The phone alarm woke Leo1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZDr0aRbN
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76DgyO0Hf1
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsalocPW9Vz
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou9FxIA2jy
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOQHDv5nyE
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFi8WGu3lK
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyYiI1q6Uo
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuN7fgVPiw
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7UFB0mw5T
After taking a shower, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9TgeRxR5m
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXMRTjJtD8
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NdIbsodhq
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu454bGVlk8
ever. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwAkA2GOrs
He soon went out of his 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq2stQiNm9
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGvkWPty3R
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYqGMrFa9e
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIJ3DZhSj9
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPuDGyb9V3
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2haoMk8H1d
him.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlMp0EkidB
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiNIZfsXR8
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf12XnCjCJA
"Don't ruin the mood by 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSURKzpA85
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl79MgNTM0
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgJ0IQado
Leo smiled as he 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrVxalBfUx
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBEi65hBso
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfXbJ7fxdz
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6sF031mOs
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwgjywtu0K
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEHjsMd3BV
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANFbXQipSR
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX51GiZ1gII
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw6lLSI1to
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr9VhKzYQB
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhr8FzrJQ0
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYb54rCEDX
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAZMvEXrYC
"She is, actually," said1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP95pEn7Ya
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIahxRalvB
anything to you. You have me around."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiruYx8Znsb
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSypxeEGnfW
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMifVgmvwc
Before Carly could say 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AFz9HcFBp
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChH50itNFC
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomtMe0Jdih
"What was that?" Leo asked.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGtx59MgD
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTUt4M2hAu
Carly got to Angel's 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgd4hxBDfL
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRXL8F5ICe
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswGJproaUq
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOldqXhFo
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCtWU17Xyz
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD5dWd8fxJ
"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."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVNb1vkh69
"You know you're not 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZv2OYSDzC
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaue99mfAHe
for help. You never change, Angel."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTwz4oRqpL
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk5W4Ow6bo
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ7Pd7T7RP
"No thanks, I'm fine."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEyc0ttXAR
Angel went on to look at1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTlZj8EnaV
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZlNIKIyI
then she went on to stare at Carly.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbNPXu1NRS
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdioHoKTqg3
Carly paused as she 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXXhO9PBlG
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTyOY1WCgh
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkl1xsaJU7
Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyt2e3P5Tp
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6l2hlV2T2
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx0JBl7V9b
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYgwhbcNQl
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp9lIluheY
hurt or anything."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaet9IGIt5
"May you please drag me 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iSeZiwCrq
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbi1ZcGffH
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMz1BaN4Ts
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRvyTGiwP4
"Just like Carly said, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMirSI2Qw
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5By7bZujJ
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28e9ym6ltb
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuPNWxhCcP
The room soon had an 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GDvXDy5rq
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkIl12C8ye
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGi0emKkei
awkwardness.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjESQcG2k7
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8c5bdHhOX
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4TZeI3BQn
"Sure."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKJc6w6aE6
Leo stared at Carly 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TLCG5sohi
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgskpKchTD6
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mL6BvjLMh
avoid any more problems.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY54tOhC03
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto66pVYoF6
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVh5AiMAUc
"Tea would be lovely, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdgftxN6EB
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBdPnxEqrP
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB6x2UkGd5
could have helped you."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCGNWL7RL5
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU1VK6mvac
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zsKtj8h08
Carly gladly smiled at 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiA6kS7EEe
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VoAxNmTtl
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKkSEWGTMq
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnISThhyDGt
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpAFp0OyJs
And Leo? It was strange 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5M9NrMzEQ
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23jaySMm9l
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi2Leiakjv
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lxYNENlQy
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjhWcKTdNg
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdxuMmGHIr
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgC4Sfscy6
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZhzvdum2L
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiks58oCjQe
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTUinFEnAJ
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSy8IgEk9E
While Amanda and Angel 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4A79KT06P
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N9yMfURsf
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrygNkVGBbT
at the door.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AQwbVcFUG
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYNIH2Scww
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdzLXizVjU
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9mFc8Jra
"No, she didn't." Carly 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4TMLIUG5
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdtBMYtdcp
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXiuJxfgOW
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkwJC5QNo
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRxkMcVcsI
"I don't care about 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqPYgqsZNU
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOV2EY2xJY
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOn3lvAgte
are real."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSDfE5j6Bc
Carly smiled and she 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDcjE3LVJq
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVmBgrklqF
that she didn't want him to let her go.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOndcA5UGSI
She quickly turned 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdPs9rZvpL
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0pD2OhYL
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHm29KGwJY
They would freak out."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPvgiklPQQ
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFJyaLKSDj
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefPijMHZSZ
Leo continued to look 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV4DjLSSwi
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv8s8eWmJ0
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG0aHy2ikh
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLLUkCAgNt
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFA3Yx1HU
"What's going on here?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnrPz20e5
Leo and Carly almost 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncK6AuSs6B
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45GrraVEII
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfjMUV5VkF
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFddlgLTfL
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFpIoW06wE
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokhykXEDgF
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcRbYmKhpd
"For Amanda and Angel."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIrTcXyw2u
