Chapter 1~ The New Job

"So let me get this straight. We could be guardian angels and see our friends again but they won't be able to see us?" I asked the men that called themselves, The Elders.

"That is correct. This job is not about mingling with the living, it is about protecting them." The modern sounding Elder answered. "Protect them from what, exactly?"

"Anything. If we can prevent them from dying then we do it." The same Elder answered. "Uh huh. And why do you want us specifically?"

"Because Rebeca-" the smarter sounding Elder started but I cut him off. "It's Beca." I corrected him.

"Beca, we have been watching over you your entire life. You have always had the perfect mixture of brains, strength, and heart. It was not until you fell in love with Jesse that these characteristics became of the same strength, making you a tough human. Now that your an angel, you have only gotten stronger and that is the type of angel we want as guardians."

"Then why do you want Jesse?" I asked, getting an offended 'hey' from Jesse. "If we did not have him then the two of you will never see each other again. We knew that there was no chance of you joining us if that happened."

"Good point." I agreed. "Besides, he is willing to do almost anything to the protect the ones he loves. How do you think you were awakened from that coma?" I was about to ask what he meant when the hunky sounding leader cut in.

"You do not have to have your answer today. Sleep on it and the two of you can come by to see us tomorrow. We will discuss this in full detail and you can give us your final decisions then."

These memories of last night have been playing through my head all night. The thought of being with my friends again is wonderful but I don't know how well I would do under all of that pressure. I need to think about this and what helps a woman think more than a nice, long, hot bath? Nothing and that's why I'm doing exactly that at this very moment.

I'm in the midst of thinking when Jesse walks into the bathroom. My mind falls clear of guardian angels and fills with my amazing angel boyfriend. "I see you're doing some serious thinking." He said as he eyed the steaming bubble filled water that has engulfed my body.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked with a small smile. "No." he said as he knelt down beside the tub. "I just know you enough to know that when your in a steaming tub with fruity bubbles, it usually meansyou're thinking about an important decision."

"This is a lot of thinking for one girl. You wanna jump in and help me?" I asked him jokingly. He chuckled as he pushed the hair behind my ears. "As tempting as that is, no can do. Sorry baby, but this one is your decision. But, I can give you my advice if you'd like." he offered. I gestured for him to continue. "I think, that you should do it."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it'll be fun."

"Honey, just because you see it in movies doesn't mean that it's all that glamorous in the real world." he rolled his eyes and chuckled again. "I'm not all about movies, Bec. I have actually done the whole guardian angel thing before. It's fun."

"You? Were a guardian angel?" I asked, shocked by his words. He answered with a slight nod. "No way. Whose?"

"Yours."

"Sh*t, seriously?" his serious expression gave me my answer. "Wow. You have surpassed every guy that I have ever met in the romance category." Looking deep into my eyes, he smiled before leaning over and pressing his lips against mine. He lightly ran the tip of his tongue across my bottom lip and I parted them. His tongue slid into my mouth and met mine. I closed my eyes as I felt his lips slide over mine and our tongues dance gracefully. His hand cupped my cheek as he kissed me soft and slowly.
