The bittersweet victory

Chapter seventeen: Get out

Angel was cleaning up the bar after an unexpected rush when he noticed someone by the door "Valentino" He muttered, grabbing his phone to text Husker. He noticed Val looking around for a bit before spotting him "Shit" He put his phone back under the bar, and went back to cleaning, pretending too not to see him. "Angel" Val said "What do you want?" Angel turned to look at Val "I want to bring you home, it's not the same without you" Val was pretending to be nice but Angel saw right through him "I'm not going anywhere with you" Angel continued cleaning a bottle, or at least he pretended to continue "Come on baby, you know you want too" Val refused to give up "You aren't allowed to be here" Angel told him, "Well Husker isn't here to get rid of me is he?" Val said "Get out" Angel reached for the gun he kept under the bar "Is that really a way to speak to me?" Val was getting impatient "I said get out" Angel kept his lower arms hidden under the bar as he loaded some angelic bullets into the gun. "You're coming with me slut" Val finally dropped the act "Oh there's the Val I know" Angel rolled his eyes "I'm done playing games," Val said "Me too" Angel finished loading in the bullets, raising to the gun at Val "Get out." He rested his finger on the trigger "I've had enough of your games" Val grabbed Angel's arm "We are going" He knocked the gun from Angel's hand "Get off" Angel half yelled, his lower eyes opening as his fur stood on end "Shut up" Val tried to drag him out, "Ow!" Val let go of Angel's arm as a card cut into his wrist, the edges glowing a soft white "What the fuck!" Val pulled the card out, seeing the edges "Get out" Husker hissed "Pathetic, you need this cat to stick up for you" Val whispered to Angel before leaving, "That was too easy" Husker said, walking over to Angel "He's avoiding causing a scene, Vox won't want him to damage the Vee's reputation" Angel explained, "Did he hurt you?" Husker asked "No I'm fine" Angel replied.
