The phone alarm woke Leo485Please respect copyright.PENANAqVyTvaImAN
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on485Please respect copyright.PENANAgUq1VL1Itu
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 485Please respect copyright.PENANAzFa3E6SGLj
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 485Please respect copyright.PENANAjIo5RfJOc2
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 485Please respect copyright.PENANAeaOS9N1ACQ
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 485Please respect copyright.PENANArj4i3zWMLn
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 485Please respect copyright.PENANAAdrCpFFm0E
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 485Please respect copyright.PENANA0wj0ZA5w2T
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.485Please respect copyright.PENANA4qOCN4NhSm
After taking a shower, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAOOvq3O6DwI
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the485Please respect copyright.PENANACsKmqMXKLC
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 485Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fkm97GDGN
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 485Please respect copyright.PENANAcanOVdcMkh
ever. 485Please respect copyright.PENANAqGEKmpbgL2
He soon went out of his 485Please respect copyright.PENANArrxB8aXHM8
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 485Please respect copyright.PENANAsS2ZJPHR9A
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was485Please respect copyright.PENANAoOC6cl4lWA
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind485Please respect copyright.PENANAazmNE2dxWW
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 485Please respect copyright.PENANABv8rTvYJVZ
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 485Please respect copyright.PENANADjZq4GI7gX
him.485Please respect copyright.PENANAkUrdPKMk7n
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 485Please respect copyright.PENANA7jVmmVikIo
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.485Please respect copyright.PENANAHaq30q8Tsf
"Don't ruin the mood by 485Please respect copyright.PENANAP9g85riaOj
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 485Please respect copyright.PENANAlA1z8H2VuT
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."485Please respect copyright.PENANA3eHY9Y5HjI
Leo smiled as he 485Please respect copyright.PENANA3cbQPT4Gdx
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 485Please respect copyright.PENANA3ROEZ7Xu5M
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 485Please respect copyright.PENANAROsiWBEaHW
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.485Please respect copyright.PENANAtqJOgzyPOY
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 485Please respect copyright.PENANAaDNHEEIpzZ
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 485Please respect copyright.PENANAcrF4i33Jyn
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.485Please respect copyright.PENANAIhKFp8gbaC
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."485Please respect copyright.PENANAiLNahjapz7
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.485Please respect copyright.PENANAlXdxfyoxuR
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."485Please respect copyright.PENANAyQHVLbo80k
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAfnj1QI8z2h
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.485Please respect copyright.PENANAJoYALqs9ci
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."485Please respect copyright.PENANAyHqO4wFGzP
"She is, actually," said485Please respect copyright.PENANANibzvqB8Sw
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 485Please respect copyright.PENANAiVVVn3GIte
anything to you. You have me around."485Please respect copyright.PENANAG1J07YgYdG
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."485Please respect copyright.PENANAjOAZPaKete
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"485Please respect copyright.PENANA2ui7aDJJsT
Before Carly could say 485Please respect copyright.PENANAaodlHWKGDp
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAFsPSZmgfT7
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.485Please respect copyright.PENANAzOizm9EXi2
"What was that?" Leo asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAEKTTA7hhIY
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.485Please respect copyright.PENANApsVxS2bg5A
Carly got to Angel's 485Please respect copyright.PENANAFhiheyY3nj
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down485Please respect copyright.PENANA6KadNIjUWm
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her485Please respect copyright.PENANACIZzPihJJu
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.485Please respect copyright.PENANAIlsKndIRMM
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.485Please respect copyright.PENANA3VKN7vVdM8
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANApUMMp9u4nZ
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAo5DSlSdZ6x
"You know you're not 485Please respect copyright.PENANAmdV8BhhEut
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking485Please respect copyright.PENANAkicP0mAdKa
for help. You never change, Angel."485Please respect copyright.PENANAIu7h8L79ol
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."485Please respect copyright.PENANATZMIWDfakg
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAbklsfhMHgU
