A Light In The Darkness

Chapter 8

"What do you want?" I finally said.

"Can I come in?" He said.

What a jerk "No you can't say your empty filled words and then leave."

"Oh come on just-"

"Ok have a goodnight" I went to close the door but his hand had caught between the wall and the door. For a moment I considered slamming his hand. He could heal right.

"Just wait let me explain myself and then i'll leave"

I looked at him and he really did want to explain himself. I hated myself for almost feeling pity for him. Whatever he was doing he was good because I said-

"You have 10 mins to talk and then get out" I opened the door. He put his hand down from between the door and wall and stepped into my room. He fit right through. These doors seemed to be made for his wings and height. He was scanning my room. What was he looking at?

"Nice room," He said.

"Start talking" I said ignoring his comment about the room. I didn't have to be nice to him if he was here to apologize then let's get it over with.

"I....apologize about my previous comments." He said

I didn't want an apology. But if he was going to give me one, that was the best he could do ?

"That's it" I said, expressing my thoughts vocally.

"Well what do you want me to say."

"How about look, Sierra I'm really sorry I know I never should've said those things. I'm an ass I know." I said sarcastically.

"You want me to say....that." He said questioningly.

I gave an exasperated sigh and leaned into the pillar by the door. "You know what, forget it. All is forgiven" I said even though my tone of voice clearly showed everything wasn't forgiven.

I pushed off the pillar and turned around to open the door for him to leave.

"Look Sierra, I'm really sorry. I know I never should've said those things. I'm an ass I know." He blurted out.

I lowered my hand from the doorknob. I whirled around to find him standing there, a look in his eyes that probably read out is this enough. My face broke into a small smile then laughter choked out of me. Shaking my head as I said "I didn't think you'd actually say it" I said while still laughing. I slowly walked towards the bed and sat on it. Still chuckling, I looked at him and saw that he was still waiting for a reply.

I sighed and said in all seriousness "Yes, I forgive you"

"Great good ok let me get out of here."

"Wait before you go I have one question" I was curious, his answer wouldn't affect me but did I really talk that much because if I did I didn't notice.

"Do I really talk that much ?"

He turned to face me fully. His face stone cold as he said "Yes, you do"

Well okay then.

I thought he was going to turn around and leave until he said his face softening while the words came out of his mouth "But....I can tolerate it" He said very low but loud enough for me to hear.

My face broke again into a huge smile I just couldn't control. "Good to know," I said with a wink.

Why did he make me smile god damn him.

He nodded but I couldn't help but notice the sly grin that appeared on his face.

"Good night Sierra," He said.

"Good night Azriel" I replied.

Azriel's POV

All I could think about in bed was her face, her smile and laughter. She was beautiful. She made him crazy. She made him mad which probably made him say all those things about her. He regretted every word. After realizing she heard he wished she punched him in the face. He knew she was thinking it. He hated the way she accepted his shit-filled apology but she did and she meant it ,he could tell.

But he couldn't get the image out of his head. Her laughing her ass off in that nightgown. She was different. She challenged him in a way no one else ever did.

he needed to stay away. For her sake. But the question lingered in the back of my head as  he was drifting asleep.

What if  he couldn't.....
