Chapter 5 Lost feather

CHAPTER 5

ANGELO'S POV

I rushed Senorita to the hospital and the nurses rushed her to the ER.

"Maga why are you here? You still have the guts to come here" I yelled and the nurses around signaled me to keep shut.

"I only poured her a glass of water and she collapsed. Of course I will be worried" Maga uttered.

"It's really no big deal so you should leave before Senorita wakes up and see you here. You don't even share any connections so why are you acting like you care" I shouted and the doctor came out of the ER and I ran to Senorita's bed.

"Doctor how's she doing? Is it something serious? " I asked curiously and the doctor looked at her.

"Her heartbeat dropped and it seems like her blood level dropped. What did you say happened to her again?" The doctor asked and I hesitated before answering.

"Someone poured a glass of water directly to her face. Doc it's not something serious right? Will she be fine?" I asked nervously.

"Her case is a bit complicated but she will be fine after some rest" He added and I had a sign of relief.

"Angelo!" Senorita called and I turned to her swiftly.

"Senorita, how are you feeling now?" I asked curiously and she stared at the doctor and I had the feeling she wants us to be alone.

"Doc can she be discharged tonight?" I asked and he nodded.

"Of course, she looks completely fine. She just rehabilitated for some minutes and I found it strange that her heartbeat dropped when she's totally fine. It's good she's fine now. I will take my leave now"

"Thank you doc" I said with a half smile and he left.

"Angelo, why did you bring me to the hospital? Are you not scared the nurses and doctors will find something strange about me" Senorita said and I sat next to her.

"When ones life is in danger, we lose our sense of thinking. I lied to the hospital that you lost your ID but how are you feeling right now? Why did you pass out of the blue?" I asked curiously and she sat up.

"I lost one of my feathers" She said slowly.

"What do you mean? Is that something good or bad?" I asked staring at her and she placed the feather on my palm.

"If I'm having signs like this then that means I'm missing my mission and right now I have no idea why I'm here and why I transformed into a human" She explained.

"Losing feathers in birds isn't a good thing but why did you have to pass out when Maga poured water on you or are you allergic to water?" I asked curiously and she chuckled.

"You sound like this is some kind of fairytale. I passed out because I'm allergic to water going into my nostrils and those are one of my features as a bird. Can we go home now? Our outing got ruined" She pouted.

"You should see it in a different light. You've visited some places all thanks to tonight's adventure. Are you hungry?" I asked as I helped her out of the bed.

"I'm so hungry, I missed out the restaurant's delicacies" She said cutely and I smiled.

Why must everything on earth have consequences? We can't even tell what it means for Senorita to lose feathers. I gasped in my mind looking away as we head out of the ER.

"Don't worry about me, I'm pretty sure I will figure things out soon. It's probably no big deal. Losing feathers in birds is normal" Senorita snapped me out of my thoughts.

"You must have been an human in your past life, you know so much" I complimented and she smiled.

"It feels so good to be complimented" She added as we got to the receptionist nurse.

NEXT MORNING...

CASSIE'S POV

I was putting on my jacket about heading out for the office when my doorbell rang.

"Coming" I muttered and got the door.

To my surprise it's Mum and Dad.

"Mum, Dad, what are you both doing here?" I asked curiously as they walked in with mean looks on their faces.

"Cassie come sit with us. We've got a lot to talk about" Dad said seriously as they sat on the sofa.

"OK I'm coming" I stuttered then locked my door and walked to them.

"Cassie what are your plans with Angelo?" Mum asked looking at me.

"I don't get you mum. What plans are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"Have you forgotten the promise you made to us when the both of you visited a year ago?" Dad asked staring at me with all seriousness.

"Did we make any promises to you?" I asked not getting anything they're saying.

FLASHBACK*** "Father, mother, Cassie and I will make sure to fulfill your dreams and hopes for us. I will take full responsibility of Cassie, I will always be next to her so don't worry" Angelo said as he raised his glass of beer up.*** FLASHBACK ENDS.

"Dad, Mum, Angelo didn't promise anything other than been next to me and he has always been next to me so what are you both implying? Can you make it snappy, I will be late for work " I reminded.

"Let's stop beating round the bush and go straight to the point. When is Angelo planning on taking full responsibility of you?" Father asked and I laughed out after hearing his statement.

"Don't tell me the both of you traveled all the way from Incheon to come say this to me. You're not talking about marriage right?" I asked still laughing.

"What's so funny about what we're talking discussing? Cassie you should never forget the type of family you came out from. You need to get married soon" Mum said seriously and I frowned.

"Mum I'm only 26. Why would I be thinking of marriage at this young age. There's no such plan called marriage in my plans of plans so cut it. I'm running late" I said seriously.

"Cassie you will be turning 27 at the end of this year. If you're trying to cover up for Angelo because he's not ready then forget about him, I've set up blind dates for you" Dad said.

"Dad we're in the 21 century for goodness sake. Women my age only concentrate on their career and that's exactly what I'm doing. You don't expect me to end up with some loser" I shrugged.

"You either speak to Angelo about your marriage or go to the blind dates I've set for you. I have no idea what you're doing with your pretty face, you can't even pin a guy with that. Honey let's go" Dad said seriously and he stood up.

"We will be waiting for your call and you know how impatient your dad and I can be" Mum said seriously and they left.

"Like what the heck. I can't believe my life have gotten to this climax for my parent to force me into going for blind dates and who the hell told them Angelo and I have a thing. We're just best friends" I gasped out frustratedly and picked my handbag.

I got to the office and couldn't get my eyes off Angelo's office as I watched him work so hard.

"Cassie, you're not allowed to look at Angelo in that way. Don't forget you're his best friend" Princess whispered in my ear from behind and I put myself back together.

How do I say it to Angelo? He hates the ideas of dating already, how do I say it out to him? I'm not trying to act desperate but I can't ask anyone else to do it for me, he's my only option. I muttered in my mind and picked up my phone.

"Are you busy? I want to have a word with you" I texted and he replied immediately.

"Alright, there's nothing as important as you. I'm always at your service" He texted back and I swiftly ran to his office.

"Angelo can I treat you out for dinner tonight?" I asked nervously and he laughed.

"You would never ask me out without a reason and your reasons are always dangerous ones. I don't want to get blown up at the dinner or choke on the food so spill it out, I'm listening" He said smiling.

"Angelo can you pretend to be my fiance tonight?" I requested with my eyes closed.

"Cassie did you forget your balls at home?" He gasped coldly.

"Don't joke around, I'm serious as dead so please can you?" I asked holding his hand and he jerked it off.

"Cassie have you lost your mind? You know so well how I hate dating or pretending to be in one so why are you doing this? Are you trying to make our friendship an awkward one" He gasped swiftly.

"I know exactly how you feel but I'm in a tight situation right now" I said slowly.

"No Cassie, I can't pretend to be your fiancee" He said seriously.
