Beauty and Her Beast Chapter 13: Angela pov
I chuckle and carefully raise myself into a sitting position, before standing and showing him where the bathroom is. Waking up in his arms was a surprise, but only because I felt comfortable there. That is what shocked me the most, never have I felt comfortable to be touched or held by any man, but somehow with Grant it is different. I busy myself with making coffee and grab ingredients to make pancakes for breakfast. Grant comes back as I am pouring the first batch of batter into the pan to cook. “Pancakes? You are spoiling me Angel.” “Haha, I did say I went shopping yesterday, so I thought I would treat us.” “Mmmm smells delicious.” He walks up behind me and reaches around to hold my waist. I freeze for a moment in surprise but almost immediately relax into his hold and I hear him sigh contently. Clearly, he is happy that I am accepting his touch which again makes me wonder how he noticed in the first place. “Angel can I ask a personal question?” “Mmmhmm.” “Do you have a pho

As though he senses my presence, he glances up from his phone but then his gaze locks onto me and he freezes in place. Breathe, just breathe, give him a moment to process, don’t panic. I repeat my mantra in my head as I stand in place watching his reactions to seeing me out of my baggy clothing. “Angel?” “Yes Grant?” “Are you trying to torture me?” “Um, no?” “Mmmmmm, come here baby.” His groan makes my blood warm, and I slowly walk closer to him as he watches me, similar to how a predator will watch its prey. My palms become sweaty and finally I am standing close enough to him that he can reach out to me. “You were hiding this the entire time?” He gestures to my figure with his hands as his eyes soak in every detail making me feel naked despite wearing two layers of clothes. A nod is all I can manage to acknowledge his question and he smiles. “Incredible, and to think this is potentially all mine.” “Potentially?” “I am not presuming anything right now Angel. I don’t want

I can hear fear creeping into her voice as she whispers down the line. I worry about her. It triggers my need to know what has happened to her in her past to make her so afraid to have contact with anyone. “Okay, well first thing is first, do not, under any circumstances hang up this call, understood.” “Uh huh, what if I should need to make a call?” “Tell me and I will have Ellis make it for you.” “Okay, what is two?” “Use the peephole to see who it is. Do not open the door unless you are sure that the person has no ill intent.” “Okay I am going over, don’t talk.” I hold my breath as I listen to her taking soft steps towards the door. “Angela!” A muffled shout comes across the line which I assume came from whoever is the other side of her door. Clearly, it’s a male and he knows her personally, from the use of her full name, but I hear her take a sharp intake of breathe. “Oh no!”

He leaves me alone to settle in and I take a moment to look around the room. It is cozy but reeks of wealth, he has a large queen size four poster bed, with grey, Egyptian cotton linen bedding. His walls are also grey, but in contrasting shades, making it both light and warm. It’s an odd effect but it works, especially when paired with the warm mahogany colour of the furniture. The bed and dressing table, as well as an ottoman at the foot of the bed, are a matching set. I don’t see a wardrobe, but there are three doors in the room. One is the door we entered through, so I wonder if the other two could lead to an ensuite and a walk-in closet. I am just about to stand up to go and look, when a huge black thing comes bounding into the room, scaring me to death and jumps onto the bed. “Aaahhh!!!” I am bowled over onto my back, as I let out a scream and the creature lands on top of me. “Hahahaha!” I look over to the door as I hear laughter and see Grant holding the drink, he said he

I watch as she removes her makeup and I wonder why this is important. I am distracted by her motions as she gradually reveals her natural beauty, and I am enraptured by her. Then she turns around and tucks her fringe to the side revealing her entire face to me. She is absolutely beautiful, her pale skin is blemish free, despite her heavy use of foundation, and she has signs of sleep deprivation around her eyes. At first that is all I can see which is concerning to me, but then the light catches something and I realise the truth. I am shocked by what I see, she has multiple small nicks in her skin, that start with a small crescent below her eye and continue down the side of her face. But then I see the large one that extends down her throat, and I feel angry when I think about how this could have happened. “Terry did it.” Those words trigger and intense rage to build within me, directed at the man who had the audacity, to claim her as his daughter. I barely notice when she takes my

I gape at her in shock, does she really think that I would abandon her just because of this? But as I gaze upon her and the way she holds herself, I realise, that that is exactly what she thinks. I reach for her wrist and tug her to me, making her gasp in surprise, as I catch her. I move both of my hands to her face, as I pull her to me and kiss her before she can regain her bearings. I moan as I taste her, I’ve missed this, since Saturday, all I had been able to think about till that phone call, was her lips and when I would be able to kiss them again. She leans into me and kisses me back, so I move her arms around my neck and my own hands stroke down along her sides, until I reach her waist. I reach down and grip her ass making her gasp, which allows my tongue access to her mouth, as I lift her and make her straddle my lap the same way she did earlier. We pull back from the kiss a few minutes later, we are breathless, but it was worth it to see the blush that has appeared on her

