I am so nervous I feel like I will jump out of my skin at any moment. We are in the car, Tojo is in the back with the dog grill up to keep him safe and we are almost at the station. As it comes into sight my palms begin to sweat and my body starts to tremble with nerves.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry.”

Grant reaches over and takes my hand in his rubbing his thumb on the back in a comforting motion which helps relax me a little.

With his touch my mind drifts back to this morning in his room and what we did making my cheeks heat. I also think about the conversation I had with Tom.

**

That was incredible. I have never experienced anything remotely like it ever in my life. And to think that I would go that far yet still be comfortable with the other person. This feeling is completely alien to me, I don’t know what is going on with my body, but it craves Grant and won’t calm down. Whatever that was that we did, it has started a deep burning need within me that I have no idea how

  • Beauty and Her Beast   Chapter 24: Angela pov

    Taking a deep breath, I steel my nerves and prepare to open up about my past with my family. “Yes, I am ready. What do you wish to know?” “Firstly, do you know the man who broke in?” “Yes, he is my stepfather.” “Your stepfather?” Both are shocked and I can understand why. If the officers wrote anything close to what they witnessed, then these two detectives must be wondering how it’s possible for Terry to treat me that way. “Yes. He and I have never had a good relationship.” “Would you please elaborate on that?” I sigh, I wonder just how much I should reveal, Grant squeezes my hand to encourage me so I take a breath and look the officers in the eye. “If you are going to understand everything, you may want to get us some coffee. This may take a while.” They look surprised but with one shared look officer Carmine stands and leaves the room. We sit in silence until she returns with a tray carrying four cups, a coffee carafe, a jug of water and other condiments such as sugar, mi

    I feel guilty for not thinking about him sooner. But I put it down to being distracted by hearing Angel’s story. I never considered that her past was so painful. But I promise to ensure that her future is bright. As I exit the station, I see him laying down on the ground and I hurry over. “Hey boy, are you okay?” He lifts his head and greets me panting heavily trying his best to cool down. I untie his lead from the pole and tug. “Come inside boy, we have water for you.” He stands and follows me gladly with his tongue lolling out as he pants. “He is a big boy.” I look up surprised to see that officer Carmine followed me out. Seeing my confusion, he smiles. “If you were to come inside alone with him you wouldn’t make it past the doors.” “Oh, I see.” We walk in and head straight to the room where we left Angel. As soon as the door opens and Lobo sees her, he eagerly pulls against my grip wanting to run to her, so I let him. “Woof! Woof!” He bounds in and places his paws in he

    “Lobo! Come here.” I shout and then whistle. He growls at the other dog and crouches lower, never taking his eyes off of it, while ignoring me. I continue to hurry over to them and as I get closer the other dog becomes increasingly aggressive. Looking around I cannot seem to pick out its owner and I worry that it is a stray. Lobo growls and the other dog also growls before lunging toward him, but he dodges and snaps his jaws at its paw. Then all hell breaks loose as both dogs begin to fight. People closest to us grab their dogs and scatter screaming. Everyone else, wanting, to get as far away from the fight but no one was willing to help me to stop them. I fear for Lobo as I don’t want him to get injured or catch a disease from this other dog, but I also don’t want to get bitten while trying to separate them. Desperately I look around for something to help me get between them safely when I spot a large thick stick on the ground. Picking it up I test it once then run toward the two

    I’m in shock. I barely feel the pain from after her hand impacted my face anymore. Grant is quiet next to me as we drive back but I can feel he is livid on my behalf and yet he is confused because I claimed not to know her. The truth is, I did know her but now I don’t know what to think and the more I think about what happened the more confused I become. I don’t remember falling asleep but when I awake, I find myself on the bed in Grant’s bedroom. I stand and walk into the bathroom, looking in the mirror to inspect the damage. Horror fills me as I see a perfect handprint still visible on my cheek from where she struck me so hard. I gingerly press my fingers to the area and wince at the sting before I hear a whimper behind me. Looking around I spot Lobo watching close by and smile at him. “Hey boy. Come here.” He walks forward into my embrace, and I cuddle into his fur. “Thank you. You came to defend me from the mean lady, and I love you for that. Of course, Grant came too didn’

    “Well, Miranda, is my mother’s name and also the name that woman uses so I’m a little unsure there, but something tells me that Miranda, really is my mother. My dad is Henry but I’m not sure what my real surname is as Grey is what 'fake' mother told me my name was, but she changed hers to match Terry.” “Were you at their wedding?” I frown thinking about it and then shake my head. “No, I asked once, and she told me that she met and married him while I was in a coma after the accident. She never told me how long I was in the coma though.” “The more I hear the less I like the amount of pain you have had to suffer through, Angel.” I squeeze his hand reassuringly and he smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes, so I sigh and stand. “Okay enough of the heavy topics. Let's have something to eat.” He nods and then it seems he remembers something. “How do you feel about asking your colleagues to join us for a meal out soon? I would also invite Ellis, and maybe, Jack, is it? Maybe he can b

