style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Angelina
leaned back in her chair when she had finished her salami pizza.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“So,
are you happy now?” she asked Marcus as he too finished his Ossobuco Rosso.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“It
was at least better than that rabbit-food you ate this morning!”
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Angelina
just sighed and rolled her eyes. She was thinking about what she could do this
afternoon, for she was sure were she to go back to her flat with him one of
them would surely kill the other one, and she wasn’t ready to go to Azkaban
because of
EN-GB'>.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
EN-GB'>Flint
seemed to have come to the same conclusion as she had, for after they had paid
he asked her if there was something to do in the city. Angelina shrugged.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Nothing
much really.” At least nothing much she could do with
EN-GB'>Flint
She went to one of the small cafés or an ice cream parlour when she went out
into the city with some of her friends. Shopping was also an option when she
was with Meriel or Katie or Alicia. But with
EN-GB'>Flint
She would need something with as little time to talk as possible, for it seemed
as though every word he said made her want to strangle the man.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“We
could of course also go back to your flat and you tell me exactly how ‘serious’
your relationships have been.” He grinned at the look on her face.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Or
we could just forget about that
option!” Angelina finally sighed and arose from her seat.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Come
on, I wanted to buy a bunch of flowers for my flat anyway, so I can as well do
it now.” And with that they left the restaurant, neither of them knowing that
they were being watched by a pair of grey eyes.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>They
walked down the street, Angelina setting up a slow pace, looking here and there
through the shop windows while Marcus muttered something about ‘typical women’.
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>When they reached the flower
shop Marcus hoped she already knew what kind of flowers she wanted. But of
course she didn’t. Marcus waited impatiently for her to decide when a shop
assistant came towards them and asked how he could help.
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“I’m searching for some
flowers for my flat.” Angelina told him and
the shop assistant smiled.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Oh,
I think I have just the right flowers for you.”
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Marcus
raised his eyebrows at the man. He was no more than thirty years old but acted
as though he was his own grandfather. When he showed Angelina a bunch of white
flower’s Marcus frowned slightly.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Here.
The Madonna lilies. They are probably the most beautiful flowers we have. Their
pure white colour is magnificent and ah, their style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>fragrance…” He smelled at the
flowers and sighed.
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Behind her,
EN-GB'>Angelina could hear Marcus snort. She turned around and frowned at his
behaviour. The shop assistant, however, looked slightly taken aback and asked Marcus
if there was something wrong.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“These
are no flowers for you.” Marcus told Angelina plainly and pointed at a bunch of
roses. Black roses.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“What
about those?” he asked the shop assistant who gave him a bewildered look.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Those
are the so-called ‘Black Baccara’, they have just arrived from
EN-GB'>Milan
They are the darkest red one ever managed to grow. Such a dark red that they
look black.” He told him obviously confused at why someone would want those
flowers as decoration for one’s flat.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Angelina
raised her eyebrows at Marcus and looked at him questioningly.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Are
you already planning my style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>funeral
EN-GB'>?” she asked him when she looked back at the roses. Sure, they were beautiful,
like all roses were, but black? Marcus sighed at her ignorance and went towards
the bunch of roses, looked at the flowers and back at Angelina.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“They’re
black, proud, passionate, strong, unique and beautiful.” He said and Angelina’s
eyebrows rose even farther when she heard this.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“These
are the right flowers for you.” Marcus
finished and Angelina could just in time prevent her mouth from falling open.
But she couldn’t prevent her eyes from widening at what she had just heard. Had
she hit her head sometime today? Or had he?
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>She
was so shocked that Marcus had to pay the roses in order for them to get out of
the shop anytime that day.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Come
on.” He said and pulled her with him by her elbow, pushing the flowers into her
hands. Angelina was following him silently for some minutes, not even saying
something about the rude way he had pulled her out of the shop.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Once
they were back in the street where her flat was, however, her mind found it’s
way back home.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Did
you mean what you just said?” She asked him silently enough for nobody but him
to hear. Marcus rolled his eyes and groaned. He knew he would regret saying it.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“I
haven’t said anything the last ten minutes.” He said and tried to avoid the
subject.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“You
know what I mean.” It was obvious that he wouldn’t get Angelina to stop before
she had an answer. For a moment he thought about telling her that he had said
it only to get the stupid smile off of the shop assistant’s face, but when he
looked back at her and saw how she looked disbelieving at the flowers in her
hand he had this stupid need to say the truth. The Slytherin inside of him
winced at this thought.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Yes,
I meant what I said. And don’t think too much about it, for it was only the
truth.” He told her and went on towards the house. “As though a white lily
would fit for you.” He added more to himself.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Why
not.” Damn her why did she have to hear so good? He sighed frustrated and
turned around on the street.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“A
white lily? A white, fragile lily? I don’t think so! Look at you. You aren’t
fragile.”