The moment his fingers connect to my skin I feel tingles erupt from the connection and they spread wherever he moves, tracing the lines from my tattoo. Then his touch locates my scar to the right of my spine, and he takes in a sharp breath. “So close.” “Mmmhmm the doctors told my mum that I was extremely lucky as any further to the left then it would likely have severed my spinal cord and I would either be dead or permanently paralyzed in some way.” “Well, I am really grateful that it wasn’t further over.” His voice is thick with pent up emotion and it makes me shiver, in a good way. He placed his palm across my back, his fingers curling around my side a little as he holds me there. But I am shocked when I feel something else, his lips. He kisses my scar and I shudder as my temperature increases from the connection. “You are truly a wonder Angel. And your tattoos are beautiful, thank you for showing me.” “Ye...yeah of... of course. I release a shuddering breath as I feel him pu

I shudder as I think about the things he is hinting, and a sense of anticipation and apprehension begins to build within me. Normally I would pull away to create some distance, but I surprise myself by relaxing more into his hold. We continue talking learning more about each other as the evening draws on, at some point Lobo came to join us and is settled on the floor against Grant’s feet. I learn that his wife was his first long term relationship and that in his late teens and early twenties he was like any other male. Dating and sleeping with different girls until his family forced him to settle down and marry once he took over the family business. He has been successful in maintaining the company his father built but five years ago he decided to start his own company that is now generating more income than the other ever has. I am impressed with his success at such a young age, I wanted to go to college to study business after I left school, but I haven’t been able to, since I

When I open the door, I see Angela crouched by the toilet, so I rush in to check her.“Angel?! What’s wrong baby?”“Ugh, bad morning sickness. Sorry if I worried you but this is a more comfortable position for me at the moment.”“It’s okay, I just wish there was more I could do to help.”“Mmmhmm. Hopefully the doctor can give me something to help when we see her.”“I hate seeing you like this.”I lament as I watch her lean back over the pan to be sick once more. I hold her long hair back for her while she heaves and expels everything still present in her stomach. Her complexion is very light, she seems quite pale, and she is also sweating from the exertion.The last two retches only produce small amounts of saliva that she spits out, so once it seems that she doesn’t have anything more to bring up I hurry to the sink and get her a glass of water.She takes some light sips from it and settles back on her haunches.“Thank you, I think I’m past the worst of it now.”“How often have you be

Angela is pregnant!Ellis was right, but if I tell him that, his head will get bigger, and he will become unbearable so I will not be telling him anytime soon. What I am most shocked about is the fact that she told me so soon after finding out herself.All I can assume is that she must have enough trust in me and in us that she felt that she could be open and honest with me about this, and I love her all the more because of it.For so long I was stuck in a relationship with someone who didn’t care for me as a person and was only interested in material gain, who lied to me on many occasions to keep themselves out of trouble.Now that I have Angela, and I am experiencing such a caring and positive bond, I know I made the right decision to leave Rita, but also, I was right to follow my emotions with Angela.She truly is an Angel.As we leave the restaurant and climb into the car, I am still on cloud nine thinking about all the possibilities that could become reality once we meet with a do

“But with you Angel, everything is different. With you I want to see you carrying my children, and yes, I want more than one. I want to build a family with you and even marry you, when you are ready for that.” I am shocked by his candour and by his words. I never expected him to say all of that. My emotions swell and before I can stop them tears begin to fall from my eyes. “Angel? What’s wrong?” He panics and reaches across to hand me his handkerchief; I chuckle as I take it from him and try to dry my eyes. “Nothing is wrong. What you said was so beautiful that I couldn’t help myself. Sorry, my emotions are all over the place at the moment.” “Is there any particular reason why that would be? Are you sure you are alright.” “Yes, Grant, I am, I promise. But there is something that I should probably tell you, I just don’t want you to be too shocked.” “What is it?”

