Gabriel out of my head. I am not sure how I am going to do that, but it is the plan. If he appears again in the night, I will tell him to leave me alone. I spend the rest of the day reading some kind of romance, hoping that I will resolve my dilemma soon. In the evening I go to bed early, hoping that I won’t have to see Gabriel anymore. Fortunately for me, he doesn't show up, but I feel betrayed even more, as it shows that he listened to me.  
     
    The next day I am expecting to see George and I spend the whole day mentally preparing for this evening. I avoid going outside the house today; I am not ready to see Gabriel as yet. I know he is there but I feel like a coward.  
     
    Mum calls to check on me and mentions Christmas. She talks about the mysterious man who she is seeing and I’m glad that her life is more interesting since I’ve moved away. In the evening, I leave the house to pick up George from the bus station.
     
    The weather is terrible and with the wind and rain hitting my face, I decide to run back to the house and grab my winter jacket. I try to make an effort for George, so I reapply makeup and style my hair. I have my best jeans on and my reflection in the mirror shows that I’m in a better mood today. I am dreading stepping outside again, but I can't hide in the house for the rest of my life. When I leave, Gabriel is outside the house. Even though it’s dark I can see him clearly on the street staring at me. I ignore him and decide to drive to the station instead of the original plan of walking. Looking at the mirror, I wonder if he will follow me and try to pretend that my heart won’t react if he does. I assume that Sprites are able to travel, but I don't know and I don't want to find out. The less I know the better I feel about the whole situation. When I pull out of the driveway onto my street, he is still there following me with his blue eyes. His expression is unreadable.
     
    The bus station is busy and after struggling to find a parking space, I’m forced to leave the car on a nearby street and walk a few minutes to the station. When I finally get there, I have a few minutes before the bus arrives, so I go to the shop to get a drink while I’m waiting. I feel tension in my body as I walk. I notice Gabriel who is staring at me, looking irritated, but maybe this is just my imagination.
     
    There are a few more Sprites around me and a few of them nod towards Gabriel. He is making me nervous and uncomfortable, but I can't let him see my apprehension. I focus on the fact that I’m here to see George and try and put it to the back of my mind that Gabriel is even present.
     
    As the bus approaches, relief spreads over me; a few more minutes and I will be able to escape Gabriel's intimidating expression. A beautiful, blonde fairy woman is standing next to me. She’s almost the same height as me with porcelain skin. My body tenses but I try not to let her know that I can feel her next to me. As George leaves the bus, he looks around trying to find me and takes out his phone, presumably to check if I have contacted him. Disappointment spreads over his face after he sees that I have not attempted to ring or message him. I am just about to wave to him, but the beautiful fairy walks up to him, whispers something in his ear as if she’s reading my mind and then walks off, looking pleased with herself. He then notices me and smiles. I can’t help but think what she must have said to him.
     
    ‘Finally, you started to think straight,’ he says, unexpectedly kissing me long and passionately on the lips and I don’t hold back.

    He smells of familiar aftershave. My heart doesn't react like when Gabriel touched me, but I kiss George back as wholeheartedly as I can. From the corner of my eye I can see Gabriel who is staring at me and the satisfaction hits me unexpectedly. His body shifts, showing his annoyance, but within a few seconds he is still again. I feel like
