The phone alarm woke Leo507Please respect copyright.PENANAxhM5c11p7m
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on507Please respect copyright.PENANAQEmUlrfOmC
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 507Please respect copyright.PENANA6n2gunNKEj
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 507Please respect copyright.PENANAAvHI5B7w65
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 507Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ9I0UydAT
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAtU2wnaVSwP
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 507Please respect copyright.PENANA8wpxwMf8s3
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 507Please respect copyright.PENANA7MgpYd1X7x
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.507Please respect copyright.PENANA37a6vYpHS5
After taking a shower, 507Please respect copyright.PENANAiyFt8YvJd8
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the507Please respect copyright.PENANAmGNR1icMnX
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 507Please respect copyright.PENANAuzhiUkWRUD
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 507Please respect copyright.PENANAOPtqP22lP3
ever. 507Please respect copyright.PENANA11nZnQ86yS
He soon went out of his 507Please respect copyright.PENANAFjKr810KIE
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 507Please respect copyright.PENANAOmPLxA01EZ
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was507Please respect copyright.PENANAHR6gdKswBH
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind507Please respect copyright.PENANAq3onWfteRd
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 507Please respect copyright.PENANAEs6nxgAqBo
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 507Please respect copyright.PENANAoyL7rQv2fQ
him.507Please respect copyright.PENANAyqlScFyG4P
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 507Please respect copyright.PENANACMecL6BsfB
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.507Please respect copyright.PENANArRPUHvQESE
"Don't ruin the mood by 507Please respect copyright.PENANAvNQ1SGcZOA
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 507Please respect copyright.PENANA5lPansiUGz
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."507Please respect copyright.PENANAfaGBHUtcEm
Leo smiled as he 507Please respect copyright.PENANA2wsWzowJYv
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 507Please respect copyright.PENANAC2qWN9SGmM
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 507Please respect copyright.PENANAB4O0URN16x
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.507Please respect copyright.PENANAudQWDugmzR
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 507Please respect copyright.PENANAFwcCq5Y7O1
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 507Please respect copyright.PENANAephWWUbNcC
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.507Please respect copyright.PENANA3l3d0shvNz
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."507Please respect copyright.PENANASc6kWGLMza
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.507Please respect copyright.PENANA9h20r7HlFb
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."507Please respect copyright.PENANArMTIFzzhHa
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAyD28YRWvF6
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.507Please respect copyright.PENANAx89RfKGLUd
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."507Please respect copyright.PENANAXkU1W7Evkh
"She is, actually," said507Please respect copyright.PENANAApC6zRuZHl
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 507Please respect copyright.PENANA8SYQsACm45
anything to you. You have me around."507Please respect copyright.PENANAsAdkVl9EuE
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."507Please respect copyright.PENANAIFdU5smk10
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"507Please respect copyright.PENANANEMOjVMfaO
Before Carly could say 507Please respect copyright.PENANALsEvflDmkr
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAPKvsn2hLSz
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.507Please respect copyright.PENANAE0THok11CB
"What was that?" Leo asked.507Please respect copyright.PENANAoGktKPliBZ
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.507Please respect copyright.PENANALsXNpgBtwj
Carly got to Angel's 507Please respect copyright.PENANAB6I3FPi84L
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down507Please respect copyright.PENANACK1yiTgpJg
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her507Please respect copyright.PENANAVHVJwgnzqE
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.507Please respect copyright.PENANA2okTnENv02
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.507Please respect copyright.PENANAIVZDNO45XS
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.507Please respect copyright.PENANABykRMfOvj4
"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."507Please respect copyright.PENANAShKyHmzO4i
"You know you're not 507Please respect copyright.PENANAJauXAUuWuO
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking507Please respect copyright.PENANAaolgsG4jET
for help. You never change, Angel."507Please respect copyright.PENANAcWW4NOunyM
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."507Please respect copyright.PENANACh2442H3CX
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAoRIBLHGJMl
"No thanks, I'm fine."507Please respect copyright.PENANAKssByrmLvb
