Angel's POV
I am happy
Very happy
I mean, I got free money and I also got time off. Not everyone is lucky to get all these things
And... I also have a date today. With who you ask?, of course it's Samuel
The last time we went out wasn't so pretty, we were supposed to get lunch together cause he was free but instead he found out about my medications and lectured my ears off, he seemed really pained though but it really wasn't my intention to hide things from him. I just couldn't find the right time
Back to the present, I am selecting outfits to wear and I haven't gotten anywhere with it. I barely slept cause I was excited, I am feeling giddy like a 16 year old on her first date. I mean I shouldn't even be this excited given the fact that I don't even know if he likes me, he said he does but I don't believe him like who just suddenly likes someone that you didn't have interest in previously. Isn't that suspicious?.
We are going for a movie and after that we'd be going for lunch cause the movie ends by 2:00 and it starts by 12:30 so i have to be ready by 12 but here i am by 11:20 and i still haven't decided what to wear. Pathetic
I don't believe he likes me, he might feel any other thing apart from love for me. Is it that he pities me ?, surely I'm not that pathetic am I?, do I look that desperate for attention, love and care?
Yup, this is it. I exclaim holding up the eventual choice of outfit; a black top and a high waist jeans trousers paired with a black cross bag, I thought about it and I decided wearing trousers is the right way to go cause wouldn't it be weird if I showed up wearing a dress when he knows I've always preferred trousers, he'd think i dressed up for him which might have been through by the way but that's beside the point.
After carefully picking out my choice of undergarments also, I rush into the bathroom to freshen up. As I soak in the bathtub, I feel my aching muscles start to relax and I have to force myself to wash after I've had my fill.
Standing up, I wrap my towel around my body and move outside into my room with obviously nothing underneath except my nakedness so you could imagine the amount of shock I passed through when I saw no one other than Samuel sitting on my bed looking comfy. I was speechless cause firstly; how the heck did the enter the house without a key?, secondly; isn't he too early to be here?, I mean I went into the bathroom not up to 10 minutes ago and he's already here making himself comfortable... I think my skills are lacking behind cause I haven't gotten any action recently. I open my mouth, ready to grill him with questions but he beats me to it
"Firstly, I do have a key cause your mum gave me one secondly, it wasn't 10 minutes ago, you'd have been there for almost 30 minutes if not more and lastly, which skills are we talking about here?, cause if it's your cooking skills you should still be to cook eatable foods"
" Are you a mind reader? " I ask dumbfounded
" Nope, I'm not. Guess again" he says amusement twinkling in his dreamy eyes
" Then how did you..... " I trail off trying to get my bearings from wherever they went during this conversation if I could call it that and then it hit me "I said it out, didn't I ?" I think the hot bath did something to me cause I still feel relaxed
" Wow, I'm impressed. I never would have expected you to crack this so easily" he says with mock pride
"You're a dumb idiot" embarrassed, I insult him to get him off my ass
"Well, if this is how a dumb idiot is being rewarded then I can't complain" he says eyeing me
"What do you mean rewarded?"
"A dumb idiot like me is being rewarded with a very nice and tempting image right now"
Tempting image?, is there a nude picture somewhere in my room that I'm not aware of?.wait hold up, he doesn't actually mean me right, he's kidding right ?
I look at him for answers and luckily he gives me before I can ask
"There's no nude picture in your room, not that I'm aware of anyways. I meant you and I meant it. While I enjoy hearing you speak your thoughts unconsciously, I'd rather me being the reason for you being that disoriented and why is it so hard for you to believe I am interested in you ? Or in other words, I like you, I fancy you? "
" You what? " I ask not believing my ears
" You heard me clearly the first time kitten, I said I fancy you. Why is it so hard to believe that ? "
" Leave my room" I say holding back tears as I move to my bedside and keep my head down in an attempt to hide the sudden tears that blocked my eyes
" What?! "
" Leave now I need to dress up" I choke out
" That's not the reason why right? "
" Just leave"
" No, we are not doing this again. I won't let you walk me out again, I want to stay with you" He says moving closer to me
" Why don't you ever listen to me? " I ask finally letting the tears pour

" Shh shhh I got you" he says pulling me into his arms. I try to move away but he wasn't letting me move away from him. I push at his chest lightly when I felt like I could talk without breaking down again " Let go of me"
" You're good now? "
" Yes thank you" I say nodding and cleaning my face
" Now would you answer my question please? "
" Which one Samuel?, be specific"
" I asked you why it was hard to believe I'd fancy you"
" Cause no one does that Sammy. You didn't have any interest in me not at all heck you didn't even notice me up until SHE broke your heart again. And now you just walk up to me and say you feel something for me ?. I think it's caused I've changed and I am not so available for you like before and you hate the change so you think you telling me you like me would make me stay, do I look that desperate for love and attention to you?. Do you pity me ?, is that it?. You think I'm hungry and desperate for love, care and attention don't you? ---" I get cut off in the mid- rant and I'm not liking it
" I'd have loved to have my moment by kissing you to shut you up but I don't think you'd appreciate that right now" he says looking unfazed by the glares I was throwing at him " now to answer your question, I don't pity you. I could never pity you. Of all the things I feel towards you pity could never be a part of it. Love?, maybe, attraction?, definitely, pity? NEVER. You're not a weak puppy or a spineless turkey that can't take care of itself"
Hiccup hiccup what?!.
