Beauty and Her Beast Chapter 36: Angela pov
“So, Baby girl, I can’t take it anymore. Who’ll you please explain what happened the other day and why you had to leave home?” I look to Jack and then Anya, I see their worry and I let out a sigh. I have held back for long enough; they have been good to me and deserve to know the truth. “It’s a long, complicated and frankly unpleasant story to tell but you are my best and only friends, so I want to tell you about it.” They stare at me silently, for once not daring to interrupt. So, I tell them everything. The car accident, growing up with Terry, the attack at my flat and finally the conversation in the park. When I finish all of them are stunned and silent, so I take a moment to eat some more of my sandwich while I wait for them to process what I just told them. “Angel, are you serious?” I nod but otherwise don’t answer as I’m eating. “I don’t even know where to begin with all this.” I glance up and Jack is trembling with pent up anger and Anya looks on the brink of tears. “Yo

God, I missed her today. I never thought it would be possible for me to feel this way about a woman but something about her has captured me and I am more than willing to succumb to it. She looked so enchanting standing on the back porch when I got home. Just the simple act of her watching Lobo was endearing, and I felt happy to be home for the first time in a very long time. Now I couldn’t be more excited to spend the evening with her and our friends but as I move about my closet looking for something to wear, I notice something odd. There isn’t much here that she has added today, and Jeff didn’t report to me that there was anything that she wanted but put back so I’m curious about what she actually managed to buy. I did see the bags on the bed and a couple were large garment bags, but it was still a small amount of purchases compared to what my ex would’ve bought when given the chance. “Angel? Did you manage to find an outfit for Saturday in the end?” “Yeah.” She calls back but

Angel separates from me and stands to greet them. “Hi Jack, hi Annie. Simon, it’s been too long!” “Hey baby girl, we saw you just this morning.” “Yeah, I’ve reached my quota of Jack and Anya time today, but I still need some Simon time.” They chuckle and Simon looks torn between wanting to hug her and not being sure how she will react. She surprises everyone by hugging them both and a huge smile appears on Simons face. “Likewise, Angel face! I’ve missed you recently.” “Same. Come have a seat I will introduce you.” They stand before us and I stand to shake hands with them, Ellis does the same, but I notice his gaze keeps trailing back to Anya. Jack has bleached blonde hair with a blue streak through it. The top is long and flops into his eyes, dark thick eyebrows frame his hazel eyes that sparkle with mischief, and he is wearing a smart white shirt with black jeans. Simon has dark hair that is styled well. His chocolate brown eyes are kind, and he is wearing a blue shirt with b

I dance with my friends and for once I switch off my mind and simply enjoy the moment. The music is loud, the strobe lights cast rainbows around us, and the crush of bodies around me should set off my anxiety but Anya, Jack, and Simon are all ensuring no one is able to get too close. I nudge Jack to dance with Simon and the two of them begin dancing as if no one is watching making both Anya and I laugh. I continue moving my body to the beat but then I feel hands on my hips. As I turn to check who it is my blood runs cold as I come face to face with a strange male I have never met before. He isn’t ugly. He is about six feet tall, and his hair is dark in the club lights, so I assume his natural colour is either black or brown. His eyes are dark, and he has a broad nose and a prominent chin. He has a somewhat large frame that makes him look bulky and threatening. I smack his hand away and he smirks thinking I am merely playing hard to get. “Come on hunni, let’s dance, I know you want

Once done I clean up and head back to the main room. Grant is still up and looking at me with an eyebrow raised, I feel my cheeks flame as I make eye contact. “I woke up and didn’t want to disturb you so tried to reach the bathroom in the dark, but I stood on Lobo and well in the chaos ended up falling on my face.” He shakes his head, but he is smiling and as his shoulders begin shaking from his suppressed laughter, I also begin to see the funny side and laughter bubbles up inside me too. “I must say that after I put us to bed last night this wasn’t the scene I expected to wake up to. Hahahaha” Our laughter increases until I find myself doubled over with tears in my eyes. “S-stop, Stop I, I can’t, breathe, Hahahaha” “Hahahaha oh, Angel.” After about ten minutes we both finally calm down and I am able to continue my walk back to bed. As I climb in beside him, I glance at the clock and see that it is four in the morning. I sigh internally as I doubt, I will be able to fall back to

I have never felt so scared to wake up alone before. But when my alarm sounded, and I rolled over only to feel that the mattress was empty and cold my entire system was flooded with panic. I shot up out of the bed and frantically searched the bathroom and closet, but she wasn’t there. Rushing out of my room I called her name but there was also no answer. So, I rushed down the stairs and that’s when I caught the smell of food coming from the kitchen. The first feeling that hit me upon seeing her standing at the stove with a spatula in her hand and a pan on the hob was relief that she was still in my home. The next feeling that hit me was desire as I took notice that she was still only dressed in the t-shirt I changed her into when we got home from the club. I admit I was shocked when she fell asleep in my arms. It was only one in the morning and her insomnia has kept her up much later in the past. I made the decision to bring her back despite knowing that the others were going to

I look down and that’s when I see it, there is an image of a wing in the foam of my latte. I thought I was imagining it at first but now I know I wasn’t. she managed to replicate her signature latte that she makes at the café using the machine in my kitchen. “How do you manage to make this taste so unique?” “I really don’t know what you mean Grant.” Instead of answering her I stand and head to the coffee machine to make a latte. Once the machine is done, I take it to the table and take a sip. I can taste the difference, but I cannot decipher what it is. “Taste this and then taste yours and tell me what you think.” I push them both over to her and watch her face to see how she reacts. First, she sips mine and then she sips her one she made me. “What do you notice?” “Well, before I answer I have a question for you. Do you like both?” I nod, ordinarily I would make a latte the same way I just did and drink it without a second thought. “Which one do you like better?” “I admit I

I watch him leave and once he is past the gate, Jeff turns to me. “How may I be of service miss Angel?” “I have some errands to run today.” “When would you like to leave?” “I suppose sooner is better than later. I just need to grab my things.” “Very good Miss Angel, I shall fetch the car and wait here for you.” “Thank you, Jeff, I will be right back.” I head back inside and upstairs to fetch my phone, keys, and hoodie. Returning to the kitchen I place the breakfast dishes in the dishwasher and turn it on before leaving to meet with Jeff. “Where to first miss Angel?” He asks as I settle in the backseat after locking the door. “To my flat please, Jeff.” I give him the address and soon enough we are pulling up outside the building, but I find I am frozen in my seat as I stare at it. “Miss? Miss Angel, are you alright?” I can hear Jeff

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

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
