The phone alarm woke Leo912Please respect copyright.PENANATSXHRiPqe1
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on912Please respect copyright.PENANAiOmbeztRBN
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 912Please respect copyright.PENANAE5PhbiQy33
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 912Please respect copyright.PENANACHnmuTfpzw
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 912Please respect copyright.PENANADz4yGNzHFQ
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 912Please respect copyright.PENANA2T3MjxDpva
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 912Please respect copyright.PENANAvgBtCw4TCF
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 912Please respect copyright.PENANATvD2wzgTT5
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.912Please respect copyright.PENANAV8OsVV6WUA
After taking a shower, 912Please respect copyright.PENANA6DR64C2OWO
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the912Please respect copyright.PENANArFj8JWoegg
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 912Please respect copyright.PENANAS2ayqcHOe9
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 912Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Aitni6cf
ever. 912Please respect copyright.PENANAnEfaeA9eES
He soon went out of his 912Please respect copyright.PENANAL6CumZkG2B
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 912Please respect copyright.PENANAj1rhRRJIQo
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was912Please respect copyright.PENANAuL7fvT0DP6
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind912Please respect copyright.PENANAsgt016n3cX
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 912Please respect copyright.PENANAEUz55TCluy
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 912Please respect copyright.PENANAUFZkKt73WH
him.912Please respect copyright.PENANAR82NhAJLyD
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 912Please respect copyright.PENANA8GCIXblBC9
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.912Please respect copyright.PENANA62nRPANHY7
"Don't ruin the mood by 912Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q8R9sgDmK
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 912Please respect copyright.PENANAirGMFL0rye
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."912Please respect copyright.PENANA7rD7PhBj7i
Leo smiled as he 912Please respect copyright.PENANAnoW6gI5PwT
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 912Please respect copyright.PENANAYwUdfOphBZ
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 912Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Euly6oOC
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.912Please respect copyright.PENANAoAltxQy793
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 912Please respect copyright.PENANAyb2LkD2TcV
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 912Please respect copyright.PENANA0ijHeg27nF
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.912Please respect copyright.PENANAT88KLx1Bmc
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."912Please respect copyright.PENANA7GVnNdauDw
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.912Please respect copyright.PENANA6kLu7TP7Ht
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."912Please respect copyright.PENANAtBaMTJuoYm
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAbNagCilm7y
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.912Please respect copyright.PENANAfXImAOROU5
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."912Please respect copyright.PENANAAHp5JknHOF
"She is, actually," said912Please respect copyright.PENANA3A436FtBV8
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 912Please respect copyright.PENANAc6HsJhsXZs
anything to you. You have me around."912Please respect copyright.PENANAEcXWosHtjq
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."912Please respect copyright.PENANA5y4bTNFiTX
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAZRKcEnAvzD
Before Carly could say 912Please respect copyright.PENANArNbrLDBWgT
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 912Please respect copyright.PENANASrJckOSjpp
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.912Please respect copyright.PENANAzqlZILjkfk
"What was that?" Leo asked.912Please respect copyright.PENANA6QiBCY0cjH
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.912Please respect copyright.PENANABysqU9JWdE
Carly got to Angel's 912Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bi3NZyZMi
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down912Please respect copyright.PENANAbV8F2OQoRX
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her912Please respect copyright.PENANAggHYiNcWaB
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.912Please respect copyright.PENANAgy6je4M6Xy
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.912Please respect copyright.PENANArOYdd6AWCJ
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.912Please respect copyright.PENANAsMYtfXw1HP
"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."912Please respect copyright.PENANAGPGUyUvmeb
"You know you're not 912Please respect copyright.PENANAOuknSMVpxr
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking912Please respect copyright.PENANAz8ujgOTOLW
for help. You never change, Angel."912Please respect copyright.PENANARH6gGy48oC
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."912Please respect copyright.PENANAEo9puIYo52
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAlE4NuHK6NO
"No thanks, I'm fine."912Please respect copyright.PENANA8uYDoH9g1i