Angel went on to look at507Please respect copyright.PENANAyAKOtC8YRr
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and507Please respect copyright.PENANA01tO4HhZ6m
then she went on to stare at Carly.507Please respect copyright.PENANAJZJWIQLnpb
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgpvmoYVIu2
Carly paused as she 507Please respect copyright.PENANAMkKKdfDcLi
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister507Please respect copyright.PENANAqlLyCgigqx
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 507Please respect copyright.PENANAqIhgsEOMh1
Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3QwkAyyzs
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."507Please respect copyright.PENANARdZBUrym7E
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 507Please respect copyright.PENANAuAf2tyAwfK
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 507Please respect copyright.PENANAIMzQVhWnxH
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 507Please respect copyright.PENANAkAbvszAvom
hurt or anything."507Please respect copyright.PENANAGWF6XsYXu9
"May you please drag me 507Please respect copyright.PENANARTj0bBaf1T
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 507Please respect copyright.PENANAwUkODXBjnw
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.507Please respect copyright.PENANA7t1k6ssRGY
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.507Please respect copyright.PENANAHtNOr6L4eW
"Just like Carly said, 507Please respect copyright.PENANAqhfXhYQN1j
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 507Please respect copyright.PENANAX3ZVZQLbS6
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.507Please respect copyright.PENANAAdgXWzaHMI
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."507Please respect copyright.PENANAppvEZ7TtIh
The room soon had an 507Please respect copyright.PENANAxVAVH6CfqK
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 507Please respect copyright.PENANAi29hHeW1qN
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 507Please respect copyright.PENANARK1mLXt9aF
awkwardness.507Please respect copyright.PENANAETAoBVrJ4B
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANAGdMXn5az6f
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."507Please respect copyright.PENANA5CEI08o1hR
"Sure."507Please respect copyright.PENANASt2oZlrmSj
Leo stared at Carly 507Please respect copyright.PENANAwW1Fpznn4s
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 507Please respect copyright.PENANANJ6ERxP3Vw
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 507Please respect copyright.PENANA66Ru7fP27V
avoid any more problems.507Please respect copyright.PENANANiWieXZxJQ
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.507Please respect copyright.PENANAvZYhpcFJrq
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.507Please respect copyright.PENANAR1JvW7WfLv
"Tea would be lovely, 507Please respect copyright.PENANALyJoPgknSE
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 507Please respect copyright.PENANArmf6aFR42d
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 507Please respect copyright.PENANAhV6jaKmUCD
could have helped you."507Please respect copyright.PENANAgNqjW5H336
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.507Please respect copyright.PENANAessqpvd7xc
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."507Please respect copyright.PENANA48wQ2578Ru
Carly gladly smiled at 507Please respect copyright.PENANAeTXipa5W07
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 507Please respect copyright.PENANAnNMgX75tbK
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 507Please respect copyright.PENANAdibnBXZMps
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 507Please respect copyright.PENANAISEdmpnOWH
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?507Please respect copyright.PENANAuEa0yeYkCI
And Leo? It was strange 507Please respect copyright.PENANAod0hIbBman
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 507Please respect copyright.PENANAqa2wV4xxh4
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 507Please respect copyright.PENANAaRhMAgZ6El
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.507Please respect copyright.PENANA6QhLUCqUn4
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.507Please respect copyright.PENANAqcGzLxDslJ
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.507Please respect copyright.PENANAnm3CN0Kh8c
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.507Please respect copyright.PENANAicZ4mg9Mxr
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"507Please respect copyright.PENANATf9xJuOiwd
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."507Please respect copyright.PENANA8RKaN0UYGW
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAJ24qK9aaYk
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."507Please respect copyright.PENANAwzAadWZUU2
While Amanda and Angel 507Please respect copyright.PENANAuxF6aXHYCl
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 507Please respect copyright.PENANAna8Tu2T2Xq
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared507Please respect copyright.PENANAONgJbJaN74
at the door.507Please respect copyright.PENANAikqcgPmlX6
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.507Please respect copyright.PENANA3XptklpdP6
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."507Please respect copyright.PENANAFoanpbRR71
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."507Please respect copyright.PENANADmeHuGMbA0
