When we are happy

Chapter 9: Angel

My friends laugh as Penelope tells a story as she sits watching us all work.

"You're random." Gavin says handing me a cloth i can use to clean this cars motor.

"I like being random. Being boring isn't fun." She giggles.

God, the way she smiles. The way she laughs. It makes me happy.

I don't often feel happy but everytime im with her i feel it. I feel a lot of things. And i couldn't help but smile with her this morning.

"Nice ass." I hear a voice behind me.

I groan and turn around seeing my ex girlfriend, Angel.

She is not a fucking Angel.

"What do you want?" I cross my arms leaning against the car.

"My cars broken down, what do you think, asshole?"

I walk over to her car and pop the bonnet.

"Your radiators hot, needs water on it." I tell her like i do every summer.

"You are such an asshole." I hear Angel following up behind me as i go back to the garage.

I ignore her. I'm so done putting up with her bullshit.

We dated for a 3 months about a year ago. And she's clearly mad at me.

I broke up with her because she was stealing my money.

I ignore her ranting and i go up to the fridge and grab a drink of water. I can feel Penelope watching from beside me as she sits on the small kitchen bench we have out here.

"Who's that?" She asks.

"My ex."

"Oh."

I take a few gulps of my water and then hand it to Peneople, "Drink."

I need to keep her hydrated and fed.

She drinks a few gulps and i take the bottle putting it in the fridge.

"Who's this?" I hear Angel beside me.

I sigh, "Penelope, Angel, Angel, Penelope."

"Hi!" P chirps.

Angel frowns, "Hi?"

"I like your hair." Penelope smiles.
