Angel - (Michael Langdon X Reader)

Chapter 11 - Picnic

I wake up in my new room, grabbing my brush next to the rose that Michael tucked behind my ear yesterday. I quickly get ready throwing on a white skater dress and placing white buttercups in my hair, which I leave down. After, I run down the stairs to eat the breakfast that was prepared for us. I still only knew Mallory so I took a seat next to her. All of the other girls seem lovely, but I was far too shy to introduce myself to them. I eat a little, but I'm busy talking to Mallory for a little while, then leave the building where Michael was waiting for me.

"There she is!" He smiles, standing and walking over. I greet him back and give him a hug. "You look nice," he says to me.

"So do you."

"Thank you!"

"So where are we going today?" I ask him as we begin to walk.

"I know this little hill," he then gestures to a little basket, "I thought we could have a picnic?" I think back to when I forgot to eat most of my breakfast. I nod excitedly. "So you're new around here?"

"Yeah. Miss Cordelia just took me in."

"Where were you living before?"

"An orphanage, I was about to move out though. I'm nearly 18."

"Im almost 18 too. Where were your parents, if you don't mind me asking?"

"My dad is dead, my mom abandoned me," I tell him. He shakes his head softly.

"I'm sorry. I understand though. My dad abandoned me and my mom tried to kill me." We sit down under a tree on a blanket. He hands me an apple and a peanut butter sandwich.

"I'm so sorry. Where are you living now?" At this, he smiles. He finishes his bite of his sandwich, then sets it down on the paper plate in front of him.

"A lovely lady took me in. She has been abnormally kind, which means the world to me."

"Maybe more people would be nicer if you stopped watching girls over fences," I tease. He throws a grape at me.

"Shut up!" he laughs. "I don't normally do that, okay?" I can tell my face lit up before a smirk appears on my face.

"So I'm special then?"

"You have no idea."
