🎼"Ew." Henry and I snapped our heads to the doorway to see one of the twins standing there in a min black shimmery dress, hair out and face coated with dark make up. "Get a room before I throw up." She pretended to vomit, how immature can she get? Then her sister came into view wearing a silver mini dress. But I still can't tell the difference.
"Or maybe we should tell your mum.." The other sister said smugly and I glared at her.
"She already knows he's here."
"Hey Macy, hey Stacy." Henry greeted politely and they stared between us smirking.
"Let her have her fun, it's amazing how she can even get to first base with a guy." Macy or Stacy remarked and I rolled my eyes. As they giggled mischievously.
"Where are you guys going?"
"Out to a party, you know that boy Blaz will be there. You remember him since you guys were practically all over each other yesterday." Lying little bitches. I scoffed and when Henry looked at me warily I shook my head.
"That's a lie. And that's disgusting..." Well not really, I imagine with all his experience he must be a good kisser. I'm just thinking logically!
"Whatever freak. Come on Stacy lets go." The one in the black dress said and they disappeared, they heels making big clomping sounds. I hate them, I really do. I seem to have really horrible people surrounding me. Nicole, Blaz, the twins and now I have a random person calling me. That could have been anyone really playing a practical joke. Even Blaz although I don't know how he could have gotten my number.
"I saw the party as I was coming over. I don't know how a fifteen year old got ahold of alcohol, and what's with all the scary adults creeping around that place?" Henry said not looking at me. Creepy adults... Could he have more dark angels there, wherever there is.
"It's Blaz, what do you expect?" What a way to ruin the moment. We were actually about to kiss, Henry and I kissing.
"So you and Blaz..." No Henry can't believe that story. No just no, he knows how much I loathe Blaz.
"We didn't do anything." I assured and he looked like he wanted to believe me but couldn't.
"Did he try something?" I hesitated and he caught that then stood up looking mad. "I'll kill him." I doubt he take a dark angel. I stood up and grabbed Henry's arm then gazed directly in his eyes.
"He tried. But he failed, he won't be trying anything ever again." Hopefully. "I punched him and now he's going out with Nicole. There's nothing more to discuss." I said to him.
"You punched him?" He said almost doubtfully and I nodded.
"Never doubt me."
"I never have... Until now."
"Excuse me!"
"Lets just enjoy the movie." He hugged my waist and pulled me down to sit on his lap. I giggled and felt my cheeks heating up as he just behaved as if this was normal. I fit my head in his neck and took a relaxing breath. This is what I want, how come I never realised before. I really like Henry and I'm sure he likes me back.

We lay under the covers leaving some space between us in my bed.
"It's been a long time since we shared a bed." I said sounding seductive and he chuckled nervously staring at the ceiling. My phone started ringing and it's the number I didn't recognise earlier. So I didn't touch it... I gulped nervously and for the hell of it I picked it up and answered it. "Hello?" The other person is just breathing heavily. The hairs on the back of my neck rose up on end. "I can hear you breathing." I said through clenched teeth.
"Who is it?" Henry asked sitting up and I shrugged.
"Who are you?" I heard a low devilish laugh and I know it's a man on the other line. "Blaz if that's you I will kick your ass." He stopped laughing and made a low groan before hanging up. I found out who it was. Blaz, I caught him now he's annoyed well good. I put my phone back and then glanced back at Henry who sat there awkwardly.
"Was it Blaz?"
"Probably... I don't really know because all I heard was breathing. He's probably trying to scare me." I said and felt a little frightened. Because what if it isn't Blaz? What if it's some sick creep?
"You ok Angie?" Henry asked really concerned and I nodded too quickly so he saw right through it. "Do you want to tell your mum or..."
"No. Not unless it happens again. Lets just get some sleep..." I lay under the covers facing Henry and he lay on his back but turned his head to gaze at me sleepily.
"Remember when we were little and I came over for asleep over. And we went into your dad's office and found his phone book?" I winced at that memory, we called every person on his list making prank calls to some of his clients. I got into so much trouble.
"Yeah... Hey remember on your seventh birthday when your brother threw that tantrum because he didn't get any presents."
"Hahaha yeah that batman cake flew right at mum's face."
"It mistook her for the joker."
"Are you bad mouthing my mum?" Henry asked sarcastically and I laughed.
"She was dressed as a clown!"
