Dr. Strange

8~

The following day Angelica was walking around the courtyard when she saw Strange walking towards the library, she picked up her pace and walked behind him.

"Looking good Stephen" she said and he stopped causing her to run into his back and fall backwards. Before she hit the ground, she felt two arms wrap around her and stand her back up. She looked up and saw Stephen looking down at her.

"Clumsy much?.. you really think I look good?" He asked smirking.

"You always look good" she said inches away from his face. She noticed how close they were so she took a step back and cleared her throat.

"You're heading to the library?" She asked.

"Uh yeah, I'm gonna see if Wong will give me a book on astral projection" he replied.

"You know Wong. I doubt he would but it's worth a shot. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute, i have to go and teach a class with Mordo" she sighed.

"Alright. You still coming to my room tonight?" He asked.

"Ofcourse, what ever it is that you have to tell me must be important" she said and winked before walking away. He smiled as he watched her walk away before turning and continuing on towards the library.

"I saw that. You two are getting close" Mordo said walking by.

"Shut up Mordo!" Angelica yelled.

The day went fast and before Angelica knew it, it was night time. She finished her final teaching session before she started walking over to Stephen room. She hoped it wasn't too late and he thought she forgot about him. She walked slowly to his door and stopped, she hesitated before knocking softly and opening the door.

"Stephen?" She asked and she saw his astral form reading a book while his real body slept.

She smiled and walked in further, Stephen heard the noise and turned to her.

"Oh hey Angelica.. I knew you'd come. Uh give me a minute" he said as he placed the book down and went back into his body. He opened his eyes and stretched before sitting up. He sat at the edge of the bed and patted the empty spot on the bed next to him, Angelica moved forward and sat next to him.

"You were busy.. do you want me to come later?" She asked and he shook his head.

"No it's fine, I'm just glad you're here" he smiled. She chuckled and looked over at the book he was reading and saw it was indeed the book about Astral Projection.

"Wong actually gave you the book?" She asked surprised.

"Sort of" he said and chuckled nervously.

"Stephen Vincent Strange.. what trouble did you cause?" she asked a smile forming.

"I may or may not have opened a portal to the library and... stole the book" he said sheepishly.

"Thats forbidden. Oooh Wong is gonna tell one you" she laughed.

"I hope not. Listen, I just wanted to tell you something" he said getting serious.

"Ofcourse, you can tell me anything" she replied.

"These past couple of months, I've felt so drawn to you. And I guess what I'm trying to say Angie is.. I like you, more than a friend" he blurted out and she stood there surprised.

"I understand if you don't like me back" he quickly said.

"It's not that Stephen.. I just thought you didn't actually like me like that" she admitted.

"Who wouldn't? You're beautiful" he whispered as he leaned in closer to you.

"You're the definition of perfection" he added before softly placing his lips on hers. She was surprised but quickly kissed him back. He pulled away slowly, his forehead touching hers.
