Saved by Two Chapter Nine:

"Why do you call me Angle?"

Shocked i look over at her. My neck starts heating up as i reposition myself to look at her. "The first time i saw you i knew you were God'd angle to me. You were battered and dirty and you still glowed. You are beautiful and you are my angle. God sent me you."

Her cheeks heat up a bit and i lean over to touch her cheek excited i finally go her to blush. She flinches a little and when i try and pull back she grabs my hand holding it to her face. Her eyes close and she says "I'm not beautiful and i dont look like an Angle. I'm disgusting and ugly."

I scoff in horror angry someone told her that. "Avlon look at me." i say sternly and her eyes pop open."Never say that. Never talk bad about yourself. You are beautiful, amazing, strong, gorgeous,delightful,cute, exciting, smart and so much more. Never let anyone tell you different and never believe what they say. You are my beautiful angle and always remember that."

A tear leaks out of her eye and i wipe it away with my thumb. "You have gotten so far since you have been here and i am so proud of you. You are God's child and he doesnt make ugly."

Avlon removes my hand from her face and folds her legs on the couch looking down at her hands. She would look up at me somethings while she spoke to make sure i was listening. "Momma would talk about God and say that he was there with us. Watching over us and protecting us. I always held onto that and spoke to the man called God. I would ask him to help me and keep me company. Sometimes i would feel someone down there with me but it would quickly vanish when he would come."

"God was always with you Angle. He protected you and im sure that presence you felt was him. I go to church it's were you learn about God and his son Jesus. Would you liek to go with me sometime?"

"Are there lots of people?"

"Yes Angle but they won't mess with you. They will be happy that you came. People may talk to you and smile at you but they wont harm you. God wouldnt let anyone harm you in his house. They would surley be punished."

"I'll go but not this time. I'm not ready to see alot of people."

"That's fine. You should get use to the men here before you go. Maybe we could go visit them later?" I ask her hoping that she will say yes.

She looks at the television for a second and then looks back at me. We look at each other for a good five minutes before she says "Can we make them sandwiches?"

Smiling largly i nod my head. "They would love that Angle. Do you want to get dressed and then we can make them sandwiches and lemonade."

"What's lemonade?" she asks rising.

I rise with her and put my hand on the lower part of her back. I smile when she doesnt flinch and doesnt remove my hand letting me steer her to the stairs. "Get changed baby girl and ill make some. It's really good."

She goes up the stairs to change and i go to the kitchen nd start cutting the lemon's. I get a big vase putting the slices in and lots of sugar. "Why do you do that?" A soft voice asks and i look around to Avlon.

She's breathtaking in her knee length white sundress and her waits long red hair braided to the side with pieces falling around her face. She doesnt have makeup on but thats okay because she doesnt need any. She's beautiful enough with out any. Her green eyes shine with a lot more life than they did before.

"To pull the juice out." i manage to say after i come back to reality.

"Oh." is all she says as she walks to the fridge pulling out things to make their sandwiches.
