Chapter 4

Monica awoke with sun peering through her window, she smiled feeling the warm light hitting her face. She sits up on her bed and pulls a small blanket over her shoulders as she places her small feet on the soft whit carpet. Monica wanted to feel the sun on her skin so she walks out of her bedroom, and strolls to her apartment slider door in her small living room, and opens it up to stand on her small balcony.

She places her bare feet on the cool wood of the white balcony that over looked a small park. There were dew drops of water on the grass 10 feet below, as well some formed on the railing of the balcony. Monica smiled as she closes her eyes, to feel the warm light hit her face, as she felt God's love passing through her body and touching her spirit. She may not be an angel anymore, but she can still feel his holy presences and hear his voice calling to her spirit. Monica can't hear his voice as strongly anymore since she was an angel, but she knows that her heart is always listening to his call.

Monica stayed out on the balcony for about 30 minutes then she strolls back into her apartment to figure out what to do for the remaining part of her day, before her big date with Griffin….every time Monica says his name on her tongue she couldn't help but to smile. She loves him so much that it actually was driving Monica crazy. If she could she would spend all day wrapped up in Griffin's arms and never letting go.

Monica pushes her romance feelings aside, and focus on what job to go for. Now that she is living she has to make an income of some kind to pay for the rent. Monica loves children, and had several experience with being a teacher. She really loves to teach high school, and one of her favorite subjects was English. She knows that she has to take a course at a local college to get her teaching degree, but that will be later. Monica really wanted to teach Juniors and Seniors because also she is really good at counseling people too.

Monica made her morning coffee, and for the next hour and a half she has been looking at the paper deciding on where to look for school teaching jobs. She found a high school is looking for a part time teacher right here in Gracie. The high school was called Wilson High. Monica looked at the ad and it stated now hiring. She smiles to herself and thought to give it a try. Monica looked at herself and she knows that she needs a shower.

Monica was still somewhat new to the human world and she thumbles through her bathroom cupboards to find some shampoo and soap to wash herself with. Monica turns on the shower and heard the spray of water hitting the shower curtain. Monica chose the right temperature of water to have her shower. She slowly takes off her robe, and gently stripes out of her pajamas and for once she felt uncertain about being naked. She gave a nervous smile and steps into the pool of running water. She smiled as the warm water hit her toes, and she slowly puts the rest her body under the fountain of water that was flowing down. She smiled as the warm liquid hit her face and it drenched her hair. This was Monica's first shower as a human, and she felt relax as she let the water pour through her skin and cleansing it, making it pure.

It took Monica about a good 45 minutes to take a nice hot long shower to clean herself and just to feel the warmness of the water soaking her body. Finally Monica gets out of the shower, and dries herself off. She warps her light pink robe around her small body, as the steam from her shower fogged up the bathroom mirror clouding her image. She places the towel around her head to somewhat dry off her short reddish brown hair. Monica then goes to her room to select the outfit to wear to get the job offer.

Monica soon got dress and blow dries her hair as she styles it with her brush. She smiles at the new woman looking at her in the mirror. She had to admit that she looked really sexy and beautiful. Then she left her room and grabbed her coat and Tess's car keys and turns to leave her home for the day to find a job.

………………………………………

Griffin was up early and for once had a smile on his face. He finally got Monica back in his life again and was shock to have her as a human. She gave up her eternal life existence just to be with him and his daughter. And Griffin prayed about it for weeks to have Monica in his arms again. This morning he actually stepped out onto his porch and looked to the heavens to thank God for her. She was everything to him, and he wanted Monica to know that. Griffin didn't know what Monica done, but he now is taking small steps to actually trust God on his blind faith.

It was a somewhat cool morning but Griffin didn't mind the coolness. It was the middle of March, and Griffin loves the weather of spring and summer. Griffin sits on the swing and rocks back and forth thinking of Monica's lovely smile shinning so brightly in his eyes. Just then he heard the screen door shake as little Sarah comes out onto the porch.

"Morning." Sarah said with a bit of happiness in her voice.

"Morning to you too, pumpkin." Griffin smiled as he scooted over for his little girl to sit beside him.

"So…I how are you feeling?" Sarah asked playing dumb upon what she saw last night.

"I'm feeling okay…you." Griffin stated taking a sip of his coffee.

"I'm fine." Sarah smiles with a glee in her.

Griffin soon caught onto it, "Okay Sarah what is it?"

"What's what?" Sarah still acting dumb.

"Why your acting this way? Is something you want to share?" Griffin asked facing his daughter.

"Nothing…Why didn't you tell me that Monica is back?" Sarah asked letting go of her happiness.

"I was going to tell you….I didn't know that she had come back when I saw her last night, and things well kind of got out of hand." Griffin confessed. Then Griffin looked at his daughter and she was laughing and giggling. "What's so funny?"

Sarah took a moment to pull herself together before she spoke, "I saw you two kissing last night, before she left. Dad you are such a sucker for her. You two are so in love with each other, that I just made my night. I'm happy for you daddy…really I am."

