2 An Angel

MANCHESTER, UK

"Vanylla, are you ready?" Katrine peers through the door of Vanylla's room. Vanylla smiles broadly and nods to Katy. She carries a bag and a camera and walks cheerfully out of her bedroom. Vany and Kat will go to a newly opened painting gallery.

Vanylla Wright loves all about paintings, and she did have a talent for drawing, but she does not have the confidence to exhibit her works to other than Katrine or her family.

Both of them walked into the gallery, and Vanylla immediately took several photos while continuing to admire each one of them. Her face shines because she's happy. Vanylla loves to paint and wanted to become one of the most famous painters in the future.

"They are wonderful!" Vanylla said continuously to Katy, a nickname of Katrine. And Katy just smiled at how happy her best friend can enjoy the paintings.

"After this, I'd like to introduce someone to you!" Katy whispered while pulling Vanylla to her side. Vanylla was so frowned upon in wonder.

"Oh no, Katy, don't tell me that you are setting me up again!" said Vanylla dropped her shoulder with a frowning face and a disappointed tone

"Why not? he's a handsome man!" Katy exclaimed and immediately gave her thumb in front of Vanylla's face.

"I said no!" Vanylla quickly left and slit away. Katy was annoyed by her, similar every single time she's asked her to date.

Vanylla was 21 years old, but she has never dated before, and she never been kissed.

'Oh God, what kind of woman who never kisses at the age of 21 in this century? I think Vanylla was the only one!' Katy shrieks on her mind.

"Come on. I've been dating three different boyfriends three times this year, and I want you to date too" Vanylla immediately shakes her head.

"If you want to date, do I have to do it too? No!" Vanylla was still taking photos ignoring Katy.

"Can we have a double date?" Katy offered with her adorable teasing eyes.

"Come on, Vany, he's Peter's friend. You will like it, trust me," Katy grinned, still flirting. Vanylla was always upset when she acted like that. Katy loved to force her wishes on Vanylla. She would continue begging until she has what she wants. Katy was Vanylla's childhood best friend. They grew up together, going to school and now having college together.

Vanylla was a smart girl. At the age of 21 years, she almost completed her architectural studies in Manchester, England. While Katy, who was two years older than her, chose business majors to get involved in her father's business. Only one more month then Vanylla and Katrine would graduate and return to Los Angeles.

Katy finally persuaded Vanylla to go to a cafe. They can only reach it by taking the subway. The restaurant was close to their apartment. After arriving there, Katy's eyes were looking around for Peter Shawn, her boyfriend. He has sat at the corner of the cafe. Katy waved her hand while then pulled Vanylla, who was walking casually. It seemed Peter was sitting with a handsome man. The man had short hair, a polo shirt with a pair of shorts, and a sweater tied around his shoulder. He wears sunglasses placed on his head. Vanylla, who was so pretty and innocent, wore a T-shirt dress with a mid-thigh skirt and a blue denim shirt. Her hair was wavy brown, and she did not forget to wear her favorite boots. Sweet, cute, beautiful, and could not cover her innocence.

The man next to Peter immediately looked at Vanylla without blinking. And Vanylla just made a vague smile showing off her beautiful dimples.

"Hi Vany, let me introduce my friend, Greg Hartman" Greg immediately gave his hand to Vanylla, and she took his handshake while smiling shyly.

"Hey, I'm Greg Hartman, just call me Greg," Greg said and smiling broadly

"Vanylla Wright," Vanylla answered slowly and briefly

"Wow," muttered Greg quietly. He could not hide his admiration for Vanylla, and the girl was gorgeous. Katy dragged Vanylla to sit next to Greg because another stool next to Peter belonged to Katy

"Where were you both from?" Katy asked Peter while drinking her coffee. Vanylla ordered hot chocolate instead of coffee, and she didn't like caffeine.

"Oh, I just accompanied Greg to his golf practicing. He has a competition next week" Greg smiled and drank his coffee. Vanylla just kept quiet and listened to them talk.

"Vanylla, Greg is one of the golf athletes on your campus," Greg turned to Vanylla.

"Are you studying at the University of Manchester?" Greg asked, looking into Vanylla's eyes, and Vanylla just smiled and nodded

"Oh, what major, and how could I never saw you before?" He asked again

"Architect and art" Greg's eyes widened, and she smiled.

"Uhmm, I am in a business and management student the last year. I will graduate in a week," he adds, still smiling. Vanylla only smiled back and looked down.

'This girl's eyes are big and beautiful!' Greg thought to himself.

"Vanylla was also on the last year she would graduate next month with me," Katy said while scooping up the cheesecake she ordered. Greg nodded with a frown.

"Do you? if I may know, how old are you, Vanylla?" Greg asked.

"21!" Greg's eyes widened again, then continued to nod and smile

"That means you're a smart girl. You can graduate at such a young age. I just turned 25 and graduated!"

"Greg was also brilliant, and he could finish college and making a scholarship from becoming a professional golf athlete. I think he will replace Tiger Woods soon," Peter said with a chuckle. Vanylla only smiled faintly. Peter was promoting his friend.

The rest of the afternoon, they spent chatting. Of course, the ones who talked a lot were Katy and Peter, who kissed from time to time, and Greg chimed in several times, and Vanylla only answered if she's asked. Suddenly, Vanylla's cellphone rang to her brother's calls.

"Yes, Jared," Vanylla answered, smiling. Greg, who heard a little Vanylla's voice, frowned. Who's Jared? He thought

"Where are you, Baby?" Jared asked.
