Chapter 17 Cleo I have had the most "eventful" day . First of all I applied for a position which I didn't get and ended up being my new boyfriend's best friend's personal assistant. As if that wasn't enough; I got physically and verbally attacked by Angelo's ex girlfriend Sophia... Who happens to be in the same clique as Nikki, Nina, Ruth and Rachel who I suspect is behind me not getting the PR gig. Call it a hunch and I'm not assuming. I overheard Sophia saying Rachel its done. Paul apparently likes me so he made a decision and no one could interfere with . He was the guy who stole my bottle of wine; when Angelo and I went to lunch on Sunday at his parents house, that didn't happen... I'm in love with Angelo however I can't deny that Paul is a sight for sore eyes and he has a big heart he has "Angelo like" personality traits you could swear they were twins or brothers in their past lives. I'm very professional at work so there is no chance of Paul and me ending up like Blue and I
Chapter 18 Angelo On the day I Ant out partying against my mother's wishes; I got involved in an accident that changed my life forever . I didn't know what forgiveness was until my father said he forgave me . On the day I got married to a woman I thought I loved was the day I believed in love , when my son was born was the day I believed in falling in love again and loving with no boundaries . On the day my wife left me for another man was the day I learned how to be a father and a mother to the child I thought was mine... On the day I went out driving in a fit of rage at my ex wife for sleeping with my cousin on the day I did my last job for people I till this day don't know,was the day I saved a woman who is now my girlfriend. However here's the catch... I didn't know that I would end up crossing paths with her again, and in the process fall in love . At the back end of finding out my kid wasn't mine and my cousin was his biological father I was afraid of losing the one thing tha
Chapter 19 Cleo I'm a morning person. I get things done quicker in the morning, more active in the morning and twice as sharp in the morning. When I worked for Massa by twelve in the afternoon I was done with everything, all I needed to do was to plan ahead for the next day and make sure Ruth was fed and she also had a spar appointment scheduled. I don't miss cleaning up after Ruth , what I do miss is the communications department because I practically ran it and the numbers don't lie . It sucks that I didn't get the PR gig, but I really do need the job Paul gave me. I am able to keep things strictly professional and he's like a brother. Angelo worries me sometimes . I'm in love with him however I still feel he would be happier if I was working for him instead of Paul. I love being Blue's girl but he has to allow me to have my independence and trust me. I would never cheat on him . I certainly don't have feelings for Paul, Angelo speaks to every part of me bright dark and in between.
Chapter 20AngeloI've been in love before; but never have I fallen so fast and so hard. Never has it felt so right, and never have I had someone who can hear and speak to my heart the way Cleo does. She gets me , she sometimes understands me and she is not the cheating type. She's the run away from rejection type she can't take it. Even though she acts all tough, she can't hide it from me . Last night was amazing she had me speaking Italian at one point , then English, Spanish ,and some other language I myself don't understand.I need to tell her that I'm half Italian and half south African . I woke up this morning to find her gone. The first person I called was Paul and then when I called her , she was in the house. I ran to where she was , she told me how she felt,I was going to tell her but what she was saying was what I wanted to say . She walked out and looked like she was on a mission when she came back ."Cleo what are you doing?
Chapter 21CleoI love surprises. Unexpected ones bring out the kid in me, and general surprises get my heart racing. Angelo really knows how to keep me guessing . I never know how to react with him and I'm impulsive . Just a couple of minuets ago I was ready to call a taxi and go home; because I had opened up to Angelo and he was quiet. When he told me what I said was what he was also feeling I breathed a sigh of relief. He has a look about him when he is hiding something, he acts all shy too and wears a grin that is funny when he doesn't want to say anything.Making love with him last night was different from what I experienced last weekend. We both trust each other and when he took me raw the other morning at my apartment all fours I was surprised . He kept going and I loved every moment. Last night he did that again and he is very skilled in more ways than one. I wasn't as sore as I felt an hour and a half ago... I'm also a bit if
Chapter 22AngeloI've finally found someone who understands my kind of crazy . It took me long enough but this feels right . I want a love that lasts and she is it. Cleo is good for me in more ways than one. She doesn't see that but I do and I love her so much .Once breakfast was done and we all ate ; Nicolai and Jane went to work while I stayed home with Cleo . She had told me that;she was feeling tired and needed her rest.She barely touched her breakfast and I made sure that I didn't make any bacon for her; even though I like it.She only ate cereal and yoghurt. I've noticed three things about Bella. When she's happy she eats properly, when she's stressed she doesn't touch a thing concerning food, and on normal days depending on her mood she'll eat properly... When she's quiet I worry .That was two and a half months ago. On the week Paul booked her off; we drove to Richards Bay and spent time together at a luxury B&B all on me.