Griffin smiled to that, and pulled his daughter into a hug, "You were suppose to be asleep."

"I heard laughter, and then Monica's accent and I knew that is not the same person you left with. And I don't like you and Sandy together. Monica is your love. Not Sandy." Sarah stated.

Griffin looked at his daughter, "So you don't approve of me dating Sandy huh?" Sarah just nods in agreement.

"You and Monica belong together. She completes us daddy. And she changed you for the better. The last past week when you were with Sandy, you begin to slip into your old self. I love you dad, you know that, but when you were with her you just….felt like a stone cold person again." Sarah admitted.

Griffin looked at his daughter at that moment, and realizes that Sarah was right. Monica did change him for the better, and now that she is back he felt a new man. Griffin softly stated, "Well…I'm not dating Sandy anymore. I'm now am officially dating Monica now. Our first date is tonight…and no you cannot come."

Sarah gave a sour look as well as a snort, "Like I want to join you two. Dad you need time with her, and face it, you two act like love struck teens. No thanks I will past. But I'm happy for you…and Dad…don't be too much of yourself, and try not to go over board of making out with her. You don't want to scar her away."

Griffin laughed at his daughter to that and Sarah quickly joined in, "Okay I won't…thanks sweetheart for some 'pre teen' advice."

Sarah smiles back, "you're welcome dad." Sarah than asks her father the question she had been trying to ask for the past 4 months, "Dad….are you thinking about marrying Monica?"

"What?" Griffin looks into his daughter's eyes.

"You know getting down on one knee, taking Monica's hand in marriage?" Sarah explains.

"I know that…it's why all of a sudden you want me to marry her?" Griffin asks his daughter.

"Because…you love her dad. I haven't seen you look at another woman since mom left us. And you didn't even had the same love with mom the way you do with Monica. And well I want her to be my mother…she loves both of us, and I just really desperately want a mom." Sarah confesses.

"Sarah…marriage it takes time. Your mother and I had to take time to build upon our relationship. You just can't marry someone right away when you are in love. And Monica and I haven't even started to date each other. I know that you really want a mother, and I want you to have one. Honestly I don't know what will happen in the future with Monica. But what I do know right now in this point of time that I do love her and I don't know what will happen." Griffin stated.

"But do you at least wonder what it will be like if she was you know your wife, and that you will have more kids?" Sarah asks again.

"Sometimes I do yes. But sweetie we don't need to talk about marriage and having kids.....Monica and I just got back together, and we are working at our relationship. Are you asking me this because you want another sibling to fight over makeup, and cloths with is that it?" Griffin asks trying to understand what Sarah wants.

"Somewhat. I'm asking you that because I want Monica to be my mother, and I also want you to start a family with her. And I just feel so lonely without a brother or a sister." Sarah looks to her father and she saw the light in his eyes.

"You really thought about this haven't you." Griffin looked amazed.

"To tell you the truth I've been wishing and praying to God about this my 6th birthday. After when mom left. I just wanted you to be happy again, and also I wanted a mother. And I know that mom will never come back for me. She made that decision when she bailed out on us. And I can tell that Monica will never run. She loves me and you too much to do so." Sarah pauses and stares at her father. "I'm not saying that mom never loved us, but she also didn't love us either."

"Sarah….she did loved you. I've been holding this in because you were just too little to understand when all of this happened. Just your mother didn't want this life. She didn't want to be married to me, and wanted to live her old wild life before she fell in love with me. I remember the look on Crystal's face when they place you in her arms. She did have a love for you. I don't know what happened and why she chose to walk out of our lives. But that doesn't mean that she never did love you. And it hurts to tell my own child that her mother didn't want to be in this family. Still hurts me to this day." Griffin confessed.

"It's okay daddy. I have you, and that's all that matters. And now I have Monica, who gave up her angel self to be a mother to me, and a lover to you. She came into our lives at the right time when our hearts needed healing from well…" Sarah trailed off.

"Guess God did send a miracle into our lives. Funny how things turn out in God's timing." Griffin chuckles and smiles to his own statement.

Sarah laughs to that, "Yeah and guess who he sent you as your miracle daddy." Griffin just smiled even bigger to Sarah's statement, and she didn't even have to say it. Monica is defiantly Griffin's miracle and he thank God for her to be in his life.

……………………………………………….

Monica stands at the entrance to Wilson High School, and she braces herself to go in. As Monica bounds up the steps to the build she feels a little uncertain about going for a job as a teacher, but she loved kids and wanted to spend time with them as a mentor and to be a guidance in each one of their hearts. Like she had done for so many other teens in her past when she was an angel. Since she fell to earth she wanted to stay connected to her angel side some way. And becoming an English teacher is one way she could do that.

Monica came up to the receptions desk and softly stated, "Ah sir I um….I was wondering if your boss is still hiring any teachers for a job here?"

