Falling Into You Chapter One
"So Tess what's our next assignment?" Monica asked.
It was late at night and our angelic trio had just finished a lengthy assignment. Tess got in the driver's seat and Monica and Andrew were in the back. They were very tired, but Monica, as always, was ready to just jump into the next thing.
"I'll tell you in the morning, babies, for now, just go to sleep."
Within an hour or so, Monica and Andrew had fallen asleep in the back of the car. Sam appeared next to Tess.
"Where were you?" She asked. "I've been waiting."
"Relax Tess, you're not the only angel I'm supervising."
"I know Sam, I'm sorry. I guess I'm just nervous about this new assignment."
"You should be. Well, actually, they should be." He whispered, turning around to look at Andrew and Monica.
The two were sleeping soundly. Monica lye on Andrew's chest and his arm was around her waist in a protective sort of way.
"Well." Sam remarked. "It's a good thing they're so close."
"Yes, it is." Tess replied dryly.
"You're not happy about this, are you Tess?"
"No. This could change everything, and, above all, I just don't want my angel babies getting hurt."
"I know you don't, and they won't. This is the Father's plan after all."
"Now Sam, I don't mean to be blunt, but…."
"But what?"
"I know the Father doesn't make mistakes. But we do. Is it possible that you misheard what he was telling you? Maybe this is what is supposed to happen to our assignments."
"No Tess. I heard him perfectly."
"Okay. Just tell me what this is again, and I'll leave you alone about it."
"Well, I doubt you'll leave me alone because they have a rough road ahead and we're going to be watching them for the next two weeks."
"Fine then, just tell me what it is that they have to do."
"Andrew has two weeks to make Monica fall in love with him."
"Look at them, that should be easy. They love each other already."
"Tess, do you understand what I mean by fall in love?"
"Yes. And I don't like it. But refresh my memory."
"They need to acquire a human kind of love. A romantic kind of love."
"Does this include kissing and hugging and other things that we don't necessarily want to talk about?"
"Yes. But mostly it includes pure love."
"They have pure love."
"They need pure love that comes not just from their hearts, but also, from the depths of their souls. They need a love that is different from what they have, stronger than what they have."
"We're not telling them any of this, right?"
"Right. That would spoil everything, and pressure them into love. We do have something to start with though."
"And what's that?"
"A certain angel boy just happens to have a certain crush on a certain angel girl."
"He does?"
"Yes. He has had, the human kind, since the very second he laid eyes on her."
"Sam, I see what's going to happen, and I can hardly believe that it's only going to take too weeks. There's just one thing that I'm afraid of."
"What's that?"
"If I know my angel babies like I think I do, they won't let themselves fall in love. They know that it's forbidden for them."
"Tess, don't worry about that. That little issue will take care of its self in time."
"Okay, where are they going anyway? What do I say to them?"
"They have their own private island, just tell them that they have an assignment there. Don't worry about anything else. What needs to happen will happen."
"Okay."
"I'll see you later Tess." He smiled as he disappeared.
Tess turned around and looked at her angel babies as she stopped the car. They looked so sweet together. She guessed that was a good thing. No matter what good things the Father had planned for them in this, Tess did not want to give her babies this assignment.
"Wake-up babies, wake-up." She said to them. Monica stirred in her sleep but didn't wake-up. Andrew opened his eyes.
"Hi Tess." He smiled.
"Hi sweetheart."
"Come on, angel girl." He said, lifting Monica off of him. She slowly woke-up.
"Need mocha latte." She mumbled.
"We know you do, angel girl." Andrew smiled at her.
"We need to get started as early as possible, angel babies."
"With our new assignment?" Monica asked, finally opening her eyes.
"Yes." Tess said as they appeared on the island.
"You have an assignment here."
"What's it about?"
"That's something you'll need to figure out for yourselves." She said as she kissed Monica on the forehead. "See you in two weeks sweethearts." She promptly disappeared.
"I wonder where she went off to."
"I wonder what we have to do here."
"What ever it is. Let's just enjoy our selves until we find out." He took her hand and he kissed it She slipped her shoes off and left them in the sand. He took her hand in his own, and together, they walked on the shoreline.
