Angel Story
As I gazed upon the face of the angel I was overcome with emotions. Awe, sorrow,
weakness and desire seemed to fill me to the point of bursting. Her eyes were
beautiful, seeming to hold all the wisdom and hope to be found in the world. Her
hair was captivating, rolling like the ocean and mesmerizing me with every
movement. I felt ecstatic and ashamed at the same time, here was a creature of
unimaginable beauty, yet compared to her I was a mere human, ugly and mortal. Then
I noticed her wings. Seared blac, they filled me with despair. Those wings proved
that even though she was immortal, her scheming and planning while on earth had
left her scarred even here. Suddenly I noticed the glint in her eyes when she
looked at me and I felt fear. As sudden as the first had appeared, another was
there. They seemed to know each other and began talking softly in a language
I could never hope to understand. Soon after they began laughing and pointing at
me, I could not help but feel a little paranoid, as they both had that same
mischievous glint in their eyes. It seemed to suggest playfulness but I wasn't sure.
Even before I had seen her move the first was on me with grace and speed. She
quickly took me to the ground and I though "This is it, I'm gonna die." Then
unexpectedly the other started tickling me, it was then that I noticed that her
wings were black as well. The laughter came from all three of us then, although
involuntarily from me. I wondered why they were doing this but then I realized that
I didn't care, the two most beautiful beings to be found on earth were trying to
play games with me! Thinking quickly and realizing they only wanted to have fun
and not hurt me, I grabbed the first one and rolled her over. Then I began to tickle
her. My God, the laughter that came out of her was melodic. I felt love for her
in that moment and I think I heard love in that laugh. Then she began to talk. Her
voice was as beautiful as she was, drawing me ever closer to her. I cannot clearly
recall what she said, only that her voice was wonderous. then as suddenly as
they appeared, they vanished, leaving me feeling empty and confused. I waited, standing
still in hopes that they would come back, they didn't. The next day I went to school
feeling upset and worried. Why had they teased me like that? It was then that I saw
the angel again and I realized that she had been beside me all along, I had
just never truly realized her beauty. I looked in her eyes and there was that glint
of mischief again and I knew that this was what the angel had meant, that I would
find one just like her on earth and that we were destined to be together. Thus
I finally truly saw Jen for the first time and thus I asked her out. Now I feel as
if the angel is constantly beside me in her, but now it is not the angel I look at,
but the girl.
thank you Jen for fixing this for me. Love you.
