An Assassins World

Chapter 16

•.•.•ANGEL'S POV•.•.•

I may have dragged out my stay at Jason's a little long. It's 9:45 and everyone else has left but me. Jasons starting to look a little sleepy so I decide its time for me to be going back home and face what I've been trying to avoid all day. Or maybe I can avoid it for a few more days.

"Thanks Jay." I say. We are sitting next to eachother on the his velvet red couch.

"For what?" he asks puzzled.

"For letting me stay here longer than necessary. "

"No problem, who are you trying to avoid?" he says with a questioning look.

How did he know that? Am I getting easy to read?

"Can't it just be the simple fact that I want to hangout with you?" I ask innocently. He doesn't look like he believes me.

"eeem...really?"

"Yeah." I tell him with a light smile."Well, I gotta go now."

"Yep, your cousins probably worried. I heard about what happened at that party." at that I freeze. Oh crap. Someone did notice.

"What did you hear?" I ask.

"Something about your cousin protecting you from some jock."

"oh... right...yeah. Where did you hear that?"

"From the guys. Dave was at the party." He says.

"Oh ok." We both get up and he walks me to my car. I get inside and slide down the window.

"Thanks for helping us. If it weren't for you we would probably still be in our extremely depressing moods and no one wants to be around that." he jokes.

"Any time."

"Bye!" he says waving and backing away from the car.

"See you Monday!" I say waving back. I back out of the drive way and make my way home.

Maybe if I'm really quite I can make it to my room before he notices. I will bet ten bucks he's in the training room. He is always training for some reason. And I've noticed he's not as good as he was before. Something is going on with him... he has changed since the last time I saw him a couple years ago.

Before I know it I'm home. I don't bother listening in on the door to see if he's in there. If he is, chances are he heard the car. I open the door walk through and shut it behind me. I turn back around and start walking I'm almost to the stairs when someone blocks me. I look up and see Rey.

"Hey." he says.

"Hey." I say flatly then try to walk around him but he blocks me. Again.

"Can I talk to you?" he asks.

"Eeerrrm"

"Please?" Wow, he must really want to talk. He never says 'please'.

"Yeah, I guess."

He leads me to the living room where we sit down on the couch. I can feel his gaze on me whilst I stare at the blank TV screen.

"I just wanted to say, I'm sorry..." he says. Wow, an apology and a please on the same day. "For yesterday." he finishes.

"Which part?" I say still looking at the TV.

"All of it." he say. Then he reluctantly says "I'm sorry I.... kissed... you." I tense when he says that but don't say anything.

"I can explain...?" I think he's waiting for my permission to let him explain but I still say nothing so he explains anyway. "I was thinking about the Sophie thing and I was just demonstrating how she suprized me.. errm the spanish was...I- I was explaining it....to you..." he stutters.
