The phone alarm woke Leo727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvYkwAYrs
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsXfoXl3Ok
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvlUBWWrML
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31umLsbprJ
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxcHQQaV8K
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9EGgMAoUs
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYoSvNvBus
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00643K7TlU
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogG6mtzkjM
After taking a shower, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDpYaIpiOF
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlTJAR8NmQ
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIv18sEl5u
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLCqemCqs9
ever. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRO3B2Vji
He soon went out of his 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgQqkwuRGO
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoYt8pmCeG
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupZFTluYd
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKH5NjV1Rt
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPzV2uxP65
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2RRFIhLpQ
him.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPwSloufMW
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNjueUknSv
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3mzoswyAR
"Don't ruin the mood by 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrvc6pNjvW
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JjvIayrjz
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTUfBm9PTZ
Leo smiled as he 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOdbkugUKk
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ2NYlOXb7
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLsjwnAiJ8
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFWfbI219
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr4WHj0Wy2
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ubXmUoJZ7
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rrkiGDa1f
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjsg1KQFyY
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXPokLiZGX
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OHhWLkRwQ
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J0G3LxAT9
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnfFFwt7d
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfuzQhQjUw
"She is, actually," said727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7qzFtr0Lb
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwFRXS4rSH
anything to you. You have me around."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQaT7Gkbp
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4FtaxXpp5
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bhjXykFN1
Before Carly could say 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTn864CYqQ
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3QXyNNa0
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud3kyJ99z6
"What was that?" Leo asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTlHRhiF3t
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaSpGWJWz0
Carly got to Angel's 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUjX2sUVaX
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dpLsJTkMO
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D5FrKoxUK
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPl1ICCH9f
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XAEbr8vX0
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh25tgeNjIk
"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."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARkzR0p5Mw
"You know you're not 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGtB1FFXtp
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvLaRLbcWM
for help. You never change, Angel."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvKLghlKZ4
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTW6kDlaH2
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCmUA1OOJ7
"No thanks, I'm fine."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh09TmVZ9lR
Angel went on to look at727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvfMYchSz7
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ie5snTkAb
then she went on to stare at Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFNJ4VLQ8h
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgcGL6hmTJ
Carly paused as she 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDZgirLPm7
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOUUyqb4Rv
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQSWpHhSxW
Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIP54zEmsA
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5q5sUycSq
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cOZjIT1Mc
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntU6BRKKiI
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ474wHDHodz
hurt or anything."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjzgmLsMA7
"May you please drag me 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxoVsnFqui
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJqCBNyn5A
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjwvDW90Rh
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr26ku2qk4
"Just like Carly said, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPW5hLeaSg
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqbJtwczdc
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4TOFAtC8M
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CkikXAJET
The room soon had an 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK9NICJQff
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPLJ87AH52
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwwyJwfcv
awkwardness.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pxHdobG6j
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBCGqzgQAX
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQRlCsnw9I
"Sure."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1X9v4Pu7m
Leo stared at Carly 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFL4qfwojC
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n9DAqsOxN
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tZPrewxLl
avoid any more problems.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBeMfnSX9X
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmUjRy3IMZ
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaQfiyi253
"Tea would be lovely, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdllfs4uKQN
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPwOvrDQr
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S7F4YRM5r
could have helped you."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbdEKx02gK
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknXhGDPn5I
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSBd003Fw
Carly gladly smiled at 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1noTeR26
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDcdEffYR3
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPG7dWzRoh
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4RBBPRPp
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyg51dtqZ6
And Leo? It was strange 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xX4jPbgtL
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbarzm1Xfm
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qKxtfYvA2
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqINMPIfBi
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxxylxp8Q1
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEkikkfU2b
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqltqlq2np
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFudhQJmd5h
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHY2JvZNX2
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m3vOTpT31
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXQaFXrlTh
While Amanda and Angel 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq35hjgz2kb
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsBoCWnHsh
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXns1biOOj
at the door.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr82DSmaw0
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV720808AL
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByBBbgfRWV
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVp2tzqUZy
"No, she didn't." Carly 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOTePs4InA
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDTvxjZSvh
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcdlF6AWyF
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHXELbbwOE
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9jnFl84rX
"I don't care about 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbagNs488rq
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaqyiYcRNg
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Ecd6JSo1
are real."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoVmGGesps
Carly smiled and she 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iCVpE8Jue
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH07Sc842T
that she didn't want him to let her go.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ofEmhGa5
She quickly turned 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HWY9YKg9D
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZjBPlCmnj
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9sThFmnbc
They would freak out."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkPHx3tTeL
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yVtopfXtk
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QAaj35dVK
Leo continued to look 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrheVSUxCB
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSl3cTWFPP
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljfLSrlqiI
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCEYeFW0ie
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr2E2Ypsr0
"What's going on here?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNmi9PIMbW
Leo and Carly almost 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QjpbklHV
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BVRkZxQpF
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZvEFkdHCv
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUcSLyIsY2
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3wjwwd5l
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a40v3WONE
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66hgRDMuef
"For Amanda and Angel."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pu0ZqLmeF
