Bennet After Venice. (21/100)

"Is this it?" The Love God asked as he pulled off to the curb in front of Angel's house. "Yeap." Angel went for the door handle, but stopped and turned back to him. On the ride over he had tolled her how he had just moved here from New York and was a musician. He stayed here after his old band had played a gig about six months ago. She also learned that he wanted to rejoin a band and one day own his own coffee shop. She looked at him in his smooth black leather jacket, he wasn't smiling. Angel couldn't make out what he was thinking. "Umm, thank you so much for the ride...and the wonderful milkshake..." She waited as he didn't say anything. "Well, goodbye then...and thanks again..." "Angel?" She opened the door and stepped out onto the street. He called out through the open window as she shut the door. "Yes?" She peered through the door. "I was wondering...If maybe we could see each other again? Maybe tomorrow?" He smiled more shyly than before. He looked more nervous than he had all evening. Angels heart fluttered. Wait, I AM MARRIED! What the hell am I doing? "Umm, there's something you need to know." Angel lifted her left hand up and pointed to her ring finger. His face broke into shock. "Oh..." He adjusted to the sight, running his hand through his hair. "I really don't know how I didn't see that all evening..." he smiled weakly and gave a half fearted laugh. "Listen" Angel felt bad. "I'm sorry if I mislead you...Don't get me wrong you are a great guy..." Angel looked at him. "It's okay" His smile returned some of it's spunk, slightly. "But I still wanna see you, even if it's as friends...Hell I could use a friend...Since I just got here...I have none!" He smiled even though he was serious about having no friends. Angel considered it, I can be his friend right? Nothing will happen...To grown people can be friends..."The prince and princess can be friends!" He chuckled to himself. Angel smiled and laughed with him. "Yeah I guess they can be..." They exchanged numbers and said goodbye. Angel waved and turned to walk to the house, realizing she hadn't asked him his name the entire evening. She smiled as she listed him as Love God in her cell phones directory.
She didn't notice him watch her walk into the house sad, but hopeful before driving off.