"They are both awake?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bc9WqStey
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4pebh3yS
Mrs McDonell looked at 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoaWRBhaqT
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmXnJWjnjR
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmkPu1EPjr
off.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvUYzqQN2b
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxYIMFjQDk
Carly took the tray 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHla720RiM
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr8g0xz0SX
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYqX0yivVz
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZEHNNQYH9
corner.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FedbFKrCj
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSsrIJMc1p
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qnHSn6UMZ
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHclBQdCQk
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJj8D1sIgF
Leo made his way to the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPhAyj0XM
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBvJWeqd0T
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAAW2Ht5GM
By seven, almost 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZL9ePIMtV
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzeg85TcbZ
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXOvSJaFpQ
the lovely smell was intoxicating.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXfYSYoQMa
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNqmpC93IR
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle169qQeCz
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFsdz2nc7S
time to go to school.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjXpb1cOSr
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1c9FrbcQN
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBagA0s6AU
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5yqmtMTbq
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdSnR1tua
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZC6HMI4rd
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpStlb6wSu
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uNRzarbXE
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbSGXWbgjS
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoXuOO2qGo
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuiCZA8E9H
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6pufaCoTe
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcF2XhTzJl
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTo81OWKvf
them.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYEtSh0rLV
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpMJoSnmX7
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnwGTGTghf
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp3L6uqyat
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNTOvPvuuQ
"Right," Leo replied.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rSZGeTtYx
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.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEL0NesFzE
Just as they were about 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1CiIZjgsR
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OBEmWfZse
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3KZLhVYTo
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYBpyuGcph
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ93IHaNjJ
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIZMiMKqpK
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMZcK9Jtt
Before Leo could reply 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxpxj2SVk0
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUCT9kBU2J
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNIAEOSM1p
looked away feeling irritated.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGMOYWK1iV
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1sDnS4cdF
Everyone else on the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD92xWeWtvu
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jpasqDaNM
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdm0QDZXC4
except Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlaTToLgM6
"This is just lovely," 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ69uYvhrYb
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSulrfMGMs
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDXfAO4GDv
really early."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yr983xbnU
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5zIx75fpF
"Your wife isn't here, 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDoBUWexkW
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DWkX9sZcF
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXfvwwYS9t
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrLm6WfPrA
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBZDXYGkRP
Angel almost spelt the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIUE4eKeIx
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2FGsLIzpu
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDczecZyMiD
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquGvsZl26u
just ran a hand through his hair.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy7DqDY0So
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dZBLvLt64
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY8Zck3efS
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRuVukPC81
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEldA9sbbE
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CjhQy53K5
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6IBTOBv0E
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg1OykJkk3
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTvKuKCKOR
"Have to go to school," he said.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X9qCr1OAW
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMs3WhWoHy
Oliver came round the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17msuLGpCL
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTndDb2IYt
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAntlBkMe7N
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEHCCXvj1V
ears.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlceKfXbBDC
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLfanVBMhG
"So adorable," said Carly.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3EXh3uWiq
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I2J7ZVGlU
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqJBCB8dJ6
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wAh8ipsC7
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLVdfEwJec
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE9Qkzleea
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lS1II4FWr
"Well, I do."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X7gtU7iC1
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdffDxfTKJp
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8n761OC9l
"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."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6SXl35ImD
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uiQtgST19
"I'll find you in the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzam7ACCzt
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbw7N2dP5A
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpN6OIuqCI
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR6Kw5Ln16
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyCc4Zbnqk
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynHGgkBLN2
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGPDSbM5kH
"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.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vMLiqWU7y
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeUOA7netU
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNru9wdj4Em
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmbwMrqfon
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQvMuNbNxn
Before Carly could 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NM6WjaPtJ
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Euh9zP9dm
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2cx2LtUVa
interested about what her sister was up to.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsZqYsRXD
"I'll join you," said 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2fuO3uqq0
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQxKwVhnj
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEUkosDgg4
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAUMnrjruz
"I'll go get ready," 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKYZMjWfgQ
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN38dBBGJve
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuw6LJd8Nj
times.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhZKWtY0HS
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRONFTD5QHz
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1RB3wQnps
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOYaDkFITR
The last thing Leo 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq5rMTRRrp
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FOd4FfZx2
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGysfaKbjm
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzs0rvb47T
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1JHClAWIa
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZqoWKD4XF
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ol7TxL5FM
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gwi1ZFAm5
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpq8QMuHvR
"Yes. It's really 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOkWTok8ZW
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bpbg4854c
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOZOLKCnIJ
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLLfW4P2U2
since I'm so old."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjuxP7ERjf
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.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ14o1HW5E
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBluzqIRbFX
"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?"1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAWaN3J5DT
Leo sighed. He looked 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO73PoIUcPm
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFopgdcTbO1
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq5iuti4cR
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJP9eJn80N
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."1252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02FqknM4DO
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
