Angel

19.

I dashed up the steps and shoved open the front door.

"VAL!" I yelled as I entered the lounge.
The guys and the girls were sitting on the couches.

"DAMON What happened? Did you tell her? "What exactly did she say?" Valentino hopped from the couch and grabbed a towel from a pile of laundry.

"Oh, you guys! It was just right! It was incredible! It was. It was really stunning! I can't tell you how long I'd been hoping for something like this to happen." By the end, my voice was hardly audible.

"Oh, Damon! You've  has finally found his princess!" Eleanor exclaimed as she stepped from the couch and hugged me.

"Well, I guess I have!" I muttered.

•••••••

I decided to call her later that night. I felt it was now time to reveal my true identity to her. I felt like I wasn't being honest with her. As if I were lying to her in order to get to know her.

So I dialled that all-too-familiar number.

"Hello! Angel?" Nyx's joyful words resonated in my ears.

"How are you doing, babe? "Did you make it home safely?" I inquired.

"Oh Angel, you have no idea how I am feeling right now!" I could hear a tinge of grief in her voice, but it was overpowered by excitement. Of course, I was aware of what had occurred.

Angel, on the other hand, did not.

"What happened?" I said, trying to seem as thrilled as she was. Then she started. From the park to the kiss, her running away our call, him, well, me, following her, my confession, and eventually, our second kiss.

It was hilarious to hear her talk about me with such enthusiasm and passion to someone. However, the more she spoke, the more I felt like I was betraying her by not telling her who I was.

"And you know what else? I didn't think I could ever have anyone else after...after Isaiah. But I was mistaken. You were correct. I'm not so sure about anything.."

"It's not that kind of love. It's just that you have to trust someone from time to time. And be confident that they will not break it."I stated gently. "So, what comes next?" I asked, wondering what was going to happen next. I knew it wouldn't be long until the media learned about her.

"I honestly don't know. For the time being, I'll simply have to wait and see what happens. And simply see my way through. You know what he said to me? He stated that he does not know how, but he will figure it out. Work it out with us. I truly want him as well. I truly believe it. I'm not sure what it is about him that makes me feel this way. He evokes emotions in me. He said that he believes he loves me." She said.

And it was then that I recognised she had faith in me. She had faith in my ability to solve this problem. That I would go to any length to keep us together. And I had a feeling I would. I was determined not to let her down. I couldn't do it.

"He'll do it. He will, Nyx."

With that, we bid our goodnights and I hung up the phone. I fought the impulse to call her again and introduce myself as Angel. Every time she told me something about that boy, about myself, it seemed like I was betraying her.
I was deceiving her. I didn't want my lies to get in the way of what she felt. How could I do this if the first step in our relationship was based on a lie? It wasn't my fault, I knew. I had a feeling it wasn't. But I couldn't stop thinking that I possessed the key to her unconsciousness.

She knew nothing about Angel, yet she told him everything. I had the impression. I thought it was my duty, my responsibility, to inform her of this.

I simply didn't know how.
