The phone alarm woke Leo927Please respect copyright.PENANAAzfyQjjNkO
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on927Please respect copyright.PENANAdlqFuglkyy
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 927Please respect copyright.PENANAua0ewIaked
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 927Please respect copyright.PENANAGI41jULBHX
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 927Please respect copyright.PENANAGox7S7HGg4
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAAJYUM047Py
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 927Please respect copyright.PENANAGSqBRllHC2
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 927Please respect copyright.PENANAwnO2B6kPU3
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.927Please respect copyright.PENANAtnjTWu00d8
After taking a shower, 927Please respect copyright.PENANA7jOtcnj3Iv
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the927Please respect copyright.PENANAtSifLTkgJ4
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 927Please respect copyright.PENANA68UXVm9D6v
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 927Please respect copyright.PENANAdbdaFOGfCs
ever. 927Please respect copyright.PENANA0eNwmc4lrg
He soon went out of his 927Please respect copyright.PENANA4SSWESlYye
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 927Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ4zyz06rK
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was927Please respect copyright.PENANAoZUAoXEDu8
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind927Please respect copyright.PENANAs6teAg2qZk
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 927Please respect copyright.PENANAxv5tsstoy7
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 927Please respect copyright.PENANASNbdsKQfne
him.927Please respect copyright.PENANAGusk4UnmYe
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 927Please respect copyright.PENANAltLFfaOovt
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.927Please respect copyright.PENANAMW1YVwUkb5
"Don't ruin the mood by 927Please respect copyright.PENANAa9JHjpFRLh
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 927Please respect copyright.PENANAnYyGcVr8NG
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."927Please respect copyright.PENANAjYhHCxAnTk
Leo smiled as he 927Please respect copyright.PENANADqndFPofaY
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 927Please respect copyright.PENANANtmlWz5YvU
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 927Please respect copyright.PENANAw1TAaMxsMj
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.927Please respect copyright.PENANADnE1ia60gw
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 927Please respect copyright.PENANAkdDJ5KZyF0
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 927Please respect copyright.PENANAlYlNp5KNhu
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.927Please respect copyright.PENANAfjt275qlHp
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."927Please respect copyright.PENANApxIrs7wSbd
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.927Please respect copyright.PENANAYaRJPeB5Aj
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."927Please respect copyright.PENANAWdqGC7JbHJ
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAx7JP6fmTZG
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.927Please respect copyright.PENANAV9r8ZRGr5A
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."927Please respect copyright.PENANAHY7nWs7ETQ
"She is, actually," said927Please respect copyright.PENANAU3wIagPiDy
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 927Please respect copyright.PENANAimJRq4ZjJG
anything to you. You have me around."927Please respect copyright.PENANAhdXAvzkqtu
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."927Please respect copyright.PENANAbfRApTIBIt
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAOhMw14SEaB
Before Carly could say 927Please respect copyright.PENANAucFDp0IwO7
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 927Please respect copyright.PENANA4hmpEUQvu1
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.927Please respect copyright.PENANAGYZlaxelju
"What was that?" Leo asked.927Please respect copyright.PENANAR9aECNXfeO
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.927Please respect copyright.PENANAC0ztPteojP
Carly got to Angel's 927Please respect copyright.PENANAgOtuuF4gbk
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down927Please respect copyright.PENANAEQIxODdC7l
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her927Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Zzq8ovIM
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.927Please respect copyright.PENANA6yNpZdhMmD
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.927Please respect copyright.PENANAnLr0FwW7YN
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.927Please respect copyright.PENANAlh2Bls3rYp
"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."927Please respect copyright.PENANAmRV0yCFCJG
"You know you're not 927Please respect copyright.PENANAt0I0UDEdrU
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking927Please respect copyright.PENANAMLScAYqgaO
for help. You never change, Angel."927Please respect copyright.PENANAGkj9GyPYrn
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."927Please respect copyright.PENANAVUGukf4MfZ
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"927Please respect copyright.PENANA6cCq2ot5z4
"No thanks, I'm fine."927Please respect copyright.PENANAjzVDkExWsN
