The phone alarm woke Leo519Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ41xiFQ0j
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on519Please respect copyright.PENANAWzkKrqjXXn
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 519Please respect copyright.PENANAXDQKEX0NFz
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 519Please respect copyright.PENANAe5oTKOlaCu
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 519Please respect copyright.PENANAVIjRJk1k6D
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 519Please respect copyright.PENANANWVuUIh1sZ
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 519Please respect copyright.PENANAxDUFMh88so
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 519Please respect copyright.PENANADZ4ihIlVY0
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.519Please respect copyright.PENANAle17w8OJ0d
After taking a shower, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAj01joyN50d
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the519Please respect copyright.PENANA2F6m4kEUSb
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 519Please respect copyright.PENANAlU7euwrdCl
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 519Please respect copyright.PENANAe1YYJamLir
ever. 519Please respect copyright.PENANA9jUO0zyAxy
He soon went out of his 519Please respect copyright.PENANANprGakgQtL
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 519Please respect copyright.PENANA0UptZd1fxA
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was519Please respect copyright.PENANA7LDZfQcsaW
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind519Please respect copyright.PENANA9HZck7i8OO
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 519Please respect copyright.PENANAwKfqtpa9Zx
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 519Please respect copyright.PENANASt45iRDOGW
him.519Please respect copyright.PENANAGyRo4jFA5C
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 519Please respect copyright.PENANAI6uE48MFE1
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.519Please respect copyright.PENANA8rXVsXliOb
"Don't ruin the mood by 519Please respect copyright.PENANAmHajRm6bD3
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 519Please respect copyright.PENANASFWyKDwfay
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."519Please respect copyright.PENANAjXTcRTxCvw
Leo smiled as he 519Please respect copyright.PENANAT4yrm8QMvg
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 519Please respect copyright.PENANAXab54e2Po8
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 519Please respect copyright.PENANAd67DhnEKT2
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.519Please respect copyright.PENANAFSX55O4LcJ
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 519Please respect copyright.PENANAMdUQLCF1FA
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 519Please respect copyright.PENANAvRPNTFIDGZ
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.519Please respect copyright.PENANA6jCtRkjq8w
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."519Please respect copyright.PENANAhyphg8ULj5
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.519Please respect copyright.PENANA9CNqAmRoBT
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."519Please respect copyright.PENANA0akMM77hDo
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"519Please respect copyright.PENANA0RHDphLWRl
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.519Please respect copyright.PENANAv8wb4sWYHG
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."519Please respect copyright.PENANAVCujnpXvPq
"She is, actually," said519Please respect copyright.PENANAQfd4v8zrqo
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 519Please respect copyright.PENANAys9LdVYlTX
anything to you. You have me around."519Please respect copyright.PENANApQGTqK1nXN
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."519Please respect copyright.PENANA3uA9GLk2vq
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"519Please respect copyright.PENANATSqxXMfKQR
Before Carly could say 519Please respect copyright.PENANAfhGGtkLWA6
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAPdrFe2FOlR
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.519Please respect copyright.PENANA0dA8TtVz5Z
"What was that?" Leo asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANAUCgPU17rUI
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.519Please respect copyright.PENANAfdvt27yM89
Carly got to Angel's 519Please respect copyright.PENANAU1o66rRwCM
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down519Please respect copyright.PENANApzIIyT4YTH
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her519Please respect copyright.PENANAWiUolmN66I
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.519Please respect copyright.PENANAZcR1dna2pl
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.519Please respect copyright.PENANAC8u3jK8VR4
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7qPiOA9gIw
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," said Angel. "I was just trying to get something but I ended up dropping to the floor."519Please respect copyright.PENANADTWPHAWVDT
"You know you're not 519Please respect copyright.PENANAP8b0B6p3AP
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking519Please respect copyright.PENANAVwbnDJWK6P
for help. You never change, Angel."519Please respect copyright.PENANAcJvkgBhCS4
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."519Please respect copyright.PENANAT2hmJTLnwf
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAuKMR3GQpXZ
