The phone alarm woke Leo915Please respect copyright.PENANAY1HKQCK6At
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on915Please respect copyright.PENANAFwsFkOInZS
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 915Please respect copyright.PENANANu6r1DrECa
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 915Please respect copyright.PENANA5RwolqFWft
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 915Please respect copyright.PENANA9QSoL1CD6o
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAhHDhdujJXu
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 915Please respect copyright.PENANAoEfk1O1tl4
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 915Please respect copyright.PENANAwjVGSxpFz4
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.915Please respect copyright.PENANAofv9nW1W1n
After taking a shower, 915Please respect copyright.PENANAup9lhSDSiS
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the915Please respect copyright.PENANAN7DHVE61ep
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 915Please respect copyright.PENANAbp9whsmNDC
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 915Please respect copyright.PENANAC2TtPKJoF2
ever. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAxR2Bq5HeHh
He soon went out of his 915Please respect copyright.PENANA17tNfbw2pK
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 915Please respect copyright.PENANAhpRWcpMTO7
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was915Please respect copyright.PENANAhrTf8AalCG
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind915Please respect copyright.PENANAVvmKZgiiya
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 915Please respect copyright.PENANAH6vA7RgRL0
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 915Please respect copyright.PENANA0bmgWb2YJX
him.915Please respect copyright.PENANAatTa3bLOH7
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAKkHttqIKeg
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.915Please respect copyright.PENANAU9ezVFYu0i
"Don't ruin the mood by 915Please respect copyright.PENANAYTH3Oq2U1j
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAtyCcJkGiY4
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."915Please respect copyright.PENANAQF0aBhbGxA
Leo smiled as he 915Please respect copyright.PENANAqKi8vAVPig
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 915Please respect copyright.PENANATIgD7Hg0pk
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAwJKFwLASb5
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.915Please respect copyright.PENANAogrI94zT8w
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 915Please respect copyright.PENANA8FUjINKyAu
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 915Please respect copyright.PENANA5xRo6uDdFb
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.915Please respect copyright.PENANAgb3ZKBUiU2
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."915Please respect copyright.PENANAEEttizEMdS
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.915Please respect copyright.PENANAzG0iEPu2rj
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."915Please respect copyright.PENANA3buQQOvgnJ
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAjlcX0fXaWf
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.915Please respect copyright.PENANAGXTtrD5dOu
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."915Please respect copyright.PENANAbZD4AGUwBu
"She is, actually," said915Please respect copyright.PENANAZRXMobtkPu
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 915Please respect copyright.PENANAnz4yzAD9u4
anything to you. You have me around."915Please respect copyright.PENANA9dd3UzbGpK
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."915Please respect copyright.PENANAU4EWtQsK5h
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAIw7fTtEzhq
Before Carly could say 915Please respect copyright.PENANAUR62L6CKtP
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAbGLlTdY2MR
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.915Please respect copyright.PENANAD3w0OJSxl0
"What was that?" Leo asked.915Please respect copyright.PENANADEuB2014Du
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.915Please respect copyright.PENANAgwdDd7Q6b4
Carly got to Angel's 915Please respect copyright.PENANA3X2s6CGSzg
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down915Please respect copyright.PENANA3gTxJzwtab
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her915Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7MqtKeZrO
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.915Please respect copyright.PENANAQZzLXUhXpE
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.915Please respect copyright.PENANAsbeOGyuywz
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.915Please respect copyright.PENANAh74igrGJPr
"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."915Please respect copyright.PENANAjdxDAqxNGK
"You know you're not 915Please respect copyright.PENANAKcc0gnP2Lw
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking915Please respect copyright.PENANAJRQ85jrnDa
for help. You never change, Angel."915Please respect copyright.PENANAwPgs0sRqLI
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."915Please respect copyright.PENANA4kjKplNG8T
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"915Please respect copyright.PENANADqySNdF5oG
"No thanks, I'm fine."915Please respect copyright.PENANAtT1UaOtQwi
Angel went on to look at915Please respect copyright.PENANADzlQHLlchM
