Chapter 2
Angelina rushed through the door at 5:45 to hear the phone ringing off the hook. "Hello." Angelina said sounding out of breath. "Angelina, dear, this is Mrs. Williams, from next door. I have two envelopes here that were delivered to me instead of you. I have been trying to reach you for a week now." A sweet voice came out form the other end of the line.
"Thanks Mrs. Williams. I'll be by in a few minutes to get them. I'm very sorry or the trouble you went through. Bye." Angelina said. "Well Chester, what did the post man bring me today." Angelina asked her tabby cat as she fed him his dinner.
Five Minutes Later......
"Thanks Mrs. Williams. Let me know if you need anything." Angelina remarked as the elderly lady closed the door behind her. Angelina looked at the envelopes, her neighbor had given her, the envelopes looked like the one she opened the evening before. She started to rip open the first envelope but stopped. "Alicia and Katie will be here in a little while, Chess. I want them to be here when I open them." She said to the cat who really was not interested in what she was telling him but the lace on her shoe that was untied.
Two and a half hours later......
"Where are they?" Angelina muttered to herself as she walked aimlessly around her flat. In the two hours that she waited for her friends, Angelina washed all the dished that had accumulated over the week, Wrote a letter to her Grandmother, and even got dressed up to go out that evening. Finally she heard a knock at her door.
"I'm coming," she yelled to the girls or so she thought," Guess what I got another....."
She exclaimed as Fred Weasley looked back at her. "Another what AJ?" he asked with a grin on his face. "Oh nothing, what are you doing here? Al and Katie were coming I thought." She said with a surprised expression on her face. "Well Wood, George and I met them on their way here. So we all agreed to go to the same pub tonight. When Al remembered that they were supposed to get you. But I agreed to walk the block and a half to get you." Fred said as Chester came to see who owned the new voice that was coming from the living room. "Hey Chessie." Fred regarded the cat as he walked to Fred's feet to be patted. "He really likes you. That's strange. He usually nasty to strangers." Angelina said with surprise. "Well if I remember correctly he and I had an agreement when I got him that he would be nice to me." Fred gave his response as Angelina as she put on her coat. "That's right, you got him for me didn't you." She said as she slipped the envelopes into her pocket discreetly. "We
better go or they will think we are lost." Angelina told him as she grabbed her keys and they left the flat.
At McGinty's Pub......
"AJ, we were getting worried. Was he lost again." George asked, with his speech a wee bit slurred, Angelina as she and Fred approached the table where their friends were sitting. "Hitting the bottle a little early George." Angelina said as she and Fred pulled up chairs. "What can I get you?" asked a waiter with an Irish Accent. "I'll have an Ale." Fred responded. "A screwdriver, please." Angelina said as the waiter nodded to Katie who was desperately trying to get his attention. "What can I get you miss?" he asked Katie. "Your phone number." She responded as if she was ordering a drink. "Um... I'll be right back with the drinks." He said quickly while he retreated. "Katie! That's the third waiter tonight." Alicia exclaimed, "What were you thinking? Or are you thinking?" "Well Beth, the girl I work, with and I have a bet to see who can go through the most waiters in one night. If I win, I get next Friday off." The group laughed as the waiter came back and served Fred and
Angelina their drinks and then ran away quickly.
"Since Kate's obviously drunk. Will you come to the bathroom in 3 minutes? I got two more packages." Angelina whispered to Alicia, as the boys and Katie discussed their upcoming quidditch game. "Yeah." Alicia responded as Angelina excused herself.
Five minutes later......
"Well where is it?" Alicia asked sounding very impatient. "Here in my pocket. I slipped them in when Fred was patting Chester. There is two." Angelina said as she remove the envelopes from her pocket and opened the first one. "What does it say?" Alicia asked impatiently as Angelina slowly read the note. "It's really sweet. It says:
Dear my Angel,
I drop this note with a song that always reminds me of the love that I still have for you. I wish I had the courage to tell you to your face, but I am afraid my love will go unrequited. So like the song says "I'm chasing after you." I am a coward. I hope that someday I have the bravery to tell you.
Love Always
Your Secret Admirer
"Oh that's sappy." Alicia retorted. "Oh well I'll open the other later, we really should get Katie home. She more than drunk, she is trashed." Angelina said as they left the ladies room.
"Where's everyone?" Alicia asked George when she and Angelina approached the table. "Wood and Fred took Katie outside. She looked like she was going to be sick. I said I would wait here for you to come back." He responded as he stood up and handed the girls their coats. "Are they wait for us?" Alicia asked looking around or the waiters Katie harassed to apologize for her friend's behavior.