"No thanks, I'm fine."519Please respect copyright.PENANAUjLydMYWlC
Angel went on to look at519Please respect copyright.PENANAReOhTiqWOc
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and519Please respect copyright.PENANAcgj3nsr1QY
then she went on to stare at Carly.519Please respect copyright.PENANAA4zjjRpvCc
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANArJSmeJvWzT
Carly paused as she 519Please respect copyright.PENANAKTc65NPM4w
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister519Please respect copyright.PENANASF11vA7Jmm
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 519Please respect copyright.PENANACqzwjVTFmW
Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAE5x8Swxs4f
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."519Please respect copyright.PENANAUiupKDsUJH
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAhKpfUQydN6
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 519Please respect copyright.PENANAS4lWxr42oy
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 519Please respect copyright.PENANA1UvFNliofe
hurt or anything."519Please respect copyright.PENANA3rl6uZLXte
"May you please drag me 519Please respect copyright.PENANAeqc2GKrs3U
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 519Please respect copyright.PENANAEJN1gZRZGr
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.519Please respect copyright.PENANAbnBEhNvDJF
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.519Please respect copyright.PENANA43Th0zl1Vy
"Just like Carly said, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAVLP477AcZZ
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 519Please respect copyright.PENANAYA3pypu0Ky
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.519Please respect copyright.PENANARK7UFb229W
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."519Please respect copyright.PENANALffFdhb7wD
The room soon had an 519Please respect copyright.PENANAjcuGUD6uOj
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 519Please respect copyright.PENANApA0CKrOnvh
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAbEkLrsyeTZ
awkwardness.519Please respect copyright.PENANA0BXmnPmw3n
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAPEuHQue9bB
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."519Please respect copyright.PENANAlzKgipGrDa
"Sure."519Please respect copyright.PENANA0pHyDggVpJ
Leo stared at Carly 519Please respect copyright.PENANA3RCsFbfHia
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 519Please respect copyright.PENANAS1wpDCxvYX
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 519Please respect copyright.PENANACCuIhZhAH9
avoid any more problems.519Please respect copyright.PENANATzSm6wb9kh
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.519Please respect copyright.PENANABlsKi1snb1
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.519Please respect copyright.PENANASUHUVFuPzY
"Tea would be lovely, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAlML3mKRJ9B
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 519Please respect copyright.PENANALvvmlRq7an
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 519Please respect copyright.PENANAUKYFEKm7W0
could have helped you."519Please respect copyright.PENANAPcdCB6stMi
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.519Please respect copyright.PENANAkvaRbmCHp4
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."519Please respect copyright.PENANAZD5p0Ugw5a
Carly gladly smiled at 519Please respect copyright.PENANAuKI1HSaG1F
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 519Please respect copyright.PENANABmCMiANbyV
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 519Please respect copyright.PENANAe1kFOA7twJ
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 519Please respect copyright.PENANAR2QxNgYHwt
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?519Please respect copyright.PENANA68SzpDj4fU
And Leo? It was strange 519Please respect copyright.PENANAWSGn4tslke
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 519Please respect copyright.PENANA9fPYc48ZXd
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 519Please respect copyright.PENANA3rZFDH1Hmv
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.519Please respect copyright.PENANACgPxQTw9gL
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.519Please respect copyright.PENANAs7UMFxHPff
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANAFiEGGQFcc0
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyBB7VazT2n
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAhodvmQssIX
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."519Please respect copyright.PENANA5S44P7Ddxm
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"519Please respect copyright.PENANARJXjXSlc5l
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."519Please respect copyright.PENANAftQlhH5fGQ
While Amanda and Angel 519Please respect copyright.PENANAIrkBtNzHHK
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 519Please respect copyright.PENANAfBj7lFeUXB
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared519Please respect copyright.PENANAdjDpUf2JWe
at the door.519Please respect copyright.PENANAZxciEqlTCK
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.519Please respect copyright.PENANAKjwVHm3xi4
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."519Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cu2XaJfOn
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."519Please respect copyright.PENANAZM6LXjW1vX
"No, she didn't." Carly 519Please respect copyright.PENANAY6TNGRqX4P
