Dangerous Bliss

Clarity

I sat down on my bed to wait for the boys to get done cleaning when there was a knock on my door. "Come in." I sat looking to see who it was. Raphael came walking through the door. "Where's Daniel?" I asked curiously as he walked over to me. "He's finishing the dishes. I wanted to come and apologize for the odd way I was acting this morning. I haven't been around people in a while so this is very new to me." Whoa is he apologizing? So it isn't that he's antisocial it's just that he hasn't had the chance to be social. "Don't worry about it, it's fine." I smile at him and that made him relax a little. "Thank you. So are you going to have the same schedule tomorrow?" he stood next to me as if he was waiting for my permission to sit down. I patted the bed next to me and he slowly sat down. "Yeah do you want to come with me tomorrow?" he seemed surprised by the question. "I'd love to." He said with a small smile on his face. Daniel walked into my room and sat down on the other side of me. "So where are you guys going to go now?" I asked since I would be heading to bed soon. Daniel was the one to speak, "I will head back to my place but Raphael doesn't have his own place here on earth yet." He doesn't have a place to stay? You would think that they would've set him up with a place before sending him here. "He could stay here in the spare bedroom." He looked at me both a little confused and a little happy about the idea. "Sure if you don't mind." After that was dealt with Daniel said his goodbyes and left. I showed Raphael the guest room he would now be staying in and helped him get situated. Now all I have to do is figure out how to tell Angie that we had a new guest. Angie came home not long after Raphael finished getting his new room setup. "I'm home." I heard her yell from the living room as she closed the door behind her. I walked out into the living room knowing I was going to have to explain everything. I had been rehearsing the story I was going to tell her for the last half hour. "There's pasta on the counter. And I need to talk to you about something." I said as I entered the kitchen with Raphael behind him. She had her back to us as she was heating up the pasta Raphael and Daniel had made. Once her food was she turned around and saw the strange and cute boy standing behind me. "Hey Kat who's this?" she asked staring at him. "This is our new roommate; he's a friend of mine. His name is Raphael and I'm letting him use our spare room till he can get a place of his own. Is that alright?" I waited for her to respond. "Umm sure why not." She finally pulled her eyes away from Raphael and sat down on the table to eat. I walked back to my room and he followed me. I laid down on my bed and looked up at him, "I'm going to head to bed. I'll see you in the morning." He nodded "Alright goodnight." He said as he turned to walk away. "Goodnight sleep good." I turn off the lights and curl up in my bed, I soon after fall asleep. Pure white snow surrounding a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere. Again my body feels warm even though I can feel the wind nipping at my skin. I look up to the same blond haired boy wearing all white with glorious wings stretched out behind him. Now that I had a closer look at the boy standing in front of me I recognized him, it was Raphael. I looked around me confused when I noticed someone standing behind me. I turned around to face the black cloaked figure only to realize that it was Daniel. In the blink of an eye Raphael was standing right next to Daniel. They both extended their hands out towards me like they were asking me to choose and go with one of them. I shook my head and opened my mouth but when I went to speak there were no words. I wanted to tell them that I wasn't ready to choose but I couldn't. They stood there looking at me with confused and anxious eyes as to who I would decide on but I couldn't. I wouldn't. I barely knew the both of them and I wasn't going to hurt either of them. Why am I feeling this way? I feel to my knees on the cold, powdery snow as I felt my cheeks becoming damp. I was crying but I didn't know why. It was like a deep sadness had filled my heart while looking at their beautiful faces.
