There's A Fallen Angel On My Roof...But Why Does He Have Fangs?

Part 12

Waking up to the pale blue light of a winter morning, i looked over at Cam who was still sleeping. i put on a some clothes on and went downstairs to get a coffee. There was no one downstairs and when i looked at the clock on the microwave it said it was 6:00, the whole house had an icy blue tinge to it. I loved winter mainly for this reason, how amazing everything looked. When i got my coffee done i went back to my room and went on the balcony, sat on the garden chair and placed my coffee on the table to cool. it was icy and cold outside but for some reason i wasn't cold, maybe it was because my life was going up in smokes or the fact that im hanging round with angels and demond's and being thick skinned is just what comes with it. I heard someone clear their throat behind me, i didn't have to turn around to know it was Luca. He pulled up a chair next to me and sat down, he didn't say anything, he just sat there for a while, till he finally broke the silence

"I'm sorry" he simply said

"For what?" i asked bleakly

"What's happened, what's going to happen. It just doesn't seem fair" he said looking out into the cold morning

"Life's not fair...thank you"  i said, he half smiled

"what for?" he asked

"Everything" i said quietly, every word he and i spoke created dragons breath. From the corner of my eye i could see him move in his seat, he had taken off his hoodie and draped it round my shoulders, it was so warm, i looked at him "Thanks" i said lamely 

"Enough with the thank you's i know i'm amazing" i slapped his arm playfully and sipped at my coffee. "So...road trip. You excited?" he asked

"Excited to runaway to god knows where leaving all my life behind..." i turned my head to him "Ecstatic"

"C'mon, it wont be that bad, we can buy loads of teeshirts and wear them as- skirts" i laughed "Joking, we can make a quilt, use it to keep warm or sell it for money"

"Wow, you have the whole trip planned out, but what's going to happen to my family? My parents will be back in a few days"

"We'll be gone by then" he said simply

"Where exactly are we going?" he sighed looking out at the pale morning 

"Where Cam tells us to go"

"It's christmas in three weeks...we're going to spend it on the road?"

"Maybe" he said, i looked at him confused

"Wha-"

"How bout we go inside now? it's cold" he said getting up and heading back inside, to be honest it was getting cold, and i had drank all my coffee, i sighed and got up taking my cup with me. Looking over at my bed i saw that Cam wasn't there, i looked over at the bathroom and realised he was in the shower. I headed downstairs where Luca was watching spongebob 

"Aren't you a little old for that?" i asked smiling, he looked at me with an offended expression 

"It's a classic" he said to me as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, i shook my head and turned the kettle on. While waiting for the kettle Luca was standing with his head in the fridge and when he emerged his hands were full of food. 

"You gonna eat all that?" i asked

"Pshh, yah" 

"Really? You know, once on the lips forever on the hips...i see you're gaining some" i patted my stomach, he went to the bread compartment and took out the whole loaf, 

"Wa'hell...aren't we a bit niffy this morning?" he said, i laughed slightly, "Ya'know, imma make you a Lucas' Effercio Pane"

"A what now?" he picked up a knife and waved it as he spoke 

"You know, the things you girls are good at making?" im guessing he meant a sandwich.  

"That's funny.." i said with a sarcastic smile. I went to get another drink, but white tea this time. Whilst making the sandwich Luca began to sing...

#After leaving my apartment, i feel this cold inside me, it howls away all through the market, it calls your name

he looked at me, "What?"

"I didn't know you could sing.."

"There is a lot you don't know about me" he smiled and carried on singing. I had to admit, it was amazing, so soulful...maybe another angel characteristic. The kettle had boiled and when i sat down at the table there was half a sandwich waiting for me

"What's in this?" i asked

"Weeelll, there is nuttela, cheese, crisps, pickles, salami and a little bit of jam" he said taking a bite out of his own sandwich, i stared at it with a grimace. Once you've met an angel and demon and been attacked by one too, you can try a gross sounding sandwich. I picked it up and took a bite then instantly regretted it. Luca looked up at me

"Mmmm!" i said rubbing my stomach

"You don't like it do you?" he asked, i spat it in a tissue,

"No" i said getting up and giving him the plate, "Thanks anyway" i said ruffling his hair. I turned on my heel and headed for the stairs.

I got to my room and see the bathroom door open. I looked around the room for Cam when i felt a pair of arms wrapped round my waist and lips at my neck. i smiled and turned till i was facing him. i took in his dark brown eyes, so brown they were almost all pupil, his lips pink from the steam of the shower and his hair half damp. He couldn't be the turner of evil could he? he was too innocent looking. Then i got a wash of sadness, what must it be like to be him, be in his mind? what must go through your mind when you've lived since the dawn of time it's self and only be known for bad things? i hugged him close to me, and rested my lips on the curve of his neck breathing in the fresh smell of soap. i was sure as hell going to miss him. 

"Hey, guess what" he said stroking my hair and holding me close,

"What?" i whispered

"I found a place for you and luca to stay" already? i've had no time to process any of this, no time to prepare, no time to breath.
