I Love You

Chapter 9

Alex woke up to the smell of fresh pancakes, obviously work of Claritsa. He checked his phone to see what time it was, six in the morning.

Alex: "They're probably leaving breakfast and heading to work afterwards."

Alex tucked his head back down, facing Angelie. A smile emerged from his face as he thought only on the paragraph Angelie had left him. He places his hand on Angelie's cheek, moving his thumb as if cuddling her face. He then hears Richard and Claritsa heading to the living room from the kitchen. The both began speaking in a low tone.

Claritsa: Maybe we should call in sick today.
Richard: We can't keep skipping work honey.
Claritsa: I know, but we still need to have that talk with Alex.
Richard: Look, the most we can do is come home around three, if we skip work just to talk to Alex, we'll have to find new jobs.
Claritsa: Why do you always exaggerate?
Richard: I don't try to, I'm being realistic.
Richard: Today we'll come back early and we'll talk to him, both you and I.
Claritsa: OK, let's get going, I don't want them to wake up.
Richard: Put the sticky note on the TV so they can see it.

(Claritsa places the note on the TV as Richard opens the door and they finally head out.)

Alex gets up from the couch very carefully so that Angelie wouldn't wake up. He hurried to the kitchen to check out the batch of pancakes Angelie's mother had made. Twelve pancakes in all, four for each. Alex got his four and began eating without even sitting down. He began thinking of how funny it would be if Frances came downstairs to find a shirtless thief eating their food. Then he thought about how strange it was that Claritsa wouldn't want to go to work, just to have a talk with him.

Alex: "I wonder what's so important, what's she got to say that makes it all worth while missing work?"
Alex: "Maybe she just wanted to stay home and miss out on work."

Back in the living room, Angelie had awoken as she searched for her boyfriend body warmth.

Angelie: "He's already awake?"

(She grabs his phone to check the time.)

Angelie: " Six twenty?! What would get him up at this time?"

She gets off the couch as she searches for her boyfriend.

Angelie: "His shirt's still here and its warm too, he must've just gotten up."

Angelie checks in the bathroom on the second floor, no luck. She goes downstairs quietly and hears a noise in the kitchen.

Angelie: "That's definitely him."

She makes her way to the kitchen as quiet as possible and just before completely entering, she peeks from the side of the wall. She watches him as he ate his syrupless pancakes. Shirt off reviling a ripped back, evidence of his continuous workouts. She tries to resist her urge of falling into her deep attraction for Alex, but alas, it was worthless. She creeps up behind him, passing her hands around his back, biting her lips as she felt her boyfriend's muscular back. Alex becomes shocked, as he though his girlfriend was deep asleep. Alex began shivering as Angelie passed her hands from his back to his pecks and down to his abs.

Alex: You having fun there?
Angelie: Oh God yes.
Angelie: Why does it feel you've been working out more?
Alex: I haven't touched a weight in a while, I guess its because you haven't done it in so long.
Angelie: This is so sexy you know.
Alex: Still don't know why women find this attractive, its just muscle.

(She turns Alex to face her directly.)

Angelie: To me, all of this is what my ass and boobs are to you.
Alex: Sexy, attractive and tempting?
Angelie: All of the above Daddy.
