Germangie meets The Count of Monte Cristo

Chapter 21 - Mixed feelings

Angie's POV:

The next morning I woke up in my old room in German's house. I felt a bit weird at first, but I was happy to be here again. And I also realized last night that how much he changed in these years...

Suddenly I heard a knock...

-Who is it? - I asked, still in bed.

- It's me, German! Can I come in? - I hear the answer outside the door.

- Yeah, come in! - I replied, but I still didn't get up. I was too lazy to get up and German already saw me in the bed before like this. And like this I mean being lazy.

He came into the room and sat beside me on the bed...

- Good morning, lazy ass - he smirked.

- Good morning to you too... - I said with a sarcastic grin - Did you sleep well?

- I slept like a baby! How about you?

- I'm fine... And I slept well too - I replied.

- That's good! - he said playfully then layed on the bed beside me, looking up at the ceiling.

I was doing the same for some minutes before turning to my side and looking at him. I felt so happy having him with me here...

After a while of me staring at me he turned to face me and looked confused:

- Why are you staring at me like that? - he asked.

- I uhm... I was just thinking... - I muttered, turning away, but he got on top of me all of a sudden and grinned cheekily at me - Oh! What the hell are you doing? - I asked while giggling.

- I want you to answer my question, or....

- Or what?

I could see exactly in his eyes that what is he up to and in this situation I couldn't even get away.

- Ah... Please no, German... You know how ticklish I am... - I begged him.

It was too late... He started tickling me.

- Ah G... Ger... man... s...stop... - I said while laughing - I'll... I'll an.... answer... j.... just s...s...stop... ple... please...

After some minutes he finally stopped and layed back beside me.

- I'm waiting... - he grinned.

- Well... Actually I was just thinking that how good to be back again... - I said and smiled - I didn't even remember how fun spending a night with you and Vilu the way we did yesterday...

- I'm glad you enjoyed it as well - he smiled then gave me a long, soft kiss on my cheek - I... I'll be downstairs if you need me... - he muttered then stood up and left my room.

Well... this was kinda weird...

German's POV:

I felt so close to kiss her... But I just couldn't do it. She's with the count after all and she seems to love him... But she also seems to be having some feelings for me... Or am I just imagining things? I don't know anymore though...

I'm too impatient, but I can't help it... Also I'm better not messing things up, or I might loose here again... But ehat to do?

- Maybe you should call her over when no one else is at home except you... - said Ramallo when I told him about my thoughts.

- Wouldn't she get suspicious?

- I don't think so... But even if she does then make sure that she doesn't feel awkward near you.

- Yeah... I guess...

Angie's POV:

After the breakfast in the Castillo house I went back home as soon as I arrived Ali came up to me:

- The count wants to talk to you as soon as possible - he said - It's important.

- Ah, okay - I nodded and a few minites later I called him.

- Ah, Angie!

Edmond's voice sounded quite happy as he said that.

- Hey! - I replied and smiled.

- Where were you last night? Ali told me that you were at the house with a friend...

- Ah, I spent the night at German's house. Vilu wanted me to stay and so I did.

- I see, I see... Anyway... Tomorrow a guy, named Cavalcanti general will go to my house and he'll tell you that he's looking for his son.

- And if I'm correct his "son" will come too... Right?

- Exactly, my dear. I am sorry though... I wanted to do this myself, but they couldn't come earlier so I need you to help me out in this...

- Okay, I will.

- Thank you, dear.

- Anything else I need to know?

He quickly explained what I need to do and how.

- Okay... - I nodded - And Edmond...

- Yes, Angie?

- When will you come back?

- Soon... - he replied - I don't know when exactly... But I'll tell you, I promise.

- Okay...

- Do you miss me that much? - he asked and I blushed deep red when he added - I can feel that you're blushing right now...

- How did you know??

- I just know you good enough.

And after a few more minutes of talking he had to go and so had I. I decided to go to the Studio, but the whole time I couldn't really focus on anything. I was thinking too much about German... I don't know why...