As we step into the foyer of the restaurant I am amazed by the interior décor. It is stunning, the walls are lined with mirrors and the Matre de stands behind a mahogany pedestal near a pair of wooden doors with glass panels that lead into the main dining room. “Good evening, Sir, Madam. My name is Paul may I take your reservation name?” “Cerulean.” “Please follow me.” He is almost falling over his own feet to lead us to our table, I find it a little comical. “Whatever did you say to them when you made this reservation?” “I don’t know what you mean. Besides, I asked Ellis to help me make the calls.” “Overworking your best friend again?” “No, not at all. He was happy to help me make this the perfect night for you.” I squeeze his arm affectionately to let him know that I appreciate the effort he is making. Crystal chandeliers give it a rich ambient feel, the tables are mahogany with white tablecloths on them. Every table has a pair of red roses in a vase as a centre piece whic

I hang up and glance out of my office window at the city below. Could it really be possible that I’m about to become a father?I think about my own father and the strained relationship I have with him and my brother now. I won’t let that happen to my family. No matter what happens I always want my children to know that they can come to me for anything and that I will be there to help and support them.Two hours later I message Simon to check in on things back at the house.G- “Are the girls home yet?”S- “Not yet but they are due shortly. I had a message from Anya recently saying they are en route.”G- “Good. I will get ready here at the office then head over to collect Angel in time for when she should be ready. Don’t let her be late, we have a schedule to keep.”S- “Don’t worry I’ve got everything organised.”G- “Thanks.”I put my phone away and try to focus on work, but I just can’t do it so instead I check the itinerary for the evening to make sure everything will go smoothly.“Yo

I’m sitting in a board meeting not really listening to what these men are saying because all I can think about is Angel and wanting to know if she is enjoying herself at the spa. She looked so tired this morning and I’m worried about how obsessed she has been with figuring out what is going on with the board of directors at her father’s company. That’s a point, I should audit my directors to make sure they aren’t trying to swindle me. Suddenly the door bursts open and everyone turns as Ellis rushes in. “Boss! I need you urgently.” “Ellis, I am in a meeting.” “Yes, I understand but this cannot wait, otherwise it might require divine intervention.” The way he stresses the word divine and stares intently at me has the hairs on my neck raising. “Excuse me gentlemen it seems I have to handle this immediately. Compile the rest of the reports and send to me to review by email. That will be all.” I leave the room at a brisk pace and head to my office. As soon as the door is closed, I

“Please madam, we have already apologised and explained that the spa was closed for the day exclusively by a very important client. We will be more than pleased to accommodate you here tomorrow, but we are unable to see you today.” “Impossible! I have an exclusive pass to enter here, and no one has the right to deny my access upon my request. How can she have more influence than me.” She then storms over in my direction and continues her barrage. “Tell me, how did you do it? You must have done something very shrewd and unspeakable to hook him like you have. Otherwise, why would he even look twice at someone as lowly as you? You are not fit to even lick the shoes of members of our society and yet you stand there as though you are better than me. Disgusting tramp!” In the distance, I hear the phone on the desk ringing until it is picked up, but my focus remains on Rita. Her words are hurtful and deliberate, but I don’t care for them. She was the one who had the affair and decided th

“Angel! How was it? I feel soooo goood right now.” Anya gushes when I see her in the corridor. “I know what you mean. I feel amazing.” She grins and hooks her arm through mine as we follow Heather and eventually walk into a parlor for skin treatments. “Alright ladies I will leave you now, my colleagues here will have you glowing in no time.” Anya beams excitedly next to me and we head to the facial treatment section. My left hand subconsciously lifts, and my finger strokes my cheek feeling the sunken area where the glass ripped through my face all those years ago. “Angel, are you alright?” “Mmhmm.” I respond absentmindedly. “Hey, don’t worry about your scars, who knows they might have some suggestions for helping it to fade a little if that would help you.” “Do you think so?” “If the experts don’t know then I don’t know who else would. Come on let’s get facial and full mani-pedi treatments. If anyone deserves it, you do.” I chuckle and follow along to a seat and sit down.

Knock, knock, knock. “Angel? Are you okay in there?” I hear Anya calling to me through the bathroom door. I don’t know how long I have been sitting on the toilet seat staring at the plastic stick in my hands. The handle moves and because I didn’t lock it the door opens, and Anya’s concerned face appears. “Angel?” I just stare at her not able to form any coherent thoughts. She frowns but when she glances down at my hands she gasps and steps closer to get a proper look. “Is it? Are you?” She looks into my eyes excited and hopeful but all I can do is nod slowly. “Ahhhhhh! Oh my god! I knew it!” She screams in excitement and begins jumping around my bathroom like a crazy person. “What am I going to do?” I whisper and she finally stops bouncing to look at me in concern. “Are you not happy Angel?” “Well, sure I guess, a baby would be nice, but I don’t know if I’m ready or if Grant even wants kids. It’s not like it’s a subject that has come up between us or anything.” “Oh, I see w
