Part 2
Angel's POV cont'd
I freeze in shock and I think Samuel noticed it cause he switch off the TV and moved closer to me what's wrong? He mouths but I just shake my head
"What do you want Chris ?"
"Ooh, do I make you angry baby girl?" And I lost it justifyingly
"I thought I made myself crystal clear the last time not to call me that"
"You know you love it"
"I don't, it disgusts me and creeps me out"
"Do not tal--" I do not get to hear whatever it is he said cause Samuel snatched my phone from me
SAMUEL'S POV
I snatch the phone from her when I noticed her getting too agitated, I was curious and confused as to who she was talking to
"And who might you be?" I ask the caller
*No response*
"He doesn't talk?" I turn and ask Angel when I didn't get a reply from the caller but she doesn't get to reply cause he decided to talk
"I do talk and do you know who I am?"
"Uhm, am I supposed to know you ?" I ask confused, he can't be the president so I don't understand why he's asking that
"I see she hasn't told you who I am"
Oh" I can guess who you are"
"Really?, then who am I? Samuel"
"You're probably a spiteful ex boyfriend that can't seem to let go of the past. That being said I don't think I told you my name"
"You're correct, I am her ex. And you don't need to tell me your name I knew it was you from the moment you spoke cause she can't be with someone else except who she's pathetically pining for"
"Hold up, hold up, let's make somethings clear. She isn't pining for me cause the feelings are reciprocated and you don't have to place your own fault on someone else just because you're pained"
" I see where she got her bratty behavior from " he says chuckling and I felt pure disgust all over my body
"Well, can't say I'd prefer her otherwise. I love her bratty, so deal with the stick shoved up your ass"
" Well, that's your problem. Baby girl, I can probably guess you haven't told him about me and other things have you? " And I felt Angel tense beside me. He chuckles when she doesn't reply" that's what I thought. I'll advise you to hurry up or you might not be the one telling him"
" Shut up. I'd tell him when I want to " she says into the phone
" Oh, baby girl. That's not your choice to make, well it wouldn't be your choice anymore if you don't tell him soon"
" None of your business"
"It'll be when he leaves you cause he can't be with a dirty person and you return to me again " I could hear her breath hitch when he said dirty and I was getting more curious but I couldn't pursue answers at her expense
" You're just jealous cause you can't have her" I tell him and I don't even wait for his response and end the call. I place the phone down and turn Angel to face me
" You shouldn't believe him. I wouldn't leave you for anything even if you want me to leave I wouldn't leave you alone"
She hiccups and start crying " you don't understand the magnitude of this matter, that's why you think it's irrelevant "
" I don't care about that baby, all I want is you and all about you whether the good or bad"
" No, you don't understand "
" Alright then" I say moving her into my arms "make me understand then"
Her voice comes out muffled" you might leave me cause of it and I haven't even experienced how it feels to be in a relationship with you yet, we haven't had our first anniversary, our first kiss, we haven't celebrated our first day together, first n--"
"Shh shhh, I got you covered darling "
"Even if it makes me look selfish, I do not want to lose you"
"That doesn't make you selfish darling"
"It does when you know what I'm talking about" she sniffles and looks at me
" Then tell me"
ANGEL'S POV(before you strangle me, I also don't know why I'm switching it )
My heart caught in my throat and my eyes glazed over with those three words. Tell him? Can I really do that ?
If I tell him, he'd leave me. No one would want to be with a murderer, I wouldn't even be with one. How do I expect him to stay with me when he knows ?
