A Little Piece Of Heaven
Good Morning World Part 1
Chapter Four:
“Angela, wake up.” A soft voice pulled me from my dreams. I opened my eyes to a very awake Jace. I smiled.
“Morning,” I whispered, burrowing back under the covers. He laughed and took away my blanket. I frowned but got up. “What time is it? I don’t remember setting an alarm last night.”
“It’s a little after six. You’ve got time to get ready and we can still get breakfast.” He told me. I nodded.
“I’ll shower first. It’ll take me longer to get ready. I’ll be out in a few – don’t worry. You’ll still have time to primp.” I laughed.
“Yuck it up, Gel. Just wait and see what you’ll wake up to tomorrow.” He threatened.
“You’re all talk.” I told him, running to the bathroom. I locked the door and got into the shower. It’s so easy to forget how bad things are when he’s around. He’s my bubbles. He keeps me happy. I’ve never had a closer friend than him.
I finished in the shower and dried off. I moisturized my body before caking on the concealer. I had to cover my wrists and my waist before I could start on my face. I’m just thankful it’s waterproof and a bitch to get off. I grabbed a robe before letting Jace shower while I picked out clothes. I slipped into violet jeans, a black quarter-length blouse and a gray fitted vest. I finished covering my face and basic makeup before putting on my new gray and black, studded, peep-toe pumps.
I listened to music while I waited for Jace to finish up in the bathroom. I swear, he takes longer than any woman to get ready. It’s crazy.
Rage in the cage and piss upon the stage.
There’s only one sure way to bring the giant down.
Defunct the strings of the cemetery things,
With one flat foot on the devil’s wings.
I went into the bathroom and sat on the counter while Jace finished his final touches.
“Are you almost done?” I asked him. He chuckled.
“You can’t rush perfection.”
“Yes, you can.” I told him. “I’m doing it right now. I’m hungry. Let’s go.” I told him.
“Okay, okay. I’m done.” He grabbed his school stuff and followed me out the door. He walked over to his car.
“I can drive. It’ll save you gas if you’re coming back here, later.” I told him. He shrugged and got into my Mustang. I drove to our usual place. I saw Matt as I pulled in. I couldn’t help smiling to myself. Hopefully I don’t spaz all over him again. I almost died from embarrassment the first time.
Jace and I got out together. I glanced over at Matt and saw him looking my way. I couldn’t look away. I slowed down. He was talking with some guy. He’s a little bit shorter than him and has a little facial hair. He’s just as attractive. Why do hot guys always travel in packs?
“You want me to get a table?” Jace asked me once we got close to Matt, seeing my interest in him.
“Yeah, I’ll catch up. I have someone to bump into.” I told him. Matt laughed. His friend nodded knowingly. Jace went inside.
“I’m Brian.” Mystery man introduced.
“Angela,” I told him. He smiled.
“Well… I’ll let you two flirt.” He excused. I blushed. I didn’t say anything until he was out of earshot.
“You didn’t run into me yet.” He teased. I smirked and bumped his butt with my hip. He laughed. “That’s more like it.”
“You can’t say I’ve never done anything for ya.” I chuckled. He smiled.
“You a senior?” He asked. I nodded.
“Are you?”
“Yeah. I’ll be glad when school’s out, but I think everyone is.” His eyes twinkle when he talks. My God. He’s gorgeous. I wonder if he’s seeing anyone. I know I’m not looking for anything right now, but I don’t want some girl to go ape shit on my ass, either. I just need to work up the courage to ask. I can do this. I can do this. I repeated my mantra.
“Are you seeing anyone?” I blurted out the words before I could stop myself. He stopped and looked at me. He looks surprised about my question.
“Not at the moment,” he replied. I nodded.
“Good to know.”
“Why?”
“Just curious,” I looked in his eyes. He’s so tall.
“What’s the deal with you and Atwood?” He asked. I shrugged.
“We’re friends.”
“That’s not all it looks like.”
“We’re close.” I countered.
“So you wouldn’t mind giving me your number?” He asked. I blushed.
“I guess not.”
“Angela, wake up.” A soft voice pulled me from my dreams. I opened my eyes to a very awake Jace. I smiled.
