Time Travel

Chapter 36

"Thanks." I mumble, turning around to face him.

"You're welcome." Angus replied, smiling at me.

"So why did you want to meet me out here?" I ask him.

"To explain everything." He answered.

"Explain away then."

"So, when you left, and I realized you weren't coming back I didn't know what to do. I really missed you, you know. Malcolm made it his mission to distract me, and well you've been around Malcolm enough to know what he thought was a good distraction, and if you had just been some girl it would've worked, but I couldn't do it. A few years ago, I met Amy and at first I did really like her, but when I got to know her more the attraction disappeared."

"Why are you marrying her then?" I interrupted.

"I just wanted things to go back to normal. I knew it'd make Malcolm upset if I ditched her so this is what happened." Angus finished.

"Malcolm's your brother. I'm sure if you had talked to him he would've understood and accepted why you wanted to end things." I said, still not understanding why he thought he had to do this.

"It's too late now. Malcolm does understand, but by the time I explained everything I couldn't back out." Angus said.

"You can still back out Angus. The wedding hasn't happened yet, so just call it off if you're not happy." I said.

"I am, that's where I was getting at." Angus replied.

"Oh well good, so this is what you dragged me out for?" I question him, feeling slightly irritated.

"No, do you not recall what I told you earlier today?" Angus asked.

I shook my head. "I told you that I'd like to start where we left off. If that's alright with you, I realize that you might already have someone else in mind, and I'd be okay with that." Angus continued to ramble on, looking more and more agitated.

"Angus! I want to be with you." I almost yell, in my attempt to calm him down.

He stopped and his expression turned to one of surprise. "Really?"

"Yes really." I laughed out.

"We should really get out of this weather." Angus suggested, shivering.

I took off his jacket and gave it to him. He tried to wave off my offer.

"Angus, if a fan gets a picture of me wearing your jacket, and you shivering I will punched." I told him, throwing the jacket over his shoulders.

"How would they even know it's even my jacket?" Angus asked, putting on the jacket.

"Angus you should know by now that the fans just know things." I reply, walking down sidewalk.

"I guess, but why would they try to hurt you?" Angus questioned.

"Your fans care about you Angus, if anybody tries to hurt, there will an Angus army coming for them." I said.

"That still doesn't answer my first question though. Why would they try to hurt you?" Angus asked.

"Seriously? Angus come on think about it!"

Angus stared at me, clearly not thinking about the crazy fan girls.

"Okay, well some girls are really crazy and want you Angus, so if another girl gets in the way they will attack." I explained.

"How do you know this?" Angus asked.

"I've been around those people Angus, it might've helped that I'm a fan too you know." I replied, waiting for him to freak out.

"Well, you're clearly not one of the crazy ones. I would've never known you were a fan if you hadn't just told me." Angus said.

"Yeah well I never wanted to be the fan that freaked out the band." I said with a laugh.

Silence fell on us, until we approached the hotel. I stopped when we reached the door, thinking that I would have to go home. "You can stay with me tonight, if you want to of course. I really don't feel like saying goodbye to you." Angus finally spoke.

"Yeah, I want to stay." I replied with a grin.

We walked into the lobby, and Angus led me to his room which was on the 3rd floor. Angus unlocked the door and let me walk in, and followed me in shutting the door behind him. "Where's your fiancé?" I asked.

"She's at a different hotel." Angus replied, walking towards the small kitchen in the room. "Do you want any tea?"

"Sure."

I walked over to the couch and curled up onto it, and started wondering if I should call Gaylord or Ivy and tell them where I was. Angus sat down next to me, putting the two cups onto the coffee table. I grabbed a cup and sipped the tea, welcoming the warmth and comfort it brought.

. We finished our tea and I took out my phone from my pocket, typing out a text to Gaylord and Ivy saying I was fine and I'd see them tomorrow. Angus turned on the T.V. and pulled me onto his lap, and pulled a blanket around us.

"Angus?"

"Yeah"

"Why did you care so much when I left?" I asked.

"Crazy as it sounds, those short weeks I spent with you caused me to really care for you. I was going to tell you I loved you the day you disappeared on me." Angus replied.

"How do you do you feel about me now?" I questioned, turning around on his lap so I faced him.

"I still love you." Angus whispered, pulling me closer to him.

"Good, cause I love you." I replied, closing the distance between us, kissing him softly.

"Ew, gross." Bon yelled from the front door.
