Strings Of Fate

Chapter 17: Blind paths

"What!" Cherri yelled after an hour of Angel explaining everything. He had explained everything regarding Daniel, starting from the incident in the elevator up until the man stayed and watched over him while he was in the hospital. As for Alastor, he kept the whole 'he tried to kill me but we're cool now' under wraps. He didn't want Cherri to go after him especially when it seemed Alastor and him were getting along and forming some kind of friendship. Regarding Alastor, he hadn't actually explained anything considering him and mainly just focused on Daniel and how Angel ended up in the hospital in the first place.

He looked at Cherri who was sitting beside him now, staring at him with wide eyes but there was a sparkle in them as if she was about to implode much like a fangirl reading a fanfiction. His assumption was only more added to this as a grin spread across her features. "So you like Daniel?" Cherri asked, leaning forward a bit causing Angel's cheeks to tint a light red.

"U-Uh...well, I mean, maybe?"

"What about that other guy that was in here? He looked pretty sharp~ didn't think that was your type, Angel."

"It's not." Angel quickly retorted. "That guy was just a friend of mine." Cherri playfully shoved Angel but not too hard being mindful of his injuries and the IV's in his arms.

"I see you, Angie~" Angel rolled his eyes.

"It ain't like that."

"Suuure~" Angel laid back against the bars of his bed, putting the pillow on the back of his head to prop his head up. "So you gonna tell me who that hot brunette was?" Angel's ears tinted pink at the word 'hot'.

"...Ya' remember a while back when I said someone saved my sorry ass from those..." Angel paused, his voice trailing off Cherri's bubbly demeanor crumbled into something more serious as she nodded, leaning forward. Angel didn't say anything but rather glanced at the empty chair on the other side of his bed where Alastor had been before leaving. Cherri followed his gaze and when the puzzle pieces clicked together her eyes grew wide.

"No way...that was the guy?"

"Duh." Angel muttered prompted a slap upside the back of his head.

"Ow-bitch!" He hissed. That hurt a lot more than usual.

"So ya' found yourself a prince charmin' huh? Saved ya' ass and got da' looks to?" Angel wouldn't mention the part about how he basically forced their next meeting and the ones after that or how Alastor tried to kill him but then apologized for it.

"Y'know that shit doesn't really exist. 'Sides, we're just friends. I haven't known the guy for that long anyway." Cherri wiggled her eyebrows at Angel teasingly Angel shoved her as a result but not very hard as he couldn't with the IV's in his arms. She laughed as a result of his shove and stuck her tongue out playfully.
