Ch.15-The funeral

(Sweet pea and Angie's funeral outfits, can you imagine Sweet pea dressed like that though😍)

Angie's p.o.v

"Warehouse off of Hickory Road explodes in what is believed to be a drug lab accident. Police have confirmed four deaths..."

"You shouldn't be watching that stuff babe, it'll only bring you down." Sweet pea turned off the t.v as he came out of the bathroom.

"I need to know if they think it was foul play or not, or if they found any evidence of us being there." I turned to give him my best puppy dog eyes only to find the sexiest man alive standing behind me. If it wasn't such an important event I'd skip and never let him leave this room. He must've noticed my admiration, because he smirked and started walking towards me. He grabbed my waist and pulled me against him.

"See something you like?"

"Mm-hmm." I kissed him slowly, and drew it out so that I'd leave him wanting more just like I did. He gripped my waist tighter when I leaned up to deepen the kiss, and was getting ready to lift me when I pulled away.

"We need to get going soon." I said breathlessly. He groaned and pecked my lips one more time before pulling away. "You should dress up more often, you look scrumptious." He boomed out a laugh, no doubt going back to the time he called me that all those weeks ago.

"Thanks. I could say the same for you, you look absolutely gorgeous sweetheart." I smiled at him before grabbing his hand to pull him out of the room.

I was in much better spirits today, even with what was going on, then I was yesterday. I would start my Angel trials after the funeral today and I had no clue what those would bring. They aren't allowed to tell you what it will consist of, but Michaela was always adamant that I be as prepared as she could make me. She would always make sure I was at peak physical and mental strength and that I knew everything there is to know about the Angels and our history. It made me anxious that the tests would be really hard.

"What's wrong?" Sweet pea whispered in my ear. We had made it to the living room where the people who were ready gathered to prepare to leave for the cemetery we were burying her in.

"I'm just worried about the tests."

"Why? I know you'll ace them, besides this is what you want right?" It was. It always had been. Until that conversation by the river with Sweet pea that day, when he said he wanted a better life for our kids than them being in gangs their whole lives. And I'd agreed with him, and meant it. I had realized that day that I wanted him more than I wanted the title. That I cared about him and our future more than I cared about the Angels. But that was before all this happened, back when I thought I had years to make the decision for real. These girls needed me more than a hypothetical child did right now though, so I guess that means, despite what my heart yearns for, I'm gonna have to step up for these girls.

"Yeah it is." My voice came out as a mumble but he accepted it.

"Then you'll definitely pass. You are the most amazing person I have ever met, you're strong, and caring, and compassionate, and loving, and beautiful, and they're so lucky that they'll get to call you their Arch Angel, their leader." By the end of his speech I was teary eyed. I brought him in for a tight hug and just sat there.

"Thank you, Sweets. I needed that."

"Anytime darlin." I laughed lightly. I always thought it was so funny when he called me that. I pulled out of the hug and turned in his arms so my back was to his chest. After a few minutes everybody was ready and we headed towards the cemetery to say our final goodbyes.
