Devil's Angels: The Satan's Son (Book 1)

Chapter 11: Ice cream

        I didn't see Namn when school ends, so I go home guilty with the gang. Bo tries to push me into a river, which wasn't exactly nice, but Danny pushed him from behind so he fell. It was entertaining for all of us. 

        When we get back to the run down mansion, Bo went away quickly to change his clothes, Danny went to practice something or other. Since Fabian, Catalina and myself have nothing to do, we all go to some ice cream shop on the corner of the street. A young man has taken our orders. I have never had ice cream before, and Fabian demands that I had their pure chocolate surprise. I am not sure about the 'surprise' part, but we'll see.

        Ice cream is the best food in the entire worlds!!!!! I shovel mine down like a mad man and Fabian can't stop laughing. I'm blushing, and Catalina is doing a wonderful job not pointing it out. She's on her phone on some website called Wattpad. She's obsessed with this one book and won't put it down. Fabian says it's a 'nerd problemo'. Catalina kicked him with her metal leg. Fabian squeals like a little girl: if anyone wants to know.

        Cat started home early leaving just Fabian and myself. He stares off into the distance; the light making shadows on his already beautiful face. Shit, did I say that out loud?

        "I know you're staring at me." Fabian states, not moving a muscle. I quickly rip my gaze away and blush even more. I don't know why I feel like this around him, it never happened at home. Then again, I had a little more on my mind then. Since I've fallen, I feel free and happy. It was wonderful to see Namn and all, but it seemed to bring back the burdens. 

        "What are you thinking about?" Fabian asks, and I look up. He's looking at me with pure curiosity. 

        "Just my old home......" I trail off. Even though Fabian knows what I am, it's still awkward for me. Fabian surprises me by putting his hand over mine. Fire erupts under my skin. 

        "Your really brave." He says, looking back off into the distance. 

        I laugh before I can stop myself. Me, brave? Ha!

        "You are." Fabian pushes. "I don't know many people that would survive that fall and take it so easily like you did. You're so kind, thoughtful and nice." 

        I swallow. I tried to murder my father. Even if he was an awful man, I still tried to kill somebody. I wasn't sweet or nice. And half of the time I feel too stupid to be thoughtful. 

        "Julian......"

        "Yeah?" 

        "I know you don't believe me, which is sad, but-" He takes a deep breath. "But your an amazing person."

        My heart swells up in joy, but also another feeling. It's like he knows about my father. And maybe he does. After all, he knew I was an angel. What else does he know?

        "I saw my brother today." I spit out before I can stop myself. I don't know why I blurted it out, but I needed to tell someone, and Fabian is here. 

        He raises an eyebrow and smiles. "Really?" He says, in such thick sarcasm you could ice a cake with it. I playfully punch him in the arm and he starts to laugh. 

        "How'd you know?" I demand. 

        Fabian shrugs and pushes himself out of his seat. "It was a prediction really. I saw you talking to him. I have suspected he's an angel since he arrived. Plus you guys look so alike." Fabian begins to walk down the street. I jump off the bench and chase after him. Since he's so tall, I have to take long strides to keep up with him. 

        "He's my twin." I explain. "He was banished." He stops in his tracks and looks at me. I suddenly become self-aware of myself. 

        Fabian snorts and I look up in surprise. "But he's such a goody two shoes!" 

        I laugh at this mostly becasue it's true, but also because it takes the pressure off of me answering a question of my past life. 

        "You can tell me anything, you know that, right Julian?" Fabain remarks out of the blue.

        "Yeah," I reply, completly honest. "I know."
