SECOND CHANCE OF AN ANGEL ( BOOK 3) - Episode 8

Jessie opened her eyes and roll on her for sometime before she sat up and check the time

It's still early, she said to herself
She sigh softly as her mind drift to Michael,

She smiled softly at the thought of michael

I have a crush on him, she said but I know nothing can ever between us she added

It's just a silly crush and I'm sure it will fade away soon, she said With a shake of head

And besides he will get to meet his soulmate soon and I'm sure he does not even feel the same way towards me,

But for now, I will just fantasize about him, it will do nobody any harm she said as she closed her eyes and fantasize about the things she would have want with Michael

Her eyes snapped open an hour later, she fell asleep when fantasizing about Michael

She smiled to herself as she remember that dream she had about him

She tried to move her body but she wince in pain as her neck was a little stiff from the postion she placed it when she fell asleep

It took few minutes before the pain subsided and she stood up from her bed and went the the bathroom

She strip her closes and stare at her reflection as she trail her fingers around her body

I have really put on some weight ever since I got here, she said looking at her body

This place is really nice but I know I can't stay here forever, when I find my sister we will have to leave this place she said

And leave Michael too, she said in a whisper

Gosh I hope this stupid crush I have on him fade away soon I can't afford to like a person who I know can never feel the same way for me

She sigh as she averted her eyes from the mirror, she turn on the shower and sigh in contentment when the water touch her skin

This is what I need right now to keep my mind from drifting to Michael, she said as she enjoy her bathing

After she was done with her shower, she put on her clothes and made her way downstairs

Good morning, Jessie said to Elena immediately she entered the kitchen

Good morning, Elena said as she turn to face her

Hmm, somebody woke up in a good mood, Elena said as she observe Jessie who was still smiling

Yes I did, Jessie said with a smile

Do you want to share what put you in this good mood, Elena asked putting the knife in her hand down and giving Jessie her full attention

Nope, Jessie said smiling,

Okay then, Elena said

But I will be here when you are ready to talk Elena added

I will keep that in mind, Jessie said

Well help me out, Elena said

Sure, Jessie replied

Both Jessie and Elena talked about random things and laughed about it together as they prepare breakfast

When they were done preparing breakfast, they served the food at the dinning and soon the dinning table was full with the entire family sitting

Jessie keep stealing glances at Michael as she eats her food

She just couldn't take her eyes off him, she shook her head as she try her best to concentrate on her meal instead of the handsome man sitting opposite her

After breakfast Jessie took the dishes to the kitchen

Hey jessie, Ariel said

Hi, Jessie replied with a smile

You don't have to do the dishes, I will wash them, Ariel said

Don't worry I can do them, Jessie said

No, you help to prepare breakfast so I should do the dishes, Ariel said

Fine, I will do the dishes with you Jessie said

Okay, Ariel said happily

They both started washing the dishes quietly but all of a sudden Ariel burst into laughter making Jessie to look up at her

So sorry, Ariel said still laughing

Why are you laughing? Jessie asked

Grey said something funny to me, Ariel replied with a huge grin

What?

Jessie looked around if she will see Grey anywhere in the kitchen

Grey isn't here, Ariel said as she assume Jessie was looking for him since she is looking around

I and Grey share a "mind link" so we can always talk to each other, Ariel explained

It's from the bond you both share right? Jessie asked

"Yes" Ariel said

Nice, Jessie said with a smile

Does all Angels share a mind link with their soulmate? Jessie asked

No, Ariel answered, I have a very special bond with Grey, Ariel added

Yes, Michael actually mentioned that, Jessie said

Okay, Ariel said

Don't worry you will get use to me and Grey using our mind link to discuss, it really took time for the family to get use to it

Jessie smile as they continue washing the dishes

I will be out of here soon and they is no getting use your mind link, Jessie said to herself

They both left the kitchen together after they were done,

Jessie watched as Ariel went to sit next to Grey who did not even waste anytime as he wrap his hands around her

Jessie smile at them and she glance at Michael and she was surprise to see he was looking at her,

she smiled softly at him and she turned and hurry to her room and shut the door behind her

She lay on her bed with a smile, this silly crush has taken over my senses she murmur

Michael, she whispered with a smile

Michael was still seated in the living room with the rest of his family, he watched Jessie leave to her room,

he did notice Jessie glancing at him

It really felt nice, he said in a whisper

What felt nice? Raguel asked

Yeah, Angels hearing is really good, Michael said

Yep, Raguel replied

So what felt nice? Raguel asked again

Jessie staring at me, Michael wanted to say but instead he said the food we eat is really nice

Yeah, I agree, Raguel said

So what's up? Raguel asked

I should be asking you that, Michael said

What, why? Raguel asked

You know why, Michael said

No I don't know, you tell me, Raguel said with a smile

You and Elena, Michael said with a smile

What about us? Raguel asked

Are you guys planning to have another baby? Michael asked

Raguel laughed softly

Really? Raguel said

I have told you before we are not having another baby, Ariel is enough for us, he added

Yeah, whatever, Michael muttered

Raguel, please come upstairs, Michael heard Elena called

Got to go, Raguel said standing up

Okay, Michael said as he watched Raguel leave
He sigh softly as he turn his attention to the television

Minutes later, he felt eyes on him, he look up to see Anna watching him

Why is she watching so intensely? Michael said to himself

He averted his eyes from her and turn back to face the TV

But soon he felt the couch pressed down he look at his side and he saw Anna sitting next to him

Hey, Anna said cheerfully

Hi, Michael replied

He waited for Anna to say what she wants but she kept quiet and was watching him

Do you want something? Michael asked

It's already happening, Anna said

What? Michael said clearly confuse about what Anna was saying

You remember what I told you before? Anna asked

Its already happening, she said with a smile, just accept it Michael she added

She stood up from the couch, see you around she said as she left

Michael was seated dumbfounded

I remember what she told me, Michael said

*****( flashback) ****

Michael was seated outside after having a discussion with Ariel concerning her soulmate and she said he will get his soon, and that brought his entire mood down

He still thinking about what Ariel said before he heard the front door clicked open and Anna came outside

I know what you are passing through, Anna said softly

Michael snapped his head towards her direction

What! Michael said giving Anna a confuse frown

It's just a matter of time Michael, it will get better, with that statement Anna made her way to the door, she turned and gave Michael a smile

"It will get better" she said again before she entered the house

*****( End of flashback)*****

She said it will get better and its already happening now, Michael said

She said I will have to accept it, is she talking about Jessie, Michael said to himself

Is Jessie the one, Michael asked himself

Is she?
