The phone alarm woke Leo911Please respect copyright.PENANAxx4qy7SuWH
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on911Please respect copyright.PENANAx59sxEBmY4
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 911Please respect copyright.PENANAGS9Q0XQJci
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 911Please respect copyright.PENANAHUmaCn3bQD
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 911Please respect copyright.PENANAxpYPtXP8BU
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 911Please respect copyright.PENANACHYbzDFs5J
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 911Please respect copyright.PENANA8ogbtQAjCx
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 911Please respect copyright.PENANALOArznVhEZ
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.911Please respect copyright.PENANAIj6XainlDF
After taking a shower, 911Please respect copyright.PENANAy0LQuyfL0o
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the911Please respect copyright.PENANAiAB3pzLfGp
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 911Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Mf5luukZ
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 911Please respect copyright.PENANAYe9QbAircg
ever. 911Please respect copyright.PENANAhSb9hy6Nlr
He soon went out of his 911Please respect copyright.PENANAJdY9qPSFDc
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 911Please respect copyright.PENANAXgASqqRHEO
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was911Please respect copyright.PENANAydNvv35m4F
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind911Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mzfl6I55q
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 911Please respect copyright.PENANA0tFlKGDkMN
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 911Please respect copyright.PENANAnr4eIApNCm
him.911Please respect copyright.PENANAKWG0BV8WZf
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 911Please respect copyright.PENANAVhuFtg8WVn
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.911Please respect copyright.PENANAGKLw1b5WOW
"Don't ruin the mood by 911Please respect copyright.PENANAmVZpzZAb2M
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 911Please respect copyright.PENANA2djl3hHwFb
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."911Please respect copyright.PENANAXUjNNHVqsI
Leo smiled as he 911Please respect copyright.PENANAvHpZ7hXEk7
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 911Please respect copyright.PENANAYByhhklZns
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 911Please respect copyright.PENANAqpr0xhYsJd
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.911Please respect copyright.PENANAKiU3y6IVAE
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 911Please respect copyright.PENANA4jQGblEBkC
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 911Please respect copyright.PENANAyerNNTImlA
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.911Please respect copyright.PENANAiKzhD9iNZi
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."911Please respect copyright.PENANAZvyzCdmVxJ
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.911Please respect copyright.PENANAd90B6JNN77
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."911Please respect copyright.PENANADoCAQubuoC
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAbcXGCJeFbM
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.911Please respect copyright.PENANA4rQyTpAMRo
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."911Please respect copyright.PENANAn1lbrVMiSQ
"She is, actually," said911Please respect copyright.PENANAvRhNIfxDdG
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 911Please respect copyright.PENANAuf4SzsDYfP
anything to you. You have me around."911Please respect copyright.PENANAs7u9rb2q33
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."911Please respect copyright.PENANAhfu9AQ0sbz
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"911Please respect copyright.PENANACGixWVfcm8
Before Carly could say 911Please respect copyright.PENANAIRaCNyN4I4
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAtoocWsWjp6
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.911Please respect copyright.PENANAsWdqDRRmGK
"What was that?" Leo asked.911Please respect copyright.PENANAKuJopkQCJE
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.911Please respect copyright.PENANANHJqFGWrt9
Carly got to Angel's 911Please respect copyright.PENANAbjfYdAjL1L
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down911Please respect copyright.PENANA38OtgLiFXr
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her911Please respect copyright.PENANAYwjN2vsZNu
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.911Please respect copyright.PENANATmOW2VKqMk
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.911Please respect copyright.PENANAdiL5HoSUSh
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.911Please respect copyright.PENANAuHkPojkXOe
"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."911Please respect copyright.PENANAnoAlIXza60
"You know you're not 911Please respect copyright.PENANAgClybIHSBd
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking911Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mu69eKI9R
for help. You never change, Angel."911Please respect copyright.PENANAme4a9WAi0i
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."911Please respect copyright.PENANA8WgzabYpXR
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAjt6L8fdVXC
"No thanks, I'm fine."911Please respect copyright.PENANA2XsK9jodEw
