Guardian Angel by Torye Smith (free e reader txt) 📕

saw the picture. Calling the Dark Angel by his Latin name just confirmed it. Instead of answering he just shrugged and continued walking as if I hadn’t said a word.
“Hello, you didn’t answer my question,” I said getting a little frustrated.
“Does it really matter how I know it,” he asked. I could see I was starting to irritate him, but at this point I didn’t care.
“Yes as a matter of fact it does,” I answered defiantly. He gave me this creepy smile that really didn’t fit on his face.
“Would you believe me if I told you I was your angel,” He said with a smirk which I matched with my own.
“Yes, actually I would,” I stated truthfully.
Shock was clear in his eyes. I guess he didn’t expect me to say that. It was true, though. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the Dark Angel.
“Well, tell me this Ms. Alexis,” Nathan started bringing me out of my thoughts. “If it weren’t for your little dreams than would you believe?”
I thought about that for a second before answering. “To tell you the truth if I were younger the answer would be a no,” I answered.
“And what about now,” he asked me while coming closer.
“Now I think I would,” I said. “I mean you gotta believe in something, right?”
His lips started to pull upward until a full blown grin was upon his face.
“Y’know, I was really hoping you’d say that,” he said all the while coming closer to me.
“What are you doing,” I asked him.
“Something I wish I’d done in your dreams,” he said with a seductive smile. My eyes widened when he said that. He leaned over and for a split second I thought he was going to kiss me but instead he just wrapped his arms around me. I wasn’t going to complain, though. His arms around me felt better than it could have ever been in my dreams.
“This at least I knew was real. I stayed there for few more minutes before I moved away. He frowned as I took a few more steps away.
“So you’re real,” I said but it came out as more of a question. He just nodded as if he was waiting for a different reaction to me.
“So why are you here,” I asked him.
“It seems as if the Dark Angel is becoming more and more attached to you,” he explained. I wish he was more attached to me, I thought. I shook my head trying to clear my mind.
“What do you mean he’s attached to me,” I asked not fully getting it.
“Did you ever talk to him even if it was just for a second,” he asked dodging my question.
I racked my brain trying to think of anytime I had possibly talked to him. Suddenly I remembered something.
“I may have acknowledged him at some point in time,” I answered sheepishly. Nathan snapped his head toward me. I had a feeling I was going to be in a lot of trouble.

The Good/Bad Guy

“What did you say to him,” Nathan asked accusingly.
“I just told him I could probably consider being friends with him if he stopped trying to kill me,” I explained. Nathan started to pace back and forth in front of me.
“So you’re telling me that he just backed off and let you go so he could be friends with you,” he asked incredulously. I instantly took a few cautious steps away from him. Of course he noticed my retreating form. He raised an eyebrow at me before taking three strides until he was right beside me.
“You weren’t trying to run away from me were you,” he asked. I just smiled and took another step away from him.
“Just taking precautions,” I said.
“Tell me what you told him Alexis,” He said through gritted teeth.
“Promise me you won’t get mad first,” I said. He closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair with a sigh.
“I’m not mad at you,” He said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards him. Why was he being so intimate toward me so suddenly? It was a little unnerving. I took in a shaky breath before letting it out trying to relax myself.
“I told him that people wouldn’t treat him so differently if they knew his story,” I said choosing my words carefully.
“What story,” he asked his expression going guarded.
I shook my head not sure if I could answer that.
“Alexis he tried to kill you and yet you seem to be trying to protect him,” Nathan said through gritted teeth. I felt my anger start to rise again. I took a deep breath trying not to snap his head off.
“I promised him I wouldn’t tell,” I said harshly. “You must have set him off. Told him something that made him think I told you. Did you talk to him?” My question seemed to actually shock him. He quickly looked away from my accusing glare.
“What the hell Nathan,” I snapped. “You’re mad at me for talking to the guy when you’ve been this whole time.
“I told you I wasn’t angry at you,” he said reaching out towards me. I instantly moved away from him. I was starting to think the only reason he was being so intimate towards me was so he could get information from me
“If you know him so well why don’t you ask him what he told me,” I said raising an eyebrow.
“Why can’t you just tell me what he said,” he practically shouted.
“Because I promised him I wouldn’t,” I shouted back at him. “And when I make a promise I keep it no matter what kind of angel you are.” I made sure to put extra emphasize on angel because right now I was starting to think he was lying about who he was. Before he could most likely snap at me a car pulled up right on side of me. It was a pretty sweet looking. Although the dark tinted windows kind of made it look like any minute a guy would jump out and kidnap me. Blame my wild imagination for that scenario. Suddenly the window rolled down to reveal-
“Lucas,” I exclaimed. He looked over to me with a smile.
“Well hello my little angel,” he said with a smile. I started to ask him what he was doing here but Nathan interrupted me, pulling my arm roughly so I was behind him.
“What the hell do you want, Tenebrosi Angelus,” Nathan snapped.
“Please try to refrain yourself from calling me by my title,” Lucas ground out before turning to me. “Do you need a ride?”
I glanced over at Nathan to see him glaring daggers at Lucas.
“Sure,” I said walking towards his car. Before I could even take two steps Nathan grabbed my arm and yanked me towards him. Without so much as a warning Lucas got out of the car to come and stand beside me. He shoved Nathan back with a growl before grabbing my hand and pulling me behind him.
“Don’t touch her,” he snarled. Nathan just laughed in his face. I was starting to think my guardian angel wasn’t actually the good guy.
“Is that your little secret,” Nathan said still laughing softly to himself. “You care about the child.”
Yup, he was definitely not the good guy.