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and915Please respect copyright.PENANAYDjObtqN7k
then she went on to stare at Carly.915Please respect copyright.PENANArvkIcYBi43
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.915Please respect copyright.PENANAzKq1SNaOFZ
Carly paused as she 915Please respect copyright.PENANAi09BX93PIP
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister915Please respect copyright.PENANAFF8gaKOk4S
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 915Please respect copyright.PENANALhRyTAdR2H
Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANA6C78Acyeyc
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."915Please respect copyright.PENANAfAmHyO5oHL
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 915Please respect copyright.PENANApJM06wmcxi
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 915Please respect copyright.PENANAqXao31EpEe
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 915Please respect copyright.PENANAX0yiB8H90r
hurt or anything."915Please respect copyright.PENANAAjLXe83aPc
"May you please drag me 915Please respect copyright.PENANA2tBTTLwOfd
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 915Please respect copyright.PENANAsvcj5AOGpE
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.915Please respect copyright.PENANAyClqEtFsEC
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.915Please respect copyright.PENANAdiGx5qryUC
"Just like Carly said, 915Please respect copyright.PENANApLLu8pce7V
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 915Please respect copyright.PENANAiKxKSD5U6C
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.915Please respect copyright.PENANAagNflnh6wc
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."915Please respect copyright.PENANAtgNXa2PZB3
The room soon had an 915Please respect copyright.PENANA9PojnnAjva
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 915Please respect copyright.PENANAVFaqMzVPGQ
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAjXMgQHl6Rw
awkwardness.915Please respect copyright.PENANAbJU7qiPM3N
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANAJpWBBMgQZA
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."915Please respect copyright.PENANAySVSzwsRb6
"Sure."915Please respect copyright.PENANAfC9cfzk8BV
Leo stared at Carly 915Please respect copyright.PENANA6kM5lvAMLb
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 915Please respect copyright.PENANA7trAvMM2Vj
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 915Please respect copyright.PENANANqPdwQ3uHo
avoid any more problems.915Please respect copyright.PENANAQIKuoSnQAR
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.915Please respect copyright.PENANAcF9nyfzoxx
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.915Please respect copyright.PENANAYCqWucx6Wa
"Tea would be lovely, 915Please respect copyright.PENANAEcKt5tlEZH
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 915Please respect copyright.PENANANsRUyf9DXx
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 915Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6F6Gg47o6
could have helped you."915Please respect copyright.PENANACJEM7r0i6N
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.915Please respect copyright.PENANAXj7g9lvuqV
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."915Please respect copyright.PENANA1uAo4reKuA
Carly gladly smiled at 915Please respect copyright.PENANAFIkfVGdtnp
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAwLEuVTKs65
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 915Please respect copyright.PENANAdPQFUB4pPM
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 915Please respect copyright.PENANAxb7vj9izkb
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?915Please respect copyright.PENANAjmn56WrqHx
And Leo? It was strange 915Please respect copyright.PENANAsyQPJ86FZv
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 915Please respect copyright.PENANAP123NSFTUO
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 915Please respect copyright.PENANAQp92URs0lO
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.915Please respect copyright.PENANAusPWjjKNis
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.915Please respect copyright.PENANAu6YpigWhf1
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.915Please respect copyright.PENANAqlvRWSXfD6
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.915Please respect copyright.PENANALd8Zj9YdXq
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAkKgY5mvnar
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."915Please respect copyright.PENANAhW1WFayydW
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAiTHpqfiwnJ
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."915Please respect copyright.PENANAqR3xipXEMb
While Amanda and Angel 915Please respect copyright.PENANAUKQ5xw0Wku
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 915Please respect copyright.PENANAscp1f1Wm74
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared915Please respect copyright.PENANA1RjlaFMcNb
at the door.915Please respect copyright.PENANAQUkrmpR2Jl
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.915Please respect copyright.PENANA8SU7YqO9C7
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."915Please respect copyright.PENANAx6jvOvNBQn
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."915Please respect copyright.PENANAxtm1Y4rfBq
"No, she didn't." Carly 915Please respect copyright.PENANA91HKUFazu2
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 915Please respect copyright.PENANAbNcVwuXULu
