The Devil's Angel

Tarot Cards

———————————————————

Bill looks at a map
Bill: "Huh.. I see a few over there.."
He turns the wheel
He looks up at the street name
Bill: "GeorgListingLane?.. What is it with dumb ass street names?.."
He shakes his head in disappointment and looks out to the window
Many stores are right next to a big fancy mall
"Tang's Sushi?" He sees a big crowd near the sushi place
Bill: "Hm looks fancy, Angel would love it.."
He wants to impress her
*He parks the car and walks over to the restaurant..*
The music was so loud he could hear it from outside, yet it was comforting
"Move On" - George Michael

Bill walks through the crowd, being the tallest one and goes up to the clerk
Bill: "Hey, can I make a reservation?"
Clerk: "It's a bit busy today, the earliest time would be 6:00 pm"
Bill is annoyed
What is he going to do to pass his time?...
Bill: "Alright just reserve it for me" He fixes his sunglasses and looks down at the lady
Clerk: "Um yes sir.." she clicks a few buttons on an ipad

——————————————————-

Bill wasn't sure if he either wanted to go back to Angel or explore the mall area
He decided on the latter
He walks around, seeing a few girls pointing at him, (he knew he was hot), but he didn't care anymore, he had Angel
Bill: "Hm where can I go..."
Icecream shop, Furniture store, Flowers, Perfume...
Psychic Readings?..
He looks up at the store
It was mysterious with a logo that consisted of 2 big purple eyes
He looks inside the window which was hidden with it's big indigo curtains..
The place was drawing him in...
He decides to go
He walks up to the door, a jingle echoes

An older lady with long black hair, dark blue eyes, pale skin and crystal jewelry dangling over her arms hurries up to him
Psychic: "Hello sir.. How can I help you today?" she asks in a Romanian accent
Bill pauses
Why the fuck did he come here?..
Just for fun..
He looks at her, perplexed
Bill: "What kind of readings do you offer?"
She hands him a flier
Psychic: "Tarot readings for $10, crystal ball readings for $15, wax readings for $5.. And the rest is down there"
Bill looks at the tarot section
He's never had a tarot reading done on him
Bill: "Tarot"
Psychic: "Good, good.. sit here"

She lets him sit on a beanbag as she sits on the floor
There's a short table in front of them with a stack of tarot cards, selenite, and some incense burning
Psychic: "First take my hands"
She reaches them out and Bill reluctantly holds them...
Her hands were cold, old, and lathered in some strange intense lotion
She immediately flinches, getting a vision
Psychic: "I see you were born from evil"
She pulls out "The Devil Card"
He nods, a little amused
Psychic: "But..." she continues
She shuffles the deck and the star card flies out
Psychic: "You have a new hope.. Yes?"
Bill nods
Bill: "Angel..."
She smiles, knowing exactly what he means

Psychic: "Do you have a question to ask the cards?"
Bill thinks for a moment
All he cared about was one thing
Bill: "How's the future going to be for Angel and I?"
She looks at him, deeply
Psychic: "Hmm...."
She shuffles her deck, closing her eyes
After a couple minutes, no cards come out
Psychic: "This might have no answer.. Or the spirits don't want me to tell you"..
He rolls his eyes
This is some trash reading
Bill: "Just tell your spirit team that you don't care"
Psychic: "Let's look at the bottom of the deck then..."
She turns it around
"2 of Swords"
Psychic: "I'm afraid to say but the answer is very vague.. Your future is uncertain and hidden..."

Are you serious?..
Bill is pissed off now
Bill: "So much for that question.. You don't even deserve the money"
He throws her a 5 dollar bill rather than the 10 he promised