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 519Please respect copyright.PENANA0oMvKdakwt
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 519Please respect copyright.PENANAN5e4OqRd0T
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 519Please respect copyright.PENANAhuCK9INWHb
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."519Please respect copyright.PENANAT2lvFcjH6r
"I don't care about 519Please respect copyright.PENANArMnbrswdmJ
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from519Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Q7cS2lfU
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 519Please respect copyright.PENANAJH4ooFiIFl
are real."519Please respect copyright.PENANAcp3ZdnOlwI
Carly smiled and she 519Please respect copyright.PENANAvKYSzVemKK
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 519Please respect copyright.PENANA3k5szq6NdQ
that she didn't want him to let her go.519Please respect copyright.PENANAzsbs5K3Vyv
She quickly turned 519Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ZhOFmoKa
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAm7KzcylFJI
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 519Please respect copyright.PENANA33pZLA9PG4
They would freak out."519Please respect copyright.PENANAuA2pglPO32
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.519Please respect copyright.PENANA3TQvaVDLIc
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."519Please respect copyright.PENANAuTjWAnYSD9
Leo continued to look 519Please respect copyright.PENANAy3jyJaw31O
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 519Please respect copyright.PENANA0VvM1hVWOF
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7YFA2FS2aX
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."519Please respect copyright.PENANAVM17sBUn3w
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"519Please respect copyright.PENANALCUAw3dK2M
"What's going on here?"519Please respect copyright.PENANA1dOfIKltlD
Leo and Carly almost 519Please respect copyright.PENANA6bOoF7lyjY
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a519Please respect copyright.PENANAAfbUvRRg93
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with519Please respect copyright.PENANAgQzc1Ti3Or
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.519Please respect copyright.PENANAZwgtHkWSSj
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"519Please respect copyright.PENANArZD4f0MJHm
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."519Please respect copyright.PENANAOLkGvcjXN0
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.519Please respect copyright.PENANAAYlFn2oM3R
"For Amanda and Angel."519Please respect copyright.PENANAOsVGJcFGqk
"They are both awake?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAUkRT4IEoB9
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."519Please respect copyright.PENANABwc0Uvrd7r
Mrs McDonell looked at 519Please respect copyright.PENANAs0oNL6N5Jw
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 519Please respect copyright.PENANA7rSwQD8Gxi
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 519Please respect copyright.PENANAXT8o0QNUDq
off.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7eHLfpSy26
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.519Please respect copyright.PENANAIosHN3gMPt
Carly took the tray 519Please respect copyright.PENANA08gsUVbNtd
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 519Please respect copyright.PENANADBumNsp72F
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 519Please respect copyright.PENANAuouzv2qlXO
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAgcqOOjiov8
corner.519Please respect copyright.PENANAvsikhIIiWh
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."519Please respect copyright.PENANAdeBNYAtjW5
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.519Please respect copyright.PENANAfnr7txztn7
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."519Please respect copyright.PENANAv22G0Ovap9
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."519Please respect copyright.PENANADyvpjrFUyd
Leo made his way to the 519Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tdn9uNvCN
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 519Please respect copyright.PENANALAkvJSsiXc
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAjAdoRzWdln
By seven, almost 519Please respect copyright.PENANAE1mKDMFCGd
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 519Please respect copyright.PENANANdrjPvBOr9
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 519Please respect copyright.PENANAgfVtPUKBNX
the lovely smell was intoxicating.519Please respect copyright.PENANAkjv9FeFT8y
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"519Please respect copyright.PENANAgyqwiGkn5E
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 519Please respect copyright.PENANA5B6hHNtip4
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 519Please respect copyright.PENANAVYnpYJHGDq
time to go to school.519Please respect copyright.PENANAF8hAdR8Sr6
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.519Please respect copyright.PENANAi1kQohz4Ke
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAovmF4t1KvK
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."519Please respect copyright.PENANAL829oq50uz
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.519Please respect copyright.PENANAnU7trxJvVR
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.519Please respect copyright.PENANAKYN1ZpUaXg
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.519Please respect copyright.PENANALXiByTpSyP