Angel went on to look at911Please respect copyright.PENANAe2k5sgajuY
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and911Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7qXVjqwtc
then she went on to stare at Carly.911Please respect copyright.PENANALbQkgiTYZr
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.911Please respect copyright.PENANAY5D5dxC384
Carly paused as she 911Please respect copyright.PENANAZWuZlfwFgL
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister911Please respect copyright.PENANAeVEZErHI8e
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 911Please respect copyright.PENANAnevheaes4T
Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANAFmfYFdwv7Z
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."911Please respect copyright.PENANAyj56abRoAD
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 911Please respect copyright.PENANAClTM1k1LSn
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 911Please respect copyright.PENANAN6uwqVbfG9
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 911Please respect copyright.PENANAk3bdMKfDcM
hurt or anything."911Please respect copyright.PENANAfTPDYpYeEo
"May you please drag me 911Please respect copyright.PENANAeqvAyXH6ZB
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 911Please respect copyright.PENANAJgMfn6Ga6k
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.911Please respect copyright.PENANAbTRxNDFCuR
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.911Please respect copyright.PENANABaxRTHUzj3
"Just like Carly said, 911Please respect copyright.PENANAab1xcDIWeG
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 911Please respect copyright.PENANAmt2n2FFLXc
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.911Please respect copyright.PENANAXvhUYccLFZ
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."911Please respect copyright.PENANAZlSOgurZ8O
The room soon had an 911Please respect copyright.PENANAY0z8jK2uaW
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 911Please respect copyright.PENANACmNhe0ZV3b
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAKcDXTM9NdV
awkwardness.911Please respect copyright.PENANAk2zuSrY7MN
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANAa7tmNKD4dh
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."911Please respect copyright.PENANAyDwjrg7spo
"Sure."911Please respect copyright.PENANAa6L1ch2r20
Leo stared at Carly 911Please respect copyright.PENANA64xrUnPu5c
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 911Please respect copyright.PENANA8txxatiio7
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 911Please respect copyright.PENANA5sTUuhMT37
avoid any more problems.911Please respect copyright.PENANAyyCali8c8q
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.911Please respect copyright.PENANAhOzO9SKZVW
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.911Please respect copyright.PENANATiZVYCgz3Q
"Tea would be lovely, 911Please respect copyright.PENANAobSsnCmQuy
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 911Please respect copyright.PENANADjkz1CkGoU
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 911Please respect copyright.PENANApCjbD56BQJ
could have helped you."911Please respect copyright.PENANAv4PMx9C3po
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.911Please respect copyright.PENANAkvKkyr5WqQ
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."911Please respect copyright.PENANAm2fg9GOVsb
Carly gladly smiled at 911Please respect copyright.PENANAqaBgfLu61r
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 911Please respect copyright.PENANArD3x2ZtCN5
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 911Please respect copyright.PENANA1TURBzX2ce
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 911Please respect copyright.PENANAK900rYCcb0
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?911Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8Fzi1v5DJ
And Leo? It was strange 911Please respect copyright.PENANAiMrTeRJPNZ
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 911Please respect copyright.PENANArqOwAnlwDx
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 911Please respect copyright.PENANAmrGri4yjtf
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.911Please respect copyright.PENANAJi4p20wUQv
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.911Please respect copyright.PENANAANzlsmGePs
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.911Please respect copyright.PENANAI9BUFKcZEJ
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.911Please respect copyright.PENANAMLrAoqsNJH
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAsAnl4xK7Zp
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."911Please respect copyright.PENANAUVY0AzNbKU
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAkoB5tFkBDK
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."911Please respect copyright.PENANAPQNSi2bUGf
While Amanda and Angel 911Please respect copyright.PENANAvAT5Pjejr9
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 911Please respect copyright.PENANATqGOhrscK7
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared911Please respect copyright.PENANAzZxc5UQRXQ
at the door.911Please respect copyright.PENANAD8trVee4tZ
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.911Please respect copyright.PENANAuQkg7txiAG
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."911Please respect copyright.PENANAtJFY2Mv1oY
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."911Please respect copyright.PENANAw5snIeWA5J
