Do you believe in Angels?

Chapter 4

The next day Melanie was sitting in the resturaunt in which they decided to spend time together. She was very happy after a long time. It was strange because Melanie had never been so happy in a long time.

And even though they just met once and talked on the phone for only few minutes but still Melanie felt connected to Noah. She switched on her phone and messaged him.

Melanie: Hi, where are you?

Noah: On my way

Her face lit up with a smile when she anticipated Noah's arrival any moment. Melanie started feeling a little nervous so she decided to stand outside of the resturaunt and wait for Noah.

Suddenly Melanie saw two boys coming towards her. They looked so drunk. "Hi beautiful, why you standing alone". One of them said almost falling on Melanie. "Stay away from me". Melanie said with a snap. But they weren't going to listen any sooner. One of them tried to touch Melanie's face but she pushed away his hand.

"Come on just let me touch you once, I'll go". He said and attempted to touch again. "What are you doing? Leave me alone". Melanie said almost about to cry. Abruptly a hand appeared on the boy's shoulder and in a second he was pushed on the wall.

Melanie's eyes widened after seeing Noah standing infront of her. "You heard her.. leave her alone". He stated angrily. The two boys left immediately. Noah cast a glance at terrified Melanie. "Hey, It's ok, they're gone.". He tried to calm Melanie. They both went inside the resturaunt.

Melanie's POV

I feel so scared and discomfort. We sit across each other obviously. Noah is wearing a gray shirt with blue jeans and a watch that appears to be branded. His hairs were a little messy which makes him even more handsome.

Although I am here to enjoy the night with him but I couldn't get the thoughts out of my head. That scene is being played again and again infront of me. I still feel their presence around me and I am so terrified that I tried to examine the whole area near me.

"Are you okay?". Noah asked as he put down the menu and looked at me. "I'm okay". I did not want to appear as a scaredy cat. "Are you sure because I can see the discomfort in your eyes". God what is he, a mind reader.

"I'm actually still in shock right now". I replied with full confidence. He held my hand and as soon as he did that, I felt thousands of butterflies flapping inside my stomach. I'm amazed seeing my own reaction just by a little touch. "You don't need to worry now, I am here". He said but didn't get his desired reaction from my side so he tried one more time.

"Do you believe in angels?". I nod my head at him. "What do they do?". He asked. "Protect us". I replied trying to understand what he's trying to say. "Consider me as your angel, I will protect you and as long as I am with you, nothing will happen to you. I promise". He uttered and I smiled widely at his theory.

At once I felt secured and I slowly came back to my original self. Although still quiet, respecting my nature. But now I was having a good time. We talked about a lot of stuff. About friends, about some interests and he even crack jokes in the middle to keep up with the awkwardness.

I told him about Mia and some of my interests. But ofcourse I didn't tell him about my actual identity. "So what else do you like other than painting and reading?". He asked jolting me back to the reality. "I like to listen to music and watch romantic movies". I replied and I could feel my cheeks burning when I utter the word romantic.

We ordered our meals and drinks. The food here tasted so good that I thought I'll bring Mia here too. I loved how he made sure I tasted his meal as well, and I found it so adorable that he blows everytime before feeding me.
