Until about 5 minutes ago, I was really down, totally depressed. My Bank Account had such a large hole in it that even light couldn’t get out, and I was headed home to drown my sorrows in the little alcohol I have left! And it’s only week 2 of the month!
Mind you, I deserved all I got! Last month I spent money like water, wining, dining and playing around like it was going out of fashion!
But then a little angel appeared at my side, a tiny, slim, beautiful, 30 year old angel who will never appreciate how attractive she is to me, because I value her as a friend, and she’s been hurt before, too many times to even list.
“Fancy going to the pub?” she asked.
“Well, I would, but if I go to the pub tonight, I’m not gonna see the end of the month!” I, rather sadly, replied.
“My shout, come along for a couple”, she cheerfully chipped in.
“Well, you know I’m a cheap date, but still….” I perked up a little!
“Well, just for tonight, you’re my cheap date” she replied and, standing on tiptoe to reach, she kissed me on the cheek.
So I’m off to the pub with my diminutive angel on my arm! To be the envy of all.
Have a great weekend folks! I know I will!

Not quite what I expected after reading the title.
You hooked me.
Might I suggest getting rid of the exclamation points? (Leaving the one at the end of the third sentence is okay, though) They don't quite fit the style and became annoyingly redundant.
Also, "My shout, come along for a couple,"...should it be "My treat,"??? Or maybe 'shout' is used differently where you are.
Anyhoo. Keep writing! -
This is an interesting take on an angel. I didn't know angels to be drinkers
For some reason, I found this story vaguely humorous.