"No, she didn't." Carly 911Please respect copyright.PENANAchEChRx9P7
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 911Please respect copyright.PENANAHajpfVbNJD
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 911Please respect copyright.PENANAvNWuFrv3Yb
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 911Please respect copyright.PENANAnkoshFMvi3
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."911Please respect copyright.PENANAlIjwRu1ByS
"I don't care about 911Please respect copyright.PENANA1so8AzBsMg
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from911Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wyk62jvTP
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 911Please respect copyright.PENANAer6KYexlb0
are real."911Please respect copyright.PENANAGz98KJNbzA
Carly smiled and she 911Please respect copyright.PENANAXFMNI4k06H
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 911Please respect copyright.PENANAhxOHzP6rd9
that she didn't want him to let her go.911Please respect copyright.PENANABKpoMPVi5K
She quickly turned 911Please respect copyright.PENANAt3aDCcbTSt
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAdVRySOJ1TC
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 911Please respect copyright.PENANAKu3R63QAa8
They would freak out."911Please respect copyright.PENANAhy5lpIJFpE
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.911Please respect copyright.PENANAaWmGyqEMrp
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."911Please respect copyright.PENANAqVZYo2HhHJ
Leo continued to look 911Please respect copyright.PENANAj4TkCp5epg
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 911Please respect copyright.PENANALsRfWivWaM
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.911Please respect copyright.PENANAs9ulfaWU5b
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."911Please respect copyright.PENANAKaojal5qFe
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"911Please respect copyright.PENANANdxsxi5U9K
"What's going on here?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAj301xrznhe
Leo and Carly almost 911Please respect copyright.PENANAwg6juK5lty
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a911Please respect copyright.PENANAgzHBA2CpPH
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with911Please respect copyright.PENANAJMPqQJOp6R
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.911Please respect copyright.PENANAPkM8zvmA1c
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAqdGaAtRLrn
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."911Please respect copyright.PENANAZqQAp2SNLw
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.911Please respect copyright.PENANAQdRWMNJjaO
"For Amanda and Angel."911Please respect copyright.PENANAkqVTwxuzYY
"They are both awake?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAEPSYqLoSeT
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."911Please respect copyright.PENANA9BHuX36e7e
Mrs McDonell looked at 911Please respect copyright.PENANAuG7Zzu2ixb
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 911Please respect copyright.PENANA69X01UR5gI
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 911Please respect copyright.PENANATxpkd8dvih
off.911Please respect copyright.PENANANHmd7c7aIJ
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.911Please respect copyright.PENANA4yC5putfTP
Carly took the tray 911Please respect copyright.PENANAQp8gtNocuM
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAHAKpGhvaMk
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 911Please respect copyright.PENANAR24iYi5ms4
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAKdiWzx5tub
corner.911Please respect copyright.PENANA7im62LFulS
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."911Please respect copyright.PENANATsFoOVwivp
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.911Please respect copyright.PENANAs2BkWH0BlS
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."911Please respect copyright.PENANAvQHRXWkTrQ
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."911Please respect copyright.PENANAFEObXOnN3p
Leo made his way to the 911Please respect copyright.PENANArg4DU5st6L
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 911Please respect copyright.PENANAnrDAxqBM61
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANAwgQq19lWHw
By seven, almost 911Please respect copyright.PENANAZmQrkGVTrx
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAhUTPIXWBpr
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 911Please respect copyright.PENANAaSZJLM7qQD
the lovely smell was intoxicating.911Please respect copyright.PENANAJzFSX0868Q
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"911Please respect copyright.PENANAiHW98gUJc6
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 911Please respect copyright.PENANAFhT4TViuFc
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 911Please respect copyright.PENANApbFEeHCboG
time to go to school.911Please respect copyright.PENANA3opAFOinsB
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.911Please respect copyright.PENANA36JV3L12er
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAi84uxxHN5P
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."911Please respect copyright.PENANAedToiSW9JB
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.911Please respect copyright.PENANAgt6N7DjzwY
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.911Please respect copyright.PENANA2lqIuKb8sr
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.911Please respect copyright.PENANABiMncgjaXx
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANAoZStJCaSvO
