How I like my tea

A Change of Heart

Me and German didn't move at all yesterday. After I shocked Violetta and Olga, we stayed upstairs all day. Well it was me who stayed upstairs all day, as I enjoyed the company of German as he bought me cups of tea Olga had made me.

This morning, I decided, should return to normal. Everyone will be expecting answers and I cannot hide from them forever. So even though German is still asleep and I could easily wait for him to wake up and play with my hair or rub circles on my back, I decide I should move straight away.

I'm quickly showered and dressed and I head downstairs to see Violetta and Olga already sitting at the table.

"Morning!" I called as I grabbed my mug and poured myself some tea.

"Morning Angie," said Vilu "I see you decided to get out of bed today."

She was grinning like the Cheshire cat again. She worries me when she does that, it always means she's thinking something.

"Why are you smiling like that Violetta?" I ask stirring in my sugar.

"No reason." she replied with a shrug.

"Spill it." I say watching her as she twirls her hair around her finger.

"I can't. Not what I was thinking." She smiled and began to giggle, "but I can tell you this, I'm pretty sure that's number three."

Olga nodded in agreement.

"Three." she says still nodding.

"You two are obsessed. It was nothing." I say ignoring their remarks.

"If that was nothing, boy I'd like to see some- Dad! Hi, morning!" I turned to see German stood directly behind me, his arms leaning on the top of my chair.

He leaned his head down next to my ear.

"Sleep well?" he whispers

"Very." I reply keeping my voice hushed.

"Listen, not now but in a few minutes say you have to go upstairs. There is a surprise for you in our room."

He lifts his head and then continues to take a seat next to Ramallo who had entered when he was speaking to me.

Violetta looked at me suspiciously but still had a giant grin on her face.

"I'm going out this morning for a bit if that's okay dad?"

German turned to face Violetta, "Of course! Not a problem! Have fun!"

Violetta's face dropped, just then Germans office phone rang.

"Please excuse me." He entered his office and closed the door.

"Angie, Who is that man and what have you done with my Dad?" Violetta is staring at me wide eyed. So is Olga and Ramallo.  

"He did not ask me what I was doing, Who I would be with, How long I would be, When I would be back, If I trusted the area or the people." She is bewildered and continues to look at me wide eyed, "then he told me to have fun!"

All three faced me very confused. I didn't fancy trying to answer their question.

"That is an interesting question Vilu and I will answer it later but right now I have to go upstairs, please excuse me."
