You’re Not An Angel

Sam's POV*******

Her name kept on echoing in my mind.

Angel Lucy Ilves

Angel Lucy Ilves

Angel Lucy flipping Ilves!!!

Wow. I never thought I'd get to really know her. And looking at her now... I never knew that cat girl could be her...

My mind... Blown!

"Hey! Oy! Sam! Sam!!!"

My head snapped towards her. How long has she been calling me?

She suddenly giggled "Hehe. Surprised?"

I blushed "W-Well yeah..."

She threw her head back and burst into laughter "Let me guess. I'm way different from what you thought I'd be, right?"

I just nodded.

"I was this celebrity with this cold sophisticated look, but outside, I'm actually a mechanic, fixing people's cars."

I scowled "That was totally off point"

She laughed again. Her laughter was suddenly becoming contagious and I chuckled along with her.

"Though, it hurts a little that I asked for your name and you never bothered to know mine. I even had to ask Richie" she pouted.

I suddenly felt guilty

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't ask anyone because I don't like interacting with them... And when I tried asking Richie one time, you jumped in on our conversation" I explained

She raised a brow "You don't like interacting with people? So... What am I?"

You're special

"I guess... You're different. Haha." I nervously chuckled

She looked smug and said "Oh, I get it. It's because I'm an Angel! I'm not human. I knew I had special powers"

I just stared at her blankly.

An Angel? That's what she's going with?

If anything, she's a minx!

"You're not an Angel"

"Yes, I am. Else, why would you be talking to me so freely."

"Because..."

"Mr. Sam Lenard, the antisocial one, interacting with a girl. Hmmm. She is definitely not human." She teased.

My eyes twitched "You..."

"Oh, I know. Maybe it's because..."

I held my breath, waiting for her next statement.

She turned to me and leaned in close. My heart leapt out if my chest.

"Maybe it's because... You care about me ~~"

I suddenly let out a deep breath and scowled. I suddenly snapped and shoved her face away "As if. You're so annoying. Why would anyone care about you?"

Her face was blank but it was soon covered with a smile.

"Yeah... I am pretty annoying, huh?" She whispered.

I smiled back "You're really Annoying. I almost can't stand you"

She chuckled "I know... Right?"

"To think you're an Angel too? Gosh, I don't think an Angel could be that annoying. Honestly, you're just an annoying little minx"

I laughed at my own joke.

Angel's POV*******

I started feeling uncomfortable

The words he said hurt.

He was laughing at his last sentence and I couldn't control myself.

I gritted my teeth and wiped a fallen tear from my face.

Did he think it was a joke?!

"Yeah, yeah. I think I should go" I muttered

"What?"

He looked at me with a shocked expression but I turned away.

"Yeah... See ya" I mumbled and walked away.

I could feel his gaze on me, but I didn't care. Why did he insult me? Was it a joke to him? Was I a joke to him?!

I thought we were something more than aquintances. I thought we were friends... Even if he didn't see it that way. I thought we could be...

But I guess all he thought of me was an annoying little minx that just makes a living out of irritating him

If I disgusted him so much, fine! I'll stay away then. I should know when I’m not wanted.

"A-Angel?" He called and I bit my lip.

His voice sounded so pleading.

No! No! I'm not a pushover! He has to apologize for insulting me! I don't care if he doesn't know what he did. He must apologize!

I reached my bike and I was startled to see a teardrop on the handle.

Dang! I was crying now?!

Shoot!

I didn't care if anyone called me annoying. I didn't care if people called me names. It was a daily dose for me.

It was just him! The way he said it!

Ugh!

I couldn't hate him, though. How could I? It seemed like he was oblivious. Completely oblivious to the fact that he insulted me.

I left my tears fall painfully.

Damn you, Samuel Lenard!

"Angel..."

Shoot!

I wiped my tears and turned to face him with a calm look.

"Were... Were you crying?" He asked looking scared.

I just rolled my eyes. As brilliant as he was, he couldn't even figure out what he had said.

"No. Water is just coming out of my eyes" I snorted.

He bit his lip and looked down.

"What... What happened?" He asked.

Really? Really Samuel? You have the guts to ask me what happened?

"Nothing. I'm going home" I hissed and turned to my bike.

"Wait!" He yelled and grabbed my hand.

I glared at him and he flinched.

"What, Samuel? I can't go home anymore?"

"You... You can't go home... Not like this..."

"What do you mean, 'not like this'?"

"You're... You're angry... With me.... I... I don't want things to be awkward around us in school tomorrow..."