"No thanks, I'm fine."485Please respect copyright.PENANA1xdZvqtfIf
Angel went on to look at485Please respect copyright.PENANAHh50GEqDdA
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and485Please respect copyright.PENANAyMWpTjdy6N
then she went on to stare at Carly.485Please respect copyright.PENANA8gqscSz2Yz
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAOYIjeNovjh
Carly paused as she 485Please respect copyright.PENANAmBfqCwbwtU
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister485Please respect copyright.PENANAxhqoeyGnrM
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 485Please respect copyright.PENANAXMhKGV3ytF
Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANAYEq3eVLYfa
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."485Please respect copyright.PENANAymVZf9FKGK
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAoW3vPzJAsX
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 485Please respect copyright.PENANAju7H73FR9R
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 485Please respect copyright.PENANAI1teDTFqiG
hurt or anything."485Please respect copyright.PENANAhEJwGzbZR4
"May you please drag me 485Please respect copyright.PENANAVe0bXXi5f0
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 485Please respect copyright.PENANAHCf0ej9UkI
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.485Please respect copyright.PENANAkCmpGcpoc5
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.485Please respect copyright.PENANAbc4YA0M2cV
"Just like Carly said, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAkf1kyVAGJs
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 485Please respect copyright.PENANACxXEfEdh6G
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.485Please respect copyright.PENANAQYfPa6SyeM
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."485Please respect copyright.PENANAjOo4ngDRfL
The room soon had an 485Please respect copyright.PENANAddj25zEC6p
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 485Please respect copyright.PENANA5o7Hf226ok
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAhe2SGFoTU6
awkwardness.485Please respect copyright.PENANAMtuz1QfM75
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANA7zrt54Xvyd
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."485Please respect copyright.PENANAmKoo2nD1jo
"Sure."485Please respect copyright.PENANApS2x6hXcqT
Leo stared at Carly 485Please respect copyright.PENANAjVwdp50XWj
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 485Please respect copyright.PENANA5OacWEt4Ug
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 485Please respect copyright.PENANAuSOHTJORLh
avoid any more problems.485Please respect copyright.PENANAji7Ioxcukr
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.485Please respect copyright.PENANA8zc19b5KEj
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.485Please respect copyright.PENANAj4CvW1zbtM
"Tea would be lovely, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAUWiLrgEcea
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 485Please respect copyright.PENANAXSJwvtf7sI
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 485Please respect copyright.PENANAtK5vVJj2zx
could have helped you."485Please respect copyright.PENANAa0PX7pTLsC
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2gJSUFiecs
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."485Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ3V2tfx8M
Carly gladly smiled at 485Please respect copyright.PENANAk2A51CyoIO
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 485Please respect copyright.PENANA6DcafeooFo
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 485Please respect copyright.PENANAKOqHn2WaLc
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 485Please respect copyright.PENANAX37gKNAbpO
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?485Please respect copyright.PENANAMxHqAdRHl2
And Leo? It was strange 485Please respect copyright.PENANAREHNLBpSNS
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 485Please respect copyright.PENANAKjwSRuSJJH
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 485Please respect copyright.PENANAkSTX2il5qB
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.485Please respect copyright.PENANAzL2oShUaQO
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.485Please respect copyright.PENANA5OojLiYBa1
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANABl9TFeQzdD
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.485Please respect copyright.PENANA5LAp3mHdJQ
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAeDSoXJzxDg
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."485Please respect copyright.PENANAepqQzNTZ47
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAUh0yxuRFm1
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."485Please respect copyright.PENANArwfAoOUInm
While Amanda and Angel 485Please respect copyright.PENANADOkrs9P537
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 485Please respect copyright.PENANAQvLcJ4ag5G
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared485Please respect copyright.PENANA19aChs8dmO
at the door.485Please respect copyright.PENANAnMcXUYgCey
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.485Please respect copyright.PENANA3FsZQ7x2lZ
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."485Please respect copyright.PENANAbAM3rt6QLk
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."485Please respect copyright.PENANATvX5aueG2w
