corina walked down the city as uriel looked out his window. he watched the angels walk down as he saw corina. his eyes stopped moving. his eyes set on her like a target for hitman. he flew down to her quickly as everyone looked at uriel. 'its uriel!' some of them whispered. 'he never comes down.' the others said. uriel looked at the angels as he looked at corina. 'let's talk cori.' he said nonchalantly. corina nodded. what could she do? refuse in front of everyone. what would he do to her if she refused,he's more powerful then lucius. corina looked away as she walked by uriel. 'renato's moving up on the rank, soon he will be called out of his military buisness and you'll be left to lead. are you ready cori?' he stopped and looked at her. what choice did she have? she was forced in to this position. 'or you could return to your old position.' he added. corina looked up at him in shock. 'im offering you an out since you were forced into this position,its only mercy.' he said with a slight smile as he looked down at her. corina looked away averting his soft gaze. 'i'll stay.' she said gravely. if she went to her old position,rumors would definitely be made. also she wouldnt have as much protection as she did in the military and she was starting to like talking to uriel. uriels eyes lit up as he grinned. 'perfect.' he said. he walked with corina as they stumbled upon a shop she really liked. her eyes lit up as she saw the french bakery. uriel looked at her confused what that look was for as he looked at her gawking at the cream puffs. 'ah,you like french cuisine?' he asked curiously. corina nodded fast. 'my treat,for you staying of course.' he said embarrassed. he opened the door as corina went in first he went in behind her. the aroma of the bakery bread and french desserts made corina's eyes light up more. 'two of everything, corina?' he asked with a dourly with a hint of curiosity to his voice. corina looked at him shocked. 'ah no! thats too much!' she said in a panic. he smiled warmly. 'dont worry everything is free for seraphims.' he smiled. 'ill have two of everything.' he said with a serious tone. the baker got two of every french cuisine and packed it in a white and pink box. uriel carried it and looked at her with a smirk. 'perks of having a seraphim eh?' he asked teasingly. her face was red from embarrassment. she felt like he was just doing this to be nice. she felt like she was an ego boost to him. 'sorry..you didnt have to do that for me..' she said quietly. he tilted her chin up. 'whats with the somber face cori? this is all for you,gotta keep my best girl taken care of.' he said with a genuine smile. she was reassured from that look that maybe he really did care about her and wasnt just trying to boost his ego. she smiled warmly as they walked to the tower then went up to his office and opened the door. she sat down at his office. 'thank you uriel..it means a lot.' she said softly looking away with slight affection. uriel placed the box down next to her. 'dont worry about it cori.' he said smiling as he opened the box and ate a cream puff. corina was curious about one thing. she knew if she didnt ask now. when would the right talk be? 'so..uriel..um what rank will he be if..he will be fulfilling his duty as the next rank.' she asked quietly with a hint of embarassment. 'ah..that. he will be on the highest ranking seraphim board. a little lower then me.' he said looking away. corina looked at him with a suprised look. she ate a cream puff and looked at him. uriel moved in closer to her as he noticed some cream puff on her mouth. he leaned over the pink box. his face was inches from hers,as he looked down at her in a domineering way. his fingers touched near her lips wiping off the cream from the pastry. 'gotta keep my best girl clean.' he whispered in a low tone almost in a growl. his eyes looked at her maintaining the intensity of the eye contact. he sat down and looked at her with a brash cold smirk. his eyes looked away as corina kept eating. 'im promoting you to general soon,head general. four star.' he said looking away. corina looked up at him in suprise. general..? i thought it would be longer but now? 'there will be a test of course,if you dont pass it. you'll be forced to abandon your current position as general and reinstate to your past position.' uriel said. corina looked at him shocked. 'what will the test be on..?' she asked. uriel sighed with a apprehensive worried look, like he was scared to tell corina something. 'i..cant tell you,it would be against gods law..and if he ever caught me id be thrown out.' uriel looked at her with a look of slight please,like he was begging or hoping she'd understand. uriel's usual smirk returned to his lips. 'but i can offer a solution.' he said witty,closing his eyes and waving his left pointer finger in the air slightly twirling it with slight waving back and forth as his eyes opened with a cocky smile. he leaned forward slamming his hands spread, not loudly on the table in his cocky manner. his grin made his personality more orginal to his persona then anything. 'renato can help,he passed it before im sure he remembers everything and im sure he wouldnt mind telling you.' he said looking her in her golden eyes with his cocky smile. corina looked at him with a grim frown. 'no way.' she said staidly. he leaned back in a aggravated manner, more like annoyed. 'come on he's your only shot.' he said leaning back at her. corina looked at him grimly. 