Angel

As I was getting ready for our trip. Papa was waiting for me downstairs, I had just freshened up. And I was waiting for Michael's phone call, I finished brushing my hair and then my phone had rung.

"Hello?" I said as I finished up.

"H-hi An-ngel." Michael said. I smiled and continued putting on my shoes.

"Hey Michael. How are you?" I said. I grabbed my purse and walking downstairs.

"U-um. I-I w-was-sn't s-sure I-if I s-sho-uld-d h-haave kn-oc-c-ked." He said.

I was on the way down the stairs, "Yes of course.. I'll let you in. You could have knocked." I said as I opened the door. He was smiling and he had some flowers.

"I-I pi-ck-ed t-th-ese u-up f-f-or y-yo-u." He said as he handed me the flowers and I smelled them.

"These are lovely. Thanks Michael! Come on in, we are leaving in a few. It's going to just be us, my neighbor's daughter is sick today. " I said.

He comes in with that same smile. Papa looks over and smiles. "Hey Miguel." He said and he waved.

"Papa, Michael." I said as I got tickled. Michael walked in and smiled giving him a hand shake.

"I-it's o-ok I-I b-been c-called-d w-worst." He said as he winked at me and sat down. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the cooler with the small water's and snacks for the trip and I smiled brightly. "This is going to be great!" I said to myself.

One Hour Later..

We were on the way to the aquarium.  My papa insisted on Michael sitting up from. He thinks he slick and he was very smart. He's took a liking to Michael and so have I.

"So Michael you have any family in these parts?" He asked.

Michael turned to look at him, "N-no s-sir." He said and he smiled. I looked at the reaction of my papa and his smile never left. "Your a good guy and I'm the head hitter. Aye, my grandbaby right there she's a good person. She took care of everyone and now she takes care of me." He said.

Michael looks at me and I took a glance at him. He smiled. I smiled back genuinely looked back at the road.

"S-so d-do... u-um." He started. I slowed down a little and we stopped in a little traffic back up.

"Michael...take it slow." I said. He took a deep breath and then started over.

"D-do y-y-ou g-guy-s t-take t-trips-s...o-oft-ten?" He asked.

"Sometimes. It depends on that day or what my papa wants to do.. he decides the trips and i am honestly enjoying taking him places.. Have you ever been fishing before?" I asked him as the traffic was steady going.

"Y-yes, I-I l-lov-e t-that-t. " he said smiling. I looked at him again and he looked out the window.

I sighed in relief at how amazing this was going to be. I can't imagine what he goes through just from not being able to speak normally. And he was cute when he tried to talk.

Michael

An ounce of me wanted to go home. I didn't want to get embarrassed at the fact I will be out in public with a beautiful woman and her grandfather. He was cool and he felt like another dad to me.. even though I couldn't stand my own. By me not being able to have support besides from my mother Katherine and my sister Janet, I couldn't wait to be myself more.

Once we get to the aquarium, finally escaping traffic. Angel parked the car and we all got out. I stayed beside her for comfort and I slipped my hands into her free one. She looked at me with those sweet brown eyes as she accepted that I was scared.
