An Angel Named Kiran.

Chapter Four

"Micah, open the door." He spoke softly, gently. 

Go away. I thought to him, because I would not speak again. I know that I broke my vow of silence, but it's not going to happen again. I will not do that again. I can't believe that I did that in the first place. What's wrong with me? I was supposed to be silent. Forever. The next words that I was ever supposed to speak, were the ones that I would say to my dad, after I saw him again. Wherever he might be, and whenever we might be together again. God I'm so stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! 

"Micah calm down, its okay. It'll all be fine." Kiran's voice was muffled, but calm. I couldn't understand why he was being so calm. I broke my vow of silence. To call him cute. Who does that? Obviously only idiots like me. God damnit.

"Hey, stop that. Now. You're not an idiot. And your dad wouldn't want you to have a vow of silence in the first place! He'd want a better life than this for you!" 

I'm going to stop you right there. You don't know him. You don't know what he'd want for me. He wouldn't want me to be sitting here, happy, alone with a boy, while he's dead! That is not what he would want! I screamed at him, and in my anger, I let my walls down. I did want  him to know how angry I was, I wanted him to feel it. He did not know what my father would want for me. My dad hated when I was alone with a boy. My dad wouldn't want me to sit here being happy while he doesn't get to be here with me, with my mom, with Cam. He wouldn't want that. What he would want, is to be here with us. He'd want to be in our apartment, strumming his guitar, or making lasagna in the kitchen, while he's trying to convince my mom to move to Idaho so that we can buy a big house on a ranch.  That's what he'd want. 

"Micah." I looked over my shoulder, and he was right there. I think that I jumped about three feet in the air. I'd have to get used to this apparition crap. "Apparition? What is this, Harry Potter?" 

Do you not get that this isn't a time to be funny? Do you not understand that I am pissed off, beyond belief? That I'm about ready to kick you in the face? Do you not get that? I was seething. I bet there was actual smoke coming out of my ears, I just, I couldn't believe this. Kiran knew nothing about my father. He doesn't have the right to try and tell me how to live my life. Just because he's my "guardian angel". I am my own person, and I'll have a damn vow of silence if I want one. 

"Okay, now you're just being stubborn." I smirked at him. "You may think that I don't know what your dad would want, but you are forgetting that I'm an angel. I am in the highest order of all the angels, I am the cheif's right-hand man. I am also your guardian angel. I've been with you since the day you were born. I've been right here, looking over you, watching you every moment. There were times, when you were playing on the red and yellow firetruck at Cal Anderson park, that you were about to fall off. You were losing your balance, and you were about to fall, but there was an invisible push, that held you upright. Who do you think that was? A ghost? No. It was me! I was there! I've been there, every birthday, every Christmas and Thanksgiving, ever good day, every bad day. I've been there. So no, you do not get to tell me that I don't know what he'd want for you, because I've been there every single day, watching him raise you."  

Kiran:

And then she started to cry. I made a huge speech, about how I know her and I've been with her through everything, and she just started bawling her eyes out. And I have no idea what to do. So, I opened my mind to her. As I did, I felt hers react to me, and I could feel every single one of her emotions, and I didn't know what to make of it all. She was mad, but she was also happy, and very sad, but there was also a sense of longing there too. I couldn't make sense of it all. There was just too much to process. So, I did what most mortals would do. I wrapped my arms around her and held her, as I caressed her hair, and whispered that it would all be okay. Because that was all That I could do.

I had her in my arms, with her head resting on my chest. We were sitting on her bed. You have a heartbeat. I can hear it. She was still crying, but no longer sobbing, though her thoughts weren't quite as sad as they were. 

I have a heartbeat, because I am an angel created of a mortal soul. I am not undead, I'm still here, but temporarily immortal. I told her, hoping that I haden't told her too much.

How can you be temporarily immortal? She is such a curious girl, which is something that I love about her, but also something that is going to get her into trouble. I mean, curiosity did kill the cat. I chuckled. If only she knew just how curious she was. Just how serious that this all is. 

I can't really explain it, at least not now. But I will someday soon. I'll be able to tell you everything someday soon. But for now, you'll just have to hold back that cute curiosity of yours. I could feel her smiling with that last sentence. 

It's cute that I'm curious about things? She asked me sheepishly, and I couldn't help but smile back at her and nod. She shifted so that she was no longer in my arms, and it was shocking just how at a loss I was for her warmth. I didn't want her to be out of my arms, she belonged there. She was sitting up, looking at me, and I couldn't tell what was on her mind.

Kiran? Her thoughts were hesitant, and I didn't know what she was up to.

Yes? I asked her, wanting to know what she needed.

Will you stay still, and close your eyes too? I need to do something. She sounded shaky, and I had no idea why. Did she need to change her shirt or something? Well, whatever she needed, I was happy to oblige. So, I nodded, and shut my eyes, and I waited. I could feel her weight shifting on the bed, but I still couldn't tell what she was doing. She wasn't getting off of the bed.

Suddenly, I felt her hands on the back of my head, and I drew in a sharp breath. She paused, but only for a second. Then, she pressed her lips against mine, and it was a slow kiss, at first. She had told me to stay still, but I could't do that. Instinct took over. I pulled her onto my lap, and my hands were around her waist, trying to get her as close to me as I could. She entangled her fingers into my hair, and everything just felt so right. Her mind licked at mine, as I lightly licked her lips. We were entangled, in a trance. 

And then it ended. Micah let go, untangled herself, and she ran out of the room. Leaving me on her bed, trying to catch my breath, wondering what went wrong.