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 915Please respect copyright.PENANAonyzpnjUBi
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 915Please respect copyright.PENANAy8CcxHgy9m
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."915Please respect copyright.PENANAJk4K8QM52f
"I don't care about 915Please respect copyright.PENANAo38V38WrCd
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from915Please respect copyright.PENANAZFw5FQPajs
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 915Please respect copyright.PENANA7qokysgfPi
are real."915Please respect copyright.PENANAusFFM6RR2N
Carly smiled and she 915Please respect copyright.PENANAoBkZz8oWG8
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 915Please respect copyright.PENANABjVoS7B80y
that she didn't want him to let her go.915Please respect copyright.PENANAmyxtmfIckx
She quickly turned 915Please respect copyright.PENANA1fKKyJoSFN
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAhbi3qCDdKK
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 915Please respect copyright.PENANAajj5Mqhv7E
They would freak out."915Please respect copyright.PENANA58yC15PBz4
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.915Please respect copyright.PENANAhUQbLQ0FFf
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."915Please respect copyright.PENANABDX3HOggRe
Leo continued to look 915Please respect copyright.PENANAv2QJ4U7Itj
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 915Please respect copyright.PENANA9j5S4YS5RM
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.915Please respect copyright.PENANAzG5LpnKcQd
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."915Please respect copyright.PENANAeLYjnPweku
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"915Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Dr0llJEz
"What's going on here?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAiziPl1fGSh
Leo and Carly almost 915Please respect copyright.PENANAsGgvJFyrgU
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a915Please respect copyright.PENANAeMIwoT9ru5
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with915Please respect copyright.PENANA4MaY4ssIhZ
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.915Please respect copyright.PENANAk5osP12Z0K
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAXF4XphA0Ni
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."915Please respect copyright.PENANA7ksr5hBdnr
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.915Please respect copyright.PENANAY1jfx5Pdnw
"For Amanda and Angel."915Please respect copyright.PENANAPkvKu9QxIM
"They are both awake?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAfwAGsj2q2f
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."915Please respect copyright.PENANAjhyMzwC7KU
Mrs McDonell looked at 915Please respect copyright.PENANA4072iorq5b
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 915Please respect copyright.PENANASz2rOljsus
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 915Please respect copyright.PENANALA5LvxTgA6
off.915Please respect copyright.PENANABNNhTvQf2i
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.915Please respect copyright.PENANAqZelykTrxA
Carly took the tray 915Please respect copyright.PENANAgXearJ6z9H
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAgncrzG65C3
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 915Please respect copyright.PENANAhoxgOtP80X
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAi2AO8kadpY
corner.915Please respect copyright.PENANAUVrlm0xgIS
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."915Please respect copyright.PENANARVHZdFdvWO
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.915Please respect copyright.PENANAjxq9CocZPE
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."915Please respect copyright.PENANAdyYlRYfbIM
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."915Please respect copyright.PENANAb62gVitFlI
Leo made his way to the 915Please respect copyright.PENANA86cb69yHMT
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 915Please respect copyright.PENANABAakgpNcTF
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANAHgSJRtQ1Vq
By seven, almost 915Please respect copyright.PENANAyylbQpjjKR
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAICOzcOkFGF
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 915Please respect copyright.PENANAYbOHBos4QC
the lovely smell was intoxicating.915Please respect copyright.PENANAa1mSU7wNju
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"915Please respect copyright.PENANAVvwyVY4hKA
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 915Please respect copyright.PENANAv8uyUCEF4E
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 915Please respect copyright.PENANA6lsOAjDNdp
time to go to school.915Please respect copyright.PENANApiXJIJWZtO
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.915Please respect copyright.PENANAtveWGMlCNX
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAzedYCjyXbo
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."915Please respect copyright.PENANAD2xSk8bufk
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.915Please respect copyright.PENANActCBgZZugw
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.915Please respect copyright.PENANAmq6TuaEvvU
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.915Please respect copyright.PENANAuwGhh1Z7Ke
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANAoO2Dp7J96D
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"915Please respect copyright.PENANANnZJ7T6EJn