"Still you've hurt my feelings." He whimpered mockingly so I used it as an excuse to snuggled with him. Resting my head on his chest and my hand on his stomach.
"Aww there there Henry. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings." I snuggled into his side and felt his heart beat go wild.
"Uh Angie..."
"We used to cuddle all the time. Don't be embarrassed." I teased.
"It's not that, I never have a problem with cuddling but I don't think the Cat or the little boy standing at the door appreciate it." I looked at him confused then rolled over to face the door where Michael stood holding Mr Cat in his arms, and wearing cute blue cowboy pyjamas.
"Michael? What are you doing up?" I asked and he walked over to the bed and let the cat crawl on before he climbed up.
"I wanted to meet your friend." He said and I scooted closer to Henry so Michael would have no choice but to sit next to me. "Are you Henry?"
"Uh... Yeah. I'm assuming you're Michael."
"Duh. Now tell me Henry how many girls have you kissed?" Michael asked and I scoffed while Henry rolled his lips and started blushing. I don't remember him ever telling me any of his crushes, in fact I don't think he's gone out with other girls apart from me.
"None." Henry said then glanced at me for my reaction. But I stared at Michael completely shocked that he would ask such questions.
"How many girls have you gone out with?"
"Why is it any of your business?" Henry asked him and Michael crossed his arms over his chest turning his away snottily.
"I need to know."
"Why?" Henry questioned.
"Because I just do. Now tell me!" Michael barked and I swear I'm going to die of embarrassment.
"Michael! Please stop it." I interjected acting calm.
"No wait a second Angie, how many have you dated?" Henry asked Michael and he remained silent.
"I asked you first."
"Why does it matter?" I cried out. "Listen how about we all go to sleep and stop asking such personal and inappropriate questions."
"He started it." Michael began and Henry stared incredulously at him.
"What? No I..." Oh my god this is worse than dealing with Ronny.
"Do you want me to tuck you into bed Michael."
"Yes please." Michael grinned up at me and I jumped out of bed. 'Meow' Mr cat followed leaping down next to my feet. I looked at Henry apologetically and he shrugged smiling at me. Michael grabbed my hand with his little hand and then Mr Cat leaped up on me so I caught him with my free arm.
"Jesus Christ." I murmured as the cat crept around my neck hurting me a little with his claws but he then dangled around my neck like a bony scarf with a face. "I'll be right back." I said to Henry disappointed by the whole situation and reluctantly walked Michael out of my room with Mr Cat purring softly around my neck.
"Jelly why is he here?"
"He wanted to come for a sleepover." I responded staring ahead.
"My sisters have guys come over late at night and I can here them making weird noises but I never see them the next morning." They have guys 'sleeping' with them! Would they have threesomes... Ew bad thought bad thought!
"Uh... You should probably tell your mum about that." We reached his room and I tucked him in giving him a goodnight kiss on the forehead then closed the door behind me. "What is with today?" I mumbled to myself and Mr Cat rubbed his head against my chin. "It's been weird and sad, I mean you sent a dying angel to me." I said to him as I walked back. "Why would you do that?" I asked him but he dosed off on me. "Fine then." I mumbled annoyed. Today has been one of the strangest days of my life, maybe I really shouldn't be getting involved in all this. Turns out Mr Cat wasn't asleep because he leaped off suddenly and ran off. I didn't follow this time, I really need to stay out of this for good so I will. I walked back into my room and Henry lay tiredly on my bed his eyes half closed. I slipped in beside him and he gazed at me then have me a lazy but somehow sexy grin. And he's not even trying.
"Angie there's this new arcade opening up this Saturday. Did you want to go check it out?" Henry asked and I felt my heart race as I smiled at him trying to act neutral. But then I frowned in disappointment.
"I can't this Saturday, I'm going dress shopping for my birthday." He nodded understanding and I continued on. I shouldn't say it. Don't ask. Don't ask, do not ask... "Did you want to come with us to help me?" I said it, I shut my eyes embarrassed for asking but then he said the unthinkable.
"Yeah sure, but you owe me." He stated setting his hands behind his head. And I laughed.
"Alright fine afterwards we'll go check out the arcade." I negotiated and we shook hands then I got under the covers once again and rested my head on his chest again. "Today's been so weird."
"What do you mean?"
"We'll for one thing you got spaghetti in you're hair." I felt him chuckle so I smiled.
"And yet you got the detention." He commented and I laughed.