Angel went on to look at927Please respect copyright.PENANALHmEJy9YFV
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and927Please respect copyright.PENANAQkaH8GBYHb
then she went on to stare at Carly.927Please respect copyright.PENANAi8rirQ1uOW
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.927Please respect copyright.PENANA4JWFuXVUtZ
Carly paused as she 927Please respect copyright.PENANAXCthdcZBFt
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister927Please respect copyright.PENANAA8gwnycMTq
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 927Please respect copyright.PENANAbwN0T1QXT4
Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANAqkRmM1DIen
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."927Please respect copyright.PENANAPpZwLTSvfa
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 927Please respect copyright.PENANAolka8C1rXN
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 927Please respect copyright.PENANA1uGgDoVNSO
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 927Please respect copyright.PENANAZMwIHHitkr
hurt or anything."927Please respect copyright.PENANAHuvp4oBUFq
"May you please drag me 927Please respect copyright.PENANAiaOFMEBFi9
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 927Please respect copyright.PENANAHglvwY5R31
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.927Please respect copyright.PENANAU99sBNRD8x
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.927Please respect copyright.PENANAvJcznrwSy9
"Just like Carly said, 927Please respect copyright.PENANAnClN0IKNcn
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 927Please respect copyright.PENANAXkbufaVjBi
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.927Please respect copyright.PENANAbvW8vuZZXr
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."927Please respect copyright.PENANAkLSUpv8eAm
The room soon had an 927Please respect copyright.PENANAvTE5fNHl5Z
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 927Please respect copyright.PENANAjUwoSFJs4g
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAogVJG1O5LN
awkwardness.927Please respect copyright.PENANA0jW2AJEOR2
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANAjdQItjGObg
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."927Please respect copyright.PENANAZbH0fO3Cj4
"Sure."927Please respect copyright.PENANAS5sxE6j40g
Leo stared at Carly 927Please respect copyright.PENANAa4kYLY60Ow
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 927Please respect copyright.PENANA7I4HZ2S1vN
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 927Please respect copyright.PENANA6RJo3wzxbJ
avoid any more problems.927Please respect copyright.PENANAvOzPFY8iUV
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.927Please respect copyright.PENANABxSFUuqfbi
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.927Please respect copyright.PENANASL3azxx6Mi
"Tea would be lovely, 927Please respect copyright.PENANAbZyPPerg3R
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 927Please respect copyright.PENANASuyvUPi3RZ
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 927Please respect copyright.PENANAH4BIMnqHn1
could have helped you."927Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZYgAq6pUX
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.927Please respect copyright.PENANAgwVGPIYdYa
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."927Please respect copyright.PENANAxkfsdzdKO2
Carly gladly smiled at 927Please respect copyright.PENANAHcg0KdDOsp
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 927Please respect copyright.PENANAguJxlSPsjj
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 927Please respect copyright.PENANARHggGQhCJ0
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 927Please respect copyright.PENANAaRNFDSzGk8
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?927Please respect copyright.PENANAWSeUOytV7N
And Leo? It was strange 927Please respect copyright.PENANAZY2sYDbN4P
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 927Please respect copyright.PENANAIpuTXbGTNV
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 927Please respect copyright.PENANAGY4KXgkvYs
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.927Please respect copyright.PENANAvAnqqJPxxX
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.927Please respect copyright.PENANA3D3TPhaO8i
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.927Please respect copyright.PENANAd4uX0EDqp6
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.927Please respect copyright.PENANAOyHLJ79kQP
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAgLU6vhx8pp
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."927Please respect copyright.PENANAigi3I8UyPE
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"927Please respect copyright.PENANApyL1eLV0rB
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."927Please respect copyright.PENANAYiK88j6wMN
While Amanda and Angel 927Please respect copyright.PENANAPuLMxPwrGQ
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 927Please respect copyright.PENANAoFdWypZcwb
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared927Please respect copyright.PENANAwDE5R0lcOZ
at the door.927Please respect copyright.PENANA0r0J2UnO8V
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.927Please respect copyright.PENANAgGMRxGXLod
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."927Please respect copyright.PENANAtuOfkHjITs
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."927Please respect copyright.PENANAymSfhMuEkE
"No, she didn't." Carly 927Please respect copyright.PENANAhd8ly0WMbi