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."915Please respect copyright.PENANAH0CvuWEuC7
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.915Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3zHhhkGtq
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 915Please respect copyright.PENANAvpbYbPCUt6
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and915Please respect copyright.PENANA2XRNMvA3Cg
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 915Please respect copyright.PENANADqJyySPzS2
them.915Please respect copyright.PENANAlzsWQ4A2z9
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.915Please respect copyright.PENANAb6IUx5b8X3
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.915Please respect copyright.PENANAla9k8DyFar
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."915Please respect copyright.PENANAYzHCOgjLK8
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.915Please respect copyright.PENANAyJl6ZB7ssZ
"Right," Leo replied.915Please respect copyright.PENANASKZknZnlqj
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.915Please respect copyright.PENANAVX5JxGFRWg
Just as they were about 915Please respect copyright.PENANAfIT6xTD6pO
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 915Please respect copyright.PENANArP0bsmaXX4
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 915Please respect copyright.PENANAdBseIPq8vJ
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.915Please respect copyright.PENANApevofhlGXL
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.915Please respect copyright.PENANAgBJWZItCfm
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.915Please respect copyright.PENANABG7kqhAn7t
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."915Please respect copyright.PENANAiINtlAcYNB
Before Leo could reply 915Please respect copyright.PENANAiwRIfH9k3x
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 915Please respect copyright.PENANALMbrFKUzes
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 915Please respect copyright.PENANAEvZyCokDBH
looked away feeling irritated.915Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5mfwckZh9
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANAXPWbYhdmzf
Everyone else on the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAarnZXSHjY0
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 915Please respect copyright.PENANAtjQNA0c3Gl
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 915Please respect copyright.PENANApnXyiMkIGp
except Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANAnJGcA4NJAL
"This is just lovely," 915Please respect copyright.PENANA6tZdAP0aN2
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 915Please respect copyright.PENANAiVHfbupwNE
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 915Please respect copyright.PENANARMJGOF4I4m
really early."915Please respect copyright.PENANA467XD1pGOL
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."915Please respect copyright.PENANALSrwqJbSLu
"Your wife isn't here, 915Please respect copyright.PENANAYPRZc1YR51
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 915Please respect copyright.PENANA1LI4uMf7GQ
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."915Please respect copyright.PENANAAy7hGfbmLj
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.915Please respect copyright.PENANAOCzNQLFDHg
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.915Please respect copyright.PENANAVFoGLI0cBs
Angel almost spelt the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAetfkaYbPS1
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.915Please respect copyright.PENANAUsBQ8UexgY
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other915Please respect copyright.PENANA4SOAAjt4kx
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 915Please respect copyright.PENANAOKFoN5Lk6b
just ran a hand through his hair.915Please respect copyright.PENANAw1E19VHOWG
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.915Please respect copyright.PENANA3gGzQyl32Q
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.915Please respect copyright.PENANAtD1UdljTme
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."915Please respect copyright.PENANAssMaqfEqvv
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.915Please respect copyright.PENANAr4odZABZqB
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."915Please respect copyright.PENANALMo8CZBQpW
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."915Please respect copyright.PENANA3oUH18LWLz
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.915Please respect copyright.PENANAYTWjiNSso8
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.915Please respect copyright.PENANAmuUGDeOUVC
"Have to go to school," he said.915Please respect copyright.PENANAELt9oa9NTa
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.915Please respect copyright.PENANA0St98NOSf5
Oliver came round the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAPXQXetEtAK
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 915Please respect copyright.PENANAZmIsO3x17t
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 915Please respect copyright.PENANAMmdaPAH7qk
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 915Please respect copyright.PENANAEzPFWfM2wl
ears.915Please respect copyright.PENANArqGwNPNXW9
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.915Please respect copyright.PENANAfuKQ6keIpV
"So adorable," said Carly.915Please respect copyright.PENANAct5VmzIsIB
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.915Please respect copyright.PENANAK2ro836HQB
