An Angel's Love

My Talents

Michael took me back to his apartment after class.

"You were truly amazing Elera! How many more talents do you have up your sleeve?"

"I don't know, what else do you consider to be a talent?" I could do many things humans could not, but I'm not supposed to show them off as talents or anything since to us they are normal. I guess I could expand my hidden wings and fly, but that doesn't seem normal here.

"I don't know, do you play any instruments?" He asked, curiosity in his eyes.

"I can play the harp, but I never tried playing other instruments." I loved to play the harp, I was very good at it and had played for a long time.

"You should try, I have a piano in the apartment, would you like me to show you how to play it?" I looked up at him and nodded my head vigorously.

"I would love too! When can we start?" He laughed a little and I let out a small giggle.

"So eager to learn, I love it. We can start tonight if you'd like?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

I smiled and nodded. As we walked, I felt myself lean closer to his direction. He was a nice guy, and obviously very attractive. I found myself wanting to hold his hand but refrained. He probably didn't feel the same way and would feel uncomfortable with my gesture.

He opened the door and held it open for me to walk in first. I passed by him and he told me to meet him in his room. Shortly after I had sat down on his bed, I heard someone walk in the room.

"Hey, Michael, have you seen my phone charger?" A male about the same age as Michael walked in. He had brown hair and green eyes, he was muscular and tall. "You are definitely not Michael." He said as he glanced at me.

"No?" I said sounding more like a question. Right then Michael came in with some milk and cake on a tray for the both of us.

"Hey, Alex, how was the party?" Michael asked with a light smile.

"It was alright, have you seen my charger by any chance?"

"Yeah, it's by the couch in the living room."

"All right thanks," Alex turned to face me and said "If you get bored with Michael, I'm in the last room down the hall." He winked and I looked over at Michael, who just rolled his eyes.

"Get out of my room already!" Michael said both irritated and jokingly, but still dragged him out of the room. I giggled at the way Alex kept winking and telling me to call him.

"I'm staying here tonight anyways!" I said with a big smile, big mistake.

"Oh really," Alex said with a smirk on his face. He turned to look at Michael and patted him on the back. "Nice job, man! She's just a hook up, though, right?" I saw Michael's face turn bright red as he finally got rid of Alex.

What did Alex mean by that? Did Michael always bring girls over and 'hook up' with them? Has he been with many girls?

"I brought you some cake, if you'd like some." he said nervously. I nodded and sat next to him on the small sofa, as he had called it earlier, and leaned next to him to get my fork. He had gotten a lot of cake on one plate which we both ate from. He turned on a screen in his room and images flashed in front of my eyes. What is that contraption?

"Is there anything you want to watch on television?" He asked. So it's a television.

"No, it's fine. You can decide." I smiled gently. He placed his right arm behind me on the sofa and I felt my body naturally move closer to him. I looked up, worried he might feel uncomfortable. But instead, I found him already looking at me with a genuine smile.

"This is a good cake," I said breaking the silence. "What kind is it?"

"Angel cake." He said simply, his attention still on the television. He had decided to watch a film.

Angel cake. I looked down at the cake and lost my appetite.

"Don't you want any more?" He said glancing at me.

"No, I'm full." He set the cake on the side table and nodded.

"Shall we start your piano lesson?" He asked.

"Yes!" I said excitedly. I skipped happily over to the piano in his room and he chuckled.

He began by teaching me the song I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith. I easily understood everything he instructed and we both began to play the song together.

"Wow, you're a natural!" He said smiling, obviously pleased at how easily I caught on.

"Thank you." I said as I felt a blush creep it's way onto my cheeks.

"It's as if you were put on this planet to make music!" He said smiling at me. Wait, what did he just say?

It's as if you were put on this planet to make music. The words echoed in my head. Perhaps I was brought here to make music! Finally an idea flew through my mind!
