Chapter 3 The anniversary.

Finn took Angel to his room and made her sit on the bed. He took off his clothes and entered the bathroom first. After some minutes he came out all dressed up.

"Have you eaten?" Finn asked

"No" Angel replied.

"Lets go and eat" Finn said taking her hand.

"There is no food. Mom trashed the food I made" Angel said sadly.

"I'll watch you make another one for us" Finn said taking her to the kitchen.

"What should I cook?" Angel said as they entered the kitchen.

"Anything is fine. Maybe noodles since it will be faster" Finn said and Angel smiled.

"Noodles it is then" Angel said and got to work while Finn sat on the counter watching her cook.

"That reminds me, Finn, my friend has a crush on you" Angel said

"Friend? Which friend?" Finn asked

"My friend at work" Angel replied

"You already made friends. That's good. Be careful anyways" Finn said

"I will be careful bro. You haven't said anything about my friend that has a crush on you" Angel said

"I'm taken" Finn said

"Taken? By who? Because the last time I checked, you were single" Angel said and Finn chuckled

"You remember, Cara?" Finn asked

"Ava's friend?" Angel asked and Finn nodded.

"I know what you are thinking, Angel, but don't worry your pretty head. She won't trouble you" Finn assured her and she nodded

"Its just that they say that birds of the same feathers flocks together" Angel said

"What are you trying to say?" Finn asked

"The spirit working inside Ava might possess her one day, don't you think?" Angel asked and Finn flicked her forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts" Angel whines and Finn smiled

"Its not a must they will have the same character" Finn said and Angel rolled her eyes.

"You wont change your mind about her anyway. The heart wants what is wants so what should I do?" Angel said concentrating on her food

"Don't think too much about it. What about your boyfriend? I hope you both are still together" Finn said and Angel nodded with a smile.

"I know that smile. Give me the details" Finn said and Angel's smile grew wider.

"There is nothing to say. We only had our first kiss" Angel said blushing and Finn burst out laughing

"A simple kiss is making you blush. Angel you are unbelievable. Don't let this boy play with your heart because the rate at which you are going about him, I wonder if he is into you that much" Finn said and Angel frowned.

"You are such a mood spoiler" Angel said.

"I wonder when he is going to propose" Finn said and Angel laughed.

They finished up with their cooking, ate and retired to bed.

Eunice went back to her room after seeing Finn and Angel together. No doubt she was angry with how close they were and no one dares get on Finn's bad side. They all know how he can be when he get angry.

An angry Finn is what you wouldn't want to encounter on a normal day. His anger is scary.

'So this girl wants to turn my son against me. It won't working' Eunice thought

*FEW DAYS LATER*

Working at the hotel and being a slave at home has not been easy on Angel but just as she promised herself, she hoped it will get better one day. She has been managing to survive.

She has her friends to cheer her up at work and her brother to cheer her up at home.

She takes her job seriously and gives no room for jokes. She needs to be free from her hellish family so she is working really hard to save up in order to move out of the house, tho she has never told anyone about her plans. Not even Finn. She knew that Finn would try to stop her and she can't say no to him. It would hurt him if she leaves.

"I'm nervous" Angel said rubbing her palms together.

It's the first day of the hotel's anniversary and their duties has been shared to them. Angel and Luna were to serve at the VIP. She was sad that Winnie and Yvonne got their task at the general hall.

How was she going to cope, even Luna herself was close to tears. They were both helpless.

The last time they held this anniversary, those that served at the ViP lost their jobs and they don't want to loose their jobs especially Angel that just got the job.

"I feel like the ground should open and swallow me. I just want to disappear" Luna said pacing around.

"You girls should calm down. Nothing is going to happen" Yvonne said rubbing Angel's shoulder.

"I believe we can do this" Winnie said trying to encourage them.

"I am really nervous. What if I feign sickness and go home, won't that be better than loosing my job" Angel said

"Don't even think of that, they will know that you are lying" Winnie said.

"I don't even know how to act once I get in there. Its almost time" Luna said.

Their senior walked in to announce to them that everyone should go to their duty post.

Angel looked at her time and her eyes widened.

7:30pm!

'How would she get home after the party?'

She didn't even know if Finn was going to be among the VIP members. All she knew was that he was going to come. But if she get home, how would she explain that she was coming directly from work?

God save me!

Angel and Luna carried a tray containing some glasses of wine and walked into the VIP hall and Angel wowed at the interior décor. Everything in here screams luxury. She could bet that billions was spent here to get the VIP space to become this fine.

Her mood lightened immediately she spotted a familiar face. Her prince in shining armor.

Luke!

He was with some men whom Angel assumed to be either business partners or friends.

'What If he doesn't recognize me?' Angel thought.

She stared around at the ladies and gentlemen in the room and she felt so off among them despite being here as a worker.

Their dressing alone radiates money. They were all dressed in expensive outfits, both the men and women. Their colognes and perfumes could last for a whole month. It must have cost them a fortune.

'Poverty is a disease' but wait she is from a rich family too only that they don't treat her as part of them.

"You are staring too much" Luna whispered into her ears on their way to get the more wine for the guest.

"You noticed?" Angel whispered back and Luna nodded.

"I wonder if the boss is here too" Angel said.

"Do you want to see the boss that much? Anyways the boss we all know is here. The father of the boss. He is the boss we know" Luna said when they were out.

"Oh! I saw him again. Seeing him for the second time, I think he became more handsome" Angel said

"Your boyfriend?" Luna asked

"No" Angel answered with a smile

"Then who?" Luna asked

"Luke. The one that nearly ran me over the other day" Angel said dreamily

"What about your boyfriend because you are blushing right now just by talking about this Luke guy"

"I have a boyfriend and so? Can't I have a crush on someone else? Its just an innocent crush, okay. Let's say he is my celebrity crush" Angel said blushing heavily.

"Are you sure you are okay. You think this your crush will ever know that you exist. He is up there and you are down here" Luna said demonstrating with her hand and Angel rolled her eyes.

"You are such a kill joy" Angel said walking off

"Wait up, miss celebrity crush" Luna said running after her.

They got the wine and went back to the VIP section walking confidently.

They were both smiling as they passed the drinks around until Angel bumped into someone and the drink spilled on his expensive cloth.

Luna's eyes and mouth opened on their own refusing to close the moment she heard the breaking of glass. She needs no soothsayer to tell her that Angel has done something clumsy.

Angel immediately fell on the floor and passed out.
