The phone alarm woke Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d0pveLugE
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGiTlKgtRN
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzLKC4azFj
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZHrbjOR9A
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC8e3czKVo
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvDehgZdzL
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDU9i9krLG
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFnRRh6Xhq
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N60e9HUCF
After taking a shower, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V5vMPHBm4
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx6kLqNR9I
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs83NlYMhn
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAmvuAgxfB
ever. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXF1oWooPZ
He soon went out of his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCFC3VSDlo
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuYFfVLVjk
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ZSCbthWq
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CsGDtqrPT
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9HqFrRIHX
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSCbdifaqW
him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFTGsojleC
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX8AWVmXyU
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LKU8rqDtD
"Don't ruin the mood by 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EIEUk7dqb
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsqym3z31S
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2tMxc5PCO
Leo smiled as he 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj0bCGy5kR
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBWJ01bI3h
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYLLNHz7Xo
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirssrxW2pT
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVLm2ZIDU
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenWzFJTBZK
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOySdEA08yq
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RRKFIVepX
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXY9k4UtGG
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaXZuGRxWf
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JkDxSu1pm
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Itb263va5
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEcgrat9QA
"She is, actually," said760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKRSS3QSL
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vn4FiNaZq
anything to you. You have me around."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMaIM7QiLf
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXNCp0SFbf
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4FkBCfU1X
Before Carly could say 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd311C0HHu
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUhDNGVXt1
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvaVfUxqe
"What was that?" Leo asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdhOlf5yhy
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTmrVlZP6y
Carly got to Angel's 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3DPOTmXPL
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMff0hm1ci
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjYJAKoylr
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu4GPPGK93
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RcxZzKfLO
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbBaxnoCK0
"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."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCBm0qCHTB
"You know you're not 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kmWPQBSd7
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC2TrY6esv
for help. You never change, Angel."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzpmrDtdmV
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTSe2EuvIh
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu6WQ1EX8M
"No thanks, I'm fine."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN334l0qzX
Angel went on to look at760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSLsAefYBg
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe3YBX7BSu
then she went on to stare at Carly.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5urIqeE60
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJMRlsk1Mw
Carly paused as she 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEj3RhMJlz
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1nekmZWt3
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7QUGtoQCG
Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZt9WcfZCU
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ZblEFRjI
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eX6rRzKyd
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAy1L8Nhnq
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLTwaLRwsv
hurt or anything."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdWsK437Rd
"May you please drag me 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCexhtPnPmX
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDxi5Ni2lV
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bk2Ez7I8
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ0PEhIOg0
"Just like Carly said, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXOIXvSxwr
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87CAkjKci
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8P7OAnHMZ
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VNgqlUh35
The room soon had an 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZoEmgVYGE
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMEHH171ST
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVVkMp40Qg
awkwardness.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65euqdtar2
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu75eUUQtbW
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FJGEYMsct
"Sure."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRgv8yQeMp
Leo stared at Carly 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJXiScNpZ
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIElHL40w
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S4HpiVFQc
avoid any more problems.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL9BNJtBzo
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgBLB0OiQj
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbF5kJrLCj
"Tea would be lovely, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXdGajxyN
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCKUlrQYwU
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjypGMKP6wO
could have helped you."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65lm4NQiZe
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYAi7D8UYm
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxIHooRtW7
Carly gladly smiled at 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXARknZt7n
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrwidRcyce
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBMncJZUHR
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ5oFa0E5k
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoBbO0RgSs
And Leo? It was strange 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6CtK0Nyo
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0yyzEzWKS
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnycvEF4IUs
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkmlUK7GIA
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHPpDPfpCC
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8eklorBS
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEmsjaYS5P
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZTIfqxugv
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwJyhQcbk3
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEGC7QweeN
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7InC8YcxJZ
While Amanda and Angel 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTmMzS8qHa
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISi2hvJFD1
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOszDCA5xOH
at the door.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMeTJ2zidv
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODlJhmyitr
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu2U8E1cNY
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJDDAtoo9J
"No, she didn't." Carly 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8z1AwxJpM
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCSbQAyNX
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UEMzWsLPR
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZxT9qphAz
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZICMvHkXi0
"I don't care about 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO11ZurVTx
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX4nh2pBMu
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5Hq7mw5L
are real."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZbLSrIX9E
Carly smiled and she 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSje4v0EOcE
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRAOBtJvAA
that she didn't want him to let her go.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXsmFBzP0h
She quickly turned 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX94DLG1mbV
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rr424VSnm
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXp8R9hIW3
They would freak out."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde7gcw1kfj
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxkbMprldz
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9uDEMxvF
Leo continued to look 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCGs4BMtdP
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOwNAk3JIq
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaXvMuNX8z
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevY7NWlJh
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjVceKsLg0
"What's going on here?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6AkbX2hBp
Leo and Carly almost 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8d86H0htZ
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlmjJjS25H
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRXuMqBUrv
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKDUeJxo8W
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhlIyUIPIf
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOua0xdRl6
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMfduMsO4Z
"For Amanda and Angel."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGKBvEl4dZ