I just rolled my eyes "Don't worry. It won't. I'll stay away from you, I promise"

"Why? Why do you want to stay away from me?"

"Because I'm an annoying little minx, remember? And you can't stand me!"

He suddenly winced at the weight of his own words and gripped my hand tighter "Angel, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that..."

I scoffed "Then what did it mean..."

He blushed and I raised a brow "I... I like your company... I like being around you... I can't stand it when you're just... Too close to me... But you still get close nonetheless and... I... I like that..."

I just blinked. Did he really mean that?

He sure had a way of passing words.

I felt my chest lighten and I sighed "Really... So... You like it when I'm around you?"

He nodded.

"You like it when I tease you?"

He nodded again and smiled.

"And... You like it when I..."

I smirked mischievously and traced my finger on his fore arm "...touch you?"

His ears turned red and he moved back.

I giggled at how cute he was.

I guess... I could forgive him... Just this once...

He turned to look at me with big pleading eyes "So... We're okay now?"

Oh my God, he looked like a puppy.

I giggled and and flashed him a big smile "Yeah, we're okay"

He beamed and suddenly wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you, Angel"

I felt my cheeks burn but I slowly wrapped my arms around him. It felt so nice. His arms around me and mine around him.

What the?! No! No, we are not crushing on this boy, Angel!

He was just so bitter... Yet sweet...

Just like a lemon... I guess.

No! No! No! Stop thinking about lemon boy, Angel! Get that stupid song out if your head!

My mind was finally facing the incident before me. Samuel Lenard refusing to let me go.

"You're welcome, Sam" I whispered back to him and he squeezed me tighter.

He reluctantly pulled away and placed his hands on my cheeks.

"I'm sorry for making you cry. Please forgive me. Don't cry again. Please..."

Awwwn. Cheesy much?

Hehe.

I smiled and held his warm hands.

"Let's go, Samuel Lenard"

He just simply nodded and turned to leave.

"Aye! Where are you going?" I called him back

He turned around confused "I was just..."

"Get on, you big moron. I'm riding you home"

He smiled shyly, got on my bike and we rode off.

~~~

"Thanks for the ride, Angel"

I smiled at him. He was just so cute "Hehe. It's kinda cute that you call me an Angel"

He just rolled his eyes playfully "You're not an Angel"

"Says you"

His smiled broadened and I leaned forward to kiss his cheek.

"See ya, Sam" I waved and rode off.

Sam’s POV*******

What

Just

Happened

Did she... She kissed me...

Wow.

This whole day has just been... The best!

I couldn't hold back my smile as I ran in.

I saw my mom smiling as I walked in and I hugged her.

I ran to my room feeling excited.

Best!

Day!

Ever!

Oh, God.

She wasn't an Angel.

No, no!

She was waaaaay more than that.

She was a Goddess!

I stared dreamily at the ceiling and I sighed.

Angel Lucy Ilves... Cat girl.

Hehe

~~~

Samuel's mom's POV*******

I was waiting like always, for my son to come home.

Oliver told me that Sam had some other things to do so he would be coming late.

I wondered, What could he be doing so late?

He would never give up a chance to read his books for 10 hours straight. I really wanted to know what he was up to.

Then... I saw them.

It was the girl from before. They came together on a bike and my jaw dropped.

So that's what's he's been doing.

He's been with a girl... With a girl!

As a mother, I should scold him for going out with a girl, but I was too surprised to care.

My son was interacting!

We were always hoping he'd be like a normal boy and go out to parties late and night and stuff like that.

No! He never did that...

And boom!

He's going for it! He went deep into that river.

It's like the shock just....

Oh my...

I saw them talk for a brief moment and I smiled

He was really cute when he smiled. I just wished he hadn't stopped before.

Now, it was good to see my son smile again.

All thanks to this one girl.

She's worth making a holiday for.

Then...

(The number you dialed is switched off. Please try again later)

She kissed him. She actually kissed him.

My son was kissed by a girl!!!

A girl he likes!!!

He was blushing and he ran in.

I smiled at him to share my joy and he...

(The number you have dialed is non existent. Beeeeeep!)

He hugged me.

My son hugged me.

He hugged me...

My brain could not register it.

I was practically in tears.

I felt like the last time I was in my son's embrace was nearly 4 years ago.

I missed him.

I was do happy that this girl came into his life.

I hope she never leaves.

Call me crazy, but I'd tie her to the bed all day if it means my son is happy again.

Wouldn't you do that too, if you were a mother?
