“Do you need me to bring you some dinner?” Gabriel asked.
“No, thank you, Angel. I’ll probably just order a pizza.”
“Okay,” he said with a sigh.
“How was your music lesson?” I didn’t want to get off the phone yet.
“It went great,” he said, enthused. “I’m officially done with lessons. I feel like I really learned a lot by taking them, more so than I thought I would. Now I’ll just have to keep up with my playing and try not to forget anything.”
“Well, you can play for me anytime.” I loved watching and hearing him play and I never wanted him to give it up.
“I guess I better stop blabbering in your ear so you can get some work done,” he muttered dejectedly and I pictured him biting his lip after he said it.
“You can blabber anytime you want.” I smiled. “I love you, Princess.”
“I love you too, my knight in shining armor.”
I laughed. “I don’t think my armor is anywhere close to shining. It’s more tarnished and damaged.”
“That only means you have experienced the hard blows life has thrown at you and you have come back victorious and even stronger than before,” he spoke with a rich sincerity in his melodic voice.
“There you go being a fortune cookie again,” I teased.
“As if,” he snickered into the phone.
Fuck, I missed him.
Hearing a knock at my door, I looked up to see Richard standing in the doorway holding some documents. Speaking into my phone, “Angel, I’ve got to go. I’ll stop by your place when I get done here, okay?”
“Okay, Sir Stud.” He sighed dramatically and hung up the phone.
Even after the line went dead, I held the phone to my ear, an ache already forming in my chest from the absence of him.
“Hey, Michael,” Richard interrupted my moment and came strolling into the room. “I think I found something you might find useful. It took alotof digging and some persuading on my end to get it, but I finally got it.”
Seeing the papers he handed to me, a smile formed on my face. It’s exactly what I needed.