"No, she didn't." Carly 485Please respect copyright.PENANAEPK30eMCKg
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 485Please respect copyright.PENANASsSSyvASSS
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 485Please respect copyright.PENANA2dYLx9ysiH
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 485Please respect copyright.PENANADofllfnUqj
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."485Please respect copyright.PENANALtby4X6L2k
"I don't care about 485Please respect copyright.PENANA6VKxLfkHVE
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from485Please respect copyright.PENANAAHGQN6z1rW
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 485Please respect copyright.PENANA55JSOcIPR4
are real."485Please respect copyright.PENANATZHNtCxBui
Carly smiled and she 485Please respect copyright.PENANAsHssDsNP12
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 485Please respect copyright.PENANAcWnnzxptAa
that she didn't want him to let her go.485Please respect copyright.PENANARlQl9TGjnK
She quickly turned 485Please respect copyright.PENANAgWkAOdmNHv
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAp6gskVjU67
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 485Please respect copyright.PENANAtP7Y949mVW
They would freak out."485Please respect copyright.PENANAJVvIDfxj6K
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.485Please respect copyright.PENANAtK8o404LHm
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."485Please respect copyright.PENANAmHc2wVQ1Yf
Leo continued to look 485Please respect copyright.PENANA86t1pZOa5O
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAW2bfOsHx5y
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.485Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nhh9C4dkx
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."485Please respect copyright.PENANAt4UocIxSkv
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"485Please respect copyright.PENANAYssVKeXVcL
"What's going on here?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAbWBzj2AqNC
Leo and Carly almost 485Please respect copyright.PENANAnNUSTE2QPW
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a485Please respect copyright.PENANAR0WqfVPKFc
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with485Please respect copyright.PENANADtpJSWfqtr
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.485Please respect copyright.PENANAv0phKdcFiN
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAiBDYujbTTf
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."485Please respect copyright.PENANAvBGs6cIkkr
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.485Please respect copyright.PENANApHMl5AOKCk
"For Amanda and Angel."485Please respect copyright.PENANAasxKDSSWFQ
"They are both awake?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAJHewmQynPY
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."485Please respect copyright.PENANAWEHeompW1t
Mrs McDonell looked at 485Please respect copyright.PENANARmTK5f5cg1
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 485Please respect copyright.PENANAS6sGYS4acu
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 485Please respect copyright.PENANAPkOPSJ4V0J
off.485Please respect copyright.PENANAYdk4u3Jjv3
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.485Please respect copyright.PENANAMCFqpAIDxc
Carly took the tray 485Please respect copyright.PENANAeYtw6dq7W1
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAPLnvS4eRI1
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 485Please respect copyright.PENANAahMyo6M3SS
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAbHeEI65hNG
corner.485Please respect copyright.PENANAyNYn4WOgQS
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."485Please respect copyright.PENANAKJZojwOSta
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.485Please respect copyright.PENANAHEzUdALqWS
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."485Please respect copyright.PENANAJE7l0yx68U
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."485Please respect copyright.PENANALHTBMN3vDV
Leo made his way to the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAAAZIJltl2N
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 485Please respect copyright.PENANAGnCFHC0f72
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANA8LOgxi2FLt
By seven, almost 485Please respect copyright.PENANAEcSird8XKU
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAMPJCrpxDOd
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 485Please respect copyright.PENANApZ6qbEDMxl
the lovely smell was intoxicating.485Please respect copyright.PENANAVOrAseU59B
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"485Please respect copyright.PENANACG4rRDIUtd
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 485Please respect copyright.PENANAmpWorv8MPh
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 485Please respect copyright.PENANA9WA32AjFQ8
time to go to school.485Please respect copyright.PENANAMGiI4OVSbc
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.485Please respect copyright.PENANAmleoOeubUK
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAIOsSSijrIZ
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."485Please respect copyright.PENANAFl2UoiG0RT
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.485Please respect copyright.PENANAcrkKcf3G5b
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2pmuSPyvYe