The man at the desk looks up from his paper work and gazes at Monica. He had a tan face with freckles on his nose and cheeks, and his eyes were chestnut color eyes that glowed when he looked at Monica's breast. He also had sandy brownish hair with little sideburns at the sides of his temples. The man looked up into Monica's eyes and he gave a charming smiled, "She's in a meeting right now, but I sure can take a message for her. Your name is?"

Monica gave a kind smile to him, "Monica, and thanks," she pauses and looks at the name on his receptions desk, "Ted."

Ted blush when she said his name, "So…what is an Irish lady looking for a job here in this school anyways?"

"Oh I always wanted to work with kids, and be a teacher. And I also want to help high school students to figure out where they stand in this world, and how they can make a difference." Monica said.

Ted smiles and leans his back in his chair, "Well I was the head boss I will hair you, but you got to convince her and not me. Otherwise I will place you in with a job here. What subjects were you thinking of teaching?"

"Well….I always loved English, and quite good at it." Monica pointed out.

"Um…well we do have a teacher that is retiring later on this year, and he teaches Junior and Senior s English." Ted smiles. Monica eyes sparkled to that, and she gave a smile back.

"Ted! Will you stop drooling over this woman…don't you have attendance to be looking at?" An African American woman shouted behind Ted. At that Ted bowed his head in shame and strolls over to the file cabinets to pull out the list.

"Sorry about that. Ted is filler in today. I'm Mary the principle here at this school. How can I help you?" Mary introduces herself.

"Monica. I was wonder about the job hiring here?" Monica gave a nervous smile, "But I can come back another day to discuss it."

"No…please come into my office." Mary said. Mary led Monica down to her office and offers a sit to Monica. Monica politely acknowledges it, and sits down facing Mary's front desk. Mary then looked at Monica. "So, Monica….do you have a teaching degree or some sort of experience that you had in the past."

"Well….I did a few substituting jobs at different high schools out in Utah. I also had been a sub in English too." Monica admitting, she was hoping to impress Mary with her job experience as a teacher.

"umm…well Monica, unfortunately I don't have any positions open in English for this moment in time. However next week I'm going to have the school board look at my staff, and we have to make some cuts in some works. I hate to do this, but time is money, and right now the school budget is really tight. I'll look into it, and maybe I'll see if the board will allow you to be hired. Do you have a resume that I can send over?" Mary eyed Monica, and Monica gave a nervous glance.

Then something amazing happened and Monica look in her small brief case and some of her angel friends must have sent it there. Monica smiled and handed her resume to Mary. Mary looked over it and smiles to Monica, "Well I'll call you in a week Monica and set up an interview okay?" Monica smiles and hands Mary her home phone number as well as her cell.

Monica left Mary's office and heads back out to the main office. There she runs into Ted again, and she waves a goodbye to him. It made her laugh when Ted fumbles over his own chair as he watches her leave. As soon as Monica came out of the office she was met by Kerry.

"Monica?" Kerry asks in shock.

Monica turns to face her, "Hi, I was just leaving."

"What…ah…What are you doing here?" Kerry asks.

"Looking for a job, but I don't think they will hire me." Monica sounded a bit disappointed.

"No…What are you doing here? Last time you were here you left and broke Griffin's heart. Why are you back?" Kerry said not sounded please to have Monica back.

Monica looked at Kerry, and thought she would be glad to have her back. Before she disappeared out of plan sight Kerry was starting to become Monica's friend. Now she is acting upon hostile toward her. "Kerry….I didn't mean to do that……just things got complicated with my job, and then falling for Griffin just made it all out of control. I'm sorry that I hurt him, but I'm back and I'm staying."

Kerry still had a glare in her eye, but she softens her look to face Monica, "You know, I thought you were like Crystal, leaving when things got too much for you. When I came to comfort Griffin over his broken heart, I honestly thought that you acted on like his ex-wife. I don't know but there is something about you that makes me believe that your love for him is real."

Monica smile to that, "Well if it makes you feel good, Griffin and I are now dating, and very much in love. I just came here for a job, and making some changes to live my life here. Is everyone mad at me?"

Kerry took a deep breath and then fixed her gaze at Monica, "We are a little mad and disappointed. The whole town thinks you bailed on Griff…because of the responsibility to rise Sarah. But now I heard gossip from a few teachers today saying that they saw you and Griffin passionately kissing each other at Lou's Bar, and the little bitch fight between you and Sandy."

Monica gave a smile to that, and then Kerry joined in, "I didn't mean for that to happen. I was just so pissed at Sandy for trying to break me and Griffin up."

Kerry laughed at that, "Well I thank you for that, because personally, I think you and Griffin are a way better fitting match then Sandy."

Monica smiles, and then she gently said, "Are we friends again?"

Kerry smiles even brighter and nods to that, "As long as you don't vanish like that again and leaving Griffin and Sarah again."

"I don't think that well ever happen. Because I love them both so very much, and it will break my heart to ever be apart from them." Monica admitted.

