The Reason Why We Look Up To The Sky

Clouds and sillhouettes

"So what are the plans for today?" Lilia pats his shoulder and crosses her arms. "Do yoh even know anything about angels? They stay with their person day and night, if we leave, there will be consequences." She sighs and stroked her wings. "You know this is really bad right? This shouldn't be happening, you're not supposed to hear me. But I can't seal my mouth forever until the day you die.." "Well, aren't you just a little ray of sunshine. You mean to tell me I'll be able to hear you until I die. Do you leave me alone when I'm in the bathroom?" David leaned down as he pulled the juice and cream from his fridge, as well as one egg to boil. "I mean if you tell me to, sure." Lilia smiled weakly. "God, It has been just the second day and I messed up already. Well, what do you expect from a girl who only studied for 50 years.." "50 years? I'd never make it. I'm sorry for making you mess up." David poured the small amount of cream in with the leftovers of the tuna for MacGyver and brought it to the window sill. "No it's not your fault. But can you promise me something? Keep your mouth shut okay?"

"Fine," he said softly before tracing the frost in the glass and frowning. He sighed and went to his table as he waited for the water on the stove to boil and place his egg into. "I'm going to stretch, like I said before." Lilia walks up to the window and pushes it open. "I will be back in just a moment." She sighs before spreading her wings and flying up, out to the grey cold sky. "This is either the greatest day of my life or the saddest," he said to himself. The water began to bubble and he was drawn from his thoughts to make himself a quick breakfast before dressing and leaving. Lilia soared above the city, enjoying the winter wonderland before looking down. "Okay, that is enough for now." She flew back to David's appartement to land on the window ledge. "I'm back! David? Where are you?" She closes the window and looks around the livingroom. David stepped out of his bedroom dressed in dark black pants and a warm wool sweater with a button up underneath. "I'm just getting dressed. I have to make a few deliveries." "oh I thought you left. What kind of deliveries?" She brushed her hair back and smiled at him. "No, not yet but I have to deliver furniture today. It's boring but the company pays well. It's only one of my jobs."

"David, i know what you've been through. I know who you were, who you wanted to be, when you lived your dream and when you woke up. I know what your passions are and what your dreams used to be." She hesitates and felt a knot in her stomach. "T..They were colourful and great, goals you wanted to achieve, now all I see is a grey cold cloud of sadness, loneliness, that is the cloud you trapped yourself in. It takes a lot of strenght to get out of there." Lilia takes a couple steps closer to him. "I see such a sad love deep in your eyes and heart and that is why i'am here, trying to give you the sun through the grey skies outside and in your heart." She forms her hand around his cheek, barely touching his skin as her hand trembles. "I want you to pick yourself together and be happy again." She inhales before pecking his lips, making her white sillhouette appear in front of him.

David stands back as he holds onto his chest. "I'm fine. I'm getting by and....and I'm only doing my best." He walks around her as his eyes widen. "What's wrong? I think you have to sit down." She holds onto his lower arms and guides him to the chairs. "You're here. You're an angel and you're giving me advice on life. It's all a bit much to handle." "Yes, I am. Please just sit." Lilia smiled nervously and pushes him down. Her wings ache, making her slightly bend her knees "What are you looking at?" "I'm looking at you! Or rather the outline of you. Did you kiss me?" He looks up to her before sitting back in his chair. "I..I did, I'm sorry." She whispers before kneeling down. "Don't be sorry. I just didn't know you could do that. Will I get to see you for long?" He tilts his head as he looks around. "Or is it a temporary thing?" "I don't know..uhm, just stay here. They are calling for me!" Lilia crosses her arms over her chest and looks up at him. Feeling her heart sink and cheeks burn red, was she falling for him for real? As she parts her lips to talk, the man from above aperates her back up to cloud 9