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.485Please respect copyright.PENANAsZpAcG9BIx
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANAnoriaqOzRU
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAJxuSXXCtfV
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."485Please respect copyright.PENANAHOfJxjQ87I
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.485Please respect copyright.PENANAwelqtFmaZA
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAwxWhJoHmWP
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and485Please respect copyright.PENANABPDtSVHqip
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 485Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rrt7mnWYT
them.485Please respect copyright.PENANA3qx3UwUc6w
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2NEp9j7WnJ
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.485Please respect copyright.PENANALDjM7HAuKu
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."485Please respect copyright.PENANApXhDGT1rHa
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAIyfc7AcSsy
"Right," Leo replied.485Please respect copyright.PENANA3zvCiuo5qC
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAaKsoEgQvTJ
Just as they were about 485Please respect copyright.PENANAUijJR0ynbl
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 485Please respect copyright.PENANATBD84lYYTv
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 485Please respect copyright.PENANAICo2WgOL6A
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.485Please respect copyright.PENANAvHoeThDFLC
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.485Please respect copyright.PENANAIUnu1YqBVR
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.485Please respect copyright.PENANAL7vQrunpZi
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."485Please respect copyright.PENANAwKnUyv6Cv3
Before Leo could reply 485Please respect copyright.PENANAb5mLiMmOXZ
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 485Please respect copyright.PENANAo5NhN8k08N
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 485Please respect copyright.PENANADj4Inm3QVu
looked away feeling irritated.485Please respect copyright.PENANAL3tHB4ScLA
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANAknmcweyDpY
Everyone else on the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAERU10HUjiT
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 485Please respect copyright.PENANAt92HQptQ11
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAmqqzFKSgUI
except Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z0MeQ6W7i
"This is just lovely," 485Please respect copyright.PENANAGRmFT6DOM6
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 485Please respect copyright.PENANAUetYyLuEA1
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 485Please respect copyright.PENANAv1utoNuT3n
really early."485Please respect copyright.PENANASTMsIAwEBi
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."485Please respect copyright.PENANAg4YrAZgLwC
"Your wife isn't here, 485Please respect copyright.PENANAqpePZLImAW
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 485Please respect copyright.PENANAuOyB4yCbDa
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."485Please respect copyright.PENANALmLktaSmCQ
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2GShY0kjqb
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.485Please respect copyright.PENANAgf5Bsgtq1k
Angel almost spelt the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAw9K6uMULra
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.485Please respect copyright.PENANAOQmLXX4bPL
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other485Please respect copyright.PENANAemHRogagdq
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 485Please respect copyright.PENANAt92Rj3cejg
just ran a hand through his hair.485Please respect copyright.PENANA12YkO7s82O
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.485Please respect copyright.PENANAnUf8OdIVKm
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.485Please respect copyright.PENANA1eYRdfjhGx
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."485Please respect copyright.PENANAxg8WSxyFRR
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.485Please respect copyright.PENANA0eLnYdtrn8
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."485Please respect copyright.PENANAVDkH61gfWJ
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."485Please respect copyright.PENANAKLXYKOyoB4
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.485Please respect copyright.PENANA6bA9Uf3OeW
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.485Please respect copyright.PENANA30fXV6B6h1
"Have to go to school," he said.485Please respect copyright.PENANAKXrtzNGL5s
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.485Please respect copyright.PENANA4ACLq97Uyo
Oliver came round the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAk7I3Kg5UB7
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 485Please respect copyright.PENANApBtNUxZuFZ
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 485Please respect copyright.PENANAZRbQ5inBJI
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 485Please respect copyright.PENANAzvRcb8Ktrm
ears.485Please respect copyright.PENANASFirvg08CT
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.485Please respect copyright.PENANAr2TpRLQVgu
"So adorable," said Carly.485Please respect copyright.PENANAsiRPEUgTbC