Angel went on to look at912Please respect copyright.PENANAqRtkjzokHU
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and912Please respect copyright.PENANAu0q8FVsWgm
then she went on to stare at Carly.912Please respect copyright.PENANArnSegM8upZ
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.912Please respect copyright.PENANAS4IwHOybpT
Carly paused as she 912Please respect copyright.PENANAoDEOR1cVx9
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister912Please respect copyright.PENANAnA1ik8L2c5
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 912Please respect copyright.PENANAqOCn9pkmro
Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANAvlfg103yWu
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."912Please respect copyright.PENANA02lrqxiTuR
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 912Please respect copyright.PENANAZxgePY929o
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 912Please respect copyright.PENANAgLRiE8pmJK
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 912Please respect copyright.PENANAU7jbdJ86aE
hurt or anything."912Please respect copyright.PENANAc5cSKtuQYF
"May you please drag me 912Please respect copyright.PENANAGVdzLQAzYI
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 912Please respect copyright.PENANApFRkyL70Lx
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.912Please respect copyright.PENANABSx53bpZOh
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.912Please respect copyright.PENANA03kMte3V4L
"Just like Carly said, 912Please respect copyright.PENANAaR9JP9aD0h
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 912Please respect copyright.PENANAuAWpTKKnNR
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.912Please respect copyright.PENANAwBBp4GCTgd
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."912Please respect copyright.PENANA2MSTouCrkv
The room soon had an 912Please respect copyright.PENANAnZhleg10bc
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 912Please respect copyright.PENANAEABBymPm7A
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAV7POAavJdQ
awkwardness.912Please respect copyright.PENANArzE4iUFApF
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANAkrB7TiClCh
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."912Please respect copyright.PENANAzUeoCLIKqP
"Sure."912Please respect copyright.PENANARXghK9YqtY
Leo stared at Carly 912Please respect copyright.PENANA3ESitZDXbd
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 912Please respect copyright.PENANAxTVJfhLimu
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 912Please respect copyright.PENANAqbmRp2gWVd
avoid any more problems.912Please respect copyright.PENANAS6C50QD2LJ
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.912Please respect copyright.PENANA80BDuLd1Ot
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.912Please respect copyright.PENANAFEcL7w5Stx
"Tea would be lovely, 912Please respect copyright.PENANAIfydo0Nbse
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 912Please respect copyright.PENANAR97F2U9uva
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 912Please respect copyright.PENANA5FStNavic0
could have helped you."912Please respect copyright.PENANATnfJdkp5Un
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.912Please respect copyright.PENANAuFLCXwJhVr
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."912Please respect copyright.PENANArpPoXmBCQA
Carly gladly smiled at 912Please respect copyright.PENANApXe5Cjaha6
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 912Please respect copyright.PENANAJiAJZOnMZM
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 912Please respect copyright.PENANAiMRbQ9UlWf
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 912Please respect copyright.PENANAVKzlLay9jJ
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?912Please respect copyright.PENANAHa1Zh7zDL5
And Leo? It was strange 912Please respect copyright.PENANAjiK1Z0U6qK
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 912Please respect copyright.PENANAIe2vGSWqcP
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 912Please respect copyright.PENANAkkYQuEVDCv
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.912Please respect copyright.PENANAq3qje73B1j
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.912Please respect copyright.PENANAIa0WlSX3fw
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.912Please respect copyright.PENANAmDQEYG4jxp
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.912Please respect copyright.PENANAMkgeuvAdVY
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"912Please respect copyright.PENANARtyWX6yEH0
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."912Please respect copyright.PENANABdvZFTR05p
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAuHx7YAOb2M
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."912Please respect copyright.PENANAHpgYgFb9Ia
While Amanda and Angel 912Please respect copyright.PENANA9PuUAf2Yzg
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 912Please respect copyright.PENANAx0V7rRcC90
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared912Please respect copyright.PENANAFO2HLnH96k
at the door.912Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pey74r1Co
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.912Please respect copyright.PENANALX20m3mo5L
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."912Please respect copyright.PENANAy086otiUtD
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."912Please respect copyright.PENANANWvjs6AlWo