"Well I got to go, my class starts in like 5 minutes. Nice to see you Monica, and hope you and Griffin enjoy each other. He really loves you. I never see Griffin so in love like he is with you. He never even had that look when he was with Crystal." Kerry said.

Monica smiles to that, "Thanks. I'll keep in touch. Bye." Monica leaves Wilson High School and makes her way to a local college class where she signed up for some college classes to get a teachers degree. Her first class will begin tomorrow at 4. Monica never been in college and she was a bit nervous to do so. But she really wanted a job at Wilson, as an English teacher. She will give up her time with Griffin and Sarah to do it, if necessary.

Monica finishes her day by crashing on her sofa in her apartment and crack open a book to read when she realizes her date. Monica quickly showered, and ran into her room to decide on what outfit to wear. It took Monica about a half hour on the outfit that will catch Griffin's eye. Monica chose a stunning black top that held her female figure and gave her some cleavage to show to. And tight fitting jeans that made her look sexy and slimming. Monica wanted this to be a perfect date, and to give Griffin her love for him. She just finished applying makeup on her face when her door being knocked. Monica forms a smile on her face, and applied some nice scented perfume to her neck as she turns off the bathroom light and heads to the door, where Griffin awaits behind it.

Griffin was a bit nervous to go on a date with Monica, but he also was excited to. His love for her had increased in the past few days since she came back, and all Griffin wanted to do was hold her tight and love her. Griffin wanted this date to be spectacular and he wanted to leave a good impression on Monica afterward.

"All set for you date daddy?" Sarah said poking her face in his bedroom bathroom.

"Still working on it. I need some help on what tie I should where." Griffin admitted.

Sarah rolled eyes as she approach her father's bathroom, "Are you descent?"

"Yes, sweetheart I'm descent." Griffin responded. The next instant Sarah was in the doorway to his small bathroom. Griffin held up a red, black, and blue tie for Sarah to choose from. Sarah looked over each one and held up one to her father's mighty chest.

"Defiantly go with the navy blue…it brings out your eyes. Monica melts whenever she looks into them, so go with that." Sarah smiled.

"How do you know that?" Griffin asks.

"Dad, you are so blind. Whenever Monica stares into your eyes she blushes, and smiles her sexy smile to you. I know these things because I watched to chemistry between you two whenever you think I'm not aware of it. Especially when it came to Christmas, and when we got the tree." Sarah smiled.

"Well…you weren't supposed to know." Griffin smiles back.

"I'm a girl dad, and almost a teen. I sense these things." Sarah snickered.

Griffin finish putting his tie on himself then turns to look at Sarah, "Well…how do I look?"

Sarah giggles as she replies back, "very handsome, dad. Oh…you need to add this." Sarah hands her father a bottle of Axe scented to make her father smell more manly and attractive. "Woman love cologne on men. And well Axe just is your sent. And bring her flowers. Her favorite is pink and white tulips."

"You really thought about this have you," Griffin smiles as he applies a squirt or two of Axe on his chest and neck.

"Yes, and you and Mon need time together to make up. Now come on, you are running late." Sarah ordered.

"Hold on, she's not going anywhere." Griffin stated.

"Yeah well you don't want to be late. You need to impress her, so go to her apartment a bit early so that you can make a good impression on her." Sarah squealed with excitement.

"What about a baby sitter for you?" Griffin asks.

Sarah giggles to that, "Monica set one up. It's one of her 'angel' friends. And she should be arriving right about now."

Just then the door bell rang and Sarah runs out of Griffin's bedroom and ran to the door to greet their guess. Sarah looked onto a white female with burnet hair, and a black frame around her eyes. She must be wearing glasses. She greeted Sarah with a friendly smile, "Hello, and you must be little Sarah that my friend Monica told me so much about."

"Yup…and you are," Sarah asks the strange woman back.

"My name is Gloria, and well I'm your sitter for the night, while um…your father and my friend have a special night together." Gloria said a bit uncomfortable.

"I know…a date." Sarah smiles.

Just then Griffin came into view as he greets Gloria, and looks at this woman, "I'm Griffin."

"I know, Monica told me." Gloria gave a smile to him.

"Words travel fast up in heaven don't they?" Griffin said with a shock.

"A bit yes, but Monica and I go way back. She's my best friend you know." Gloria admitted. "You two have a fun night together, I'll keep watch for you little girl for you. Griffin….you and Monica, are so cute together. She chose the right man to be in love with, and I'm so grateful it was you."

Griffin smiles to that and gave his daughter a hug goodbye, and he winks to Gloria as he softly stated, "I'm glad that she chose me too." And with that he climb into his car and headed for the flower shop to buy a small bouquet of flowers, then he made his way to Monica's apartment.

Once Griffin arrives at Monica apartment building his heart was beating so fast that he couldn't think. He felt like he was 16 all over again and was nervous and happy to go out on a date. Griffin bounds up the steps to her door, which was 2B and stood at her door to take deep small breaths before knocking. Griffin knocked on Monica's door 3 times and a moment or two later he heard some rattling on the door chains as she opens up the door.