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"911Please respect copyright.PENANARsDPAdgn0h
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."911Please respect copyright.PENANAInCycfa44E
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.911Please respect copyright.PENANAn67nNMupGo
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 911Please respect copyright.PENANAPrFp61ukRO
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and911Please respect copyright.PENANA2hxzs929Y0
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 911Please respect copyright.PENANAsDEfkKVDkF
them.911Please respect copyright.PENANA1cYMPdPSSB
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.911Please respect copyright.PENANAXCltDthYMz
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.911Please respect copyright.PENANAeOpogJVkop
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."911Please respect copyright.PENANAJsAqco6Eq7
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.911Please respect copyright.PENANAKBPtdKmaWz
"Right," Leo replied.911Please respect copyright.PENANAjV1QHHwjzb
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.911Please respect copyright.PENANA55GosWYgOQ
Just as they were about 911Please respect copyright.PENANA0nOxzdOi6g
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 911Please respect copyright.PENANAZXHrjvgBle
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 911Please respect copyright.PENANAjWqKPO9QOs
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.911Please respect copyright.PENANANSNIr81bSy
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.911Please respect copyright.PENANApTv9s1lXWD
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.911Please respect copyright.PENANAgHKYyokhl6
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."911Please respect copyright.PENANAC2KxGShWHY
Before Leo could reply 911Please respect copyright.PENANA9diMcIQYnR
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 911Please respect copyright.PENANAHBjP3CSAir
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 911Please respect copyright.PENANAhDYY3teIFx
looked away feeling irritated.911Please respect copyright.PENANARXrHp47Xry
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANANHIEAWc3E4
Everyone else on the 911Please respect copyright.PENANA17rGLQcBV3
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 911Please respect copyright.PENANAwIcPwIFpv1
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 911Please respect copyright.PENANANXjF6hnj5P
except Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANA5XZhcuvmFn
"This is just lovely," 911Please respect copyright.PENANAKazhhfyKSG
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 911Please respect copyright.PENANADZwaQ1zRuh
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 911Please respect copyright.PENANAh5gIPGbzNg
really early."911Please respect copyright.PENANAJTlSBEEFLe
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."911Please respect copyright.PENANArXdNbGY44A
"Your wife isn't here, 911Please respect copyright.PENANAQV4dozET1S
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 911Please respect copyright.PENANAZVsJQcRokE
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."911Please respect copyright.PENANAGOsR2BTgQp
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.911Please respect copyright.PENANAU7LGDYPu5P
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.911Please respect copyright.PENANAwJSzUCBFPd
Angel almost spelt the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAWkypFzXAMW
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.911Please respect copyright.PENANAhzHJqJU2t8
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other911Please respect copyright.PENANA9L4aWbBmEh
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 911Please respect copyright.PENANA8qU4rzD7gE
just ran a hand through his hair.911Please respect copyright.PENANAA1t0BpTucb
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.911Please respect copyright.PENANA3lze1R2TLh
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.911Please respect copyright.PENANAfhWhJTKDCs
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."911Please respect copyright.PENANA0wbljTkcz3
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.911Please respect copyright.PENANAFannhMqW0P
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."911Please respect copyright.PENANAXCuPYlic2M
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."911Please respect copyright.PENANA2UYaZVkmw9
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.911Please respect copyright.PENANAz1r9jdo4hR
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.911Please respect copyright.PENANAV5h0ilILIz
"Have to go to school," he said.911Please respect copyright.PENANArhIgIycl7l
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.911Please respect copyright.PENANAQMtMfdYxN0
Oliver came round the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAoezjOCCFOq
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 911Please respect copyright.PENANAcKubtQleY8
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 911Please respect copyright.PENANAQfevjNCplJ
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 911Please respect copyright.PENANAseFBQMbE6S
ears.911Please respect copyright.PENANAPuE1oBEFJL
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.911Please respect copyright.PENANAo4tlbAxp9q
"So adorable," said Carly.911Please respect copyright.PENANAqfKbjKJAZz
