Angel from Heaven

Chapter 11

"I'm going to poetry reading this afternoon. Do you want to go with me?" Helen suddenly asked.

"Sure.." I simply said while eating my breakfast.

"It'll be held at The Bridge Theatre. They said they'll start around 4 pm." She said.

"Oh.. okay.. I can go home early today." I said.

"You sure? How about your work?" Sipping her tea.

"Don't worry about that. I don't have much works to do anyway. Andre can handled everything." I grinned.

"Yeayy awesome! It's making me more excited!!" She said happily.

We continue talking and eating our food until it's time for me to go to work. I leave the house and drive to the theatre as usual.

"Hey boss.. where's your lady?!?" Andre asked welcoming me in my office.

"At home. Why?" I put my bag and other stuff on the desk.

"Nothing.. just asking. I thought I'll be seeing her everyday since she's your girlfriend now." He said.

I laughed, "she has life and job to do." I simply said.

"Yea yea.. whatever. It's just don't want anything bad happen between you two.. you're her first girlfriend in her entire life, don't mess her up" Andre said walking to the door.

I rolled my eyes, "of course. I would never messing with her. I love her! She's my everything" I stated. "Oh speaking about her... I have to go home early today. I have.. umm.. plans with her.. could you please be an angel and back me up with work?" I grinned.

He sighed, "okay! But don't let this be a regular thing! You know. Work attitude." He said.

"I promise it's just this one time" I smiled widely.

Andre left my room and I starts doing my job. I finished my work at 2. I skipped lunch and go straight home.

Once I'm at home, I went inside and I call out for Helen. She's not answering. She isn't in the kitchen or living room. I check upstairs, then I hear someone humming from my bedroom. My bathroom to be specific.

I knock at the bathroom door but she's still not answering. She can't hear me while taking shower. So I loosened up my shirt and wait for her on the bed. I suddenly dozed off.

I woken up by Helen's scream.

"WHAT THE-" I sat up in a second and ready to punch someone.

"Oh- oh I'm so sorry love.. I didn't hear you coming. You scared me. I'm so sorry to startled you" she apologize and sat beside me on the bed.

I sighed and throw my body back on the bed.

"I've been here for like 10 minutes and then I fell asleep." I told her.

"Hehe I'm sorry dear." She kissed my forehead.

"It's fine. I'm fine. I just need to gather my soul. They scatter when you scream." I said jokingly.

"I said I'm sorry.." she hit my thigh playfully, "I'm going to get dressed. Please be ready in an hour" she said and left.

I got up and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower then get dressed. It's not a formal event so I don't have to dress too formal. Just a casual, jeans and flowery blouse.

It only took me 30 minutes to get ready. I decided to make some sandwiches and wait for Helen downstairs.

While I'm enjoying my late lunch. Helen came in and join me. She grab my hand and take a bite of my sandwich.