……………………………………………

As soon as Monica opens the door Griffin stood there just gazing up and down at her. She gave a shy smile to his response and said very softly, "Hello Griff."

"Hi…wow you look just…" Griffin was speechless and lost all trans of thought when he looked into Monica's sexy brown eyes as she just stares back at him.

"Are those for me?" Monica asks as she eyes the bouquet of flowers in Griffin's arms.

"Yes…Sarah wanted me to buy you some flowers…and….well.." Griffin was at a loss for words when Monica slightly giggles as she came to him, and plants a small tender kiss to his lips.

"You are very charming. And you are so cute when you are nervous." Monica said after their brief moment of kissing each other. Griffin smiles back at her, and hands her the flowers. Monica took them, and held up one figure to Griffin's lips to say, I'll be right back. And with that Monica went into her apartment and places the flowers in a small vase, and turns off her lights, and she grabs her small light, red coat, and leaves her apartment.

Monica faces Griffin again, and turns to lock her home. "So Griff…where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise, you'll see." Griffin smirk as Monica came to him and took her hand in his. Griffin gave Monica's hand a tight squeeze and together they walked to Griffin's car hand and hand.

Griffin took Monica to a fancy restaurant where her eyes just light up when Monica eyed the art texture of the restaurant. She looks into Griffin's eyes, and his blue gaze twinkle with the dim lighting of the restaurant. "Oh…Griffin…this is, it's so beautiful. But really you don't have to do this." Monica insisted.

"I want to…because. I love you, and I want to show you, why I love you. Plus I want this to be perfect. It's not every day I fall in love…with an…" Griffin pauses and he lowered his mouth to Monica's ear and whispered, "angel." Then Griffin slowly pulls back, and Monica gave a lovely smile to him, which made Griffin's heart melt.

"Good evening, Shall I lead you two to a seating area?" The old waiter asks.

"Yes please." Griffin said and he smiles to Monica as the waiter leads to a small room with a blazing fire in a fireplace and candle lit dinner. There were a few other couples there too, but it was very quiet and very private to. Monica gave a shy smile to Griffin as the waiter showed them a table. Monica sat across from Griffin, as they looked at each other through the burning candle stick.

"You really went all out for this didn't you?" Monica asks after settling in.

"Yeah kind of…I just wanted a nice evening out for the both of us, and also because you are just the beautiful and sexy woman I have ever met." Griffin admitted.

Monica stared at him in awe of what Griffin just said, she never had a man called her sexy before, and she love the way Griffin said it. Monica couldn't help but to smile to his comment, and her hand found his and she laces her fingers in with Griffin's. "I…never had that comment before. You really do know how to impress a woman. And Griffin…I find you very sexy too."

Griffin smiles to her words, and he saw for the first time Monica's eyes sparkle up with love. "So what would you like to order, you can have whatever you want."

Monica looked over the menu and she decides on getting grilled chicken with lemon juice glazed on it, with slow cooked rice with special seasoning on it. Monica also ordered some sweet tea for her, and Griffin ordered that same drink. When Monica first tasted her meal it was melt in heaven good, and Monica never thought she be this hungry in her whole life. About halfway in her meal so gazes up at Griffin, "I uh….I never been on a date before, and well I don't know how to act."

Griffin gave a little chuckle and smiles up at her, "You are doing fine. I love your little shyness. It'll will get better later on, the whole date thing. First ones are usually awkward and a bit scary, but when I'm with you, I feel so young and alive. You really touched my heart Mon…and I love you for that. And as I said before, you are so very beautiful to me."

Monica smiles wider as Griffin called her beautiful, and she wanted so very much to go to Griffin and have a long wild lip lock with him right now. But she remains seated as she gentle strokes Griffin's forearm with her small soft fingers. "So got anything else plan after dinner? Going to your house and cuddle up next to a fire or something?"

"No…you'll see." Griffin teased. It took another hour with their meal, and Griffin and Monica just talked about their lives and feelings. Until they were the only couple in the small private room, Monica glazes over at a small stage where a dim blue and purple light shown through to light up a gorgeous black piano. Monica smiles and walks over to it.

Griffin smiles and follows over to where she was, "You like to play it?"

"Is it okay if I do?" Monica asks uncertain to be doing so.

"Yeah…it's there for anyone to play. And I got a request for you." Griffin said as he begins to pull out of his inner jacket pocket some sheets of music.

Monica gave a curious smile to what Griffin was planning, "And that will be what?"

"I heard you playing Can You Feel The Love Tonight for Emmalin and Sarah Thanksgiving night, and well I was hoping that you will play this for me," Griffin pauses as he hands Monica the sheets of music for her to play. "This has been one of my favorite love songs, and it helped me to get over Crystal. I want to share this song to the woman that I love." Griffin stares into Monica's eyes, as he silently hints to her that she is the one. Monica looks into Griffin's eyes, and in her heart she knew. And Griffin slowly came to her and lightly kisses Monica's cheek as she smiles and begins to play The Portrait from Titanic.

