already closing hours now, and I was also quite happy that I didn't have any contact with my boss throughout today. After what happened yesterday I'm pretty sure my reasons were very valid.

"Beth Mr Hamilton is asking for you" Des suddenly came into my office and said.

Fuck my life.

"Wh-y?" I asked, shuddering a little. Des looked at me weirdly, I really couldn't Blame her.

"He is our Boss Beth I'm pretty sure he has every reason to ask for us when he needs us to do work for him" Des chuckled still looking at me like I was an alien of some sort. Still couldn't Blame her.

"Right" I muttered.

I was really not looking forward to seeing him again, I mean after he quickly teleported me back to my room and vanished immediately after that yesterday, I honestly didn't think he would be too eager to see me either. Plus the Sparks I felt anytime I was close to him was really questionable.

Immediately I stood up and began my journey to Mr...Sek..let's just say to his office. I really don't know what to call him at this point in time. He did say I should call him Seker though.

I made sure I walked slow. Yes I was purposely stalling. But sadly at the end I still reached his office door. I was about to reach out my hand to knock when I heard a firm 'come in' much to my surprise. How did he know I was here already? Right I almost forgot he was the actual Angel of death.

Yup it still sounds weird saying that.

When I entered the office I made sure I looked everywhere but at him.

"Please look at me Amica mea I don't bite" his deep voice still did something to me just like last night, hell even before last night, and I'm not too sure I like the effect it had on me if I'm being completely honest.

"I mean one can't be too sure" I muttered to myself.

Looking up the amused smile on his face told me he heard me perfectly. why does he have to be this handsome again?

"Always the firecracker" I didn't comment on what he said instead I tried to avoid talking about whatever happened yesterday.

"You called me Mr Hamilton?" A dark look crossed his face. He wasn't happy that much I could tell.

"Is everything okay?" I continued acting oblivious, but I sure as hell knew the reason for his unhappiness.

"I told you to stop calling me that, didn't I Amica mea? Just call me Seker, enough with the formalities" he said softly almost like a whisper. I still tried to act clueless.

"We are going to have to talk about yesterday Bethel, you can't avoid it forever" I liked the way my name sounded coming out of my mouth.

"Avoid! Me? Who was the one that left in a haste yesterday huh?" I finally blew, I was pissed. How dare he accuse me of doing something he did first.

"You are right. I apologize for my behavior yesterday" he sighed looking genuinely sorry while saying it. I wanted to forgive him completely but he hasn't still answered my question yesterday.

"I will forgive you as soon as you answer the question I asked you yesterday" I said taking my stand. I wasn't going to be swayed easily.

"And that would be?" He teased. I rolled my eyes was he trying to play smart.

"What does an angel want from me of all the billions of people on planet earth?" I asked once more.

A dark look passed his face just like before, he didn't say anything for sometime, but then finally he spoke.

"I would love to tell you Amica mea, trust me I really would but sadly I can't, if I did I would be messing with fate and trust me those three old hags are incredibly annoying to deal with even for me" I didn't really dwell on the fact he just confirmed to me that the fates were actually real, and are just like how those Greek mythology books described them. He continued "But please trust me Bethel, when the time is right I will definitely tell you" Trust him? I didn't even know the guy for Christ sake, just that he was my boss that's all. But something in me was telling me to give him a chance and trust him. Much to my annoyance.

"Okay" I said with a shrug. I was positive my answer shocked him, he had that disbelieved look on his face. He looked so cute that I didn't even know I laughed out loud. I might be stupid for trusting him, I mean he was the grim reaper and all, but I couldn't help myself. And that was the truth.

"You humans never cease to amaze me" he said shaking his head with a smile.

I still couldn't believe I was talking to an angel More specifically the Angel of death, who was apparently also my boss. My life just turned into a weird supernatural book.

Lost in my thoughts I didn't know when he suddenly appeared a lot closer to me. Surprised I took a step back.

"Seker what are you doing?" I asked, not even realizing I called him by the name he wanted me to call him. He grinned in approval when he heard me mention his name.

"I want to take you somewhere. Hold on tight" was the only thing he said.

Walking closer to me he placed one hand on my shoulder and the other firmly on my waist. The gesture making my insides to do all sorts of things.

He then did something else that left me completely baffled. I looked towards his back and saw something white sprung out. Is that what I think it is? No, it most definitely can't be.

"W-in-gs?" I shuttered out mystified.