"No, she didn't." Carly 507Please respect copyright.PENANAhbrkL37rKt
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 507Please respect copyright.PENANARAi0le3DWO
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 507Please respect copyright.PENANAjuzsgqRrdW
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 507Please respect copyright.PENANAy2VyT3pwIu
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."507Please respect copyright.PENANABbSvL3jyVY
"I don't care about 507Please respect copyright.PENANAuvuC811fIi
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from507Please respect copyright.PENANAqmp3Qp2V2y
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 507Please respect copyright.PENANAWlkwztsPbt
are real."507Please respect copyright.PENANAzrJECATpZW
Carly smiled and she 507Please respect copyright.PENANAmgxkdWtCoA
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 507Please respect copyright.PENANAXKxuUScIM1
that she didn't want him to let her go.507Please respect copyright.PENANAFKzHM71wP3
She quickly turned 507Please respect copyright.PENANAqbWhsd07vR
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 507Please respect copyright.PENANACDSJj2QIY3
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 507Please respect copyright.PENANAUn3QPMtkSc
They would freak out."507Please respect copyright.PENANAJbvmJTaBG1
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.507Please respect copyright.PENANAWdiJqwmKej
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."507Please respect copyright.PENANALIMeU3VFhR
Leo continued to look 507Please respect copyright.PENANA4FDeYA7Unw
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 507Please respect copyright.PENANASis5WIjV01
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.507Please respect copyright.PENANAza2AdtRvOi
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."507Please respect copyright.PENANAvNc6I98Baf
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"507Please respect copyright.PENANATWvB8WSgmR
"What's going on here?"507Please respect copyright.PENANA9vPC4G88fV
Leo and Carly almost 507Please respect copyright.PENANATCsJf92uFD
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a507Please respect copyright.PENANAP3DY84oyUP
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with507Please respect copyright.PENANA66i5RtXqn3
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.507Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHxSbPjch
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAeEBO3xtcsd
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."507Please respect copyright.PENANABAymxlLAc9
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.507Please respect copyright.PENANAUSlO1TC7WJ
"For Amanda and Angel."507Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4sYpr6xoB
"They are both awake?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAFXefAzwjjD
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."507Please respect copyright.PENANAkWRIAglmZS
Mrs McDonell looked at 507Please respect copyright.PENANAwz7GgM6y79
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 507Please respect copyright.PENANAGABwevYw7o
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 507Please respect copyright.PENANAyQl83MKgrP
off.507Please respect copyright.PENANAIxBiplxkUZ
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.507Please respect copyright.PENANAAH9bh05A0G
Carly took the tray 507Please respect copyright.PENANAiXpVpiMfjH
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 507Please respect copyright.PENANApYcvXasIVn
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 507Please respect copyright.PENANAY1HhCFHEeN
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAWsymeDFwXa
corner.507Please respect copyright.PENANAXXU6N07mZ2
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."507Please respect copyright.PENANAAeRgXe8RVI
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.507Please respect copyright.PENANASOb7tDrTPb
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."507Please respect copyright.PENANAJw4gon833T
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."507Please respect copyright.PENANASgJlaHDg6U
Leo made his way to the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAslNc7nCOj6
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 507Please respect copyright.PENANAJWo9BULMX3
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANAnmAYMEXvmv
By seven, almost 507Please respect copyright.PENANAE25dqpyCBa
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAA7g8Sl12D1
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 507Please respect copyright.PENANA7WwHqJzL8H
the lovely smell was intoxicating.507Please respect copyright.PENANALN6xuG6YFN
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"507Please respect copyright.PENANAvLACextOww
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 507Please respect copyright.PENANAkYxNtWeYdS
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 507Please respect copyright.PENANABJs7V5IgjF
time to go to school.507Please respect copyright.PENANAWL37x0Ss5W
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.507Please respect copyright.PENANASurAU405ZS
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAQFmI2P7AkJ
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."507Please respect copyright.PENANAYY2naAuJKy
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.507Please respect copyright.PENANAQpOrTBDWO4
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.507Please respect copyright.PENANA8XxvnOzuHv
