-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The best part about dating an angel is the adventures you get to take together. No modern human can say that they've been on top of the pyramids, or that they've flown above the clouds. You've been on these magical and crazy adventures with the love of your life, but you can never tell anyone. Humans know that angels exist, but there is a strict rule against humans and angels dating and falling in love. The only contact angels are allowed to have with humans is when they are looking over their shoulder and protecting them from the evils within this world.

Your angel started off as that until you started to notice her everywhere you go. She stood out from the rest of the crowd, always right behind you, never too far away. Most humans ignore their angel unless something tragic happens, but you've established you're not like most humans. Instead of living your life the way it's supposed to be lived, you thought it was a good idea to confront your angel and talk to her.

Anael was shocked you wanted something to do with her, but she didn't turn you away. The rules stated that if a human isn't in danger or putting themselves in danger, then there is no reason to talk to them or even let them know an angel is watching over them. However, Anael took one look at you and decided you were worth talking to.

If your friends and family knew what you've been doing, they would disown you. If Anael's superiors knew what she did when she left Heaven, then she would for sure get punished for centuries to follow. It's why you two only talk, hang out, and enjoy each other's company in the comfort of your home. The more you spent time with her, the more you fell for her.

It's not like you wanted it to happen, but you can't choose who you fall in love with. It's strange how much an angel understands you more than your own family and friends. For as long as you can remember, there has always been a hole inside your heart that was always too big to fill. Clearly, there was something missing, and you spend years trying to figure out the puzzle piece.

When you met Anael, the piece finally fell into place. You couldn't let her go, and she refused to let you go.

It sucked you couldn't tell your friends about your angel, what you two have been doing, and the fact that you've been growing closer to the point where your relationship takes a turn into Romanceville. You wanted to gush to your friends about your new girlfriend, but they would never understand. Anael wanted so badly to tell her friends about the amazing woman she met and how happy you make her feel, but she could never expose you like that.

So, you're forced to keep your relationship a secret, but you honestly didn't mind. As long as you have Anael by your side, you were okay with anything. Maybe one day you'd get to tell the world about your relationship, but today is not that day.

You and Anael sit on your couch, limbs tangled together, her fingers through your hair, and yours brushing against her wings. You've never seen what they look like since humans aren't able to see them with the naked eye. You've touched them, got touched by them, smelled them, and even heard them, but you yearn to see them. You really want to know if they are as beautiful as they feel.

It's the kind of night that you spend inside. It's raining, the fire is going in the fireplace, and a movie is playing on your flat-screen TV. Your fingers dance against the soft feathers, touching and memorizing the feel of each one you come into contact with. It's the perfect evening that requires no speaking whatsoever. There are no words that need to be said that describe how you feel in this exact moment—it's all in how you handle her wings with care and delicacy.