'fine,i guess i have no choice.' she said after uriel got up and was roaming the room slightly next to her but far away with his arrogant smile and he quickly charged at her and patted her head. 'atta girl.' he said teasingly but with a genuine tone as he stroked her hair. he felt something but he couldn't tell what it was. it was a good emotion. one he rarely felt. it was like warmth. he usually used excessive smiles to seem welcoming to every new soul in heaven. all that spuriousity seemed to make his heart rip and fall,until his heart was too cold and damaged to ever feel some kind of genuine delight. but he didnt have to fake it. this was real happiness. and it scared him but it also made him starving for more. he looked at her still with a smile but in a vulnerable way as the corners of his mouth slighly pointed down. he stopped patting her as she looked at him with this submissive gaze. her gorgeous golden eyes, her pink pouty like lips with a dark but light pink that matches her porcelian skin. he looked away as he let his hand slip off her head at he walked away then stopped at the door slightly looking at her only showing part of his face looking at her to the side. 'go get renato cori.' he walked through the door as it closed leaving corina with a grim stare at the box. she grabbed the box and flew down to find renato. she stopped as she landed by renato as he was with isela. 'corina?! where have you been ive been looking everywhere for you!' he said as he ran to her gripping her shoulders with a shocked stare. corina looked at him with slight disgust. 'i'm here and i ned to talk to you.' she said vaguely. isela glared at her as she saw how gorgeous corina was. her silver hair and golden eyes and pale skin with the most beautiful features. she looked like everyones ideal version of a perfect angel even the small wings on the side of her head were a perfect white. isela gripped her dress as she walked towards corina. 'im..' isela was cut off. 'isela,i know about you. and how intense you and renato were getting in your office.' she smirked sinisterly. iselas eyes widened as renato looked at her shocked. 'c-corina its not what you-' renato said fast almost like a reflex he tried to touch her shoulder as his arm reached forward. corina glared at him as she stepped back. uriel stepped back in his office with a drink as he looked out his window with a grim face then his gaze turned shocked as he saw Corina and renato and isela in one area. 'well..this should be interesting.' he said sipping his drink. 'Renato i need to ask you something important, but it has to be just the two of us.' she said blankly. iselas jealousy grew as she glared at Corina. Renato looked at her with a guilty face. isela grabbed renatos hand as he walked off with corina stopping him as corina turned around with her blank glare. 'please..just stay.' isela begged. renato looked at her with his usual cold glare. he moved his hand forcefully that her hand was ripped off him. 'its your fault shes mad at me,you ripped my shirt off its basically sexual assault.' he said with a raged look. 'stay the fuck away from me isela.' he said sharply as it felt like a dagger just hit her heart. of course he liked corina better. she was beautiful and had beautiful features and was the depiction of innocent and divine. she could never match up to that. her nose wasnt round,it was long. her lips were smaller. her eyes were siren like. and her voice was deeper and her body had less curves. isela watched corina and renato walk away as she stood there with a feeling of her heart being broken and shattered. renato walked with corina. 'she forced my shirt off corina i didnt..' corina stopped as they were in a place where no one was, not even uriel could see. corina started crying as she dropped the box. 'corina..?' renato asked weakly. corina looked at him as her cheeks were red and her nose was slightly red. tears falling from her eyes like liquid glass. her lips slightly moved as renato looked at her. 'corina..why are you crying?' he asked softly. 'i-im so tired,now i have to take a test to take your place and im scared i cant be like you. im just a girl..' she said covering her face. renato pulled her close to his chest. 'you dont need me.' he said with a slight smile. 'remember when you ran off. you were fine on your own and you will be fine when you lead your troops into victory corina.' he said with a smile and a genuine tone. corinas tears fell from her eyes as she looked up at him trying to muster up the words to get something out. to get anything out. but she was just a quivering mess. he gently pushed her head down to his chest leaving a suprised look on her face as her head was buried in his chest. he lifted her head up with his hand as her eyes looked like they were melting into his affection. as tears trickled down her cheeks he wiped them and tilted his head slightly to the side eyeing her lips. corina looked up at him with that look of greed. greed for him. their faces moved closer to eachother until they were inches away and their lips were about to touch. an alert rang on corinas phone as she jumped in suprise and looked at her phone. it was from uriel. it read 'goodluck on fishing that info out of him.' corina looked up at him and remembered how different they were. he was a to-be high seraphim. he deserved someone like isela or someone that was at least another seraphim. she looked up at renato with a slight smile. 'how did you pass the final test to be general.' she demanded. he raised his eyebrow in confusion. a woman opened uriels door as he looked at the dust. it was his secretary.