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.507Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xg50jOfgH
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANARtd6qWfZvF
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAdtlkEAVuE8
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."507Please respect copyright.PENANAY5ka0NXPYp
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.507Please respect copyright.PENANALZ8TPkiizF
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 507Please respect copyright.PENANAY1yEVahy1X
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and507Please respect copyright.PENANA08JGjPhFyc
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 507Please respect copyright.PENANA36Ckkzr5Cf
them.507Please respect copyright.PENANALfBUY7q1EM
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.507Please respect copyright.PENANA4rwoniUaal
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.507Please respect copyright.PENANAuHcZmCuHmo
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."507Please respect copyright.PENANAOFLnrNBbV0
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.507Please respect copyright.PENANAvAHc0RdZs9
"Right," Leo replied.507Please respect copyright.PENANATL6KX5ZsuU
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANArK4QoQEOhs
Just as they were about 507Please respect copyright.PENANAboNOPAP3YT
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 507Please respect copyright.PENANA8SCCFXtiVm
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 507Please respect copyright.PENANA9Epw6HR4pH
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.507Please respect copyright.PENANAqss5CUwz1v
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.507Please respect copyright.PENANAa34MWMMzfN
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.507Please respect copyright.PENANADMYcP4gGJe
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."507Please respect copyright.PENANAHLgLSFc85r
Before Leo could reply 507Please respect copyright.PENANA7YrUVUrhrO
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 507Please respect copyright.PENANAw782ZYYfHm
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 507Please respect copyright.PENANAFZiLRAqH16
looked away feeling irritated.507Please respect copyright.PENANADMBD9KIwT2
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANAOreA6goj6m
Everyone else on the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAwRk0aTwDbx
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 507Please respect copyright.PENANAmWaPZpUKAV
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 507Please respect copyright.PENANAYdlrKS8m1U
except Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANAclZok9yAV5
"This is just lovely," 507Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cvpdpp9WC
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 507Please respect copyright.PENANAARN45CegJ3
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 507Please respect copyright.PENANA9BP63IHuTh
really early."507Please respect copyright.PENANAcpBICfuvA4
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."507Please respect copyright.PENANAjDrW7rm86i
"Your wife isn't here, 507Please respect copyright.PENANA6lJUQY1egF
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 507Please respect copyright.PENANACj96EAQuDf
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."507Please respect copyright.PENANAq2nsH8x9R2
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.507Please respect copyright.PENANAZNvIr4GJ2K
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.507Please respect copyright.PENANAGVfvaVEWMe
Angel almost spelt the 507Please respect copyright.PENANA7p1hfs4bVl
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.507Please respect copyright.PENANAyDOi35q6cJ
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other507Please respect copyright.PENANAPuYFScevuq
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 507Please respect copyright.PENANAKACpprsN8L
just ran a hand through his hair.507Please respect copyright.PENANAfElnX85Eyj
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.507Please respect copyright.PENANALorN8kYHD2
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.507Please respect copyright.PENANA36FGUvpwL3
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."507Please respect copyright.PENANAyoVnqgPzZJ
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.507Please respect copyright.PENANACRmyFwcRLF
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."507Please respect copyright.PENANA7PLh0vznkY
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."507Please respect copyright.PENANAQfz5zO2w6p
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.507Please respect copyright.PENANAZHwCNszPph
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.507Please respect copyright.PENANArdQVrzJHaK
"Have to go to school," he said.507Please respect copyright.PENANAW8hmGrZqOm
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.507Please respect copyright.PENANAmDOfhFdrBL
Oliver came round the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAAj00nPxrTB
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 507Please respect copyright.PENANAP6Zl4u2gpY
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 507Please respect copyright.PENANA4pGESrU0VI
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 507Please respect copyright.PENANAvwCI3fzhXi
ears.507Please respect copyright.PENANAlANudNzlBX
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.507Please respect copyright.PENANAXSCfIM5qR2