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.911Please respect copyright.PENANAk4twCaE7qJ
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."911Please respect copyright.PENANAFGCwTHnxqc
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."911Please respect copyright.PENANAhv5watzVju
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."911Please respect copyright.PENANA8OVaYJ0oGh
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"911Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q5n3K1uvy
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.911Please respect copyright.PENANAXrb2OwPso1
"Well, I do."911Please respect copyright.PENANAebg6gqOQr7
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."911Please respect copyright.PENANAB84Bcgxvol
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.911Please respect copyright.PENANAqSMCiJvtTH
"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."911Please respect copyright.PENANAYqZSYYHjn1
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.911Please respect copyright.PENANADuGsOeksXn
"I'll find you in the 911Please respect copyright.PENANAVwB1fHFkDJ
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 911Please respect copyright.PENANAmv01tK0xTn
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.911Please respect copyright.PENANAV61TRUVity
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.911Please respect copyright.PENANAH6GFSgsOlw
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.911Please respect copyright.PENANAezuaJwDYJm
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."911Please respect copyright.PENANAxC420sqnzd
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."911Please respect copyright.PENANAnXljVsA2RK
"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.911Please respect copyright.PENANA5XXDTaPDny
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.911Please respect copyright.PENANAvTrP1XVwu7
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.911Please respect copyright.PENANAvSlIvbFhEg
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.911Please respect copyright.PENANAiSrOBdpuDd
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"911Please respect copyright.PENANA9BHwrEl2cJ
Before Carly could 911Please respect copyright.PENANAZneQ1QDetp
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 911Please respect copyright.PENANARkTaoTtGyz
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 911Please respect copyright.PENANA78EMe0fvdT
interested about what her sister was up to.911Please respect copyright.PENANAfX90vPIjpO
"I'll join you," said 911Please respect copyright.PENANADffj23C2OT
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures911Please respect copyright.PENANAImSPtkwAxk
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."911Please respect copyright.PENANANHkax3mSFk
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."911Please respect copyright.PENANAn5wPn7wHee
"I'll go get ready," 911Please respect copyright.PENANAsSqtA0Tqib
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 911Please respect copyright.PENANA6TkZ7Sj5Vp
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 911Please respect copyright.PENANAK8TpaPoaoy
times.911Please respect copyright.PENANAh6NBmS9el6
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.911Please respect copyright.PENANAv7zd3cmHKl
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.911Please respect copyright.PENANA0zYe2grt6C
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."911Please respect copyright.PENANAtCyJamaNoy
The last thing Leo 911Please respect copyright.PENANAUBgY7Hjka7
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 911Please respect copyright.PENANA8U0OM4VDln
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.911Please respect copyright.PENANAOb7Pc45wuZ
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.911Please respect copyright.PENANAX69JMGxGLb
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."911Please respect copyright.PENANAbGFUOxpl18
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.911Please respect copyright.PENANAW5MXia1Okk
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.911Please respect copyright.PENANApO4d7AY3mP
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."911Please respect copyright.PENANA9fWN77Luhv
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.911Please respect copyright.PENANABTnyQMMoQg
"Yes. It's really 911Please respect copyright.PENANAltEFQuArJh
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk911Please respect copyright.PENANATdYQbueMme
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 911Please respect copyright.PENANAIPgcwOCILn
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 911Please respect copyright.PENANAQDMRcwl3Se
since I'm so old."911Please respect copyright.PENANAu3DaqOjxah
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.911Please respect copyright.PENANAGJpEJzC35v
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.911Please respect copyright.PENANAazaka6sRg2
"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?"911Please respect copyright.PENANAXJqt32pKiI
Leo sighed. He looked 911Please respect copyright.PENANAV0t6NDUZwj
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife911Please respect copyright.PENANAFEkRS897Nx
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 911Please respect copyright.PENANA1XaZ9CafZi
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.911Please respect copyright.PENANACpQGzV3cXN
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."911Please respect copyright.PENANAN4OjSbidFM
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
