From Two Different Worlds

Finally! Back Home!

Sept 31st

Angie POV:

I was super excited to see the guys again especially Mike it's been a few months since they started their tour and to be honest I really need a friend right now so much has happened the past few months that I haven't told Mike yet. I was waiting for them at LAX to greet them once they landed I had a huge sign all ready to go once they got here, I looked at my phone to see what time it was and sure enough, the boys will be getting the plane less in 20 minutes. After an hour wait, I see Joe and Brad first coming down the escalators, I hold up my big sign saying WELCOME HOME!

The guys especially Mike walked towards me. Ran up to him dropping my sign in the process wrapped my arms around his neck. I can feel his grasp around my waist and be pulling me up to a bear hug. "I missed you so much, Mike!!!" I can feel Mike placing me down on the ground, I look up so I can see his face "I have missed you too Angie how everything while we were away?" I looked down to the ground with a frown forming on my face "Not good Mike not good at all."

Mike POV:

I can hear the sadness in her voice when she said that, did something happen while we were on tour? Did she lose her new job? So many things were going through my head trying to figure out what is making Angie so upset. "My grandfather has been in and out of the hospital these past few months and now I just found out that he will be moving into a senior home so they can keep an eye on him." My heart breaks hearing about her grandfather I only met him once and that was for his birthday. I knew Angie and her grandfather is very close I pulled her back into a hug and gave her a tight hug letting her know I am here for her.

I let her go and as soon as I did I see Chester place his arm on Angie's shoulder "Shall we get going I don't know about you guys but I am beat and I need sleep now!" We all start laughing when he said that; I picked up my luggage, grab Angie's hand, and start heading to the exit out the airport. As we all get out of the airport I see there a car waiting for us before I start heading to the car I feel a squeeze; I looked down and it was Angie "Mike I was wondering if I can stay with you for a while I really don't want to be alone right now." I can see she really worried about her grandfather; I let go of her hand and wrapped my arm around her shoulder "Of course you can you don't need to ask, come on let's go home." I can see a smile formed on her face which was making me happy to see.

As we get into the car I can tell there was tension in the air I looked over to Angie and I noticed how worry she really is for her grandfather, I place my hand on top of her "Don't worry Angie he is in good hands and I know he will be back on his feet again. How actually happened while I was away?" Angie goes into explaining that her grandfather was having chest pain past few weeks and has been in and out of the hospital because of it. "They really don't know what is wrong with his heart but, the doctor thinks there not a lot of blood flowing to the heart that is why he is in the senior home so they can take care of him." We finally reach my house I get out first and helped Angie out of the car, as we enter the house I can tell someone been cleaning it 'That is odd? I know I didn't hire a maid while I was gone. Who has been cleaning my place?' My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of suitcases I turn to see that Angie brought in my suitcase "You didn't have to do that Angie." I tell her as I walked up to her taking the suitcase from her hands. "I do not mind at all Mike and besides it is least I can do for you, Mike." Hearing her say those words my heart skipped a beat.

Angie POV:

I placed the suitcases near the couch, I asked Mike if he would like me to make him some lunch "Sure but I don't know if the food is still good Angie." I turned around to face him "Sure it is I just stock it up this weekend." I can hear Mike's feet stop walking I turned around to face him "Angie you been keeping my place clean while I was away?" I nod my head I told him that my new boss needed someone stop by his house to keep things up so when he got home the house will be clean and ready to go I volunteered to do so "Don't worry I didn't touch your laundry I just restock your fridge, and clean place up I did not know your place got so dusty so easily." Next thing I knew I see Mike walking towards me and giving me a hug "Thank you, Angie, that was very sweet of you to do." I start to blush when he said that I pulled back and waved my hands in the air "Oh no! No! I didn't mind at all you don't have to thank me." I look up and I start to blush, even more, Mike's face was filled with not only thankful but also with kindness. I turn my head quickly so Mike doesn't see me blushing. I go to the kitchen and head to the fridge, I looked inside "Would you like a sandwich or I can make some pasta?" I turn around asking Mike what he wants I can see him seated at the kitchen counter "Hmmm? Pasta actually sounds good right about now." I start preparing the meal for us, I start to hum a little tune my mom used to sing while she cooked.

Mike POV:

As I sat there watching Angie make some lunch I couldn't help but admire her. I have been gone for few months and it feels like I was never gone I was here this whole time. I hear Angie humming a tune "That is an interesting time you are humming." I said while watching her cook the pasta, she turns to me and starts walking towards the island table. "My mom used to hum it when she cooked, It's an old Italian song." I continue listening to her humming the song, suddenly the song stopped I open my eyes to see a bowl of pasta in front of me. "Tada! Pasta with sausage with marinara sauce enjoy!" I start to smile it has been a while since someone cooked for me. I waited until Angie pulled up a seat next to me, I take a bite out of than food and it was amazing! "Angie this is delicious!" I hear Angie giggling "Oh come now it isn't that great!" I shooked my head "I mean it this is best pasta dish I ever had!" I can see Angie blushing corner of my eye which made me smile. I finally finish my bowl and asked her for another round which was gladly got up to get me another bowl. As we continue eating our meal we start talking about other things that didn't involve the band, her grandfather, or family. As I sat there eating my pasta I couldn't help but feel like I am on cloud nine right now.
