Chapter 12
"Nora!" Patch called as he walked into the doorway, by this time I was up and acting as if nothing happened. even if I was still shaky from what happened.
"what?" I asked, picking my phone up from the floor and placed it inside my handbag which had my compact mirror/brush, keys, pepper spray, lip gloss, keys and phone.
"what happened? I called you earlier and I head you telling someone to leave then all I got on my end was static" Patch said walking over to me.
"just a guy from school turned up drunk and tried making me go out and party with him and few friends, no biggie I made him leave" I explained as I headed to the door.
"you sure your ok?" he asked following after me.
"yeah" I said closing the door and locking it behind us, "new car?" I asked as I laid eyes onto a jeep commander.
"I won it a few nights back, I guess after that game I have to stay away from dark alleys" Patch said holding the door open for me.
"thanks" I said getting in the passenger side of the Jeep and Patch into the drivers side.
We drove silently to Bo's arcade, the only noise was the music Patch played.
once inside we walked down to the pool hall, Patch chose the table farthest away from the exit.
"I'll get drinks you set up" he smirked , walking to the bar and ordering two 7ups, as I walked over to the pool cue sticks and picked my usual one.
"I'll break" I said smirking back at him. I have to admit I was enjoying myself.
"if you don't get one in and I do get one in then I get to ask something of you" Patch chuckled.
"deal" I said confidently, I lent over the table, made a little circle with my thumb and pointer finger then angled the cue stick, slid back and launched it at the cue ball, hitting it head on. the cue ball flew across the table directly into the centre of the circle, scattering the multi coloured balls all around the table, but none entering the holes.
"I never put enough strength into it" I said sitting up, grabbing my 7up as Patch lent over the table in my place to 'try' winning our deal.
"get ready for what I'm going to ask you, angel" Patch laughed. it was kind of ironic, Patch is suppose to bring upon my death but I can't resist him and he calls me angel when I'm meant to be Lucifer's bride.
"don't get cocky" I said brushing my hip against his butt hoping to throw him off the shot; as he took the shot, he got two balls into the holes.
"your jacket" he said sitting up.
"what!" I said, placing my 7up on the edge of the pool table.
"your jacket, I want it off you" he smirked, as I took my jean jacket off, which gave him a bit more cleavage to look at, "nice" he smiled looking at me.
Suddenly a pale man, with scruffy hair and wearing a black jumper, jeans and boots. He came over to our table, drank my 7up and belched.
"that was my 7up" I said, looking the man right in the eyes.
"you seriously know how to pick 'em Patch" the man said in a thick Irish accent. "the names Rixon darling" he said, extending a hand to me.
reluctantly I took it and he smiled shaking it viciously.
"I'm Nora" I replied.
"you sure know your way with women, Rixon" Patch laughed as Rixon released my hand and lunged at Patch.
"men" I sighed watching the two guys brawl on the floor, throwing punches, laughing and cursing.
"you haven't changed Patch" chuckled Rixon as the both got up off the floor, Patch's shirt was ripped and couldn't stay on his body.
"give me your jumper" Patch said to Rixon as he stripped his ruined shirt off.
"what do you think, Nora? shall we give him a shirt?" Rixon winked at me as I evaluated the situation, Patch with his top off was hot and he probably didn't want people seeing the v shaped scar on his back, it looked old so it didn't happen recently, he probably felt strange without his wings.
suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head and my vision went blurry.
"What is happening to me?" I whispered to myself.
"what did you say, Nora?" Patch said while putting on Rixon's black jumper that revealed a fitted white T- shirt.
"nothing, be back in a minute" I said jogging while trying not to fall; to the ladies bathroom. "am I really changing into Lilith?" I breathed deeply, after slapping water on my face.
"hello, Nora" came a male voice from behind me.
who are you? and why are you in here?" I asked whirling around to see a man, same size as Patch, same build as Patch but not Patch. He has shoulder length, layered black hair with a side fringe, glowing crimson red eyes. he was wearing black loose jeans, a hoodie with no sleeves, with the hood on his head and black converses. He also had a lip piercing that had a chain connected to it that connected to his left ear ring.
"my names Raphael, please to meet you" he smiled walking towards me. As he closed the distance between us I could see he had a tattoo of a red dragon on his chest, I could see it clearly because the hoodie zip was only a quarter of the way done up.
"how did you know my name?" I asked taking a step back after realizing he was directly in front of me, his face was closing in as if he wanted to look into my eyes or kiss me, or do both.
"I've known you since you were very small" he smiled, somehow his smile made me warm inside.
"what are you?, I'm not stupid enough to think your human" I said, slowly stepping in a semi circle to the door.
"oh, c'mon Nora you couldn't have forgotten that I saved your life and you agreed to marry me in return" Raphael said, his eyes remaining on mine the whole time. By his time the pain in my head seemed to stop and my vision because so clear it was like I had brand new eyes.
"you didn't answer my question" I said. maybe he caused my pain to get me in here alone.
"I'm a demon, but what difference does it make, I saved the famous queen of darkness and in return she offered herself to me" he explained sitting on the sink.
"well, I don't remember anything about it, sorry" I said running out the door and back to Patch.
When I got back Rixon was gone and Patch was packing up the pool table.
"hey, you made me wait" Patch smirked as he evaluated my face, "your make up is gone, what happened?"
"I washed it off when I splashed water on my face, as I felt a burning sensation on my back.
"anyway, let's get you home, angel" Patch said, as I picked my coat up off the chair and put it on.
when Patch pulled up to my house he kept the doors to the car locked and the motor running.
"here" he said handing me a bag with a box inside, "don't open it until your in your room."
"ok, can you unlock the doors?" I asked, looking nervously at the door opener.
"no can do angel, you have to compensate me" Patch chuckled staring me directly in the eyes.
