Chasing Isis

Chapter 3: Suriel

When CC and I left the room to go to the car, CC broke the silence, "I can't believe you're an an-"

"Shhhhhh!!!!!" I slapped my hand over his mouth, "No one can know! I could be banished forever. They can make me mortal, take away my wings, everything! All just for letting Andy know. No one else can know. Please, CC."

He hugged me, "Sorry! I didn't think."

"It's okay," I smiled, "Now let's go! I wanna do my homework 'cuz then you, Brooklyn, Dante and I can have our dinner date!"

CC chuckled as we walked to the car, "I wouldn't use the word 'date' in this case..."

I gently shoved him, "'Date' can be used in a non-romantic way." I stuck my tongue out and CC put an arm around my waist. "Okay, fine then. Let's get you home," he opened the passenger side door for me, "M'lady."

I got in, "You're so strange, CC."

He laughed, "I know." CC shut the door and got in, "Now, off to Homework Land!!" He sped off to my apartment.

When we got there, I started with my Arabic homework. It was hard with CC distracting me! But I got through it. CC was just crazy! Constantly running around and screaming/singing Bon Jovi, it was hilarious! That's part of why I loved him - not the way I loved Andy, though.

After a few hours, I finished my homework. When CC noticed, he picked me up and ran out the door, "Let's go, Isis!!!!!"

I giggled, "CC, put me down!!"

"Never!!" He laughed, "You're mine now! Off we go to Japanese Steakhouse!"

"Yes! Food! Let me get my wallet."

"Nope, I'm paying for you," CC nuzzled my nose with his, "I'll be a gentleman for once."

"CC, you're always a gentleman. At least to me."

"Good. I'm glad..." CC looked at me for a second, "Isis..."

"Hmm?" I smiled. That's when it happened. He kissed me. I was thrown way off guard, "CC!!! What the hell!?!? I'm with Andy and you know that! You saw that!"

CC set me down, "I know. I'm sorry. I just... I just had to know what it was like... To kiss an angel..."

I sighed, "CC... Don't do it again, and don't mention it to Andy. Got it?" He nodded. "So everything's normal still, right?"

"Of course," CC hugged me, "It honestly was only that I wondered what it was like to kiss an angel. It's nothing about liking you, Isis."

"I believe you. I think you'd be smarter about it all if you did like me. Now let's go to Japanese Steakhouse!" I got in CC's car and when CC got in, we started blasting some Emery. We started with "The Curse Of Perfect Days" then moved onto "Scissors".

By the time we got to Japanese Steakhouse, Brooklyn and Dante were already at a table waiting for us. "Brookie!!" I ran into her open arms as she exclaimed, "Isie!! How are you?"

"I'm... Okay. For the most part. I mean, Andny's in the hospital again..."

"What?! Why?! How?!"

"We were sitting on the roof and he slipped... He's fine, though. He gets out in 3 days."

"Jesus, we'll have to visit him soon."

Dante just shook his head, "No more roof-climbing for that guy. He'll die soon if he keeps it up."

"No! He can't die!"

CC laughed, "You just talked about jeopardizing her lover's health. I suggest you don't do it again..."