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."915Please respect copyright.PENANA53eFvHit8N
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."915Please respect copyright.PENANA7z2kPy7f8I
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."915Please respect copyright.PENANAMqAPACWXEE
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"915Please respect copyright.PENANA11Oi9ggLal
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.915Please respect copyright.PENANAHpxsMXyymF
"Well, I do."915Please respect copyright.PENANAy3u4DknBE8
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."915Please respect copyright.PENANAzun7GWZm9W
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.915Please respect copyright.PENANAw9i89hA2LH
"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."915Please respect copyright.PENANACt71BfWfbZ
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.915Please respect copyright.PENANAYXErc7e3LL
"I'll find you in the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAelUaaDI8ac
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 915Please respect copyright.PENANAIujscE8hH9
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.915Please respect copyright.PENANA9rDcdnzZzL
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.915Please respect copyright.PENANA7BRNovDvtR
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.915Please respect copyright.PENANAIcPhdJIY3O
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."915Please respect copyright.PENANA8eCYfz4jMh
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."915Please respect copyright.PENANARGPZsGciVC
"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.915Please respect copyright.PENANATNgnihDS6y
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.915Please respect copyright.PENANAkuEjDmcfHG
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.915Please respect copyright.PENANAFgA9ytBUEO
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.915Please respect copyright.PENANAnlylLGOa1K
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"915Please respect copyright.PENANAfv0YXJObw7
Before Carly could 915Please respect copyright.PENANAvgMqaupOrH
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAxI4IvVF98A
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 915Please respect copyright.PENANA4QmvjfUB27
interested about what her sister was up to.915Please respect copyright.PENANAa1pRPfXV0f
"I'll join you," said 915Please respect copyright.PENANAEGkn6nupgc
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures915Please respect copyright.PENANAE2ySA72ngq
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."915Please respect copyright.PENANALOZJv8aSAo
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."915Please respect copyright.PENANALd94ZADGoH
"I'll go get ready," 915Please respect copyright.PENANAOPp0UfVFeQ
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 915Please respect copyright.PENANARVfv6hv8H0
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 915Please respect copyright.PENANAtHxmbfkg6P
times.915Please respect copyright.PENANAHwkfC6UzRO
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.915Please respect copyright.PENANACN6Wx6k55Z
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.915Please respect copyright.PENANA5PCX0gL9dL
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."915Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ybLbP1Pd
The last thing Leo 915Please respect copyright.PENANABHeKivZDdB
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 915Please respect copyright.PENANAfVfQ8li1Lp
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.915Please respect copyright.PENANAyvdcIFp9T3
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.915Please respect copyright.PENANA6iucWrRSS7
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."915Please respect copyright.PENANAgJvHdviQ5x
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.915Please respect copyright.PENANAN8qYUxvh5x
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.915Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ6WFeCZgs
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."915Please respect copyright.PENANAGIj1n6OBKZ
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.915Please respect copyright.PENANA2OnaHzSUrl
"Yes. It's really 915Please respect copyright.PENANALJTBNaaeZz
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk915Please respect copyright.PENANAN8tj9vsfMZ
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 915Please respect copyright.PENANAu7bOuyvBdi
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 915Please respect copyright.PENANALxoUD2osNQ
since I'm so old."915Please respect copyright.PENANA2YyEAHIVjP
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.915Please respect copyright.PENANA6deIDalESd
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.915Please respect copyright.PENANAzSEvnVA6Sf
"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?"915Please respect copyright.PENANA9thlJ4fJMJ
Leo sighed. He looked 915Please respect copyright.PENANAP26IMXv0qD
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife915Please respect copyright.PENANAFXUoKNhY22
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 915Please respect copyright.PENANAx2MXYaycEU
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.915Please respect copyright.PENANAQgS8TrN2Ji
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."915Please respect copyright.PENANAYSYNVVYqn7
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
