An Angel and an Bee

Chapter 2:Strangers

After the events of last night,both from Angel and Valentino,Bumbles thoughts were all over the place.More so the thoughts about Angel.I mean,the events with Valentino were nothing out of the ordinary.He took her to his room for the night and forced her to have sex with him.It took lots of threatening,hitting,and forcing till Bumble complied.She sighed and sat up,her wings covering her arms and torso.

Bumble looked beside her to see an asleep Valentino,snoring loudly. "How the fuck can he fall asleep so easily after basically raping me?" Bumble mumbled to herself.All over her body were new bruises overlapping with her scars,her body was also a little sore from how hard Valentino was.She grabbed her previously discarded clothes and put them back on.She carefully crept out of Valentinos room and walked back to her room.Once she got to her room,she had to contain herself from taking drugs,drinking,or trashing her room,or worse self harming herself.

She put her hands in her pockets,hoping there'd be cigarettes in her pockets.Which there was,but there was something else too.There was a little paper that had multiple numbers on it,it was Angels number.Bumble stared at the number for a moment and contemplated whether or not to actually call it.Probably not because it was currently 3:47 am but then again he did say to call him.

Before she entered the number into her phone,she lit a cigarette and took a drag of it.She entered angels number into her phone and it started to ring.Nobody picked up at first. "Ugh,I knew it was stupid to call" Bumble thought to herself,she was one click away from hanging up till someone picked up,it was Angel.

"Hello!?" Angel said,obviously happy that she had actually called him.

"Uh,hi?" Bumble said,surprised by how excited he sounded.

"I'm surprised that you actually called me,was it because I'm too hot to resist~?" Angel said in a kinda smug tone.

Bumble rolled her eyes. "Don't fucking flatter yourself,I just called out of curiosity." Bumble said.

"Oh,well i think I'm partially right." Angel said.

"You're not,like I said,don't flatter yourself." Bumble said,taking another drag of her cigarette.

"Yeah yeah,whatevea.So I was thinking maybe if you have a day off,club?" Angel asked. 

"The answer is still no." Bumble said.

"Why?" Angel said.

"Do I need to give you a fucking collage essay on why? Because I can! Additionally,why are you so persistent on me going to a club with you?!"

"Ugh,what about coming to my hotel room?" Angel said,then realized what he said.

"Hotel room?You live in a hotel room,do you need money for a proper place? I probably could steal some from Val." Bumble said.

"Uh no,I mean money would be nice-fuck,what am i saying?" Angel said,slightly panicking for messing up his words.He took a breath. "Uh,so I do live at a hotel but i only live here because it's free" Angel said then continued "The hotel ain't just any regular hotel.It's a...redemption hotel for sinners." Angel said,waiting for her response.

Bumble stayed silent before laughing. "Redemption?Whoever thought of that idea must be really dense and stupid." Bumble said.

"Ehhhh,the person who thought of the idea was Charlie,the princess of hell." Angel said.

"Oh fuck,really?So do you bow to her every time you see her?" Bumble jokingly asked.

"Uh no,we don't. She isn't stuck up like that." Angel said.Then Angel got an idea. "You know,you could stay at the hotel too." Angel said.

"No." Bumble said.

"Cmon! it's free and you get to spend less time with Val,the only catch is that you have to take part in the daily 'bonding exercises' that Charlie makes us do,in hopes that it'll help us get redeemed." Angel said.

"Wait,I'll get to see Valentino less?!" Bumble said,hiding her happiness at the thought of finally getting a break from seeing Valentino every single fucking day.

"Yeah,and you don't need to move any of your stuff.Alastor can just magically make you a custom room." Angel said.

"You have the radio demon at the hotel?" Bumble said.

"Yep,we do.He honestly looks like a strawberry pimp mixed with a creepy cannibal Bambi." Angel said.

"Damn,sounds just like how I've heard of him." Bumble said,taking another drag of her cigarette.

"Yeah,except he acts 2x more creepy." Angel said.

"Well,at least I'll get my own custom room." Bumble said.

"Yeah,that's a good thing.So do you think you'll consider maybe moving in the hotel?" Angel said.

Bumble stayed silent for a couple moments while considering.Getting away from Valentino did sound great,but on the other hand Valentino could be easily enraged by her moving away and gaining more independence than she has ever had. "Fuck it" she thought.

"I'll check it out tomorrow,but I'm not promising anything.Understood?" Bumble said.

"Really!?You'll actually visit?" Angel said,a bit happy and excited that she'd visit.

"Yes,I'll visit.Don't get your hopes up though,I'm not promising anything." Bumble said.

"Yeah yeah,I won't.Don't worry your pretty little face bout it." Angel said.

Bumble was a bit taken a back that Angel had called her pretty. "Don't call me pretty!" Bumble said.She could hear Angel chuckle over the phone.

"Okay sweet cheeks,i gotta go.Bye~" Angel said then hung up the phone.

Bumble sighed and took one final drag of her cigarette and put it out on her ashtray.Had she really just agreed to see some stupid hotel that has the stupid plan to redeem sinners so they could go to heaven?!Guess she had.Without the mention of seeing Valentino less,she wouldn't have agreed.She had put up with Valentinos abuse for two whole years with little to no days off,she needed to just get away from him.Bumble decided to go and shower to clean herself off and possibly get the feeling of Valentinos touch off of her,though she knew it would never come off of her.Once she was done she dried herself off and put on a tank top and shorts for bed.

She got into her bed and wrapped her wings around herself.She thought about the events that had happened within the last 24 hours.Bumble wondered something.What did Angel see in her to give her his number.She shrugged it off. "I'll ask tomorrow if I remember." She thought and drifted off to sleep.
