For Josh’s bday, here’s the newest chapter of Angel, Chapter Ten is being written :) Enjoy
“But a week is a long time,” she confessed. “Don’t you think it’s better to go on a weekend to San Francisco first or something? Or Vegas?”
“Vegas?” I asked her with a despicable look on my face. “And get married right away, or what?”
“You’re sure you wanna take him?” Kate tried to conceal the despite in her voice, but she dramatically failed in my opinion.
“Yes, Kate, I’m sure,” I smiled, but I was running out of patience. “By the way, you’re the reason I had to look for another travel companion in the first place.”
I had her. The look on her face went from judgmental to guilty in a flip second.
“I told you I’m sorry,” she defended herself for the hundredth time. “I explained it to you, I barely have a choice. I’d love to go to New York with you, I really do.”
“I know, I know, I’m just torturing you, you know that’s my specialty,” I tried to reason.
“Okay then.” She cracked a smile. “But I still want you to be careful, you barely know this guy.”
“That’s true,” I admitted. “But he’s a good guy, I feel that. And besides, if he tried something, you really think I would let him get away with it easily?”
“No,” Kate smiled, thinking back at the many crotches of disillusioned guys I had smacked with my feet before.
In a way, she was right. I barely knew Josh, and now I was taking him on a trip to New York. For nearly two weeks. But the reason I took Josh, was because I knew it would be fun with him. No other reasons. I had no romantic feelings for Josh whatsoever, and I couldn’t picture Josh being in love with me. I mean, we had fun together and got along, but we were no couple material. We lived two completely different lives that would in no way be able to work together. It was practically impossible for us to engage in a relationship.
“When is he picking you up?” Kate shook me out of my daydream.
“Um, he should be here any moment,” I said, still a little dozed off from my thoughts.
