TEEN ANGEL (9/10)
"We need to talk" Angel and Willow both said. They looked at each
other and
smiled.
"You first" Willow said. She saw Katie hovering near by and smiled
at the
ghost. It had been a little over a week since they had first met
the girl.
Willow was actually getting used to her being around.
"I'm not good at this" Angel said, making a face.
"Good at what?"
"Emotions and things" he replied, looking at her face.
"Just spit it out" Willow urged, hoping he wasn't telling her that
he was
tired of hanging around with her. The last week had been the happiest
of her
life because of him.
"I love you" he said, groaning as he added, "That's real good. I
had planned
to give this romantic speech and I knew exactly what I wanted to
say....."
"I love you too" Willow said softly, a large smile on her face.
"What?" he asked, wanting to make sure he had heard her correctly.
"I love you. The last week has been amazing" she started, glad to
see the
happiness in his dark eyes. "I think I fell long before that though."
"Yay!" Katie sang out, clapping.
Both of them turned towards the ghost, having forgotten she was
there. "Guess
you did."
"Yep, I sure did" Katie said, looking around the school. "Well,
I assume I
will be leaving soon. I'm so happy for you guys. You make a fantastic
couple."
"Thank you Katie" Willow said softly. She knew if it hadn't been
for the girl
that she and Angel would have continued dancing around their feelings.
"Welcome Willow. Just remember, life is too short to spend at the
table
alone!" Katie said. She looked at Angel, "Take care of her Mister."
"I will" Angel said, smiling at the ghost. He looked back at Willow,
"Would
you like to go for ice cream or something?"
"Sure" Willow said. "Bye Katie."
"Bye" Katie called out. She watched them leave, a smile on her face.
She
turned, finding herself in a beautiful place. The sun was high
overhead and
there were flowers all over. She heard footsteps and faced a beautiful
dark
haired angel. "Hello."
"Katie" the angel said softly, "You have done so well. Exactly as
you were
told."
"Thanks" Katie said, "It was pretty easy. They were already in love.
They
just needed someone to open their eyes to it."
The angel laughed softly, "Their eyes are definitely open now. Such
a sweet
little girl."
"Yes, she's swell" Katie said. "She loves him a lot."
"Good. That love will help them both open their eyes to everything
around
them. Go, now, sweet Katie. Your help is appreciated."
"Good day" Katie said, closing her eyes and finding herself in a
happy place.
The dark haired angel smiled as the ghost faded. The vision of Angel
and
Willow leaving the room together made her smile as she said softly,
"Very
well done, sweet Katie."
