If I Saw You Earlier

Chapter 11

" what are you talking about?". I asked.
" he is a demon, and me and him are very different. If you only knew what he was thinking! He is a jerk!" he said. He was very angry.
" can't we just forget him?". It was almost summer. I was sure we might not see him again.
" no, he probably knows how I am. That is the reason he came to your brother. Asking about me". He said. He looked in my eyes. That awkward silence in the room was not what I thought about when I invited him.

" I will eat here. Just to let your parents know I am not nice or something, but I will be gone for a few days".
" why? Will you be here on the very last day of school?". I didn't want to lose him.
" I will. I never want to let you go but this is important.". He shook his head and said.
" I will have to fly and talk to him in private, away from here". He said looking at the sky. It was light out there.
" you mean fly. Like you have wings?".
" yes, and so does he" his answer got me thinking. Will they fight up there?

" dinner is ready!" I heard my mom call us. Me and James let the conversation go and started to work. We didn't talk much about it.
" coming". I yelled. We went downstairs. I saw mark in the kitchen trying to get to to fridge.
" dinner is ready go have a seat!". She never liked us eating before dinner. We could eat a snack after school but nothing more.

" and you must be James. Hello I am Emma, nice to meet you". My mom was nice, not like my brother. She was a social woman and she understood boys and girls and life and mistakes.
" nice to meet you, I am thankful to be here".
He said it in an old fashioned way. I liked it.

" mom? Where is dad?"
" honey, he is working late and he is in new York"
" really? When did he go there?".
" oh.. You are so busy with your homework you can't notice where your father is. Thank god summer is almost here". She said as she brought the cold pasta salad to the table.

Dinner was awkward. Mark gave James looks. I didn't eat much and my mom was to tiered to talk to 3 teenagers.
" thanks for dinner, it was so delicious". James said as he stood near the door.
" you are welcome here anytime you like.

He walked out of the house. I helped my mom with the dishes and then walked to my room.

" hey.." he said. I liked him coming on my room. In a secret way.
" I couldn't leave without saying goodbye". I tiptoed towards him and hugged him.
He put his arms in my waist and I kissed him. We kissed like it was the first and the last kiss. It was passionate and nice.
" I love you. Please be careful". I whispered.
" same back at you". He whispered back, then he kissed my head and said
" when I come back I will make you fly in the sky" he said it and he went out of the window. He walked in the empty street. The last thing I saw of him was his shadow.
