The phone alarm woke Leo1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjOGkGbM1
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRbWLHETZz
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKoxB90uL
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92LhT8sTM1
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR6hTsxtT7
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiDPiTUGKi
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErUcvM7Fa5
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tfz39W927
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HMqRmls6A
After taking a shower, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2yT4kfEyf
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiugGZ0F6SH
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DzJ8OnT0S
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlT3b6iiQV
ever. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMgyDB9OHB
He soon went out of his 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4yykRqxNb
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4bs3JYYpN
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqfZDUsI6p
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66STBJ63Yn
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd6p3qm57c
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc40vZvNTe
him.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSD0GCiJeB
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldetHSoVnu
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrJ96fyZhf
"Don't ruin the mood by 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vTztvjAC5
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRrEch152N
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjX1l0SH12
Leo smiled as he 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjlOpb8sqz
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRSEsv07WX
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHsYHQMqTW
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuWS2pJPwW
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuIpzUUCz4
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNOMRyKzIn
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCo0q5uQ4T
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhTDoPDt4M
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2b2I1fC1D
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI0msWjZuw
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISuCYXCqqW
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGAz4qnUrn
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9iDbKSfR
"She is, actually," said1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUvWlhiAh
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz3QcsJN3M
anything to you. You have me around."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WYz2xXtJh
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfMaJ9GGQK
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ1PCaNpZe
Before Carly could say 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosJRZMSFc
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx3RfwoJ4Z
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw1h0tHokV
"What was that?" Leo asked.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPjlVe2KKX
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxG4SgcMSb
Carly got to Angel's 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49D13HR0GI
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahF6wNRZGF
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThtusigbbl
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHbN9c61i8
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl1JwEx4d4
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnmtiiaifY
"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."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTwXNjfNgB
"You know you're not 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxDD6lgsgX
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo6ZQk0miK
for help. You never change, Angel."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm6Gy4n2Um
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkGSnk4DnK
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZSyOfq5TC
"No thanks, I'm fine."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjF9FNPmCF
Angel went on to look at1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnsW2KgGAk
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlxkU9f5ZC
then she went on to stare at Carly.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEkJF0SRfr
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Kl0eiawt
Carly paused as she 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBPbE0s8ZI
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQPJrRp4f6
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9OkkZzP5n
Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAseBfEwTt
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIgs7ty0pS
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgMlSn6LCx
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGlHNkcDQo
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilepnCMdPR
hurt or anything."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnofkMiigl
"May you please drag me 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCwjmy29cH
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53HANMJLsY
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qODh6vyQs
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYepVrBpvc9
"Just like Carly said, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtNv1jdGNv
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB9vzT2IEU
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF1Gp32fXP
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjCvbFgeD6
The room soon had an 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO33HHXiHV
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGdaUMTTkT
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ2Vsq0CMR
awkwardness.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORbeBp9K53
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuBySD2CXE
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Kdgvi8NP
"Sure."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dhqp0o2Bn
Leo stared at Carly 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0uSc0c9jB
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD78PdAYkx
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ10BtHYgg
avoid any more problems.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNyRMGY444
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFxXHC0HpU
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEYu9ETN5G
"Tea would be lovely, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdz6NCWFK
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYS8qqYadM
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKJ7sBTlG6
could have helped you."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd2yNwuFI1
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESPxCM5ICd
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTXEJ0wJzQ
Carly gladly smiled at 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3QKBq4xOW
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEq6n1RWuI
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOSeSOsBUS
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIbTjvwQpQ
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBWrqndtlS
And Leo? It was strange 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpH3QOIwOf
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP8bzYUHtK
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg5QbhvuaJ
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHT37ctgkc
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEc5nDGeNr
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyJwnIo33
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXUseFuPpO
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgePGdbyK4
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn255V7pvY
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQMMx36C7x
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYO4Y0ZKk1
While Amanda and Angel 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUEpWJfist
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3L77fi0m
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABehalD7X
at the door.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps2nTMaEtT
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK11yEk9l1A
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqvrWetEuo
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlN48BQcyY
"No, she didn't." Carly 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHrFXxLnn0
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ113GJpjGsI
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf5KuB9818
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaRF9oBZpk
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykS7OmvkOw
"I don't care about 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw4NQDvQrU
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mdl6hTlom
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8WiyX1AU7
are real."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAiOGDTtu0
Carly smiled and she 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qs3btb0qt
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGflkYnMiW
that she didn't want him to let her go.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM28FwegLXa
She quickly turned 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckMj4jE8BN
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG5tQoy0WT
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVEouLn00
They would freak out."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMk3uZJTGo
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6yQXRY4BW
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1rdjdbhPY
Leo continued to look 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk8EPBOQpy
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonuzPgl9c
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm6TlXx0nx
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTMNbBSKgu
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mopfsid3h
"What's going on here?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7BkE0lJx4
Leo and Carly almost 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgAnHqoq6d
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXItUlDQon
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQuH0q5n5W
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg0NMR2KLT
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4F3z9brMQ
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmGDWGGq36
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmwOwbv3rM
"For Amanda and Angel."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u5KlRr8aX
