Chapter 21: A Familiar Comfort
Erica didn't expect to feel anything when she met up with Angel again. But sitting across from her in a quiet café, she was surprised by how natural it felt.
Angel had always been warm—effortlessly kind in a way that made it easy to be around her. Unlike Nicole, who had always sparked something intense in Erica, Angel made her feel… calm.
"You look tired," Angel noted, stirring her drink. "Rough few weeks?"
Erica sighed. "Something like that."
Angel tilted her head. "Want to talk about it?"
For a second, Erica considered telling her everything. About Cloud. About Nicole. About the mess in her heart. But the words didn't come. Instead, she found herself saying, "I think I just need a break from it all."
Angel nodded in understanding. "Then let's make today about that. No stress, no drama. Just… us."
And for the first time in weeks, Erica let herself breathe.
Angel grabs Erica's hand and pull it hard,they both run like a kid that didn't know where to go,and then suddenly they finally stopped.
"What is this place," Erica asked with a gentle smile on her face
Angel make a serious face then smirk "If I felt any sadness in my heart I just went her and my heart warms itself,and I thought that maybe if I brings you here all the sadness inside you will be gone and will replace it with joy and happiness"
Erica felt something was wrong with her.
"Maybe..... maybe...maybe I'm falling for her,No!!! No!!! No!!! It can't be,she was just my friend,"Erica whispers to herself while looking at Angel's fine face
And maybe she was really falling for her.....