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAMh5rqTchRw
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAM5u1QNuJP1
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."519Please respect copyright.PENANA6SN93P39X2
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.519Please respect copyright.PENANAkvaHNlYE5J
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAxmwVNzp33Z
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and519Please respect copyright.PENANAd17raoay7q
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 519Please respect copyright.PENANAY93XqoxQJt
them.519Please respect copyright.PENANA1z76jd5ZPb
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.519Please respect copyright.PENANAtM5WCG2N8T
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.519Please respect copyright.PENANANFXJte3Yn3
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."519Please respect copyright.PENANAETsHwcaiSc
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANAwQfyZAJQVW
"Right," Leo replied.519Please respect copyright.PENANANFbwAXTuV8
Carly went to sit right next to Diana, and at the same time, faced Leo. Leo couldn't help but smile at her and she did the same.519Please respect copyright.PENANASeIZEiA5IY
Just as they were about 519Please respect copyright.PENANAIAM809kClx
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 519Please respect copyright.PENANAEMGxRhNMzw
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 519Please respect copyright.PENANAUHmW3Z5Xk4
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.519Please respect copyright.PENANAq7N87GUCa4
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.519Please respect copyright.PENANA6MMIjrUglk
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.519Please respect copyright.PENANAiRuFBJRVEM
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."519Please respect copyright.PENANA3L5VP8NOU1
Before Leo could reply 519Please respect copyright.PENANAOCv8W9GUAO
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 519Please respect copyright.PENANApduDa7Tn7H
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 519Please respect copyright.PENANApyVChOS7Nc
looked away feeling irritated.519Please respect copyright.PENANAcB5Nivbkhm
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAjJN0biFEvf
Everyone else on the 519Please respect copyright.PENANA0bNn5N8w3r
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 519Please respect copyright.PENANAlhDE3qcZ4N
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAiTHvngSJiq
except Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAzX733OAZTb
"This is just lovely," 519Please respect copyright.PENANA0mb2DhBdN3
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 519Please respect copyright.PENANALAZkIRNDju
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 519Please respect copyright.PENANA6I8kyoHB7B
really early."519Please respect copyright.PENANACT50unLWPv
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."519Please respect copyright.PENANAyQaRayejbd
"Your wife isn't here, 519Please respect copyright.PENANAE3OURy1ZiP
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 519Please respect copyright.PENANAjjU89L1eq9
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."519Please respect copyright.PENANAhyByZog1mz
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.519Please respect copyright.PENANAkPMZEW9wOY
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.519Please respect copyright.PENANAdhcWT7cHBP
Angel almost spelt the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAGCGQLLkmni
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.519Please respect copyright.PENANAUmrO3yM8TC
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other519Please respect copyright.PENANAwqRG0AB1lK
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 519Please respect copyright.PENANA2LZdZCLdpi
just ran a hand through his hair.519Please respect copyright.PENANAcaljxHlX5L
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyqL8JcCJLA
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.519Please respect copyright.PENANAgdEI5p5fJJ
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."519Please respect copyright.PENANAwFXBc5ZJLp
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.519Please respect copyright.PENANA83WxKCxxqZ
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."519Please respect copyright.PENANADrdOckggWq
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."519Please respect copyright.PENANAhq1SnLhgxU
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyz7y7RDYXh
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.519Please respect copyright.PENANAwQJcIORVLD
"Have to go to school," he said.519Please respect copyright.PENANA0waj0dESB3
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.519Please respect copyright.PENANAkps6Jf2H1M
Oliver came round the 519Please respect copyright.PENANA49WwwfSVTl
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 519Please respect copyright.PENANAQfXrXLhawb
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 519Please respect copyright.PENANAmnzw4wUFyY
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 519Please respect copyright.PENANAqbSc5Giwrz
ears.519Please respect copyright.PENANAHnP1ytATeE
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.519Please respect copyright.PENANAilbwLDR0PB
"So adorable," said Carly.519Please respect copyright.PENANAhsEVQG2h1M
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.519Please respect copyright.PENANAhFmFAdrD36
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."519Please respect copyright.PENANAXDJGf71CJQ
