“I just wanted to help him. Because I know...what it feels like to be thrown away. Left alone. In the dark.”
His chest burned hot as he raised his hand on the glass, aching for his sweet angel.
“I always prayed for somebody to save me,” she gasped, wiping her tears and shaking her lowered head. “And I realized,” she said, hitting him with her beautiful gaze. “I was getting a chance to answer my very own prayer.” She nodded at him. “In saving him...I saved me too.” She sputtered a little laugh. “It’s silly,” she barely whispered.
“It’s beautiful,” he whispered back. “Just like you. Inside and out.”
She managed to blush and laugh and cry and the sight filled him with unspeakable need that hurt to the very depths of him. “I want you for myself. My very own angel.”
Her brow furrowed with agony. “Oh, precious man,” she whispered fervently. “Youwillget your angel, you’ll see.”
“What if he doesn’t ever come back? Will you be mine then?”
Anguish filled her tiny face. “Don’t say that,” she pled soflty. “Don’t ever say that, you don’t know,” she said, shaking her head. “You have to have faith, you have to believe.”
His tongue was on fire with the confession she needed to hear, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it. He needed to experience his angel just like this. To see her deepest yearnings and breathtaking beauty up close and right in his face.
No. He wasn’t ready to stop. Not yet.
“Will you be my friend until I get my own human that will never be as good as you?”
He smiled at her burst of laughter. “You’re teasing,” she said, blushing. “Of course I’ll be your friend, I kind of have to. I’m a nun,” she informed on a whisper.
“And what if you weren’t a nun?”
She grew serious. “Maybe not.”
“Why?” he wondered, already smiling, before he heard her answer.
“Because you’re quite handsome,” she admitted quietly, her gaze avoiding him as he laughed again. “Oh,” she said, regretfully. “With a handsome laugh too.”
“I promise to behave.”
She looked around his room. “Do you live here?”
“For now. Until I get my own room, I guess.”
“When will you?”
“I don’t know.”
She nodded, seeming to think. “When do you suppose you’ll be getting your...human to link to?”
He shrugged, wondering what his next upgrade would bring him. “I’m set to grow five years each day.”
He relished in her shocked expression. “You’ll be a thousand years old in a year!”
He laughed at that. “I started at twelve years old. I stop at thirty-two.”
“So...how old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
“Seventeen!” she gasped. “You’re not even a legal man!”
He smiled. “Don’t I look like a legal man?”
Her sputtered reactions were pure entertainment. “I suppose you do,” she said, back to avoiding him then she snapped her wide eyes on him. “When did you turn seventeen?”