"No, she didn't." Carly 912Please respect copyright.PENANAKhTxCeKszZ
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 912Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7IG3oWemx
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 912Please respect copyright.PENANAVJtubaGOVr
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 912Please respect copyright.PENANATzOUC8RIOg
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."912Please respect copyright.PENANAa7KakCFez4
"I don't care about 912Please respect copyright.PENANAIBnyJzrZfT
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from912Please respect copyright.PENANA6RN3tP076l
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 912Please respect copyright.PENANAMZaXL7lNh6
are real."912Please respect copyright.PENANAguhw94qHKc
Carly smiled and she 912Please respect copyright.PENANALCjUc9OQtW
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 912Please respect copyright.PENANAp47pJGqR5R
that she didn't want him to let her go.912Please respect copyright.PENANADKdAQRdUF0
She quickly turned 912Please respect copyright.PENANAen60QCvxsi
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAhh9EauuICD
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 912Please respect copyright.PENANAkAn4ajfXBK
They would freak out."912Please respect copyright.PENANArMr3ZUdvSm
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.912Please respect copyright.PENANAvgx4nnsW9b
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."912Please respect copyright.PENANAK1soykbNBq
Leo continued to look 912Please respect copyright.PENANAwVIcSWh5tQ
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAtAVKeYxRZc
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.912Please respect copyright.PENANAKitxnAJXmQ
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."912Please respect copyright.PENANAxtXZiEkzWE
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"912Please respect copyright.PENANALSxaZZ1Xu7
"What's going on here?"912Please respect copyright.PENANA4aNty4NrVY
Leo and Carly almost 912Please respect copyright.PENANAhCl8JzXXBP
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a912Please respect copyright.PENANAcy2XoSUgTX
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with912Please respect copyright.PENANAgK9vqVAPul
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.912Please respect copyright.PENANAcyrpvrOmrz
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAORyrF0fnjc
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."912Please respect copyright.PENANA94ZkXnS6Gz
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.912Please respect copyright.PENANAfQcPBeERZP
"For Amanda and Angel."912Please respect copyright.PENANAG55grvdBHK
"They are both awake?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAGWr6TUEJb3
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."912Please respect copyright.PENANA7wjc3coFHm
Mrs McDonell looked at 912Please respect copyright.PENANACaU4JSh3Lm
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 912Please respect copyright.PENANA20OjhYU2vX
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 912Please respect copyright.PENANAYKPkneMijA
off.912Please respect copyright.PENANAkuTQUgJ5uu
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.912Please respect copyright.PENANAfMuBqfc9Qq
Carly took the tray 912Please respect copyright.PENANAb2szQ9QJN3
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAEfykvLC8jQ
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 912Please respect copyright.PENANAhO71QY5Sjg
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAFRVqyjvr19
corner.912Please respect copyright.PENANAPZrHqFZu8C
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."912Please respect copyright.PENANAgEOvFPX5ZN
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.912Please respect copyright.PENANATRYThNT9HC
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."912Please respect copyright.PENANAKhXLKE9iSg
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."912Please respect copyright.PENANAeu8HCMx3Ps
Leo made his way to the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAZP1hSpvAjh
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 912Please respect copyright.PENANAboYIgoRNKy
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANA1IjMqZ4eLv
By seven, almost 912Please respect copyright.PENANATteSouMZOu
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 912Please respect copyright.PENANALSBuPE14jj
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 912Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tl786dOVq
the lovely smell was intoxicating.912Please respect copyright.PENANAAohWMtqaO9
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"912Please respect copyright.PENANA4AwSA41Zyy
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 912Please respect copyright.PENANArYeMzdSJnV
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 912Please respect copyright.PENANAF9S3APQNzj
time to go to school.912Please respect copyright.PENANAF0hf5742Na
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.912Please respect copyright.PENANAKXwG3oNbCI
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAFrA3ZFq6yA
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."912Please respect copyright.PENANAmVNQB3zRTh
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.912Please respect copyright.PENANAHBwPqNOva4
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.912Please respect copyright.PENANArJJTO4wRJw
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.912Please respect copyright.PENANAFMH0PFxmNb