Monica has never saw the film of Titanic before, but when she plays the first few notes she smiles to herself and realize what song Griffin wanted her to play. She was familiar with the tune My Heart Will Go on, because she heard it at some weddings when lovers dance too. Now she has a man of her own who finds her sexy and beautiful and loves her. Monica was trying so hard not to give into Griffin's touch, as he kisses her neck while she was almost through the song.

Monica was about done with the song Griffin selected, but he couldn't help acting on his manly instinct and very gently he begins to lightly kiss the right side of Monica's neck. Griffin felt her warmth and the soft milky white flesh against his lips and he knew that in this moment he was lost in her beauty and grace. Monica stopped playing at that moment, and she gazes into Griffin's eyes, and then a heartbeat later her lips crashed onto his. Monica and Griffin slowly started to make out on the piano seat and not even caring about the world. They were happy to be in love and this is where Monica lets go of her angelic ways and goes a bit crazy when kissing the love of her life.

Griffin slowly guides Monica to face him and very carefully he pulls her into his chest and pushes her up against the piano keys. Monica's hands were in Griffin's hair as she feels each one of his hair on his head. Griffin had soft hair which had cause Monica to roam her hands through it.

Griffin wanted more of her, and he places his hands close near her breast, but he senses Monica's shuttering at his touch near her chest, then Griffin slowly backs off and moves his hands toward the smallness of Monica's back, and lightly strokes her. Then Monica's mouth opens wide, and Griffin moves in to taste her, and she moans when Griffin tangles his tongue with hers. They continue to kiss like that for what seemed like hours, and then very slowly Monica pulls her lips away from Griffin's, as her eyes slowly opens to look into his. Breathlessly they looked into each other's eyes, and Monica looks deep into Griffin's blue eye gaze and mummers to him, "That….was…the best kiss…I ever had…"

Griffin slowly moves his body away from hers and allows Monica to move off the bench. Griffin then catch Monica's gaze again, and he wanted to kiss her again, but he had to keep it under control. As much as he loves her and wanted to spend eternity in her arms, he also knows that she is still with God and under his rule. Therefore he can't cross the line with her, even though there are moments where he wanted to. "Well that was pretty much the end of our date unless you want to go for a walk or something?"

Monica giggles to that, "Actually if it's all right with you, I will love to hear you sing."

"What? Now?" Griffin asks.

"Well do you have your guitar?" Monica asks looking up at Griffin.

"At home, not on me no." Griffin smiles at Monica. "If you want we can swing by and you could stay awhile."

Monica took a moment to decide on what to do. Of course they are going a bit too fast, but what the hell. She loves him, and trust him not to take advantage of her, and so Monica agrees to go. "I will stay under one condition," Monica pauses.

Griffin's smile started to fade just a little, "And what is that?"

"As long as we don't go too far, and you know….get caught up in the heat of the moment. I'm still part of God's truth, and I am still his. The only way that I will give myself up to you, is if we are married, and not just get married so we could do it, but really truly marry each other, the way God wanted it to be." Monica had a serious look in her eye.

Griffin smiles to her, and looks deep in her lovely brown eyes, "Mon..I'm not into sex they way you think, and I'm not going to force it on you. I'm not that kind of guy. I love you, and I really want to make love to you out of love and intermittency and not just sex. I'll wait, whenever you feel ready." Griffin said stroking Monica's cheek with his thumb.

Monica smiles and looks in Griffin's eye, and saw his love for her in that moment. Then she pulls on his navy blue tie and pulls his lips to hers, and kisses him tenderly. Griffin responded and wraps his arms around her small waist and lightly strokes her back and shoulders. Monica then warps her arms around Griffin's neck and she gave him her heart as they kissed. Griffin slowly pulls away from her lips, and whispers in her ear, "Come on, the restaurant is trying to close. We can continue this later." Monica giggles to that, and walks in step with Griffin as they leave the restaurant.

As soon as they arrive back at Griffin's house Monica looked a bit shy, but her shyness fades when Griffin looked at her, and although it feels wrong to be doing this it also feels right. Griffin turns off the engine, and climbs out of the car as he waited for Monica to emerge from her side. Monica quickly came to Griffin's side and he offers his hand, and Monica smiles and grabs hold of it. And together they walk side by side close together, as he leads Monica into the house.

Andrew watches Monica and her new love disappears into the house. His heart ached when he saw the look on Monica's face with this man, and he notices that she was truly in love with him. He wishes that she will love him in the way that she does with this Griffin guy. Now that Monica chose her life to live out as a human, he now felt like she betrayed not only God, but also their friendship.

"Andrew?" A males voice echo behind him. Andrew turns around to look at Sam who was standing a few feet behind him.

"Sam? What ah….what are you doing here?" Andrew asks.

"I should be asking you the same question," Sam said, looking into Andrew's hazel green eyes.

"I….was…just," Andrew started but the way Sam was looking at him, he knew he couldn't hide from the truth. "I came here finding out why Monica will betray us like this for him."