"Completely unfair, I hate how she got away with it." Honestly teachers should know by now that Nicole causes havoc. "But I love the fact that Blaz is dating her. I'm telling you now death is better for him." Although are angels technically alive? They'd have to be since I saw one die at my feet. I winced and scrunched my eyes closed trying to get that image out of my head.
"I hate the guy but even I feel sorry for him." One of his arms hesitantly wrapped itself around my waist. I bit my lip and entwined my legs with his. "What did Erica have to say?"
"Not much." I lied. "She's pretty cool, it's amazing how she be related to the spaz."
"She's pretty hot too." I sat upright and stared down at him in surprise, ignoring the jealous feelings building up. He stared up at me with a pokerface and I got more of an uneasy feeling.
"Do you have a thing for her?" I asked calmly and he was silent for too long. "Oh my god..."
"No I don't but what about you?"
"I'm not a lesbian Henry." I smirked.
"No... I mean that Ranger guy. Do you like him?" Henry questioned and I stared at him horrified.
"No, apart from maybe a friend but that's about it. Besides he probably has no interest in me."
"Oh don't be so naive Angelica!"
"I am not." I whined probably sounding like a child.
"Please you don't even realise that..." He started and then just shut his mouth but I urged him on. "What?"
"Nothing just forget it." He laid back and turned over so his back was facing me and my chest tightened. He's never snapped at me before and I have no idea what to do in this situation. We don't fight so I crawled onto the bed snuggling close to him and resting my head on his head.
"Don't be upset Henry." I said wrapping my arm around his waist. "I'm sorry. Please don't be mad." I felt his body relax with a long sigh and so he turned around we lay there with our noses touching.
"What do you want for your birthday?"
"Just your presence."
"Seriously."
"I don't need anything."
"Tell me what you want."
"I don't know!" I exclaimed and he scowled.
"Well neither do I."
"Just don't bother it's not important." I stated and he growled in annoyance but gave up on it. I smiled victoriously then yawned hiding my mouth with my left hand.
"Time to sleep." He murmured then leaned over me to turn off the lamp. His masculine scent mixed with Doritos putting me at ease. But not exhaustion, I'm not tired just yet. "Goodnight Angie." He whispered when the lights were off.
"Goodnight." I whispered curling myself more into him. I'm not afraid of the dark, but he doesn't know that. I felt him hesitantly wrap his arm around my waist and we moved our bodies together until there's was only a little bit of space between us. I'm not sure how this is supposed to feel...
But I doubt it's meant to feel this awkward. I feel like I should say something but I kept my mouth shut admiring how the moonlight shows his angular features on his face. He doesn't have Ranger's high cheekbones, or that dark 'dare I say it' godly look Blaz has, there's no mystery to him, he's just an open book. He wants nothing from anyone. One smile and immediately you feel joy. God I think I'm blushing. See I've got to learn to keep out of trouble from now on, no more angelic business. I just need to work on my own real life. It's time to get out of this....
~🎶~
'Meow'
I gasped awake staring into the mystical eyes of Mr Cat standing over my head. I checked my new alarm and it read 2:06am. I looked at Henry beside me and somehow he'd actually moved to the other side of the bed. So close yet so far...
'Meow'
"It's two in the morning. What do you want?" I whispered careful not to wake Henry up. The black fur ball leaped down off the bed and stood in front of the door. "Really? Now? Mr Cat unless you want some milk I'm not dealing with the..." He hissed at me and I froze in shock. Why would he hiss at me? Is that his way of telling me to shut up?
'Meow' he meowed more demanding this time but I hesitated. I shouldn't, but I so badly want to, but I told myself I would stay away from trouble. Suddenly I was on the floor. Somehow Mr Cat grabbed my right leg pyjama bottoms and pulled me down to the floor with a great thump I yelped in surprise as then felt him drag me across the floor.
"Stop it." I hissed at him then he suddenly let go and I bolted straight furious. "I no longer can be involved in this if it means putting myself in..." Pain shocked me hard and silently gasped once it disappeared. That one this time seemed more suffocating me. "Danger..." Mr Cat simply blinked up at me then stared up at the door. "I'm not really sleepy anyway." I turned the gold doorknob silently opening the door then glanced back at Henry. He's so cute when he sleeps, his face just looks so at peace. I walked out of my room leaving the door open and stumbled into the cold darkness of the hallway. "Mr Cat? Where is it that I have to go?"
