I woke up with a blanket over me. I looked around and I was alone. My knife was sitting on the coffee table.
"Richard?" I called out.
He peeked around the corner of the wall in the kitchen. I stood up and tightened my robe around me. I crossed my arms and walked over to him.
"Sleep well?" he asked as he handed me a cup of coffee.
I ignored his question.
"What are you doing here?" I asked calmly.
"I came to make sure that you were safe. I didn't want you to get cold so I covered you with a blanket. I uh, got caught up in watching you sleep so I stayed,"
I blushed.
"I said you can intervene if she is in trouble," a voice from behind me said.
I jumped, dropped my cup of coffee and turned around. It was Castiel. I backed up against Richard. He wrapped his arms around me. Castiel took a step closer.
"Cas, back off," Richard growled as he pulled me behind him.
"You know I won't hurt her Richard,"
I sat my hand on Richard's shoulder and looked up at him. He looked at me.
"Im sorry," he said softly.
I looked at Castiel. He glared at Richard, his eyes locked on him.
"He's not hurting anything Cas. He's really sweet. He's doing his job," I said.
"I said intervene if you're in trouble. I didn't give permission for him to court you, Cadence,"
"We haven't done... anything Cas,"
"Yet,"
I dropped my hand down to my side.
"Castiel, I'm just looking after her. That's all," Richard said.
"My instructions were clear. I said-"
"I know what you said, Cas,"
"So you choose to ignore my orders,"
Richard took a step toward Castiel.
"Last time I checked you're really not the boss of me Castiel. I'm doing no harm,"
Castiel took a step forward.
"Back off," Cas growled.
I walked inbetween them and pushed on their chests.
"Enough. Both of you. Castiel I dont know what your problem is but he's just fine. And Richard, I'd like it if you would stay here. With me,"
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Castiel asked.
"Because I'm me Cas. I promise you everything is okay. I'm okay. He's doing a great job, plus I do get lonely around here," I said softly.
"Very well," he said softly as he looked at me.
He looked back up at Richard, then to the wall beside him. Richard had made an angel banishing sigil. He swallowed and then looked back at Richard.
"I'm not done, Richard. Keep that in mind. You don't have to banish me. I'll see myself out," He said before he disappeared.
