My Guardian Angel.

He was a mysterious perfect so-called human being.
He kidnapped me and brought me to this weird fantasy.
I wanted answers, so I gave him questions.
So I asked him, "where are we?"
His eyes locked on the endless diamond sky. The moon was full that particular night. We were laying down on our backs gazing up the sky letting the world passed by.
"Everywhere and nowhere," he answered coolly.
I was confused. The place wasn't familiar at all.
His car was parked just a few feet behind us. We were on the moist green grass. It was too dark outside to recognize anything else.
"Who are you?" I asked.
He smiled without looking at me, "you can call me Gray."
I turned my head to look at him. He had closed his eyes. The moonlight was enough for me to figure out his features. He had tanned skin and ripped biceps. His face was marble-smooth. His jaw was tight and his eyes I saw earlier was dark green. He was tall and made to be a model but I didn't recognize him in school.
I looked away, "you're not from my school are you?"
He chuckled, "do you think I'm still schooling?"
"Didn't think so," I rasped.
He had kidnapped me that night when I was walking alone back to my house from the worst dance ever. I got dumped by my first boyfriend whom I dated for less than a week. I didn't know why, but when Gray's car stopped next to me when I was walking, I was glad. He opened the door for me, "hop in," he invited. Without a second thought I did. When I was in his car I could feel nothing. I wasn't scared nor was I afraid. I could feel that he was someone close to me. Like I've known him for years. But in fact he was an absolute stranger to me. He didn't touch me once in the car. He didn't even look at me. He just drove and I sat still, letting him do what he wants.
When he finally stopped the car, I then realized what I had done.
So there I was laying beside him shooting him questions like a crazy machine gun.
"Who are you?" I asked for second time.
He looked at me with his intense green eyes. Drowning me in them. I almost chocked to death.
"Your guardian angel."
That's when I realized, I was safe. I smiled and edged closer to him. He draped his left arm out and I rested my head on his tough arm. I could smell is mouth-watering cologne. It smelled like daisies.
"Don't go," I said.
"I won't," he vowed. He plucked the nearest flower he could find and tucked it behind my ear.
I couldn't remember how long we stayed that way.
But I remembered burying my face in his chest crying like hell.
I remembered him whispering into my ears sweet little nothings.
Telling me he knew what's going on and that I was safe with him.
I remembered telling him the story of my life.
I remembered him stroking my hair gently.
I remembered closing my eyes after my tears had completely drained.

Then nothing. It was darker than night.

I woke up in my bed this morning. I thought I was dreaming because last night seemed so surreal. I scrambled out of bed and looked myself in the mirror. That was when I broke into a smile. I could still see the beautiful white daisy tucked neatly behind my ear. I took it out and twirled it between my fingers. I walked to my half opened window and looked up the sky, when will I see you again Gray? My guardian angel.
