guardian angel
for you jo (:It helps to know that when you’re falling, there’s someone at the bottom ready to catch you. Life is for living, but it helps to know that there will always be someone there for you, like a guardian angel.
As the waves crashed onto the shore, the sky was painted in deep reds and oranges by the dying rays of the sun. His arms encircled her protectively, as they gazed at the sky. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she snuggled into his embrace.
Amy stared at her computer screen, willing it to give her the answers she needed. Her frustration mounted every time she clicked on a website that she appeared on her search engine page. This guardian angel topic was really starting to irritate her.
Frustrated and tired of searching, she shut down her lap top and closed her eyes. Exhaustion from the countless nights of little sleep made her drift off the minute she closed her eyes. “I’ll continue tomorrow” she thought to herself.
As light flittered in through her window, Amy blinked against the glare of the sun and winced when she saw the time on her digital alarm clock, she was definitely going to be late. After throwing everything she needed for her class that day into her bag, she stepped into the bathroom to wash up and change.
On her journey to church, Amy tried her best to come up with a brilliant plan to save her lesson, after a few failed attempts of thinking of anything. She decided to put her hope in Cade; after all he always had a backup plan to everything. This included travelling routes, if he can have more than two backup plans for that than he certainly could plan the lesson. At least she hoped so.
Cade, Amy’s co- catechist was one of those people you could depend on, and know nothing would go wrong with them there. When she first met him, she thought of him as one of those extinct species of the opposite sex. The fact that he was willingly to teach young children and claimed to love them really did not help him much. But after they started spending more time with each other, she realized he really was just like any other male species other than being more gentlemanly, he was your normal everyday guy.
‘It really was to his advantage that he wasn’t that bad looking either.’ Amy mused. As she watched Cade help the children make their own guardian angels. Pondering on her thoughts earlier on about him, as the children got carried away with their art and craft lesson. Honestly, she had not meant for the lesson to turn out this way, but she was ill-prepared and he had a fully crafted plan. What could she say?
Besides, it was nice to let someone else be in charge. “Miss Amy,” a voice called, breaking into her thoughts. Amy smiled and looked at her student, Lily. “I wish I had a special guardian angel, like you.” Lily told her teacher, her blue eyes filled with longing. Amy looked down at her seven-year-old student in surprise and curiosity and asked “why do I have a special guardian angel?”
Lily looked at her teacher in surprise, “because you can see your guardian angel, we can’t!” Amy looked at Lily in confusion and amusement “Who is my guardian angel then?” She asked. Lily’s eyes lit up with excitement as she dragged her teacher to her other teacher and proclaimed “he is!” pointing at Cade, “Mr. Cade is your guardian angel! You told us that guardian angels protect us from harm and are always there for us! Just like Mr. Cade!”
Amy looked at Cade in embarrassment as the class of students after hearing Lily’s statement clamored around the trio supporting Lily’s statement. “Children, don’t you want to finish your guardian angels and show them to your parents?” Cade told the children and instantly all of them were back on their seats and concentrating on their art pieces.
As they watched the children leave, each holding their carefully crafted “guardian angels” Amy could not help glancing at Cade. Their eyes met, and she just couldn’t look away, “his eyes are captivating” she thought to herself. A sneaky glance became a gaze, and somehow the distance between them closed up as their hands found each other and their fingers entwined together.
The beauty of the night sky, stars splashed over a midnight blue sky dazzled them, as they gazed at it comfortably from the ground, snug in each other’s embrace. Cade gently tilted Amy’s face upwards and his lips brushed against hers. A little girl with blue eyes looked at them from a distance, smiling sneakily before disappearing in an aura of white light.
Funny how such an innocent comment from one little girl could make such a difference. After all what are guardian angels for?