"Andrew…Monica didn't betray us, she's in love with a human. This is her path and her destiny." Sam said looking at Andrew.

"What are you talking about her destiny is up in heaven." Andrew said not willing to accept that God planned her life in a different direction.

"No Andrew, her destiny is here on earth, with Griffin and his daughter. God appointed her to him, and planned it so that she will fall for him. I thought the same way. But Tess, knew that this will one day happen once Monica got promoted to a supervisor. I know that you fell in love with Monica too, and I know that it breaks your heart, but your jealously toward her love with Griffin is not helping your heart." Sam pauses to look up into Andrew's eyes. "You need to let go of your jealously and anger because Andrew these feelings are not angelic like and you know that."

Andrew bowed his head in shame, and he briefly explains his heartache, "I know it's not angelic like, but how can I heal my heart when the one angel that I love is in love with a human. I just feel so hurt and betrayed when she slapped me, and called me not a nice name. Sam why do I feel this way…why is my heart in such great sorrow when Monica chose to leave God's grace."

Sam pauses and came forward to place his hands on Andrew's shoulders as Andrew loses it, and begins to sob on Sam's shoulders for his wounded heart and his love for Monica. "I know that you love her, and I know that it hurts to see her in love with another guy. But you have God here who will take your broken heart and he will heal you. I'm not saying that it will be easy to let your love for Monica die, but at least you know that God loves you and he will always care for you. Come on; let's go home, your heart will never heal if you keep seeing Monica like this. She's being watch over by God as well as some of the other angels."

Andrew gaze slowly looks at Sam, and he knows that Tess has always been watching out for Monica. Then he looks at the house where he last saw Monica at, and then he turns back and Sam was gone. Andrew sheds his last tears for his love with Monica, and then he walks off into the night, and disappears where God was assigning him to.

Monica and Griffin came into the living room where they find Gloria reading a dictionary of crime. Monica smiles to her friend and knowing that she hasn't change. Gloria looks up from the dictionary and smiles up at Monica and Griffin. "Your back….Sarah is a sweet kid, you have a beautiful daughter Griffin."

Griffin smiles, and beams at her, "Thank you….I'm guess I don't need to pay you for watching her."

Gloria smiles and nods her head, "No, money is not worth where I come from, of course you know that. Consider that well…." Gloria pauses as she gazes at Monica.

Griffin smiles and squeezes Monica's hand, then he turns to Gloria, "thanks again for watching her."

"It was my pleasure, well I'll leave you two alone." Gloria said as she smiles at Monica. Gloria leaves the house and Monica follows her.

"Gloria….umm….thanks for everything. For understanding my feelings for Griffin, and well for being a friend." Monica said.

"Your welcome. You are loved up in heaven and well God blesses you with this life. So go back to him, just don't do anything stupid." Gloria smiles.

"I know….I already discuss that with Griffin. And to my surprise he really respects me." Monica admits.

"Well that's a good thing, well I got to get back to you know…my home, and you need to get back to your man." Gloria winks. And Monica smiles big when Gloria stated your man. The two women embrace each other for a goodbye and then with a blink of an eye, Gloria disappears to go to heaven. Monica looks to the stars and said her thanks to God, and heads back into Griffin's house.

When Monica walks back in into the house, Griffin bye the fireplace building a fire to set a romantic love mood for the two of them, and he had his guitar out waiting for Monica's return. Monica smiles at him, and thought he was absolutely charming and sexy. "A fire too?" Monica said as she leans her back against the cool white wall of the living room.

Griffin looks over at her, and a smile grew on his face, "Yeah…it's a little cool in here and I thought a fire will be nice." Griffin knew that Monica was no fool, and she smiles to him for catching his drift. He wanted to set a romantic mood to impress her. Griffin moves away from the fire and goes over to where Monica was and takes her small hand in his as he guides her to sit on the sofa.

"I haven't sang this song in college so, I might be a little rusty." Griffin said looking into Monica's eyes.

Griffin smiles at her, and then he strums the guitar to check the tuning. Griffin then looks into Monica's soft brown eyes, and Griffin took a deep breath and then very in a sweet loving voice he begins to sing the song by John Denver Leaving On A Jet Plane. As Griffin sings the course to Monica, Monica smiles brighter and her eyes lit up as each note Griffin sings felt like her heart was just melting. Monica leans in just a bit to gaze into his beautiful blue eyes and she felt like she was drowning in his blue gaze stare. Monica notice that Griffin was blushing a bit when he was thumbling over the words, but once Monica smiles at him, he continues on.

As Griffin sang the last note to the song, Monica was moved by Griffin's singing. Griffin then places his guitar off of his lap, and turns his attention to Monica. "I messed up a few times, because I wasn't use to my guitar, and also singing…I haven't sang that song since my audition for a band I try to go out for in college…but they didn't like my style of music.

