Germangie meets The Count of Monte Cristo

Chapter 10 - Anger

After we broke apart Olga and Ramallo left the kitchen and and me and German left alone.

- You called me here... - I started since we wasn't talking - Why?

- I wanted to talk to you... - he replied.

- About what?

He took a deep breath then looked into my eyes...

- Why did you lie to me?

- I told you that I wanted to be as far away from you as possible!

- No, I'm not talking about you leaving, but about you not being with HIM!

- What...?

- I saw you and him on the balcony after I left... - he muttered, looking away - He kissed you... And you didn't even pull away...

- So you saw us... - I sighed.

- Yes...

- German, I don't think I owe you with any explanations after all you did to me back then... - I said firmly, but yet it hurted me to say it - It's my personal business that who I am with. But if you really want to know it all happened last night because he heard what I said to you about him.

- And he did that to make me jealous?

- What? No, you moron! - I snapped - You have no idea how much he doesn't care about you, German... But he does care about me and this makes me happy.

- But Angie, I...

- No, don't start the same! - I cut him off - You're with Priscilla anyway. Enjoy your life with her and I'll enjoy my life with the count...

----- TIME SKIP -----

After this argument with German I went to the Studio to see Vilu and the others. It came out that her, Francesca and Leon are teachers now which was surprising, but it made me happy to hear and see.

- Angie! - Vilu screamed happily as she hugged me - I'm so glad you're home with us now!

- Me too, Vilu - I smiled and hugged her back.

- We all missed you so much! - Fran added.

I was about to say something, but someone else was faster behind me.

- Well, seems like it was a good idea to come to Buenos Aires, wasn't it?

It was Edmond standing behind me and kissed my head gently.

- Yeah, it was - I smiled as I turned around to face him - And I'm greatful to you for this too... For making me come back...

- I knew this is the right thing to do - he smiled - And seeing you happy makes me forget everything bad in my own life and focus on happy things... and focus on you, dear... - he said as he wrapped his arms around me.

- You always know how to make me blush, don't you? - I giggled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my forehead against his.

- Your happiness is my happiness... - he whispered and was about to kiss me, but then suddenly Gregorio appeared which made all of us jump.

- What are you two doing?! - he snapped - Rules, Angeles! Rules!

- "No kissing near the Studio" I know - I laughed because I knew he wasn't mad at all and I was right. He began to laugh too.

----- TIME SKIP -----

I've been in the Studio... For the hell knows how long and after all the classes ended I decided to go home and see if Edmond, or Haydeé need anything.

When I arrived to the house I saw Bertuccio, Edmond's servant outside...

-Is anyone at home now? - I asked him.

- The count is at home with a guest at the library and Lady Haydeé is at her room - he replied.

- Alright, thank you - I nodded and headed inside the house.

First I went to check on Edmond at the library and I was quite surprised when I saw hi, talking with German there...

- Ah, you're home! - said Edmond happily when he noticed me.

- Yeah... - I muttered - How long have you two been here already?

- For some time now - Edmond replied - But we talked so well till now that we didn't even notice the time...

- That's true actually - German added.

- I see... Uhm, do you need anything now?

Suddenly German jumped up.

- I need you to listen to me! - he said which shocked me.

- I don't think we have anything to say to each other... - I replied, trying to keep my calm.

I was about to leave, but he grabbed my arm.

- Get off me! - I hissed.

- No, until you listen to me!

- I don't care about your explanations! I don't care about your fake promises, I don't care about anything you have to say!

- Calm down, both of you - said Edmond as he stood up - Mr. Castillo... Let her go now...

He looked at him for a moment then he looked back at me and after a while he sighed and let go of me.

- Angie... - he sighed.

- No... Save it... - I groaned then turned to Edmond - I'll be with Haydeé now if you need me... - I said to him then walked away. I could still feel German's eyes on me, but I know I shouldn't turn around because if I do and I look into his big, brown eyes all my feelings I wanted to forget would come back... And I don't want to get hurt anymore.