" Now would you please wear some clothes?, it's only about some self control a man has especially when faced with such a beautiful sight" he says eyeing my towel like it's in his way of something sumptuous
I blush furiously and lightly hit his chest to conceal my embarrassment" well I told you to leave but you refused so it's definitely not my fault"
" You were crying Angel, do you expect me to leave you again ? "
" Whatever. Get yourself out of my room so I can dress or I make you leave myself "
" Please do"
Silence
Awkward silence
" Get out"
" Fine, I'll be downstairs " and he leaves but not before winking at me
" Idiot" I mumble under my breath and start dressing up before it hits me again. I just cried, freaking cried to Samuel and he calmed me down, it felt good to do that again just like old times
After dressing up, I make my way downstairs only to stop short to fine Samuel ravaging the freezer. The near empty one. I think my mum would soon throw me out cause it's like m leeching off them.... I get distracted by the way his muscle flexes in the body fitting shirt he wore, did i mention it was tight and very feelly . I shake my head to clear out my thoughts and clear my throat to announce my presence to him *clears throat*
" What do you think you're doing ?" His head shoots up fast in alarm that I thought he'd get whiplash but he relaxes when he sees it's me
"Was hungry, so I decided to check if you have anything I could eat in the freezer but apparently you don't have"
"Haven't you eaten this morning?"
"Didn't eat breakfast, only grabbed an apple from the fridge on my way here, wanted to keep my body fit for you"
"Idiot"
"I'm so famished, what can I eat?" He says closing in on me with a dangerous glint in his eyes
"Check if there's anything in the freezer" I say backing away from him a feeble attempt if you ask me
"Why?"
"Why what?" I ask still moving backwards until he corners me into the wall
"Are you afraid of me ?" He asks looking into my eyes with an innocent expression that made my heart melt
I shake my head no but he wasn't having it " words kitten. I need words, we wouldn't want someone walking in on us and thinking I was bullying you right?" He places his hand ever so gently that if I wasn't aware of his actions then I wouldn't know he placed it there
"Y-yes" I cringe at the way my voice came out, I sounded desperate for something
"Now answer me, do I scare you?" He says tracing an invisible line down the side of my face
"N-no"
"Then what?" He asks gently rubbing my cheek and I could swear I heard him purr at me
"N-nervous" I clear my throat and try again "you make me nervous" i say looking anywhere but him
" Mhmm" he hums "would you tell me why I make you nervous darling?"
Instead of speaking, I shake my head again. So he gripped my chin lightly and made me look up at him" I need words Angel, you're a little disobedient don't you think ?" He asks leaning closer to me
"I-i am not"
"Good girl, now tell me why I make you nervous" he whispers in my ears
" F-feelings" I stutter but he just hums and looks at me so I wasn't sure he heard me. Clearing my throat, I try again " Cause I still have feelings for you and that's scary"
" Why's that?"
" Cause I don't want to lose you"
" You won't lose me cause I'm not going anywhere "
" You don't know that, what if you find out I'm involved in some things you don't like"
He pauses like he was reconsidering his answer" when we get to that bridge, we'd cross it"
" It's whatever, let go of me"
" Why? " He asks almost pouting and I couldn't believe my eyes the great Samuel was pouting
" We need to go eat bruh or aren't you famished ? "
" I am, can't you just order in ? "
" Fine I will"
After he finally let go of me, I ordered food for us to eat and we decided to watch a movie till the delivery man comes. Funny how we planned to go out for a movie and food and we're still doing the same thing together just that we're inside the house
As I sit down after ravaging through random movies, I finally settled on Thor: love and thunder. We've watched it before though but the movie's interesting so don't blame me.
Before the movie even started playing I heard my phone ring from the dining table where I left it so I stood up to pick it up, upon getting there I saw it was an unknown number. I was puzzled and kept thinking who could be the person calling
"What are you doing standing there frozen like someone you obviously don't like just proposed to you?, the movie has already started" Samuel says looking confused as to why i was standing
"Shut up, I'm coming" I tell him and decline the call however before I could reach the couch the number called again so I mouthed to Samuel that I had a call to receive so he should lower the volume of the movie and he did so I picked up the call
PHONE CONVERSATION
"Hello, who's this ?"
"Hey, baby girl. Guess who?"
