Heaven's Gift: CH. 6

"Phil? Do I remind you of your old girlfriend?" I whispered.

The question shocked him. He coughed and then spoke, "Yes you do. Did Rose, the head angel talked to you?"

"Yeah, that's why I been asleep. We talked about certain things." I said.

"Oh, what's all she said." he carefully said.

"I rather not say." I replied and looked out the window.

We started to drive away and I shut my mind off. Suddenly Phil said something.

"Don't worry, I know where you live." he said.

Five minutes later we reached my house. I unbuckled my seat belt and rushed out of the truck. Tears streamed out of my eyes. Then I got into the house and sat on the couch. The door opened and Phil came walking in. He sat beside me and held me close to him.

"You can tell me what's wrong. Don't have to hold things back because of me." he said and rubbing my arms.

"You only have a week to win my heart. See, I like you, but it's hard to love someone; especially me. My record can prove it." I sniffled.

"Don't worry. A week can prove a lot." he smirked.

My heart paced up. I know I have feelings for him, but it's hard to express them.

Suddenly the door opened and my father came in.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

"A friend. Amanda's sick and I took her home. She needs rest." Phil smirked. "I better leave. See ya tomorrow at school." then he left.

A few minutes passed and my dad blew. "You know better than go home with others. Including missing school, I'm disappointed." he strongly said.

I tried to hold back tears, but they came. "I don't care what you think anymore! You want the best for me, but I want the best for myself." I shouted. Then I ran back to my bedroom and locked the door. "And," I took a deep breath, "I hate you!" I yelled. "And the family too!"

Dad didn't say anything. He must've marched back to his bedroom. Suddenly something tapped on my window. I walked over and saw Phil standing there. I opened the windows, and he came through.

"Oh," he held me. "Let me take you away." then we slipped through the window.

We walked until I broke down again. This time Phil picked me up and started to walk some more. Eventually he stopped and sat me down on the bench.

"Amanda, calm down. I don't want to see a panic attack." Phil softly said. :You're far away from your dad."

"You're the bravest guy I know." I breathed deeply. "Talked to my dad like a normal person."

"I faced pretty much anything; including death. I'm not afraid of anything except of losing you." he whispered. He took my hand and looked into my eyes. It felt like he took my heart away.

I stared back and we kissed. This kiss felt different from the others. I closed my eyes and we separated. "Phil," I opened my eyes and tears streamed down my cheeks, "I love you!" I smiled.

Phil gave me a huge hug and the head angel, Rose appeared in front of us.

"Phil, you fulfilled Amanda's wish. So you'll become human once again." she smiled.

"Thanks, Rose." Phil smiled.

"I haven't seen you smile before. I'm glad you found someone." Rose said. "Amanda, you are a lucky woman to have Phil. I need to fulfill more wishes, so good luck with your romance." then Rose disappeared.

I cuddled next to Phil and we kissed again. Our fingers intertwined together; I know Phil's my soulmate.

"Phil, we better go back." I said.

"Yeah, better off. At least we're together." he smiled.
