Who knows how much longer after that, he laid on his back, one arm behind his head and the other wrapped around me, holding me close to him with my head on his chest and leg over his.

"Jay?" I asked.

"Hm?" He mumbled.

"Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm okay. What about you?"

"I feel good. It's a different feeling." I said, using my finger to trace swirls into his chest.

"Yea." He chuckled. "I guess your first time gives you a crazy adrenalin rush."

"And every time you do it, it doesn't?" I asked propping myself up on my elbow and looking down at him.

"Well..." He motioned for me to come closer. "With you, this is the first time for a long time since I felt like this."

I laughed and burrowed my face in the pillow beside his head. "Awe."

"Don't tell anyone I said that." He whispered.

I laughed again and looked at him. "Promise."

He looked at me for a bit longer then cracked another grin. "I like your after sex hair."

I hit his chest lightly. "Shut up."

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off.

I peeled myself off of a still sleeping Jay and quietly turned it off and got dressed.

I looked around for a pad of paper. When I couldn't find any, I found a dry erase marker and wrote on the mirror.

"I gotta head out for work, then my house so my parents don't look bad. I made you breakfast, it's in the oven. Love you."

I walked downstairs and quickly whipped up from French toast and tea. I put it in the oven and headed for my car.

That day after work and headed home. I saw three cars in the driveway, one I didn't recognize. The social worker was here.

I came though the front door because I was suppose to make everything look normal and happy, smile.

When I walked though the front door, my parents were sitting at breakfast table with a petite lady, cradling a huge cup of coffee.

My mum looked up and waved to me. "Rene this is our oldest daughter, Eleanor."

"Ellie." I dropped my bag. Rene turned around to smile at me. I was about to shake her hand when I took a look at her face. My hand stopped halfway to hers. "Cassie?"

Her eyes flashed an electric blue. "Who?"

"You- the physical therapist." I looked at my parents. "She was helping Jay at the hospital."

"Sweetheart I don't know what you're talking about. My name is Rene Samuel. I'm a social worker, evaluating this wonderful family here." She gave me a tooth smile.

"Ah-" her eyes flashed again and I forgot what I was saying.

She grabbed my hand. "Nice to meet you."

"Yea..." I shook my head to get rid of the confusion.

"Well, this looks like everyone is good here." She nodded at me and headed towards the door.

"Okay..." I shook my head again and head downstairs before my dad could give crap about what I said yesterday.

Before I could reach the basement door, my mum stopped me.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

"Working. Taking care of Jay." I tried to worm pass her.

"What's on your neck?" She brushed my hair aside.

"Nothing." I pushed her hand away.

"Is that from Jay?" My mum pushed.

"Leave me alone." I said. "You know you shouldn't be bugging me about where I have been when you leave me alone with him. If you think that me staying over his house to take care of him and being with him, is bad thing you need to reevaluate yourself."

I pushed past her and locked the basement door behind me. I dropped my bag on my desk and fell face first into my bed.

"Ugghh" I groaned into my pillow.

"Good for you, for standing up to your mom. She was pissing me off too." A voice as soft as feathers said. My head snapped up and siting on my desk, was Cassie, no longer in her dress suit. She was now wearing a black tank top under a green jacket. On the bottom, she had some pretty ripped up jeans and combat boots on. Her golden brown hair which was once in a bun, now hung in a messy, but pretty state. Her blue eyes flashed again as they looked at me. "Hello?"

"Cassie... What... Why?" I couldn't find any words to say. "How did you get down here? Why are you a social worker named Rene? What aren't you telling me?"

"Clam down. One question at a time. First off, Cassie and Rene were just vessel names. My name is Malayeka, an angel, sent here to protect you and Jason." She jumped down from the desk and walked over to me.

I scrambled off the bed and fell on my butt. I stumbled on my hands and butt to the wall. "Stay away from me."

"Why? What's wrong? Is this vessel too imitating? I figured this girl would be a nice way to fit in..." Malayeka looked at her arms.

"No... You're crazy. You can't see angels. They are light, they can't possess people, never mind talk to them." I stammered.

"At least you didn't say angels don't exist." She rolled her eyes. "The amount of times of heard that. But I will prove it to you."

Suddenly, she was standing in front of me, taking a hold of my hand. The next thing I knew, I was sitting on the driveway in front of Jay's house.

"How-" I looked around. I didn't remember moving, I didn't feel anything but a quick gust of strong wind, then nothing.

"We flew here." Malayeka grinned, clearly very proud of herself. The air filled with the heavy sent of burnt vanilla. When I looked at her, very faintly in the darkening sky, I could see the shimmering outline of her huge wings. I saw a few sparking feathers fall to the ground, before she closed them up.

"Why...?" I asked, standing up. "Why are you protecting me and Jay?"

"Well, you two are very important souls. But that's all anyone ever told me. I've been watching the two of you for years. Your souls shine very brightly, especially when near each other." Malayeka clasped her hands in front of her chest and sighed. "I was watching on the first day you kissed. That's when something happened. I was summoned to the grand hall, they told me to watch over you two and the next thing I knew I was hurdling toward earth at a billion kilometres per second. My wings are still recovering."

"If you have been watching for so long, why did you let Jay get into that crash? Why didn't you stop him?" I asked, stepping back from her, hurt. We had angels watching over us that didn't even bother to keep us safe.

"We aren't allowed to tamper with fate." Malayeka shook her head. "I couldn't stop him. But I had the choice for whether he lived or died."

"You saved him..?" I asked, swallowing loudly.

"As best as I could, down here my powers aren't as strong." She sighed.

"But-" I was cut off by a soft voice calling my name.

"Ellie?" His sleepy voice called. "What are you doing back here? I thought you were spending the night at your house."

"Yea." I looked to were Malayeka was standing. She wasn't there anymore, the air was just filled with burnt vanilla again. I walked over to him. "Did you see a girl standing with me a moment ago?"

"No, just you... with no shoes on?" He asked looking at me feet.

"Yea. You know Cassie?" I asked.

"Yea?" He shook his head. "Did she steel your shoes...?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "Her name is actually Malayeka. She's an angel."

"I didn't know you swung that way, but hey, I'm into it." Jay grinned.

"Not like that you perv." I hit his chest. "Like a God sent celestial being."

"What? No how could that be? They don't exist." He shook his head and moved so I could come inside.

"They do. I saw her with my own eyes. Why do you think I'm here? I flew here." I explained walking into the kitchen.

"Well half flied, half dragged. My wings aren't working too well right now." A now familiar chimed in.

"See?" I motioned wildly to Malayeka that now was perched on the stove.

"Cassie?" Jay asked.

"Actually my name is Malayeka, Cassie is this vessel's name." She shrugged and jumped off the stove. "How are you feeling Jay?"

"Amazing..." The wild look appeared in his eyes, the same one he got after getting off his motorbike. "You're an angel."

"Yup." She chirped. Before she could continue, the ground shook underneath us.

"What the hell?" Jay demanded, holding the counter for balance.

"Boss man calling for me. I'll be back soon. Toodles!" She waved and left.

When all that was left of her was burning vanilla, I tuned to Jay. "See?"

"What the hell?" He asked again, still gripping the counter.

I told him what Malayeka said.

"Us?" He shook his head. "Why us?"

"I don't know." I sighed.

"Well all angels aside... Sleep over?" He grinned.

I laughed and looked at him, then ran up stairs, him close behind me.