"They are both awake?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4aTlTbFOR
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxIIVfFr8G
Mrs McDonell looked at 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQfxe9kTju
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cqce4D6ED
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaShFdrtZr
off.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcJ9MVd0P9
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoF9jygHqZ
Carly took the tray 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesrKUGfMoj
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNfyHAnrO8
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAIbYRUL5m
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz69kwUoHF
corner.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZMRLBm9VS
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyQz3x9fRK
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYu7hhPo7
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jRivFyP1q
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmTBFrRusl
Leo made his way to the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf0EnHsg06
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKm7g7JbVd
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01SA3SLo9T
By seven, almost 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwvYQfxvtl
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ESC4LTNq
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngPyvBEvCw
the lovely smell was intoxicating.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89qqOjbae
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKmhxsDw3s
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JDWy8eZZL
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkKYpfskLV
time to go to school.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtFHS5PVx1
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzfSzpceIY
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HaTNEQuNs
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1VovlMDEc
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84lK3Qu6rD
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTeCZxsaSe
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO0pnD3Olc
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKXN5cSBFb
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVM5Zxt8Ik
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugO3gkNRXA
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMi8JEOmPC
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqEQv7DuZZ
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipOmx1jwlp
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5AbqZEajJ
them.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWR6PIdC5n
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmB2HXNgEH
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQXYBhxZy
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh2xFnYRxB
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSff6zoXLcP
"Right," Leo replied.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVJJVovz0v
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.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx9bTL5A1r
Just as they were about 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveSfLMrBRl
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8KS7mIpQC
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqBdJyjbx5
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVH5iYGN3u
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwH0RVfbk
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnoqfoYHk7
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy9Bjm2jRg
Before Leo could reply 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByPXWW8MbG
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7jOe2MnJ
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoumQhedGJn
looked away feeling irritated.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMKWiurql7
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM93uvN7JCf
Everyone else on the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxyMVHAkw9
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGM84nIWks
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvgU4QC9i2
except Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Q1BuC2f7
"This is just lovely," 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBd92behhX
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHly9IfbNRd
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs8caHQznU
really early."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wqesGhgwR
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM2j96is7y
"Your wife isn't here, 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouWe2ytn1S
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQcCdz82Lk
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjQQp68rnn
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJmgMtDSZ8
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0WI7IpcWv
Angel almost spelt the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuiGmJ2XAF
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ7oyrdD20
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYGbdTgNUx
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtXlOTZvEF
just ran a hand through his hair.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tDN9o7wle
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcdyTbXkwS
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFIUWw4Ibm
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMl3e3b0JL
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n7ANyWEIN
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7lF9Naazz
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhYPbGkb6f
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMmICScdM9
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnTspfoA7h
"Have to go to school," he said.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88TsKRtm2o
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWWYVIODZ7
Oliver came round the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qsP7Rv5KY
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTkMrZ1A4i
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22rgjoXyXn
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsuNSWYNdu
ears.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQRoC3875G
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSBXsl5nEJ
"So adorable," said Carly.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGPLQWjqKy
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqM2yOsgJ5
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjz2fN1dWT
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgesRprVWU
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5LAm2zy9f
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrtSa74eiQ
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW2hcJNu4k
"Well, I do."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe1GA4dw2o
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20iejpf3FZ
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ9ZDVmv46
"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."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6o5jLEt8R
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xndTgmnMe
"I'll find you in the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3DcA0G3uQ
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf7qAiXCvr
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO1429ad1k
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3zLlsB4KL
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLZVQMnn9x
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXULtD3lTc
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe354FqFHbI
"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.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9pUr3YJa
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM2Aky0gaK
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcJjBechuy
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxsiRNOHsU
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGssL7DAU3a
Before Carly could 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJ8Is3p1I
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb7GXviu7X
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDGtQSnl2e
interested about what her sister was up to.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhhGqoW7Wg
"I'll join you," said 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlecErn7JZV
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86LYo5iwM6
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguj2MgEHCs
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS31keLX0Z
"I'll go get ready," 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwfaZx9IRl
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1DrtngJSL
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGXmA2346t
times.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVtiOEt6Wa
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHj0BH8n1Z
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShPF6unsnE
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjom1DnJuXV
The last thing Leo 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsK7JchCM6
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydsmZVpYMH
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWoNkmiDFa
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGADOiLwzLt
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMYZxrO6xf
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC9fuot9Pj
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUng1B3e3z
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREusOQiQOL
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSd3nXZXsB
"Yes. It's really 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoiXQSKryn
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NAcpRjIOu
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDkEGeFvXX
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzuXMsDooj
since I'm so old."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgCunHgVgv
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.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6bL2YypLi
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOenuPYElJ
"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?"1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTISJbNKEjI
Leo sighed. He looked 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurbdTe2SjG
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw1rgdPptZ
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeB4rVCyfL
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wOrnsYlL
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."1251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O8ObanY0S
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