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 927Please respect copyright.PENANAFXgiGS54g9
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 927Please respect copyright.PENANAzUKcZl6lxL
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 927Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ak0JDjIp
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."927Please respect copyright.PENANAEuEXmtxKQH
"I don't care about 927Please respect copyright.PENANAGM656YXIve
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from927Please respect copyright.PENANAEnRW2svEHt
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 927Please respect copyright.PENANA1LpIMbzCZr
are real."927Please respect copyright.PENANAsMndXMTmSX
Carly smiled and she 927Please respect copyright.PENANAsCxFOmHhhN
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 927Please respect copyright.PENANAvQhHh1ZiZL
that she didn't want him to let her go.927Please respect copyright.PENANA9oSLuucAFR
She quickly turned 927Please respect copyright.PENANAbgbY182URQ
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAKaDYDak5Gb
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 927Please respect copyright.PENANAeCShANJmFq
They would freak out."927Please respect copyright.PENANAWG5AssBAWu
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.927Please respect copyright.PENANA9EnO6MY0ta
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."927Please respect copyright.PENANARYNSjQtL33
Leo continued to look 927Please respect copyright.PENANAiHwfc5veX0
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAAcRJMryIWv
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.927Please respect copyright.PENANABpng1zUjCd
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."927Please respect copyright.PENANAkl6xLqSWQG
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"927Please respect copyright.PENANAlKZBDpGET7
"What's going on here?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAfcSo6TsZNI
Leo and Carly almost 927Please respect copyright.PENANAvgg35RLvp7
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a927Please respect copyright.PENANAnirBqwv2n0
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with927Please respect copyright.PENANAmwkysZn4cP
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.927Please respect copyright.PENANAhCbaa5yHd8
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAFjjBLKzdFB
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."927Please respect copyright.PENANA5GtjmhAVYm
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.927Please respect copyright.PENANAWoadxjxqgz
"For Amanda and Angel."927Please respect copyright.PENANA0dS8IVXX1S
"They are both awake?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAGTPw68gCfy
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."927Please respect copyright.PENANAC6CWhfAXpy
Mrs McDonell looked at 927Please respect copyright.PENANAFEXTZkO2wZ
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 927Please respect copyright.PENANARWWeqEwZvX
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 927Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Sy1E3GY2
off.927Please respect copyright.PENANAC9l7tUdnLc
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.927Please respect copyright.PENANAwKs5gehxh7
Carly took the tray 927Please respect copyright.PENANADOMzKPfbUE
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAaj2mof0mPP
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 927Please respect copyright.PENANA9PtuuOFkya
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAcXKqERKl5s
corner.927Please respect copyright.PENANAC9kyPkgwsD
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."927Please respect copyright.PENANAkCcKhR4TBv
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.927Please respect copyright.PENANAaQwAI92f3F
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."927Please respect copyright.PENANANxMkyyiUNo
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."927Please respect copyright.PENANAofTMMD9uZm
Leo made his way to the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAfXUlQYMCCp
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 927Please respect copyright.PENANAA5fcxfxzjK
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANAFprharWs5y
By seven, almost 927Please respect copyright.PENANA4J43hEfbPM
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAvEFpJ2A1ek
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 927Please respect copyright.PENANAtDKVBsirnH
the lovely smell was intoxicating.927Please respect copyright.PENANAOhNC2EPnOC
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"927Please respect copyright.PENANAE5sxn3g4V3
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 927Please respect copyright.PENANA41WdVQKsyF
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 927Please respect copyright.PENANA3RNfpKNRTS
time to go to school.927Please respect copyright.PENANAGKOoNM0MF3
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.927Please respect copyright.PENANAcQRZa6yggH
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAetHYq2SFGS
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."927Please respect copyright.PENANAJZRjwCO5Gp
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.927Please respect copyright.PENANAXf0bIpNEDa
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.927Please respect copyright.PENANAfJPCKE2Pz2
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.927Please respect copyright.PENANArjnM51B3MK
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANATc55xgvzOR