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANALtJCbemsDp
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAIYxWfvpfcH
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."912Please respect copyright.PENANAFEhzhdQgNb
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.912Please respect copyright.PENANAJSS1wm9FIk
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 912Please respect copyright.PENANA6hehb8AHbM
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and912Please respect copyright.PENANA55HbAh3sne
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 912Please respect copyright.PENANA9WfYX212M8
them.912Please respect copyright.PENANAf9l2Ooq60I
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.912Please respect copyright.PENANA42q40mMXp1
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.912Please respect copyright.PENANALxFtkecWEh
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."912Please respect copyright.PENANAEw2k5XCexc
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.912Please respect copyright.PENANA89Ro9xmLhD
"Right," Leo replied.912Please respect copyright.PENANAvb8ApriaBa
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.912Please respect copyright.PENANAruIasF6lya
Just as they were about 912Please respect copyright.PENANA9brzlQqHsy
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 912Please respect copyright.PENANA3HaMlogyLE
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 912Please respect copyright.PENANAx0psN8jSLa
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.912Please respect copyright.PENANAiMkp3fl6ru
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.912Please respect copyright.PENANAEYihuLcP18
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.912Please respect copyright.PENANAEcAM6I2mYx
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."912Please respect copyright.PENANAVF3rwIuCNZ
Before Leo could reply 912Please respect copyright.PENANA12od8lC0r7
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 912Please respect copyright.PENANA6TbBqtOi35
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 912Please respect copyright.PENANAAvkxsLg1Qw
looked away feeling irritated.912Please respect copyright.PENANAPyYK476adz
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANAGDQehycCNG
Everyone else on the 912Please respect copyright.PENANATCcKSd9cgl
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 912Please respect copyright.PENANAUkEHBaqbel
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 912Please respect copyright.PENANAcTTuPewMiC
except Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANArOWAQQZYb7
"This is just lovely," 912Please respect copyright.PENANAF8g3riBz2m
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 912Please respect copyright.PENANA3Px2PnXkIH
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 912Please respect copyright.PENANAoCQnrD7IEg
really early."912Please respect copyright.PENANAfRhAaDubI8
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."912Please respect copyright.PENANA60nKcZx9JU
"Your wife isn't here, 912Please respect copyright.PENANAXKkDUUQ1wl
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 912Please respect copyright.PENANAMABeh5rrx0
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."912Please respect copyright.PENANAI1CZsc0C2O
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.912Please respect copyright.PENANA7nYyNqNfFS
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.912Please respect copyright.PENANAJcQLxQcuB4
Angel almost spelt the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAVai8gs2917
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.912Please respect copyright.PENANAaUlJB1nv45
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other912Please respect copyright.PENANAuPfjOzOfgj
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 912Please respect copyright.PENANAzTZz13bDGZ
just ran a hand through his hair.912Please respect copyright.PENANA8vt9DI8LPx
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.912Please respect copyright.PENANA8MvcrYtv4o
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.912Please respect copyright.PENANAxYoUEGhrnz
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."912Please respect copyright.PENANAjD1q0FEOPf
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.912Please respect copyright.PENANAaELQlD01EY
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."912Please respect copyright.PENANAg5T9ag3gWW
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."912Please respect copyright.PENANAEwlBgySOLj
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.912Please respect copyright.PENANAiDqXqFxajM
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.912Please respect copyright.PENANAdDfACxow03
"Have to go to school," he said.912Please respect copyright.PENANAmRAiLSdMA5
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.912Please respect copyright.PENANAnXlRcYUwuy
Oliver came round the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAKSgC1CJhKg
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 912Please respect copyright.PENANAFkGla5wvPR
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 912Please respect copyright.PENANARzN5tyqcG9
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 912Please respect copyright.PENANAaFW8kXLm4H
ears.912Please respect copyright.PENANA7ODxR0FvTa
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.912Please respect copyright.PENANAW1fUqbRAt4
"So adorable," said Carly.912Please respect copyright.PENANARlwWk5FwKD
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.912Please respect copyright.PENANAUWmrVouE9x