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."519Please respect copyright.PENANAtwUXo5uEQP
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."519Please respect copyright.PENANAACdnr2rgki
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAciqnmhUczN
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.519Please respect copyright.PENANADep2St3z9D
"Well, I do."519Please respect copyright.PENANACs0RrnUIp4
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."519Please respect copyright.PENANAyXM7SWNB3J
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.519Please respect copyright.PENANAGhLZhebrmP
"I would listen to her if I were you," said Mr McDonell. "We better head to the office. You and I have a lot of work to do."519Please respect copyright.PENANAst9oUNhlVf
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.519Please respect copyright.PENANAzqUEoK9soG
"I'll find you in the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAx904mkre6g
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 519Please respect copyright.PENANA8Oc7RDEYKV
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.519Please respect copyright.PENANAIC44qmv8Ar
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANAOFlhZCZCVX
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.519Please respect copyright.PENANAzdp5S7Q9rS
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."519Please respect copyright.PENANA3nWLpgUR5m
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."519Please respect copyright.PENANAIMEuzgtCaM
"I'm not a kid for you to be patting my head like that," said Angel as she looked up at Eric with an annoyed look.519Please respect copyright.PENANADV8Wz8lre4
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.519Please respect copyright.PENANAuYe5lkHIlW
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7eAhFYtie3
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.519Please respect copyright.PENANATXqvqmALt2
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAysSEsDsIZD
Before Carly could 519Please respect copyright.PENANAnc92nGzqXM
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 519Please respect copyright.PENANAWHwNBMB0mY
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 519Please respect copyright.PENANA8WyQ6EM2iY
interested about what her sister was up to.519Please respect copyright.PENANAnwgDbLbvW3
"I'll join you," said 519Please respect copyright.PENANAtUteYEPyc4
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures519Please respect copyright.PENANA9NzMgA4SMT
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."519Please respect copyright.PENANAoBmBysGDs2
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."519Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uma6imzhJ
"I'll go get ready," 519Please respect copyright.PENANAIIHE70R490
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 519Please respect copyright.PENANA7H2QgTI8eA
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 519Please respect copyright.PENANABXYXnDztlY
times.519Please respect copyright.PENANAkhpiy689ol
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.519Please respect copyright.PENANAv0jeBDDXTt
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.519Please respect copyright.PENANAy0sxtu2Nfh
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."519Please respect copyright.PENANAdpttL6QuI6
The last thing Leo 519Please respect copyright.PENANAf4RN41JX91
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 519Please respect copyright.PENANAGZH6TvrXLz
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.519Please respect copyright.PENANAnoz96oIbKa
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.519Please respect copyright.PENANAz78TpQ2lXH
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."519Please respect copyright.PENANAeZBS2UL39h
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.519Please respect copyright.PENANAOQoXT6FZcf
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.519Please respect copyright.PENANAh6Gqz8MuI4
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."519Please respect copyright.PENANAedffUtpe5I
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.519Please respect copyright.PENANAUnDmlY7nbp
"Yes. It's really 519Please respect copyright.PENANAam67SU3A3O
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk519Please respect copyright.PENANAfGWDYNicre
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 519Please respect copyright.PENANA5y1IfxVUGY
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 519Please respect copyright.PENANAqsCQAW9JIK
since I'm so old."519Please respect copyright.PENANAASvWP0vJAZ
Angel and Leo looked at each other. They were stuck now. They wouldn't like to hurt Amanda's feelings. Not in anyway, at least.519Please respect copyright.PENANATxGa1vgnVS
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.519Please respect copyright.PENANAp14MlBSqr6
"Thank you, Angel," said Amanda. She turned to look at Leo. "See how sweet she is? Now, are you going to hear me out or what?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAnaXeWXETCB
Leo sighed. He looked 519Please respect copyright.PENANAuNvNXT4Xzr
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife519Please respect copyright.PENANAlhHKcUlDSK
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 519Please respect copyright.PENANAo1nnCAnSDY
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.519Please respect copyright.PENANAGMl1iDeKtW
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."519Please respect copyright.PENANAIqrtIY1Yl2
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
