~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up in the arm's of an angel so to speak. I have been watching him sleep for sometime and studied the was his chest moved up and down with every unneeded breath he took, the ow. I way his mouth was partly open. I always knew deep in my heart that I had more feelings for him besides friendship. It took me a long time to admit it to myself. I knew I could never tell him or anyone for that matter of my unwanted feelings.
I didn't notice when he woke and I found him looking down at me. He made no effort to move and I didn't ask him to. The truth is I didn't want to.
After the whole night sleeping I noticed the cupcake in my hand. As I looked at it, all the memories rushed back at me. Tears started to build up in my eyes. My parents, my mom and dad didn't even remember my birthday.
He tilted my chin up so I would be looking in his dark brown eyes. Finally the tears fell. As soon as the first one touched my cheek, his eyes darkened even more with grief and sorrow. He cupped my face with his giant hands as his thumbs wiped the wetness off my face. I clung to him like a new born baby to its mother. He hugged me tight, making sure I wouldn't go anywhere.
I closed my eyes trying to find peace. It didn't come. I started sobbing then, wishing I had a better life. He rocked me, back and forth trying so hard to make me feel better. He didn't know what that what he was doing was all the help I needed.
"Just cry." He said, "Just cry."
He knew what I needed. He didn&'t do what everybody else does, he gave me...release, time. I think he know's what it feels like not to be loved, but he's wrong...because I love him. Once again I fell asleep in his arms and once again he held me. We woke up just before sunset.
"Angel?" I asked
"Mmmmm?" He looked down at me.
I looked up to return his gaze, "Thank you."
He looked at me but, he didn't return that thank you with words. He cupped my face, closed his eyes, bent down and kissed me. It took me a second to realize what was going on. I soon forgot about everything around me and fell into his kiss.
We pulled away and looked into each other's eyes looking for some sign.
The End
