《The Land of Angels》


 Prologue - The Fairy

    It all starts on prom night. After her boyfriend, Alex, excuses himself to use the men¡¯s room, she goes outside for some fresh air. She¡¯s admiring the beautiful view of mountains behind the lodge which was rented for prom. She¡¯s always hoped to get married to Alex in front of mountains like that. She starts to turn to go back inside, when she¡¯s shocked to see her boyfriend, having sex with another girl behind the school. She feels like her heart breaks into a million pieces. And she thought that he loved her.


    Her boyfriend suddenly sees her, and runs over, still naked and says, ¡°it¡¯s not what it looks like.¡±


    She justs runs away into a nearby park and cries, asking the universe for help. Anything to make the pain go away.


    She doesn¡¯t expect anyone to answer, but a small fairy with dark curly hair and a blue knee-length glowing dress appears.


    ¡°What is it you want help with child?¡±


    ¡°I want to the pain to go away. I just saw my boyfriend have sex with another girl and I can hardly breathe now. I think I might faint.¡±

    ¡°Well, as you know, fairies don¡¯t give things freely. I¡¯ll offer you a deal. I¡¯ll take away all your heartache of him, if you do me a favor in exchange.¡±


    Lyla, too upset to think clearly, says, ¡°yes, please, anything. What do you need me to do?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you after you agree.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I agree.¡± Instantly, Lyla feels all the sadness from what happened disappear. If feel amazing. She¡¯s light and free now.


    A small scroll appears in the fairy¡¯s hand. ¡°I need you to ask four guys each a different question from this list on your first date with them. You get to choose which question to ask ask which guy, but it has to be a different question for each guy.¡± She gives the scroll to Lyla. ¡°The questions are written here.¡±


    Lyla looks at the list and is surprised to see several different ways to inquire about a guy¡¯s size. ¡°What?! Why would you want me to ask these?¡±


    ¡°Being a fairy can be so boring,¡± the fairy yawns. ¡°Being the daughter of the Scorpio Fairy and the Gemini Fairy makes me the fairy of sex and gossip, and it gets so dull sometimes.¡±


    ¡°But-¡°


    ¡°I¡¯ll provide the dates. All you need to do is show up and ask sometime during the date before midnight.¡±


    ¡°What happens if I don¡¯t ask before midnight?¡±


    ¡°Then the spell with force you to ask it at midnight.¡±

 Date #1: Chris

    Chris rides up to the curb of the restaurant wearing a black leather jacket. He takes his helmet off and shakes out shaggy black hair, revealing a gorgeous face and a mischievous smile which makes me feel excited and like I¡¯m doing something bad the same time. ¡°I¡¯m Chris,¡± he says. ¡°It¡¯s unusual to see someone so beautiful.¡±


    After we sit down in a booth I say, ¡°So, uh, my friend dared me to ask a date this question. It¡¯s a little weird though.¡±


    ¡°Shoot,¡± he says. ¡°I like weird.¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s a sexual question, I¡¯m afraid.¡±


    ¡°All the better, my dear.¡± He leans in closer, his breath mingling with mine and his smile widens.


    ¡°Um, how about after the meal?¡±

    ¡°What kind of meal?¡± he asks, putting his hand on my bare thigh, touching me for the first time.


    I feel exhilarated, surprised, and and embarrassed all at once. I turn bright red. ¡°Uh, the uh, pasta.¡±


    He takes his hand away.


    Our entr¨¦es arrive and I¡¯m grateful for the distraction and the excuse not to talk.


    While we¡¯re eating he keeps giving me these looks like he¡¯d be eating me. I am now officially creeped out and just want this over with so I blurt out, ¡°how big is your penis?¡±


    He immediately responds, ¡°feel free to come over to my place after dinner and find out.¡± He smiles deviously like he was just waiting to say that.


    Even though I feel a little creeped out by this guy, I feel so relieved that I got that over with and can leave now. I¡¯m about to make an excuse to leave when he says, ¡°I¡¯m sorry if anything I said or did tonight make you uncomfortable. We can start over if you¡¯d like. I won¡¯t say anything else sexual for the rest of the night.¡± ¡°Or at least I¡¯ll try,¡± he adds.


    He manages to not say anything else sexual for the rest of the night, and kisses my hand before we part ways. He gives me his number in case I want another date with him, but I feel hesitant considering that he seems overly sexual in a way that creeps me out a little.