After apologizing to the staff for Katie weird behavior, and found Wood and Fred with Katie, in a park a block away. "You OK Kate." Angelina asked as Katie proceeded to barf all over the ground in front of her. "I'll never touch another drink for as long as I live." Katie said when she straightened herself up a bit.
"Well we should be going. Practise tomorrow at 6:30." Wood said to get a surprised look from every one but Katie, who had a pained look on her face. "Just kidding. I'm sorry, I wanted to see the look on Katie's face. How are you guys getting home?" Wood said as the group gave a collective sigh of relief. "I live a block from here and by the looks of it Katie is staying at my house. So if one of you fine young men will help me get her home and the others can make sure Al gets home safely." Angelina said as she took control and delegated out what had to be done. "OK George you and I will take Al home, Fred you take AJ and the drunk to AJ' s flat. We will meet you in an hour here to go back to Hogsmeade." Wood said as Fred and George picked Katie up off of a park bench. "See you in an hour." Fred said as he and Angelina led Katie to the flat.
Angelina' s Flat twenty minutes later...
"Wow that walk didn't seem that long on the way there!" Fred said as he and Angelina dragged Katie through the door into Angelina' s living room. "I know it only took a few minutes earlier. But now we had to drag the tonight' s town drunk to navigate in and out of the way of people. Well thank you I should be fine from here on in. She'll climb on to the couch and pass out. In the morning I'll give her a cup of coffee and shove her out the door. Just in time to meet Jay for some roller blading." Angelina said as Fred helps Katie on to the couch and she got a blanket and a pillow from the closet. " Whose Jay?" Fred asked making conversation. "Jay is my sister's husband. She hates anything sportsy and he loves it so go with him once a month and go blading or running or something along those lines. It's usually a great day." She explained as Katie muttered something about winning and drifted off to sleep. "Well I'll be going talk to you tomorrow. Night AJ." Fred said as Angelina
shut the door and locked it behind him.
Angelina went to her coat pocket and removed the opened and the unopened envelopes, she placed the CD from the first note in the CD player and pressed play and heard:
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm tapping into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm tapping into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you
"That is so beautiful to think some one thinks that way about me. Right, Chessie?" Angelina asked the cat who wonder sleepily into the room. Well let's open the other one. Angelina reached for the unopened envelope and tore it open. A note and a new CD fell out. Angelina picked up the note and read:
My Beautiful Angelina,
This song reflects what made me fall in love with you. These things and many more showed me what you mean to me. I Love You, Angelina Marie. Until I have the courage to say that to your face.
Your Secret Admirer
After trying to recall how many of her boyfriend found out her middle name, Angelina reached over to her stereo and replaced the CD in the machine with the one in her hand and pressed play. She heard an unfamiliar tune:
ONCE I THOUGHT THAT LOVE WAS SOMETHING I COULD NEVER DO
NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD FEEL THIS MUCH
BUT THIS YEARNING IN THE DEEP PART OF MY HEART FOR YOU
IS MORE THAN A REACTION TO YOUR TOUCH
IT'S A PERFECT PASSION
AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH
THE WAY YOU LOOK
THE WAY YOU LAUGH
THE WAY YOU LOVE WITH ALL YOU HAVE
THERE AIN'T NOTHIN `BOUT YOU THAT DON'T DO SOMETHING FOR ME
THE WAY YOU KISS
THE WAY YOU CRY
THE WAY YOU MOVE WHEN YOU WALK BY
THERE AIN'T NOTHING `BOUT YOU THAT DON'T DO SOMETHING FOR ME
IN MY LIFE I'VE BEEN HAMMERED BY SOME HEAVY BLOWS
THAT NEVER KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SMILE AT ME AND DOWN I GO
AND BABY, IT'S NO MYSTERY
WHY I SURRENDER
GIRL, YOU GOT EVERYTHING
REPEAT CHORUS
I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE
YOUR ROSE TATTOO
YOUR EVERY THOUGHT
YOUR SMILE
YOUR LIPS
AND GIRL THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON
REPEAT CHORUS
THE WAY YOU LOOK
THE WAY YOU LAUGH
THE WAY YOU LOVE WITH ALL YOU HAVE
YOUR DANCE
YOUR DRIVE
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
THE WAY YOU TALK
THE WAY YOU TEASE
BY NOW I THINK YOU SEE
THERE AIN'T NOTHIN `BOUT YOU
THAT DON'T DO SOMETHING FOR ME
Angelina then sat and wondered who knew about the tattoo. Only a handful of people knew about the tattoo she had on her left hip. But a smaller handful of ex-boyfriends knew about it. Well, she decided, Al, Katie and I will have to sit down and figure out which former boyfriend it was sending me the flattering notes but for now to bed for me.
