Germangie meets The Count of Monte Cristo

Chapter 9 - Talking

Angie's POV:

After the party finished the guests were leaving slowly, but when German and the others were about to leave Edmond stopped him.

- Mr. Castillo! - he called after him and I was really confused. I didn't know what he was planning with German, but I had a bad feeling about that.

German looked after Priscilla and made sure that she already left then he came back to us.

- Yes, count? What is it?

- Can I invite you to my house for lunch tomorrow? - he asked with a mysterious smile on his face - I want to talk to you about some business thing, if you don't mind.

- Well, uhm... actually I'm free tomorrow so... okay.... - German replied hesitantly.

- Perfect! - said Edmond excitedly and soon German and all the others left the house.

- What was that all about? - I asked him when we were finally alone - Why did you invite him here again?

- Easy now - he laughed - You don't need to meet him. And besides as I heard you're going to the Studio tomorrow, don't you?

- Y-Yes...

- See? I only want to talk to him alone... I'm not gonna involve you into this if you don't want to - he said then kissed my forehead softly - So don't stress yourself...

- Okay... - I sighed and he was about to leave when I pulled him back - Edmond...

- Yes?

- Were you... were you serious about what you said... on the balcony tonight...? - I asked, a bit nervously.

- I was serious - he replied, smiling.

- B-But you and Mercedes...

- Is the past... - he cut me off - She betrayed me just as much as the others... If she wouldn't she would have recognized me right away...

He then came closer to me and gave me a soft and loving smile that I could always melt of.

- And as I told you before... you're not someone I could play around with... Because I truly love you and I want to give you the happiness that so far no one could...

- Thank you... - I sighed and blushed slightly as he said that. Sometimes I feel like he's just saying that to make me feel better.

- It's alright - he smiled - Now go and get some sleep...

- Uhm... Before that... - I muttered, blushing even more now. He looked at me confused for some seconds then he smiled and kissed me on the lips lovingly.

- Happy now? - he said jokingly.

- Very - I smiled then I went to my room to get some sleep.

----- NEXT DAY -----

On the morning I got a text from German that he wants to talk to me about something important so even though I didn't want to see him I still went to the Castillo house because I felt like he doesn't want to talk about us, but about something else.

When I arrived I knocked on the door and Priscilla opened it.

- Angie! - she faked a smile - If you're looking for Violetta then she's already out.

- Uhm... Actually German called me over...

- Oh... Well, come in and I'll tell him that you're here - she mumbled, looking really jealous and I must admit I quite liked the jealousy on her face.

When I went inside Priscilla headed upstairs and I headed to the kitchen to greet Olga.

- Hello, Olgita! - I said, grinning happily.

When she saw me she came up to me and hugged me tightly in happiness.

- Angie!! You're finally home again!

- Aaaand I'm not going anywhere far away for a while!

- Are you moving back to the house as well?

- I don't think I will, Olga... But I'll visit as much as possible!

- That's great to hear! - Olga smiled happily - Now tell me... How is it going with you? What were you doing in France? Did you got any new friends? Or a boyfriend?

I immediately blushed as she said "boyfriend" and she noticed it too.

- Ooooh! Who is the lucky one??

- Well.... - and I began to tell her the story in short.

- Aww! But wait!

- Huh?

- You had feelings for Mr. German back then, didn't you?

- Y....es... And?

- He honestly seemed a bit depressed after he came back from that party...

- What do you mean?

- I mean he seemed like a truly sad lover who lost his beloved....

- Ah, Olga! I don't think so - I shaked my head - Besides why would he be sad? He got Priscilla as his girlfriend so...

I couldn't help, but sigh at this part.

- He easily forgot about me so many times... He'll forget this too...

- You didn't see him when you left to France - Olga sighed.

- Why? How was he?

- I haven't seen him this depressed in my life! He wasn't this sad even when Lady Maria died!

- It was because he lost his other love of his life, but this time the woman moved to the other side of the world - said Ramallo who just walked into the kitchen - But I hope you'll forgive his stupidness, Miss Angie... Even if you don't have feelings for him anymore atleast give him a chance to be friends again...

- That's easy to say, Ramallo - I sighed - I trusted him as a friend back then, but he left me and lied to me anyway...

- I know, I know... - Ramallo sighed too - But I honestly don't know what else can I say...

- I don't know either, but you haven't hugged me yet! - I snapped jokingly and went to hug him - I missed you as well, Ramallo!

- I missed you too, Angie!

- Let me join! - Olga cried and now it was the three of us hugging.

- What's happening here? - questioned German who just walked into the kitchen, really confused.

- Group hug!! - cried Olga then pulled German into the hug too, But I didn't really mind. I hugged him also just as much as the other two idiot. Oh god, I missed them so much...
