Red String of Death | Radiodust

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Chapter 22 ♥

The next few days rolled by quickly. 

Angel and Alastor of course had their talks, but they were only small talks since Alastor and Angel were busy. 

Alastor had his work to tend to and Angel had to prepare to go out of town, which was what he was getting ready for currently. 

Angel already showered, cleaned his bedroom, put on makeup, and even got dolled up to go. He had his clothes packed. The clothes were his work clothing since Valentino told him not to worry about it.

Angel was just wearing pink jogging pants, his yellow sports bra, and a cropped pink hoodie. The hoodie barely covered anything since it stopped above his blossom. To finish his look, Angel put on his pink and yellow sneakers.

Now, the spider was downstairs in the lobby, holding Nuggets in his bottom set of his arms as he spoke to Cherri. Angel earlier asked if Cherri would watch Nuggets while he was away for a few days. Cherri of course said yes. She loved Nuggets so much. 

"Yeah, yeah, I know how to take care of him," Cherri said, shaking her hand dismissively near her head. She'd watched Nuggets plenty of times. She knew what she was doing. 

Angel pouted, rolling his eyes. He turned Nuggets so they could face each other. "Nuggies, Daddy's gonna be gone for a few days, K? After I'mma buy you treats for bein' a good boy," Angel said, giggling when Nuggets snorted and licked his cheek. 

Angel hugged Nuggets to his chest, turning his upper body side to side a little. He made sure not to squeeze the small bean too hard.

Angel heard his ringtone go off, so he stopped. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and saw Valentino calling. 

Letting out a disappointed sigh, Angel handed his pig to Cherri. "Thanks, Cherri, this means a lot t' me," Angel stated, smiling at Cherri, who smiled back. "Yeah, yeah. If anything happens, tell me and I'll beat the shit out of him," Cherri said, Angel, laughing. "I wish," Angel said. 

He grabbed his duffle bag that was on the floor, throwing it over his shoulder. Angel was about to walk off and bid his goodbyes, but Cherri quickly set Nuggets down and hugged him from behind, between his set of arms. Cherri set her forehead on Angel's back. "Stay safe, K?" Cherri muttered. Angel smiled softly, his cheeks growing a little warm. 

Cherri let go then Angel looked over his shoulder at the two, waving. "Bye Cherri!! Bye Nuggies!!" Angel said as he walked to the doors of the hotel. 

Once he made it, a frown came upon his face as he looked a little down. 

Stay safe?? Cherri knew deep down that that wouldn't be possible. It was just a few days... away from the hotel... with just his clients... and Valentino. 

Angel bit the inside of his cheek, not wanting his fear to build up. Valentino had a weird ability to sense fear and make you feel like shit for it. 

Angel took a deep, shaky breath, his eyes closed. 

"I don't think you should go."

Angel opened his eyes at the voice. Of course, he only saw the door because it was right in front of him. Angel lightly shook his head, getting his mind together before he turned around. 

He saw Vaggie and Charlie. 

"I have a bad feeling about you going," Charlie added after Vaggie spoke. "Maybe If I tell him to back off, he will," Vaggie said. Angel rolled his eyes. "No, he won't. Val's a bitch. He ain't gonna listen to one little girl that don't do nothin' for em," Angel said firmly. 

He knew he sounded harsh, but he just cared. He knew if Vaggie tried anything with or to Valentino, she'd get herself hurt, killed even. 

Vaggie rolled her eyes, looking away.
