Broken Glass (Joshua x reader)

Chapter 5

"But, you can't actually expect me to give up the job I have now to work... to work for him!" I complained, slamming my hands on the table in front of me. The Archangels (High Angels), looked at me from the opposite side of the table. The room we were in was like an office with a really long table that belonged in a meeting room.

"Do not raise your voice. It has been decided. Shall you continue to further wish for a new position, you may write a report and those of us will see if you're worthy enough to go back to your original position. If you do not see yourself fit to your new position then we will choose a new one," one of them said. There were three Archangels, all with slick white hair, and a formal, white outfit. Four of the chairs beside them were empty, meaning the other four Archangels were absent, gone. However, I knew better than to push my luck with them. Biting my tongue, I nodded.

"Yes. I'll do so. Thank you for that wonderful information," I said, holding back the temptation to roll my eyes.

"Then we'll wait for it. You may leave now. Just remember that he personally picked you to work with him, so it would be hard to override his decision. You are to remain in the Higher Plane until your position is picked or something else has come up," another Archangel said. I nodded and left the room, taking the elevator down to the main lobby. I kept my wings close to my body in the packed elevator, quickly making my way out of it, to the exit of the building. I pulled out my phone, ready to make a call to Joshua, when I bit my lip, remembering yesterday's events.

I had no time to react, when his soft lips met mine.

I blushed a deep red from it, but as quickly as it happened, he pulled away. It was nothing more than a peck on the lips, leaving me slightly disappointed. My mouth was open ever so slightly. Unable to speak, I sat there numbly, not able to find the voice to talk, say something to him. Joshua smirked and stood up from the ledge.

"Satisfied, dear~ Don't forget to call me tomorrow." Joshua turned on his heel, disappearing from the roof of 104. I placed a finger to my lips, missing the warmth of his lips on mine.

What was that about?

Why did he kiss me?

Was he trying to get a reaction out of me?

Was he being sincere or was this all a joke to him? Is he thinking that that would satisfy me to shut up about that? Whatever the reason was, I clearly wasn't ever going to find out the answer. Joshua would never give away any kind of information like that anyway.

I stared at the spot where he once was. Part of me was wishing that he was still here, while another part of me is glad that he was gone.

"What the hell just happened?"

I wouldn't even consider that a real kiss, not that anyone's ever kissed me before. Lightly tapping the buttons on my phone, I came across Joshua's contact. Selecting his number, I held the phone up to my ear, hearing the familiar ringing before a familiar voice could be heard.

"Hello~" Joshua's voice could be heard, though it was a bit sketchy since I was calling from the Higher Plane. I had to use a special connection to call him anyway. My heart skipped a beat just hearing his voice.

"Hey, I just got done with the meeting. After I gave them my report, they informed me that I'm no longer going to be an Onlooker, but instead, will be working underneath Nikolai," I said, loathing that name already. "One more thing is that they said I can't go to the RG or UG anymore. I have to stay up here. Mr. Hanekoma could probably get you information if you're desperate." Joshua was silent for a minute before responding with a simple humming sound.