"They are both awake?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tlszhRC0B
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCEQT8vVz
Mrs McDonell looked at 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjefe6wsOD
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4mJ9l0k9P
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzH4BRczCe
off.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE6uZT4IAK
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy2OoqlThu
Carly took the tray 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nw0iuTmhM
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEhsSYJ4U
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLM7fNU4KN
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkUSu2atjm
corner.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeY1Y5AKo1
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2XahbTTl
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoyQ35puxH
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NgLyyq5Md
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqoal44e0E
Leo made his way to the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrH1XjGVNH
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWntFyiip
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFzsdtxBxk
By seven, almost 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24r8znLZn
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP2tDg7wDc
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqQOVHKWkr
the lovely smell was intoxicating.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtLZd2traS
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOAApQNsMW
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDxMWuG3lp
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56fVKG0gk1
time to go to school.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrio59PbB
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOug81UxOm
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPSAUM1lZs
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5FYCoBSLL
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfT2jLSGre
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH64uakGPH
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bc0jznPNk
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLH9UEHgFR
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaOCfNmUn3
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ2T37VFDu
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EAuyyu5Yn
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ557vkooWwl
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWJyJD0huu
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNJhHNPjS1
them.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU09OUFS88
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAnYpqo1H3
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4urN86512
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWKCiYA2v
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvRf5scbWz
"Right," Leo replied.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOnbI9YUh
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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WCP8rag3
Just as they were about 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHrqTLrgum
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr7121xsrR
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJYxFiFmU
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaI4OSVfsC
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQZPhykHeg
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw67xsQAm5
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4iyoD3WDU
Before Leo could reply 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQBakb58V
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwbDRjiSgL
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVSnvXyaPi
looked away feeling irritated.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlARdQpHRO
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBoUpfL1O9
Everyone else on the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eitgKZdsi
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4m95K1zSR
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDup5JB8ao
except Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfIFf56iu9
"This is just lovely," 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFtVegtxrG
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK9xKRTycH
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhniFh20Wm
really early."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aF7hoDLmN
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMjXJU0vta
"Your wife isn't here, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFqusBTEMb
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCNM1Jc4RE
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DC51weC70
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhLP2o9E3y
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQBWiqWru
Angel almost spelt the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavNNBr0klB
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KRLbLOOhc
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SUuG7ud2Z
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTB0rCdnth
just ran a hand through his hair.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40q0ruY02B
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4qNoTkMBp
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXHKCqn94S
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhjUGnJ2WU
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9NRpDjtcr
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1Ndj2EPF
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAVmhx1gBv
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbqPtxPQQe
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAde42qxZT
"Have to go to school," he said.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgyaRfYKIB
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewHpz9rtp
Oliver came round the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfynXpnV0r
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUszJnK3hN
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHXgvfD5oC
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iHwwB735
ears.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BzrSqr5KB
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtUoXQgOqk
"So adorable," said Carly.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXKxl0nUhn
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHgYxQgg7c
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi55qu2JubR
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTQH9Ro2SB
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWIkwL1f8x
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqESYgmoTo0
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSdlRV5cRy
"Well, I do."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqzA3BAgzG
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvZfyE0ZZ
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9he2OYnHrg
"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."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSpW00OJq
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTHNuuHcSz
"I'll find you in the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgw9pMNMOP
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o115YQm4T
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8BhyTKO4j
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KBnLgmC0g
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGLLXcBLqG
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc5tVQjuyK
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil9iAdLBid
"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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYO5Dg3NfC
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a4GjrXNye
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDLygiqoW
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqABisMSTEA
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeOTXW4LtX
Before Carly could 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvjei5gnkg
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBaEXpGn7i
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttoel9Svch
interested about what her sister was up to.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0gLnUFbM8
"I'll join you," said 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ipRfuv2ia
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhJHyMyavm
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREbCI70FL6
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77zn2O5M4M
"I'll go get ready," 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWENSxPDpx
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtSVyX3rcS
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yBsvgSKSV
times.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TjGhIZxHf
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWzEYLnYW5
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9OZTMPvfE
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAn8jlNfLn
The last thing Leo 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHzYEsELV
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ymLzKmFP
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9CA9NSbRR
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckkYODRYed
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvYWe3FPIR
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpmRBafek1
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqar5qXbq4
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fHYBcErai
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOPir9OIgx
"Yes. It's really 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RY4bJvKUr
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLdvGRcb2n
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqQ62mdJxh
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2st0ODMPDK
since I'm so old."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcilG4uieY
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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gLwBBSWu
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvD0cIZv3c
"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?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK5lnnTRKL
Leo sighed. He looked 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEYN3U4Vok
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qrhboJFJ9
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKwoilP8t3
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWJgysMDU
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxYvVEJe8W
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
