Having Powers

Chapter 4

There were elegantly dressed people, standing around. Most were chatting, with drinks in their hands. Everyone, seemed to be having a good time. I moved from room to room, greeting people as I went, and making small talk. Still no sign of Josh. I spotted Anna, in a sexy, red tight dress reachingbher bum. She was surrounded, by her usual clique of friends, animately chatting away.

I decide not to apprach her, as the older we had gotten, the more she seemed to loat me. I never understood why. So instead, I just kept my distance from her.

After about half-an hour, with still no signs of Josh,

I decided to go outside into the garden, to get some much needed fresh air. I walked towards the white marble water feature, in the shape of a mermaid. She was out of the water, standing on her tail. It was my favorite one, out of the three that graced the garden. I sat down on the ledge, trailing my hand in the water.

So caught up in my thought was I, that I didn't noticed the dark figure approaching.

"Angel," I heard a man whispered behind me.

Turning around, I see a tall man, dressed in all black. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't see his face to be sure. Only one person called me that. He had created this nickname for me, because he had found that, I was too prefect to be real as a baby.

I stood up, and he moves back a bit, into the light. It was him! I thought to myself, but he looked different. More like a grown man. Josh wore a button up silk shirt, with a pair of matching black slacks. His black hair, was cut short, with a few wayward curls, laying on his forehead. He was tall, taller than I remembered, with a muscular lean body. His nose was slender flaring out a bit at the tip, with a square jawbone and full lips.

His dark eyes were framed, by long eyelashes, and were intently focuing on me.

Josh was gorgeous, you could even say beautiful. How did I not notice this before?

He looks me over, then says "You have grown up."

"Yes, I am a young lady now," I tell him laughing.

"Yes you are. My beautiful Angel," he tells me, giving me a hug. I hugged him back, feeling his warmth body aganist mines. I felt breathless and like a hundred butterflies were in my stomach. Wow! What was that I wondered.

He pulls back, then asks me about my parents, school and life. I bring him upto date on everything. Its now or never I thought and blurt out, "I need your help, to find my birth parents."

Josh stills, and go silient.

Glancing at him, I see him staring out into the night. "Please Josh, its important to me, to know where I came from," I tell him with tears in my eyes.

He was my only hope. I did not know what else to do. I would have to wait, till I turned eighteen, and with my powers growing sparodically could not wait that long.

He sighs, then looks at me and says, "Okay."

I jumped into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck, "Thank you, thank you," I tell him.

He takes my arms from around his neck, holding them in his. He turns my palms facing upwards, and kisses them. "We will talk some more, during the week," he says, releasing them. "I have to head back in," he says, looking back at the party. "Are you coming?" he questions.

"No. I'm going home," I tell him.

"Let me walk you," he says leading the way.

We walked in silient, and in no time, reached my house.

We stood in front of it, and he watches me go inside.

I go upstairs into my bedroom, peering out my window, I see him still standing there. I leaned out the window and waved at him, he waved back, then walked off.
