Germangie meets The Count of Monte Cristo

Chapter 24 - Priscilla's back

German's POV:

I had a wonderful night with Angie, but unfortunately when I woke up next morning and Angie was already gone. I was kinda hoping that she'll stay, but I sure need to talk to her about what happened because I was really happy and I wasn't that drunk either so I remember every second of it and I want to do that again.

But unfortunately I couldn't meet her all day... She seemed to avoid me, or I don't know...

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

Angie and Vilu finally came home together on the afternoon so I got out of my office...

- Angie... Can we talk? - I asked, a bit nervously.

- Uhm... Yeah... - she replied hesitantly.

I was about to lead her to my office someone knocked on the front door....

- Coming! - said Olga and as she opened the door Priscilla came in.

- German!! - she screamed and jumped into my arms.

- Ah, P-Priscilla! - I muttered, slightly shocked - Home this early?

- Yep! Isn't that amazing?

- Yeah... It is...

Angie's POV:

German wanted to talk to me... probably about last night, but then Priscilla came home.

He looked at me, shocked, but I just smiled and went to the kitchen. For some reason I was happy that Priscilla came just in time so I didn't have to talk to him now, but... I was a bit sad as well...

I was just standing there, deep in thoughts for long minutes when Priscilla came...

- Angie... Angie... - she said while snapped her fingers in front of my face - Are you feeling okay?

- I uhm... I'm fine... - I muttered.

- Thinking about your love, huh? - she grinned.

- Yeah, I guess...

Love? But who exactly?

After last night I was a bit confused, but I guess Edmond is the only one I need to trust... As he also said: Never trust in those who hurts you all the time...

- He told me that he'll be home very soon as well - Priscilla said.

- You mean the count?

- Yes! Are you listening?? - she laughed.

- Not really, honestly... - I said awkwardly - I just miss him... You know...

- I know that feeling... I've missed German just as much as you miss the count! But anyway... I wanted to ask you something...

- What is it?

German came to the kitchen as well...

- Would you be my maid of honor at our wedding?

Both me and German gasped in surprise, but Priscilla just smiled at me, waiting for an answer. I could see German is quite upset and just staring at me, but what can I say?

- Yeah... Sure... I'd like to... - I muttered then Priscilla hugged me tightly.

- Thank you!!

German was looking at me, smiling, but his eyes were so sad that looking into them broke my heart, but he the one, engaged for god sake!

- Oh... And our engagement party is on next week - Priscilla added.

- Really? German didn't even tell me that! - I faked a surprised face as I looked at him.

I just played around. I didn't want any of them to see how heart broken I am by this fact because if they see me weak they'll just hurt me.... And who knows what would happen if anyone would get to know my pain... I don't want to cause any problems to anymore... so yeah...

I just miss Edmond now too much...