    Listening to her talk to her friends and seeing her face brighten I felt the urge to treat her and through her, her friend too. I want her to feel good and I hope that getting to buy a nice outfit for the meal will be a step towards that. After dinner Angel follows me to the office where I take down both Anya and Jacks’s contact details along with Anya’s home address that she sent to Angela immediately after the call finished. “I need to work for a little longer, I am sorry Angel.” “Oh, don’t worry, I don’t want to get in the way. Would it be alright for me to watch some tv?” “Of course. Do whatever you want, I will join you as soon as I can.” She pecks me on the cheek and then leaves me to work. I begin by calling Ellis and he picks up on the second ring. “You really need to get a woman Ellis.” “What?” “Do you ever stop working?” “No, because you are always working and even when

    His words released something within me that was keeping me from opening up to him. Through the course of a few days, he has seen all of my worst sides and learned about every dark secret I hold within and still he is here. I can see in his eyes how much he cares for me already and seeing that, makes me want to give him the trust, that will allow me to be with him properly. I don’t know how relationships work normally, how long is considered a long enough time before a person gives themselves fully to another, but at this moment, I feel ready to do just that. I feel him harden below me as I press myself closer and the sensation of his hands brushing the skin on my waist is driving me crazy. I pour everything into my kiss, wanting him to know just how much I need him, nothing else, just him. As the kiss becomes more passionate his grip intensifies to an almost painful level, but I love it, the rawness of it is exactly what I need. I don’t want morals or sensible thought to get in t

    I lay beneath him panting still trying to regain my senses after such an intense experience. Grant is breathing hard too and we are both a sweaty mess. He lets go of my legs and they flop down heavily on either side of him as he leans down to caress my cheek. “Hey, are you okay?” “Mmmm, yeah.” I mumble out to him as my energy begins to drain from me. He chuckles and kisses me gently on the lips before leaning back again. “This may hurt a little.” I open my eyes and wince as I see and feel him pull himself from me. “Will that happen every time?” He gazes down at me. “What, baby?” “The pain.” He makes a face crossed between regret and pain but then smiles at me again. “No Angel, it’s only the first time, it gets better the more you practice.” With that said he winks and stands to walk into the bathroom. I lay limply listening to the sound of running water as my eyes droop, but before I know it, he is back and carrying a washcloth. “Here, let me clean you up a little before I

    When I walk into the building, I can see they are already busy, and both Angel and Anya are working hard to serve the patrons.Angel spots me and I smile and nod to her before heading to a table in the corner so I can keep out of the way for a few hours.I place my laptop on the table and my phone to the side then settle in to do some work. I didn’t lie when I said I would be working today despite not being in the office.I look up when a latte is placed in front of me and smile at my Angel.“Hey, I didn’t expect to see you here so soon. Did you get everything arranged?” she asks, and I smile and take her hand in mine.“Yes, everything is all set for three o’clock today. Will you be able to leave here at two thirty?”“Really? How did you manage that?” I smile at her disbelief and continue holding her hand.“Because when I want something my dear Angel, I get it.”She scoffs and taps me on the shoulder making me chuckle.“Alright don’t get too arrogant. I will check with Tom but if we c

    She thinks she is the lucky one who found me but what I said is completely true, I am the lucky one. Rita, and her infidelity sent me into a very dark place emotionally and if not for Angel and her beautiful spirit I would not have been able to bring myself out of it. I pull her body against mine and hold her close, my face buried in her neck as I bask in our connection for a few more moments. But all too soon our moment is broken as her stomach lets out a loud growl making us both chuckle.I am aware that she needs to get ready for work or she will be late, and I won’t let her leave unless she has eaten.“Alright mumma-to-be, let’s get you cleaned up and presentable so that we can get you both fed and then I will take you to work.”“Hahaha, Mumma-to-be? Seriously?”“Absolutely, and I must say, you are one sexy mumma and I cannot wait to meet our little one.”I smile and kiss her before climbing out of bed and lifting her into my arms to carry her into the shower.

    Monday morning arrives before I know it and I wake up without feeling the need to run to the bathroom for the first time in a while. Stretching I turn and find that Grant is still in bed beside me which makes me frown because normally he is out before me in the mornings. Turning back to the side table I check the time and its showing 6am, I have to open the café today and with the extra distance I now have to travel it means that I will need to leave by 7 to make it on time.I throw the covers off and get up so I can take a shower before starting the day. I select some clothes from the closet first and then head to the ensuite.After my shower, I step out into the bedroom in my towel and when I look up, I can see that Grant is now awake and watching me.“Good morning, how come you aren’t already at the office?”“Did you forget? We planned to visit the Doctor this morning.” “I didn’t forget but I can’t go first thing, I have to open the café today and if I ask Tom for

    I truly have some amazing people in my life. Everyone here is willing to chip in to help lessen the burden of trying to organise my father’s company and find the rats who are stealing from me. After breakfast Grant and I take Lobo outside and we spend an hour watching him enjoy the space while we play fetch with him.“Have you ever thought about having any more pets?” I ask Grant and he smiles.“Lobo is special, he was given to me by a good friend and as such he has had special training. But, until now my situation hasn’t really been ideal for having any other pets and therefore, I felt it wasn’t fair.”“I can see where you are coming from, and I agree with you. Would you consider it though? Once everything is settled down and sorted, I mean.”He smiles, “Angel, if you want to fill this big house with animals and anything else then I will happily support your every desire. But I agree that it should wait until everything is settled with the company and with your family. I don’t want t

    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

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.