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."912Please respect copyright.PENANAkTKOiTccVi
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."912Please respect copyright.PENANAGQiQp5XP1l
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."912Please respect copyright.PENANAkgUfvUtZXJ
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"912Please respect copyright.PENANA0BNa7m0dKk
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.912Please respect copyright.PENANAYmJWIqKwY1
"Well, I do."912Please respect copyright.PENANAgbNC4FCyPI
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."912Please respect copyright.PENANAlcXFpHptux
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.912Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZQdHexvYp
"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."912Please respect copyright.PENANAc4TpyXCPYB
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.912Please respect copyright.PENANAsIdRDZqPVn
"I'll find you in the 912Please respect copyright.PENANAmOUPOJ9kee
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 912Please respect copyright.PENANAN3hhdSfqmN
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.912Please respect copyright.PENANAMablN5b90o
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.912Please respect copyright.PENANA9LNyzbe7Hi
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.912Please respect copyright.PENANAzFM3vuAoTY
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."912Please respect copyright.PENANAKFAwUC7bfe
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."912Please respect copyright.PENANAEviHWlTrkJ
"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.912Please respect copyright.PENANAOt1ZH026e3
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.912Please respect copyright.PENANAeUhlFnJaYe
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.912Please respect copyright.PENANAODs2tBzhJP
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.912Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3j0HoIkt4
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAAhnrTQ6moI
Before Carly could 912Please respect copyright.PENANADZUffPKoB4
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 912Please respect copyright.PENANAZpnlGHN8tS
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 912Please respect copyright.PENANAyJqgOu6sZz
interested about what her sister was up to.912Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2sQimCWc6
"I'll join you," said 912Please respect copyright.PENANAPoeehhInfv
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures912Please respect copyright.PENANASaNtXNPczG
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."912Please respect copyright.PENANAvnvChByPiT
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."912Please respect copyright.PENANAl4kIXHVsDg
"I'll go get ready," 912Please respect copyright.PENANAV8hOPqzDK6
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 912Please respect copyright.PENANAUnSvLk25lA
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 912Please respect copyright.PENANAb1yoFQeOcl
times.912Please respect copyright.PENANAaMR68fDEJN
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.912Please respect copyright.PENANA23tMKflFwe
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.912Please respect copyright.PENANAK5LBK8IY8W
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."912Please respect copyright.PENANATmqNl1aIa3
The last thing Leo 912Please respect copyright.PENANAbibubDONc7
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 912Please respect copyright.PENANASXWHAice8T
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.912Please respect copyright.PENANA8qx7dqdgTE
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.912Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjXqaSq4j
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."912Please respect copyright.PENANAKXYgLTY5cI
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.912Please respect copyright.PENANAfxBEaok6nL
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.912Please respect copyright.PENANABOz1N27Lwt
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."912Please respect copyright.PENANA3JEag91k75
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.912Please respect copyright.PENANAjl6CzLHCjM
"Yes. It's really 912Please respect copyright.PENANAzxtC71QSru
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk912Please respect copyright.PENANAGS069o9sXj
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 912Please respect copyright.PENANAvqKY3uA0EN
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 912Please respect copyright.PENANASs8jtXhSmy
since I'm so old."912Please respect copyright.PENANAXeBGyFkZOy
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.912Please respect copyright.PENANAUsekMTy9ud
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.912Please respect copyright.PENANAUzCfDAbtVJ
"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?"912Please respect copyright.PENANAAJxMVceB7D
Leo sighed. He looked 912Please respect copyright.PENANAIsPzrMFMvr
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife912Please respect copyright.PENANAz9uU74L2dg
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 912Please respect copyright.PENANAFf6IaRN0PM
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.912Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcs4is9L3
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."912Please respect copyright.PENANACJRkeTKn4S
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