"They are both awake?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4oHsiXZ4N
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27Vi5LBzC
Mrs McDonell looked at 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO3YoSoEff
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNZR4JlGHY
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFwc3ORjYG
off.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZeb2zezn1
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEbUgrJd4
Carly took the tray 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNRF5xAbh
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXoxFEQfIn
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OS057cUMb
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXTSIKg8JY
corner.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3hNzyBgSf
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgCStSydz4
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNPQzLvn4r
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrI9j6VICn
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwovO6fmZq
Leo made his way to the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHe7t9sjD
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY3KdecNUC
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl55ybZNWuB
By seven, almost 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWs5qn3hbv
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UTKXpEDmH
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYKO2qlQs2
the lovely smell was intoxicating.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDFWuMQLym
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4k5u9k7DU
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJAJvkYtGo
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FBz4OrmOB
time to go to school.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPDt5b7hgY
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0MpaPzYja
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8ASYE0OxH
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fFkVhZ532
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs5le8RZWW
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wv6c7WBnJ
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pj37z18vL
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3exHEUhI
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOQ6lICiy
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmMSD0obs4
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhDSOi3jCX
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxigtqpd5
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNKOdSbfDk
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNkSBBDxXF
them.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjfjSoXMip
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpFIiIZCl1
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX9XS8R8DG
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFwpjJmhAY
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuPptgeU3
"Right," Leo replied.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJasoXgDaNP
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.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROVZujfCI
Just as they were about 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm9zmdcAwV
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aBuYAstHt
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jGV4zURWP
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MmVZlquOG
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMKEeBZGjo
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv7IVNdwoa
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13eN81QFZ4
Before Leo could reply 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd48VWJKpt7
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LFlQF17Rn
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbDwCnvvXH
looked away feeling irritated.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBzSQJsgzW
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEMcz95HYA
Everyone else on the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a3kPoxyqA
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtpIoa3e7T
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMejEd8OmFs
except Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIHWBGN0gQ
"This is just lovely," 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZiSxf07Zk
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfTRs3igFu
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo3589QicN
really early."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffCIFFL6FK
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l1tM7WRnU
"Your wife isn't here, 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUSVMDGmKw
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ENiHMApw
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXo8ErT0P
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexdEr23bhv
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtMWOrpmIE
Angel almost spelt the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFGRnS4YdF
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6oUqrY8XN
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN62hpFPJH
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jF5JIrdj9
just ran a hand through his hair.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CBdEcOFlx
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeScv84s6O
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ1yHF9scZ
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4uj2yvIRB
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqySpEdtlGk
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbnBznHfLQ
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbydsylkc9f
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuud10kcOL
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxnxp7ubJH
"Have to go to school," he said.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYnu0suaqj
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxi7Qb9XAD
Oliver came round the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYtHFXKNIA
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt43Ao9WN9P
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZXUqGPbis
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIYnsup6B
ears.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCjxB8rQnr
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhDmDSVbaK
"So adorable," said Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcUJxpUBSp
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10QM4B9wJo
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EHz51mhKa
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh5eDl7I91
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1jLkwlyFm
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIRSJRNzkB
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uVnJQTCZr
"Well, I do."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWOWoXMwnT
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyiSsvE1J
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO53nBbYiuR
"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."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVixxYpolJO
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC2dTeZ3Ue
"I'll find you in the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYSolA9sNl
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY5OElWZlE
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcL1Cbv6gI
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qNCeywqws
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDei4IPNtuv
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKZS3vfLkf
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzdNDFNufy
"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.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzIdXt0xoh
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr78mJtWvx
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6DilUGPgK
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz7E4OTDQE
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5KdlYS7Qh
Before Carly could 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWXzvWGErK
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXaqI3qDKn
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzMvXVgGKr
interested about what her sister was up to.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjgWKUHFKI
"I'll join you," said 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8xptyakky
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDBRxBvLV
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2vyyF796
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghaumjx7KP
"I'll go get ready," 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7qC4JaiiY
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIEBpkACTz
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV5oW4vujf
times.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDhdSlTjji
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi63cOA29Bv
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jjq1UAWbB
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eyopziuQz
The last thing Leo 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCtbmanfDw
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1IJydLwFU
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EHdh4rHeQ
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIbpKWyw8J
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Y1oSv7NP
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25o7rKf74Q
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqXiH9AkmP
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GXoDgfL2
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgXeoXDOZd
"Yes. It's really 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1639PgQBpf
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBReG3nZh8K
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VaPPT5ZA0
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZSrsXnEI
since I'm so old."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw5bUG509g
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.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBwWpNLxr9
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa777JFGAQN
"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?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDWrC1NbiK
Leo sighed. He looked 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKcA02XfCa
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFLHdZvWN2
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZZi2TkhcE
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFZLr1sqxG
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjlpN4hM0n
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