"So adorable," said Carly.507Please respect copyright.PENANALh77YJ07gH
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.507Please respect copyright.PENANALR6J2nncQj
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."507Please respect copyright.PENANAVyJks7J8Bx
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."507Please respect copyright.PENANAXMSkGE8QGB
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."507Please respect copyright.PENANAmOnxecaLMt
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAozF2yEI6ms
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.507Please respect copyright.PENANAhqw3nwjqcS
"Well, I do."507Please respect copyright.PENANAkRRG39ZugI
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."507Please respect copyright.PENANA0t9f9CYi8F
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.507Please respect copyright.PENANAfMkgjIM96W
"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."507Please respect copyright.PENANAnLsvD9XYBL
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgiGim96nW2
"I'll find you in the 507Please respect copyright.PENANA9KgjVjZjBQ
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 507Please respect copyright.PENANAXszRQ9Fg6M
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.507Please respect copyright.PENANAcfZe8zeslP
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgjggXEbcLi
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.507Please respect copyright.PENANAZpuyPMqolj
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."507Please respect copyright.PENANANqxQqTHWId
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."507Please respect copyright.PENANAOV01lHSKjV
"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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAfGKHY3nt2y
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.507Please respect copyright.PENANAsbD5AJ1EJg
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.507Please respect copyright.PENANAV7OXFnTeIs
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.507Please respect copyright.PENANAbyMkaoTvNl
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAbmhRQ335mD
Before Carly could 507Please respect copyright.PENANAqnPx28mzca
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 507Please respect copyright.PENANAVNcGyleBpp
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 507Please respect copyright.PENANAAxsUwpk4jO
interested about what her sister was up to.507Please respect copyright.PENANAOlka8o3Imd
"I'll join you," said 507Please respect copyright.PENANAIcbvwDW5K5
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures507Please respect copyright.PENANA4oOjgc4Ipd
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."507Please respect copyright.PENANAoIxOPZ8DKF
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."507Please respect copyright.PENANAPz3IvugWFx
"I'll go get ready," 507Please respect copyright.PENANAXuLaKWG4GV
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 507Please respect copyright.PENANAhkxVDqfHhn
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 507Please respect copyright.PENANApxyVW51brL
times.507Please respect copyright.PENANA6cGsod2cjl
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.507Please respect copyright.PENANApzYsCNAiVX
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgi3FLTpdGJ
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."507Please respect copyright.PENANAvP3EnzxW5H
The last thing Leo 507Please respect copyright.PENANA8TLoadG2UB
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 507Please respect copyright.PENANAIaLP4orcc3
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.507Please respect copyright.PENANAZCasuuCHII
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgtDtScwiMd
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."507Please respect copyright.PENANAO3G53SRIwB
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.507Please respect copyright.PENANA2mAOtQGhmK
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.507Please respect copyright.PENANAufim5kmBZU
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."507Please respect copyright.PENANAuBJsrrHMlY
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.507Please respect copyright.PENANAQdosSbwkbx
"Yes. It's really 507Please respect copyright.PENANA2xuZNPZBOs
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk507Please respect copyright.PENANAl0pn2nkPFP
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 507Please respect copyright.PENANAv2v4RI7GPc
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 507Please respect copyright.PENANA8uZIkz5Kfh
since I'm so old."507Please respect copyright.PENANAz7OCyLvShT
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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAXZgMn4yYg8
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.507Please respect copyright.PENANAKZJ9IylwvD
"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?"507Please respect copyright.PENANAvkFQ96Q7eg
Leo sighed. He looked 507Please respect copyright.PENANAEAXlqJjzma
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife507Please respect copyright.PENANAHBk5humQNv
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 507Please respect copyright.PENANA9p2kQkjQTe
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.507Please respect copyright.PENANA86JWu0LUWL
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."507Please respect copyright.PENANANH3kMVGvRo
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
