Falling Angels

Claire's POV
We had been silently cuddling for hours. For some reason, we really liked to stroke each other. I know it sounds weird, but it was really comforting. Whenever one of us would stop caressing, the other would pick up where we left off. Finally, Andy said something. "Jinxx will begin to teach you how to play the violin today." My ear was pressed against his chest and I could feel his body slightly vibrate as he spoke. I loved the slightly muffled sound of his voice. "I can't wait. But I wanna stay in bed cuddling forever." I pouted. He began to play with my hair with the arm that wasn't wrapped around me. "Well..." He said as if he had a secret. "Well, what?" I urged him on. He had my full attention now. I looked into his icy blue eyes. His eyes reminded me of the eyes of a husky dog. A smile spread across his face. "If it wouldn't bother you..." He continued to tease. I playfully punched him. "Tell me." I commanded him. His expression grew serious and slightly concerned. I waited in silent, nervous anticipation. As if he was asking the most important question in the world, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can I take you to Hot Topic?" It was his turn to wait. I considered his proposition. He made me feel so loved and so precious and worthy. I wouldn't mind if he took me to Hot Topic, not at all. I'd love to go with him, but I would still pay. "Of course, silly." I reassured him. I smiled to dissolve the tension. It worked and he let out a sigh of relief. I didn't blame him for being nervous about asking me such a simple question because I had quite an episode last time. "Good. I'm glad you want to go with me." He said, and I knew he meant it. "But I'm still paying." I interjected. "Claire." He groaned. "My best gentleman shall not have to pay." I said in my proper British accent. "Milady does not need to pay. I have sufficient funds to sustain you and buy you the clothing garments and band merch of your choosing." I laughed at his poor attempt at a British accent. "Oh, how can I ever repay you?" I asked, playing along. "Milady does not need to repay me. Tis an honor to accompany milady on her shopping excursions and buy her things." I tried to come up with a counter argument, but I couldn't. He was being so sweet to me. Just this once, I would let him pay. "Fine." I surrendered in my normal voice. He let out a whoop of victory and swept me out of bed with him. "Let's get ready." He said, suddenly excited.