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"927Please respect copyright.PENANA8bRRHc0tFI
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."927Please respect copyright.PENANAAXi1px06YG
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.927Please respect copyright.PENANANrEIYm5V7w
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 927Please respect copyright.PENANAXV7N264IbB
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and927Please respect copyright.PENANA2latA68dUa
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 927Please respect copyright.PENANAHbpkKxQMEX
them.927Please respect copyright.PENANAITjSX9rUQp
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.927Please respect copyright.PENANAX9eSH0TFCN
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.927Please respect copyright.PENANA0X0tvNp9nJ
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."927Please respect copyright.PENANAVBFevRYQco
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.927Please respect copyright.PENANAtjFoacQ1S4
"Right," Leo replied.927Please respect copyright.PENANAkbEuCc0jWk
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.927Please respect copyright.PENANAfu4b04qYlq
Just as they were about 927Please respect copyright.PENANAAKsukpBvyd
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 927Please respect copyright.PENANAA94uPs2sBe
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 927Please respect copyright.PENANAFzjYjquuyB
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.927Please respect copyright.PENANADhWZqVcEX5
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.927Please respect copyright.PENANAVxHBkj0nlf
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.927Please respect copyright.PENANAXOy2aq8tDv
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."927Please respect copyright.PENANAtrfgjlzR1Z
Before Leo could reply 927Please respect copyright.PENANA5GD3GnOiQV
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 927Please respect copyright.PENANAtQRz7bj6Cs
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 927Please respect copyright.PENANAqp3gynv1Us
looked away feeling irritated.927Please respect copyright.PENANAKUWPAjpkVw
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANAiTFJGwE7U5
Everyone else on the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAAV0ICd31nM
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 927Please respect copyright.PENANA8T99WJwB6C
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 927Please respect copyright.PENANAofYqEwv1Hn
except Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANAUmlHhey0d2
"This is just lovely," 927Please respect copyright.PENANAqGaBBkCKGD
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 927Please respect copyright.PENANAVs8vyMnnZG
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 927Please respect copyright.PENANAmM2Vi7ZI57
really early."927Please respect copyright.PENANAczalmYgMrl
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."927Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1P9ZETo9A
"Your wife isn't here, 927Please respect copyright.PENANAIFBjPmZjkV
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 927Please respect copyright.PENANAvVGRmBPJpt
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."927Please respect copyright.PENANAJkZQhwY8kC
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.927Please respect copyright.PENANAfUzzGekqMb
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.927Please respect copyright.PENANAZTPpWoF1uA
Angel almost spelt the 927Please respect copyright.PENANA2RPyQrOS89
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.927Please respect copyright.PENANAb0qPVZ6W9O
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other927Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Vk3Hj2lu
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 927Please respect copyright.PENANAidBBQZ8C8B
just ran a hand through his hair.927Please respect copyright.PENANA7F3L37viyx
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.927Please respect copyright.PENANAsTzq17esXL
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.927Please respect copyright.PENANA0NEfV5TvuO
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."927Please respect copyright.PENANATcAhxazFwa
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.927Please respect copyright.PENANAmXV6GCluKn
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."927Please respect copyright.PENANAcLdPXBpWDn
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."927Please respect copyright.PENANAgjd3rrRmuX
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.927Please respect copyright.PENANAuGJdPGamqO
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.927Please respect copyright.PENANA2J7a3tVQOO
"Have to go to school," he said.927Please respect copyright.PENANAXFq7c1HIS5
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.927Please respect copyright.PENANAavP8lftyVF
Oliver came round the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAvA89PophuE
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 927Please respect copyright.PENANAjcjF4NL2jM
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 927Please respect copyright.PENANAGMmUaM5UCZ
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 927Please respect copyright.PENANAuBjQSami7k
ears.927Please respect copyright.PENANAC4ByzESrjO
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.927Please respect copyright.PENANAb42WuR7iTr
"So adorable," said Carly.927Please respect copyright.PENANAbDAZ8NJbF3