"Well they don't know what they were thinking because I loved it. And when you sang to me the other night, you made my heart melt. You Griffin have a very sexy….singing voice. Which made me fall for you even more." Monica smiles to him. "After all this time of spending time with me and that, you never told me that you could sing."

"I was nervous and didn't know that you will like it." Griffin admitted.

Monica smiles, and softly whispered to him, "I do love your voice, with each note that you have sang, made me heart skip a beat…did you know that. Like I said you have a…." Monica pauses as she leans forward and leers Griffin into a passionate kiss again, "very…..sexy….voice." and Monica trails off when Griffin's lips crashed onto hers, and she pulls him near, to sink deeper and places her tongue with his and falls more in love with him each time he moves to her rhythm of kissing. Griffin leans into Monica as he wraps his arms around her body. When the kiss was growing too deep for the both of them, Monica pulls back just when they were starting to get a bit out of control.

"Umm….we should….gain a bit of control of ourselves." Monica said breathlessly feeling her heart beating too fast for her own body.

"Yeah…you're right….sorry…just, I've never been this crazy in love with anyone." Griffin admitted.

Monica gave a little laugh, and she snuggles in Griffin's neck, smelling his Axe scented smell. Griffin glances at the clock, and it read close to midnight. "Monica…I hate to break up our date, but it's late, and I ah..have to go in for work at like 7:00 AM. But I also don't want you to go."

Monica looks at him, and smiles, "If we don't go crazy what we did a few minutes ago, I will love to sleep in your arms just for tonight."

Griffin's face lit up, as he leans to kiss Monica's soft lips just a short and small kiss. And then Monica places her hand in Griffin's as he leads her to his room. Once they got to Griffin's room Monica looked a bit unsure of this. Griffin looks back at her and goes to her carefully, "I'm not going to take advantage of you. I'm a respectful man. I just want to hold you, and be near you."

Monica looks away and then she softly whispers, "I…..um…..I've never been in a man's arms before. And this is a bit frightening to me. I've always been told for 3,000 years to keep myself at a distance when it came to be with humans, and especially men."

Griffin strokes Monica's soft cheek, and he carefully gestured, "I'm not going to hurt you, if you feel too uncomfortable there is always a room down the hall. I just love you so much that I want to curl up with you and hold you until morning."

Monica gave a shy smile, and as Griffin spoke, her fear and troubles crumbles to the ground, and she felt safe in Griffin's eyes. Griffin kisses Monica's cheek, and she said, "Well since my pj's are at my apartment, do you have anything I can ware?"

Griffin chuckles at Monica's statement, "Yeah…I have a few things, hang on." Griffin leaves Monica side and goes to his dresser to pull out an old gray NYU t-shirt that is a bit small for him now, and an old pair of black basketball sorts, and hands them to Monica. "This don't fit me anymore, and it's the smallest I've got, the bathroom is right there that you can use to change." Griffin points to his small one beyond the bed.

Monica looks at Griffin, "What about you?"

"Oh I usually sleep in old sweats. I'll go to the main bathroom and change there." Griffin smiles.

Monica gave him a small kiss, and then walks to the bathroom. It took them about 15 minutes at the most, and soon Griffin came back into his room, he finds Monica tuck in his bed, and she had already was about to drift off when she open her eyes to fine Griffin at the door. Monica gave a welcoming smile which gave Griffin the invite to come lay beside her. Griffin strolls over to Monica's left side and lays down next to her and stroking her soft reddish brown hair. Monica smiles to Griffin's touch, and she turns to face him. Griffin looks down into her eyes, and the once fear that Griffin found in her eyes earlier, vanishes and now he peers into her soft glowing brown eyes filled with love.

Monica looks at Griffin, and then she gently anchors Griffin to kiss her goodnight. In that moment Monica and Griffin share a beautiful kiss filled with love and passion. Monica lets go of Griffin's kiss, and settles in next to him in his loving strong arms that Monica had been dreaming for months to have him hold her. And for the first time Monica hears Griffin's heartbeat, which was beating loud and strong. As the night grows on Monica soon drifts off into a deep slumber to Griffin's heartbeat matching her own, as well to Griffin's slow breathing.

As soon as Monica was out, Griffin looks at her sleeping from. He never realizes how beautiful she really was, until he looked at her sleeping peacefully in his arms. Griffin memorizes her body feature, and the curves of her slim itty bitty body. He feels Monica's hand lightly stroking his chest as well as the back of his neck. He looks to her, and watches the rise and fall of her stomach as she breaths. He never realizes how much he loves Monica until she was finally in his arms. Griffin notices Monica's necklace that he gave to her for Christmas is still around her beautiful white skinned neck. He looks at the sparkling jewel that rests between Monica breast, and he smiles to her sleeping form. She still kept it all this time, she truly does love me. Griffin thought and then he leans down to leave a butterfly kiss on her forehead and Griffin soon rests his chin on Monica's rounded head and pulls her near him. Monica's soft breathing made Griffin fall into a deep slumber where he finally slept peacefully for the first time in years. Monica was truly Griffin's savor and his true love.
