She ends the call and Ellis stands frozen for a few moments. “She didn’t even thank me.” “Don’t read too much into it. Just do what you said you would and I am sure she will thank you later.” “Yeah, alright." "I’m going back to continue hounding restaurants for you.” “Okay. Let me know which one you manage to book.” He waves and walks out leaving me alone to wait. I try to focus on my emails while I wait but it is almost impossible, and I find myself watching the clock and my phone waiting for the message. Suddenly my phone screen lights up and I am quick to grab it. A - “Oh my god Grant! That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I hope Ellis is taking notes.” I chuckle and hearing me Ellis pokes his head into my office. “What’s up?” “Your girlfriend has high standards.” “What?” I show him her message and his face falls. “Damnit! Why do you have to do this to me? I thought we were friends.” I laugh and another message comes through, this time it is the video I as

I am still in shock from his proposal. Who knew he could be so romantic? I wipe down the last table and glance at the clock. It’s 4.30 pm I have time to try to figure out how I’m going to repay him. I never held it against him that we didn’t celebrate valentines. In truth, I completely forgot about it, and I have never celebrated it, so I didn’t miss it anyway. But he seems so impassioned by this and resolute in his actions that I do not have the heart to deny him. My biggest concern now is answering him with the same passion that he has shown me. “I cannot believe you refused to answer him.” "And I cannot believe that you were complicit in it all. Where is your loyalty A.” “Oh, don’t give me that, Angel, we both know that what he did today was amazing. I only found out when the deed was done, and I got a text from him asking me to video your response. Now that poor man has no doubt spent hours unsure about his actions because you refused to answer him.” I feel guilty thinking th

His adams apple bobs as he swallows and his hands land on my hips gripping me a little firmly showing me how much he is controlling his desire at this moment. “I had dinner prepared. Are you hungry?” I say as I unbutton the top three buttons on his shirt. “Hmm yes but not for food.” I look up and he smiles before tipping his head down to the crook of my neck breathing in the scent of my skin and my body wash. “You smell devine, Angel.” He kisses my neck and I shudder with pleasure biting my lips to hold in a moan. Gripping his shirt to keep my composure I then move my palms across to his shoulders to slip his suit jacket off, it slides down his arms and puddles on the floor at his feet. I then move to his waistcoat and unbutton it before repeating my movements to slide it off like with the jacket. All the time he is kissing my neck with small pecks and the occasional nibble of his teeth on my skin. Stroking my palms along his arms I reach for his wrists to undo his cuff links

When I wake up the bed beside me is empty and cold. Sunlight is peaking through a gap in my curtains, so I turn to check the time and gasp when I notice I’ve slept in for most of the morning. Sitting up my hand touches something and when I look down, I see a note. Angel, I didn’t want to leave you without saying goodbye, but you were sleeping so peacefully that I decided to let you rest. Have a good day and I will see you when I finish work later. Love Grant X I smile reading his note and put it on the bedside table before getting out of bed and heading to my shower. Time to start the day. Last night was amazing and my body still feels the effects of it all. However, as I enter the bathroom, my stomach flips and I dash to the toilet, emptying the contents from last night into the pan. I don’t understand why I keep doing this, I don’t feel unwell at all, but yet this keeps happening. “Angel?! Oh my gosh, are you alright?” “Mmmm,” I grunt through my discomfort as I feel a hand

Since I finished my lunch during the call, I get straight back to my task of digging through the mountain of paperwork and before I know it, I’ve lost all sense of what is around me besides the papers I’m reading. “Angel? Angel.” I register my name being said but remain focused on my work until I feel hands touch my back it startles me, out of my skin and I jump up to my feet in defense mode. “Aaaaaah! Oh my, Grant!” I clutch my heart and try to control my breathing. “Sorry love. I tried to get your attention, but you were in a world of your own.” “It’s alright. Sorry, I was lost in a world of figures. Is it evening already?” “About 4.30. I finished early. What is all this?” He asks. I explain my system and the basics of what I have found so far. A frown appears on his forehead when I mention some of the discrepancies I’ve found already. “Hmm, I think you are on the right track. It certainly seems fishy from what you’ve told me so far.” “I agree," I say, "I was going to reac

I’m startled when the door of the office suddenly opens a few hours later and Grant is sleepily standing in the doorway. “You scared me. Are you alright?” I ask him, my hand on my heart as I try to stop it racing. “I woke up and you weren’t beside me, so I got worried and came looking for you.” “I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep, and I didn’t want to disturb you, so I came here.” “Hmmm.” He mumbles as he makes his way to my sofa and lays down. “You don’t have to sleep here, go back to bed. I will come back when I feel tired.” “No s’okay, I’m fine here.” He replies sleepily already beginning to fall asleep. I shake my head but leave him to it and continue sorting through the files. Around 3 am I come across a transaction that shocks me and I have to wonder if I am seeing things due to lack of sleep. “This can’t possibly be right.” I mumble to myself as I stare at the paper before placing it safely to one side on the desk and then rifling through the rest of the papers to see if t

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

“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.

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’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