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.927Please respect copyright.PENANAQqyjijfK2t
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."927Please respect copyright.PENANATENRA6CRNv
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."927Please respect copyright.PENANARwG4FbOT4A
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."927Please respect copyright.PENANAMwR2cxIVnc
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAHvZSDyNzqH
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.927Please respect copyright.PENANAZpEDDmG9YC
"Well, I do."927Please respect copyright.PENANAesWcilbjPR
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."927Please respect copyright.PENANA1SsTKPLtuU
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.927Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZG40UYKhE
"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."927Please respect copyright.PENANAUafjzBmutb
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.927Please respect copyright.PENANAvDCF1VfcTK
"I'll find you in the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAxiI8yLjLFi
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 927Please respect copyright.PENANAueqzhCInF0
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.927Please respect copyright.PENANAlfFFro4nec
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.927Please respect copyright.PENANAaMS2rVq1Qk
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.927Please respect copyright.PENANAIyrFfcUFgb
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."927Please respect copyright.PENANAM0eTKhw2pm
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."927Please respect copyright.PENANA2OT3ZJfUTV
"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.927Please respect copyright.PENANAXRL89H1dkd
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.927Please respect copyright.PENANARZwUQjhDWV
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.927Please respect copyright.PENANAJbunBqG6ld
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.927Please respect copyright.PENANA3KmPm73neq
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAKtM01IN3ZY
Before Carly could 927Please respect copyright.PENANAIynFldmXvR
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 927Please respect copyright.PENANAEVqM3GwYpN
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 927Please respect copyright.PENANAgxC278kw4m
interested about what her sister was up to.927Please respect copyright.PENANAYCNJYen50i
"I'll join you," said 927Please respect copyright.PENANAoFLFkkjjqq
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures927Please respect copyright.PENANABwqWJHqOcO
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."927Please respect copyright.PENANAzEOyrHcgLn
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."927Please respect copyright.PENANATmyo5VmGCp
"I'll go get ready," 927Please respect copyright.PENANAAjpmMlTCab
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 927Please respect copyright.PENANABqd1Q6Kguz
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 927Please respect copyright.PENANAOnpwxa5HID
times.927Please respect copyright.PENANAetxuUbz6eC
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.927Please respect copyright.PENANAFv0kyY1SAP
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.927Please respect copyright.PENANA7WslIF1zds
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."927Please respect copyright.PENANAAidM65JrF4
The last thing Leo 927Please respect copyright.PENANAhcKFjPO8yO
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 927Please respect copyright.PENANAgltFrj7zHw
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.927Please respect copyright.PENANA9KBHP5qXIW
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.927Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ4ype50im
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."927Please respect copyright.PENANAlgu4MGzpWS
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.927Please respect copyright.PENANAkvayiEHj4c
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.927Please respect copyright.PENANA2qKFIUHHLZ
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."927Please respect copyright.PENANAZG3GkdVnZS
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.927Please respect copyright.PENANAJG9ZGhlhHF
"Yes. It's really 927Please respect copyright.PENANAFsHDVOMkw2
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk927Please respect copyright.PENANAz27LKVrnU0
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 927Please respect copyright.PENANAuh7stPPZEJ
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 927Please respect copyright.PENANA1P27YnCF8l
since I'm so old."927Please respect copyright.PENANAoNERAzwlek
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.927Please respect copyright.PENANAAxuG0D5GEM
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.927Please respect copyright.PENANAGioOQXTZ8s
"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?"927Please respect copyright.PENANAznuLGD46cC
Leo sighed. He looked 927Please respect copyright.PENANAklunjq52Pa
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife927Please respect copyright.PENANAJWVFhb8QhO
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 927Please respect copyright.PENANAy7H9MO3FXS
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.927Please respect copyright.PENANAwTdGbLCvpz
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."927Please respect copyright.PENANAnad7NtZUsq
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