But what if he doesn't leave me?, that's very unlikely
"Angel?" As my unfocused eyes look around they fall on his concerned ones and I look away instantly, I couldn't withstand him looking concerned about me when he's going to run faster than a bullet when he hears what I've done
"Baby?" I shake my head
"What?, you don't like that? " He chuckles " you don't like being called baby? "
I shake my head again" what's wrong, talk to me"
" I-i can't" I say and I burst into tears again I've been crying a lot today "if I tell you, you're gonna leave me. And I don't want you to leave me even if you h- h-a-te me, i wouldn't allow it "
He chuckles lowly" don't cry my love. You're just being paranoid, I'm not going anywhere and all I'm seriously getting from this conversation is that you do not want to lose me. Am I that important to you? "Eyes that suddenly looked filled with meaning meets mine, I couldn't even find the energy to say he's not important so I tell him the truth
" Y-yes. You're very important to me so please don't leave me, mhmm? "
" Tell me and I won't leave you"
" I can't "
" Why? "
" It's a very bad thing and I promise you I'll stop it. I'll leave right now to quit it if I could but I have to see the higher ups firstly and some other things. "
" Higher ups? " He asks but if I wasn't so disoriented I'd have noticed the underlying prompting in his voice
" Oh yeah. They're the ones that control the gang but not really though, the real owner is Roman and he wouldn't really say anything and he might be cool with it but the higher ups might think I'm being proud or I'm defecting and I'm going to betray them or something, they are always so paranoid" I shut up when I see him looking at me with his mouth open
"Samuel?" Whats wrong with him?, is he okay?, did I say something wrong? Wait wait hold up, hold up. I hope I didn't spill anything, gosh there's really something wrong with me come to think of it I felt some cramps this morning.is it what I'm thinking of ?..... Spill?, I couldn't have done that right?, what's wrong with me?, now he's going to think I'm researching ways to murder him in my brain, is that even reasonable?
"Angel, you're kidding right?"
"Uh, no?"
"Why would you do that?" He asks looking like I told him I jumped off on a cliff once funny
"I told you I made some bad decisions one time right?, this is it. Here goes When I left, I dated Chris cause he seemed like a great guy now I know how big of a lie that is. Anyways, we met one day at a coffee shop and we clicked then we started hanging out together and he asked me out and I accepted cause I didn't see a reason to not. One evening at his house he introduced me to weed, I was scared to try it at first but when I did try it, I thought it wasn't so bad so that continued for a while until a day I went over without informing him cause I was with the key. Yeah we were that serious even if I didn't tell my parents"I answer when I say his confused face" I went inside and i cleaned the house and i slept after cause I was tired, when it was around I think after 11 he came in with a blood soaked shirt. I was scared so I screamed, I didn't really recognize him cause he looked feral. "
" After I calmed down, he explained that he was in a gang and since I've seen him, he either has to end me or I join the gang so I did initially out of fear cause if i didn't do what he said he might hit me. Yeah he hits me too" I explain again " After being in the gang for sometime, the leader made me the advisor for the gang making me the right hand of the leader and I think Chris thought I didn't deserve it so he lied.
We were supposed to go against a rival gang so I noted their weaknesses from someone that went undercover there and I also noted their strength along side ours and he stole the record book, sold it to the leader of our rival gang and then he went ahead at told the leader that i was the one that sold intel to them and i was almost killed as a betrayer of the gang if not for the fact that I've always told the Roman every one of my actions concerning the gang. After I was cleared, I fought him not too much damage but enough to make him regret crossing me and the gang" I finish and I look at Samuel to see him look like he's in pain
" When?.... When did he start hitting you? "
Oh " uh, I think it started when he was in the shower and I picked up his phone cause it was ringing and he got mad so he hit me"
" Where? " He asks his voice hard
Why all this questions? " On the face" and he stayed quiet
"Are you okay?"
"I'm going to kill that waste of space whenever I set my eyes on him. Why would he hit a woman?, that's not done"
"Can you even fight?"
"Oh, are you challenging me to one?" He smirks "cause I'm too scared to fight you Mama"
"Get out" we both chuckle and we move back to the couch to continue the movie
I know he didn't say anything about what I said but I have a feeling it's not going to be that bad and I know he's trying to make me calm so he's acting nonchalant, I just hope this doesn't change things between us cause I wouldn't survive that
