Bennet After Venice. (20/100)

"So how, exactly, do we know each other?" Angel shook off the thought of leaning even closer to the Love God and settled on sipping her shake. "Well, it was like a fairytale...Once upon a time..." He began putting his elbows on the counter and resting his chin in his palms. "There was this beautiful girl, a stunning princess..." Angel smiled, "Beautiful, stunning?" He nodded and continued. "Yep, and she was in a dire state of need! See her carriage door was stuck and she was in a big hurry to get back to her castle!" Angel laughed, "Oh no! What was she to do?" She played along with him. "The task of opening the carriage is that of a strong and handsome prince...Luckily the gorgeous princess was rescused by one! He found her and saved the day!" Angel laughed again. "Excuse me!" She playfully hit him on the shoulder. "That is not how it went happened...It wasn't a carriage, it was my car, and you weren't a prince...No matter how strong or handsome you are!" His smile turned devious and widen. "So I am strong and handsome to you?" Angel blushed. "Tha...that's not what I meant to say..." He chuckled. "Suresure..." She took another sip of her shake and quickly changed the subject to avoid further blushing. "This is really good!" He gave her a look like he was right and said, "Yeah? Thanks. Usually Dan, my boss, only let's me make them after closing." He rolled his magnificent eyes. "He says they're not good enough for his high quality coffee menu..." Angel scoffed. "That's crap! They're delicious!" And she wasn't lying. Wait...Closing? The Time! Angel had totally forgotten the time. She almost spilt her shake as twisted her arm to look at her watch, 7:20. "Crap!" Angel stood up. "What?" The Love God asked. "I'm late!" Gio's face flashed through her head, what the hell am I doing here? My man's at home and I'm here flirting with another! "Crap again..." Then she remembered that she had walked all the way there. She looked at the window, the sun was already down. "Crap! Crap! Crappers!" The Love God chuckled from behind her. "Crappers?" He raised his eyebrows as she turned to face him. "Yes, crappers...I was suppose to be home at 7 and I walked here! Stupid me!" Angel began to mumble to herself. "Great Idea Angel! Walk here for the exercise! Aho!" She looked up at the Love God. He had moved to the end of the counter, grabbed a jacket off a hanger nearby, and hit a light switch. "Now..." He came around the counter and stood in front of her, only an inch away. The only light in the cafe came from a street lamp from outside and perfectly illuminated his face, his slightly messy hair, and eyes. "We are gonna get you home!" He smiled and jangled a set of car keys in front of her, then stepped back placing his hands on both of her shoulders. He started looking at her up and down, as if inspecting her. Angel began to get nervous. "What?" She asked, do I have anything in my teeth? She began to question how she looked. Is my hair tangled? Am I sweaty? "Nope." The Love God was shaking his head. "What?" She asked again worried. He leaned in, closer to her face. Again his sweet smell overwhelmed her. "You definitely do not need any exercise!" He lingered for a second, then turned for the door. Swoosh! Leaving Angel dazed. "Are you coming?" He smirked holding the door for her.
