Falling In Love With My Guardian Angel

Chapter 8 Gold

Melody's POV

-------

He forced me to look at him. Not really forced me to, but, I just couldn't take my eyes off of him. I sighed and looked down, breaking the tense eye contact, of course, he just hugged me. I could feel his heart pounding against his chest. It was a slow, steady rhythm that was soothing and made me want to just collapse into his arms. It was stupid--trust me--to think about him like that, especially with him being my friend for so long and then suddenly BAM we were dating...i think. I wasnt really sure on our status, but i knew that i liked him, and from what i could tell he liked me, so i just left it at that. He set his chin on my head and i grumbled under my breath. He had grown taller since I first met him and it bothered me.

"So," he sighed into my hair, "you can see angels too."

I stopped breathing, Too? What does he mean by too?

"Uhm, yeah, i guess you could call it that. It was probably just a figment of my imagination though."

He tilted my face up to his with the side of his finger and I felt my blood go cold. A brilliant gold color flashed through his eyes. He leaned in to kiss me, but stopped, "What's wrong?"

"I-Its nothing, I'm fine. Why?" Like he would believe that.

"I haven't seen you go that pale in a while. I'm not going to kill you, its just a kiss." Great, he was laughing at me.

I leaned in to the kiss to shut him up and i felt him smile against my lips. This boy really will be the death of me. That was all he wanted was for me to shut him up. He pressed the kiss further, but i wouldn't budge. He backed off and pouted for a moment before attacking my neck with his lips. I gasped in shock and felt my knees go weak. "Fu...ck..." i groaned out.

"You have a bad habit of cursing whenever i do something you like." his voice was almost a whisper.

"Well if you weren't so damn good at kissing me, i wouldn't..." my voice trailed off as i suppressed a groan.

He wasn't listening, i could tell. He just continued to kiss my neck and make me feel like an idiot for never going this far with anyone. I pushed away from him slightly and he stopped, "What is it?"

"Why are you suddenly so brave? I thought you were just a shy kid who couldn't talk to a girl if his life depended on it."

"Well, that's what I want people to think. I don't want people getting close to me."

"Why? You're a really cool person, why would you isolate yourself like that? And how am I any different than anyone else?"

"Because people suck..." his voice trailed off and I could tell that he was hiding something.

When I looked in his eyes I was met with a stunning gold that made my heart jump into my throat. I pushed him away from me so hard that he slammed against the wall and I could tell that the air was knocked out of him for a moment. He was confused and hurt, I knew, but I wasn't thinking. I backed up and almost tripped on my own feet. I was terrified, that color, that beautiful gold, was the same as earlier that day, and no matter if I tried to convince myself otherwise, Orion, geeky little Orion, had the same color eyes.
