The Angel in Angelo

    The summer sun was no match for the cooler breeze that whistled through Palmyra, Pennsylvania. The pavement of the driveway was occupied with soapy water that trailed its way to the sidewalk. The culprit of the soapy spill was a young slender tall man washing the body of a Toyota Rav 4. He did it smiling to himself even had a rhythm and groove to his cleaning. I walked up to him and stood there admiring him. Below I placed a picture of him and his mother to show his gleaming smile.

Angelo and His Mother

    “I finally got to wash my mom’s car.” he smiled at me. The dark circles swarming his eyes had no match to his smile. I always knew that, that smile would come in handy for him especially because this wasn't my first time seeing it.

    It was the first thing I noticed when I met him the first time. This time it was inching closer to the spooky season, I was hosting a party. I was pretending to be a bartender serving the juice I swore up and down I created. I was waltzing around the party, mingling and making sure everything was set and my eyes laid right on that smile. He was leaning against the kitchen sink right next to my juice station. I made my way over pretending to greet his friend group but truly it was only his smile that remained to stand out to me. He was wearing all black that night but the all black clothing had no match for his delightful glow.

    Angelo was more than a smile for me. He was a solid friend and a boyfriend figure. I had gone through a car accident that left me a wrangled mess but Angelo help me sort out the pieces. Anything with cars is Angelo's specialty. He could spend all day researching how to make his car go faster and another day installing upgrades. So during my search for a new car Angelo's vocabulary mostly consists of affirmations.

"I found a car do you think you could take me?"

"Of course."

"I don't know what to do Angelo I need a car." I cry.

"We can find you a car. Let's look" He smiles with uplifting confidence. Angelo's intelligence with cars are rooted from the fact that he loves everything about making them go fast. He currently owns a Volkswagen GTI hatchback and loves that car like the car is his girlfriend. His camera roll mostly consists of this vehicle, the picture shown below is a picture taken after he went to auto zone to add something to his car.

Always making sure "The Red Rocket" is sleek and clean. Similar to his care for his car, Angelo is always making sure that the people he loves the most are happy.

       The angel in Angelo consists of his whole being; being that he has the brains of a reliable auto mechanic and the heart of cupid. When Angelo says "Trust" that's all you have to do because everything from there on and forward is all taken care of.
