Angelo's POV
Tranquility.
Serene, sated, at peace, relaxed...........content.
That's how everything felt when i woke up this morning.
It's a feeling i am getting used to receiving every time i spend time with my little angel.
A feeling i have become addicted to.
That became very clear to me, as i watched her try to get out of bed carefully so not to wake me up, even though unknown to her, i have been awake for a few minutes already, needing to get up, but unable to leave her side just yet.
She picked up a towel and wrapped it around herself and took careful calculated steps to the bathroom. I almost felt bad at her predicament, she must be completely tired and worn out from a night of endless lovemaking, not that she was complaining.
I don't know why, but we couldn't get enough of each other, even when we went down to make a light meal, we were unable to keep our hands off each other, so we ate, watched the news and went back to bed.
My life can be suffocating sometimes, i work crazy hours because i am handling alot of business besides my law career, and my personal life hasn't been a piece of cake either, so many times i felt numb, just passing through it all.
But meeting Marianne has created a little bubble where i feel alive again, excited and energized about life.
Every moment we spend together is always better than the last, and last night was by far the best for me.
What i wouldn't give to stay home all day and just shut off the rest of the world from our little paradise.
And how i wish i had done just that, shut off the rest of the world from us, even if it was only going to be for a few more minutes of tranquility.
Because all it took was one phone call.
One phone call to burst me out of the bubble i am floating in and thrusting me back into the chaos that is my world.
The very last thing i expected today was to hear Claire's voice on the other end of the line.
"Claire??" i ask again in disbelief, the familiar sound of her voice coming off hestitant and unsure on the other end.
"Yeah, I know it's out of the blue, but....." she murmurs.
"Out of the blue?? It's been three years" i retort.
"I know, can we talk?" she asks.
I look at the bathroom door where Marianne just dissapeared off too.
"Ange?" Claire's voice brings me out of my thoughts.
"Hold on" I say and reach for some clothes.
I walk out of the bedroom and put the phone back to my ear again.
"Yeah"
"Listen, i am sorry, i know its been a while and it's out of the blue, but i wanted to talk to you, if that's ok" she utters slowly.
I make it down stairs and walk to the office without responding to her.
I run my fingers through my hair as i process this.
This has caught me by surprise. I tried for months to get in touch with her, but her family wouldnt let me see her, blaming me for how she chose to react to her problems and when i tried to talk to her on the phone when i did managed to get to her, she refused to talk to me.
And now out of the blue, she wants to talk.
What does she want?
"Ange, please say something"

Romance"You have got to be kidding me" he utters suddenly. "What?" i ask and follow his line of sight down to the ground floor front desk. "Angelo? What's wrong" i ask again, concern creeping into me as I put my hand over his on the table. "Nothing's wrong...
