So. I'm sure we all can say I'm a terrible person, for going on a four month break without warning. I could very easily apologize, but it would just be more words on a document. So instead I'll make a promise - I will not go on another break without warning.

Please check out my profile. I have posted medium summaries for stories I am considering starting. Let me know if any catch your eye, via the poll or PM.

I am also officially a Beta Reader now. Check out my Beta profile and consider me if you are looking for a Beta Reader.

I do not own MBAV, but select characters and the plotline are mine to go Somewhere.

The Damned's Piece of Heaven

Confessions - Part Two

~Kolin's P.O.V.~

Jeff leads me over to the bed and we sit down. It's a while before he speaks.

"Angels get a visit a minimum of every century, unless they have someone or something to return to. I get one every 50 years since I am tracking a bloodline, especially since it's a metahuman boodline. The only way I could see you again is if I keep tracking Dimitri's bloodline, and that you stay close to it. Shapeshifters are, from what I know, immortal, right?"

My head was spinning slightly. "Um, yes, we are. But Shapeshifters are also hunted for our skins. That's why we're rare."

"Oh wow. That's kind of disturbing." He made a face.

"Yea. So wait - how long are the visits?"

He looks at me, serious again. "Six years."

"And how long have you been here already?"

"Four."

My heart skips uncomfortably.

"Jeff, are you saying that once you leave, I won't see you again for half of a century?"

His eyes widen. "Oh, Kolin, no. Well, yes, but, that can change."

"How?"

"Angels hearts change once they're in love. Once that change is made, we are drawn to earth every five years and stay for a year. This lasts until the person we dies, then we return to normal visit times. But something has to signify the change."

"Like what?"

"A kiss." He blushed a little bit.

I also blushed. "Are you say that you're in love with me?"

Jeff looked at the ground. "Maybe not all of the way yet, but I know that's what's happening. So, yes."

"Oh." I was truly surprised by that. "Why?"

He looked up at me, laughing in disbelief. "Kolin, you are the most beautiful person I've ever met. I can't entertain the thought of being away from you, and when I am, you fill my head until I get to see you or talk to you again."

My blush grew. "Oh wow."

"Would you give me a chance, Kolin? We don't have to kiss yet or anything, if that makes you uncomfortable. We don't even have to date. I'm just hoping you consider me..."

I leaned forward, putting my hands on his knees. "I will definitely consider you, Jeff. But, I've, um, never kissed anyone before..." I admitted earnestly.

He smiled knowingly. "It's okay, Kolin."

I smiled, then let out a breathy chuckle. I leaned forward and looked into Jeff's eyes, even as they closed and he put his lips on mine with a tilt of his chin.

I was having my first kiss. With an Angel.

He pulled away, his eyes lighter in hue, and wrapped his arms around me.

I was going to use every bit of those two years.
