Guardian Of The Radio

2

Many years passed and Alastor has grown in to a fine gentleman. All the old ladies in town absolutely adore him and it makes me chuckle every time they wave and tell him how dashing and handsome he is. The younger girls are practically throwing themselves at his feet but Alastor isn't interested in any of them for

It frustrates me so much because I've thrown so many potential soulmates at him and he's turned ALL of them down. The latest one was a girl named Mimzy and I'll admit she's a bit much but at this point I'm getting desperate.

I decide to ask Nora for some advice but she just says "Some souls don't need lovers in their life, it's normal for some souls to not be interested in that kind of love".

I let out a frustrated sigh because that was not the answer I was looking for so I say "That's absolutely maddening because Alastor would be a perfect partner, he's delightful, charming, helpful and just an overall good person. If god didn't want him to love like that then why did he make him so amazing"?

Nora shoots me with a very concerned look and says "Your not falling in love with your soul, right".

I take a deep breath and say "Absolutely not"! It comes out a bit more angrily than intended and after that Nora leaves it alone. I don't love Alastor, I mean I care about him of course, he's still my soul that I am to look after. Although I do catch myself thinking about him sometimes but I try not to dwell on it.

Alastor now has started a career at a local radio station and worked his way up to getting his own radio show. It's ends up being a huge hit. I'm so proud of him for making a name for himself. Despite his past, he's had a pretty good life so far.

One day he has to sing a little jingle for some stock company near by. I listen as he sings out the lines and his voice is as smooth as silk in my ears. I catch my mind wondering and I immediately stop myself. I can't be in love with Alastor I mean he can't even love like that and I'm just his guardian. I can never tell him my feelings. I tell myself that over and over again but even still I catch myself replaying his voice in my head over and over again like broken record that I can't bear to throw out.

A while later I have some lunch with Nora and she says "So I have some pretty cool news for you".

I put my sandwich down and gesture for her to continue.

She says "You've been chosen to sit in on the angelic council meeting next week".

I'm shocked and say "really? Why?"

Nora takes a sip of wine and says "We have to have some non council angels sit in on the big yearly meeting and your name just happened to be picked along with like 5 more".

I think about it for a moment but I say "I'm honored but I thought guardian angels weren't usually chosen for these since we are so busy".

Nora answers "They're usually not but, I told them you'd probably fine with it".

I put my drink down and ask "What about my soul on Earth, who's going to be watching him if I'm stuck in a meeting".

Nora rolls her eyes and says "I think your soul will be fine for a day without you Grace, don't worry about it".

I'm still hesitant about the idea and say "Listen I'm honored that I was chosen but, think it would be better if they just chose someone else".

Nora gives me an annoyed look and says "Grace, Alastor will be fine, and if we have to find someone new then it will make me look bad, please just go".