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.485Please respect copyright.PENANABN3i1naEKL
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."485Please respect copyright.PENANA7M2udM3p21
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."485Please respect copyright.PENANAlT5dE6xECp
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."485Please respect copyright.PENANAn0PVBzeNPf
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"485Please respect copyright.PENANANI1fFvMnTC
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.485Please respect copyright.PENANAHcyKJOXRp3
"Well, I do."485Please respect copyright.PENANALuHCvDXkLH
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."485Please respect copyright.PENANAL9crzxqW1h
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.485Please respect copyright.PENANAI6r57db5HW
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAw0YcU2uPVj
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.485Please respect copyright.PENANAgBVPp3m5aE
"I'll find you in the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAPAiZvT39IX
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 485Please respect copyright.PENANAqyJxelpoaw
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.485Please respect copyright.PENANAYtC0mqWiyO
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAPpaxKV6u0O
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.485Please respect copyright.PENANAtXazkGWrO4
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."485Please respect copyright.PENANAjhnPH4TtTt
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."485Please respect copyright.PENANASCNgojDyfc
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAvpOKrC7i61
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.485Please respect copyright.PENANAHs2KVsyFfC
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.485Please respect copyright.PENANAwgUEc4Jo43
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.485Please respect copyright.PENANAuXBPSuUrq3
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAK8ROCXHHRu
Before Carly could 485Please respect copyright.PENANALo4SCBqLZi
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 485Please respect copyright.PENANAeGKUaPR5Hj
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 485Please respect copyright.PENANApRSXQ7TfUw
interested about what her sister was up to.485Please respect copyright.PENANAD2YCwvamWF
"I'll join you," said 485Please respect copyright.PENANAoyOiFhKIeI
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures485Please respect copyright.PENANATEl6vE7KMH
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."485Please respect copyright.PENANAHWhw7889s0
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."485Please respect copyright.PENANARpfArnS9uc
"I'll go get ready," 485Please respect copyright.PENANAMUjrbRIHKP
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 485Please respect copyright.PENANAA9xeY3nfRZ
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 485Please respect copyright.PENANAuNYwdvTsO3
times.485Please respect copyright.PENANAs7Xuf4N0Z0
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.485Please respect copyright.PENANAFhN7NpgSda
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.485Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5ttvjlakv
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."485Please respect copyright.PENANAoAIbmnlAFc
The last thing Leo 485Please respect copyright.PENANAQHDHsgXbkh
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 485Please respect copyright.PENANAe4kvg0Wxne
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.485Please respect copyright.PENANA4hPcLqLol0
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.485Please respect copyright.PENANAKqfQlEPl5B
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."485Please respect copyright.PENANAdPP31C8wtC
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.485Please respect copyright.PENANAIgakywWFLB
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.485Please respect copyright.PENANAK7LS4xedCF
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."485Please respect copyright.PENANAsFPTERlVZA
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.485Please respect copyright.PENANAXZOkqO4FHd
"Yes. It's really 485Please respect copyright.PENANArKnq6LoefN
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk485Please respect copyright.PENANAN2iZbwZyIx
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 485Please respect copyright.PENANAU2gA7ogWun
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 485Please respect copyright.PENANADdepda6Q96
since I'm so old."485Please respect copyright.PENANABqVVF6qDYq
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAA7SXas6xhi
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.485Please respect copyright.PENANAwNuC7qxzCl
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAlj8MZpmjnm
Leo sighed. He looked 485Please respect copyright.PENANAKbaymMKIH7
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife485Please respect copyright.PENANA1PlJWgA8K2
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 485Please respect copyright.PENANACBQx4KW7Zc
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.485Please respect copyright.PENANAKiAZsEct0M
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."485Please respect copyright.PENANAbTlP6oxy10
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