Chapter 23CleoThe past two and a half months have been both a dream and a nightmare. I fell in love with an amazing guy who gets me in so many ways . Angelo has been a dream ;up until recently when he was not behaving let alone acting like we were in a relationship.I understood that he had been busy, and I was too reluctant to tell him what had been going on at because he's being treating me like I did something wrong and not giving me emotional attention is his way of punishing me for something I don't know anything about. He knows that I'm sensitive and I hurt easily. He's being coming home ... Well to his penthouse very late and he leaves early. I can't help but worry because he doesn't even touch me or at least talk to me properly.I left his penthouse on Monday morning before he got up. I had come to a point where I was done. The only way to protect my heart and get over the hurt I felt was to walk away from the person wh
Chapter 24AngeloOne week later.I have to get her back . I screwed up so badly I don't think there is any way to fix the mess I made ...Cleo will not talk to me . Ever since her visit to the hospital last week. She's carrying my child; I had asked doctor James how far along she was , she told me two and a half months . Cleo cried and I didn't know how to react because I don't know how to handle over emotional. Even when Nina was pregnant I avoided coming home early because she would cry and complain about the smallest of things. To be honest she tested my patience. I guess I wasn't really in love.When Cleo cried; I let go of her hand, walked out the room and drove out of the hospital. She didn't deserve what I did. I tried to call her she wouldn't pick up. I went to her apartment but
CleoThere is nothing ordinary about my relationship with Angelo . It is both exciting and scary. Exciting in terms of the many changes I've had to go through the past couple of months , and scary because Angelo is a man of many secrets. I hate secrets I'd rather you tell me the truth instead of keeping it from me . We are all human and we are not infallible. The only thing infallible is my lipstick, but that too comes off my lips when I wipe away the make up... That's if I wear any.Rosa the woman who looked like the woman on Angelo's bracelet, came running towards the car, she tripped and fell, and when I was helping her up the blue brigade came through.She didn't look as happy as I saw her at the resort but she confirmed what I knew all along; she was Blue's mommy. She had beautiful blue eyes and brunette hair like her son. I didn't see it before but now I know how Angelo got his dark features and beautiful heart. She had given me a hug and a kiss on the cheek before she started ta

CleoIt happened so fast; one minute I was having ice cream with Gio outside by the pool ,the next Rachel was charging towards us and shooting. Giovanni is like a son to me and I love him as much as I love Pio and Pia . All I remember was that;I jumped across the table to protect Gio,and Mr Massa shot me by mistake trying to shoot Rachel . I remember the piercing pain I felt on my abdomen and nothing after that. I was taking a trip out of town to think clearly and on my way I stopped to tell Gio and the Massa's I was going to another province for a couple of days to ; clear my head and figure out if I wanted to marry Angelo . I had left him a letter that I wrote saying;"Dear BlueBy the time you read this letter I will be gone. I was sure when I said yes. Now I'm not so sure. I need time to think... Without you influencing my decisions... I love you but your dr
AngeloI messed up. I know I shouldn't have lost it at Cleo last night , but I did and now I am paying for it. As soon as we arived I saw my father in the waiting room ; his blue dress shirt was soiled with blood and my mother was trying to calm him down. Cleo's mother and the twins were not in the country. I flew them out without her knowledge. I was going to tell her last night but I got drunk. There is no doubt that I look like hell. I walked inside and the moment my father looked at me he cried." Son I am so sorry. It was an accident .""Dad... What happened?"
AngeloI love being with Cleo ; however this morning she surprised me with breakfast and for the first time in a while we had a family meal with Gio, Pio, Pia , Nicolai,Carlo, and Caleb.I love the fact that we are neighbours with Carl and Caleb. The boys and I were due for a night out so that meant the ladies would stay at home with the kids . I asked Cleo if I could go and have fun with the gang and she said; yes. .I worry about leaving her on her own but I know she's okay . She told me she would call if she needed anything; besides the gnawing feeling in my gut to cancel my plans with the guys and spend time with Cleo instead ...I acted on impulse and again I know she won't deny me anything so I decided to go.Carlo; Brent ,Nicolai , and I went in my car and Paul said he would meet us at Carlo's restaurant which was booked out for the night . Cleo was going to be alone but she p
CleoI really love surprises ; however this one was so unexpected .Angelo and I were having an argument that Gio walked in on. My heart broke when I saw him standing by the staircase with a face full of tears. I needed to vent because the last time Angelo was behaving the way he was the past couple of days had me worried. I also had to tell Angelo that I was pregnant. When I finally came around to telling him , he wanted to go public about it to our friends and when I disagreed he vilified me and apologized. What Giovanni saw was the middle of an apology. Being the kid he was he dragged me all the way to the garden and pool area where friends and family were . When I turned around, Angelo was on one knee asking me to marry him. He didn't tell me what he was planning and I always found out what he was up to because he is a bad liar. I didn't see this coming.
AngeloCooking has always been therapeutic for me and if I don't cook; I went downstairs to go stock up on food. Ever since Cleo happened, we have everything in order. The kitchen had labels and sections . Making lunch for Gio when he has school was easy.Cleo was knocked out cold because she was busy with the twins last night. I used to struggle on weeks that I had the twins over but now I don't because,I made up with my baby love. We had an early dinner because I wanted to take Cleo somewhere special so after cleaning up we hit the road to the estate where Clara and Brent lived . It was well secured and safe to raise kids there.The Perelli's lived there too
CleoFor the first time in a very long time I can breathe. I woke up next to Angelo and he was asleep. His sleeping patterns have returned to normal and so have mine . We spent the whole of wednesday doing what we loved together and by the time we got back home I hit lights out hard after I took a warm bath to soothe my achy muscles. We went indoor rock climbing at the adventure zone , paint ball shooting and did an obstacle course that required us to work as a team which took most of the day as soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone .On Thursday we caught up on work that needed to be done and went shopping for Friday. All I knew was that; it was date night and Angelo wanted to take me out shopping, when I said no he went all moody and left me alone. When lunch time came around I called Angelo and
AngeloI am so blessed to have Cleo in my life. If yesterday has anything to go by I can't wait to marry her . I took the rest of the week off to plan the party and I made sure everything was kept secret . I was missing Cleo and for some sort of reason I was feeling cold . The air con temperature was set on twenty six.I slipped into my sweats and sneakers I had already showered this morning with Cleo before I was knocked out cold. The house was quiet... Way too quiet. I went downstairs to go make myself a cup of coffee and find out where my baby love was. I called Cleo and the phone just rang and I could hear the ring tone she just changes it according to how she feels. Just the other day it was BB Rexa -meant to be, and now I'm hearing Dua Lipa's. - One kiss. I ran upstairs to my study and I found t