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“You
think I’m beautiful?” she asked and had difficulty looking at his face, for she
was already fearing he would now laugh at her.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Have
you looked in the mirror lately?” Angelina looked asking at him.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Damnit
Johnson, yes I think you’re beautiful, and if you don’t know it yourself you
really need to have your eyes checked. Now, can we please, please go back to
your flat and stop talking about this?” with this he turned around and headed
towards the house. Angelina followed him and thought with a small smile that he
was slowly starting to act nicely. What a huge improvement.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
He
goes out with you! Buys you flowers! How dare he? What else are you two doing?
Do you let him kiss you? Is he allowed to touch you? Do you let him see you
naked? Is he sharing your bed?
How
can you allow him to be so close to you when you know that you’re mine? That
I’m the only one who is supposed to kiss you, to touch your body, to lay with
you? But he will soon be gone. And then I’ll make you mine!
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Radames
was lying on the sofa when they entered the flat and lifted his head when he
heard his mistress being home again. He meowed and jumped off of the couch to
walk to her and rub his head against her leg.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Hey,
missed me already?” Radames let out a meow as an answer and purred while he
continued to walk around her leg. Angelina carefully stepped over the cat and
walked into the kitchen to put the flowers in a vase.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Radames
came after her and looked up at her expectantly. Angelina shook her head and
kneed down before the cat.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Don’t
tell me you’re already hungry again?” Radames put his paws on her knees and
tried to touch her chin with his head.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“I
guess this is a ‘yes’.” She arose and went to get him something to eat.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“So,
am I allowed to take a shower now, or are you going to throw me out of your
bathroom as soon as I go in?” Marcus asked from the couch.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“As
long as you don’t take hours in the bathroom.” Angelina replied and with a
mocking bow Marcus disappeared into the bathroom. Angelina looked out of the
window and saw that the sun was already setting. Seeing as tomorrow was Sunday,
and this meant, the match against the style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Wimbourne
Wasps would be tomorrow.
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“I
can as well go to bed early then.” She said to style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Radames
and went into her bedroom to change for bed. The only problem was, when she had
changed into her sleeping t-shirt, she still needed to go to the bathroom.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
time than she had thought. Unfortunately the need for her to use the bathroom
was growing stronger every minute.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Damn
him!” she cursed and went to knock on the bathroom door. She could hear the
shower behind it, so she knocked harder, trying to get his attention.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“
EN-GB'>Flint
Could you please hurry?!” she
screamed at the closed door, but she didn’t get any response. She cursed again
and moved impatiently from one foot onto the other.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“
EN-GB'>Flint
damn it! I need to go in there NOW!” She banged even harder on the door but she
still didn’t get a response. At least, the shower wasn’t running anymore. But
the door was still locked and she was still on the wrong side of it. At least,
that was what her body told her.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“
EN-GB'>FLINT
her hand was already hurting and she leaned against the door to try and hear
something, when finally the door opened and she fell directly against
EN-GB'>Flint
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Johnson,
really, if this is what you wanted you should have just said so.” He grinned
down at her and Angelina raised her head from his – naked – chest to look up at
him.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Let
me go, I need to use the bathroom. NOW.” She was getting way too aware that he
wasn’t wearing much. Nothing more but a pair of boxer shorts to be exact. And she
herself was not wearing that much either. The thin fabric of her shirt let her
feel the warmth of his skin and she didn’t like this one bit.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Marcus
let her go slowly and went back into the bathroom to get his clothes. With one
last grin at her and a quick glance at her bare legs he left her alone. Angelina
sighed and closed the door behind him.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Marcus
went back into the living room area and put his clothes onto one of the armchairs.
Then he took the blanket Angelina had always on the backrest of her couch and
made himself a bed on the couch. He hadn’t slept much the night before and he
wondered if Angelina had ever slept on the couch for it was the most
uncomfortable place to sleep on.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Just
when he had lain down on the couch and had pulled the blanket up he felt a
sudden weight on his stomach. He looked down and saw Radames getting comfortable
to sleep on his stomach. Marcus raised his eyebrows at the cat and sat up.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Down!”
he pointed at the floor but Radames just meowed and curled himself up on Marcus’
legs.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“JOHNSON!”
He screamed just when he heard the bathroom door being opened. Angelina came
into the living room area and stood behind the backrest of the couch. She was just
about to ask him what his problem was when she saw Radames lying on his legs. She
couldn’t help but smile.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Well,
he seems to like you.” She said and petted Radames’ head, causing the cat to
purr and lift his head farther to reach her hand.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Get
it off of me. And make sure he stays away from me.” Angelina sighed and took Radames
into her arms stroking his fur when she held him close to her chest.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Don’t
worry, he won’t disturb your beauty sleep.” With this she went into her room
and went to bed, Radames curled up at her legs.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Angelina
wasn’t sure what had woken her but she soon noticed that Radames wasn’t where
he had been when she had fallen asleep. She moaned into her pillow but rose
nonetheless. She had a feeling that she would find her cat on
EN-GB'>Flint
stomach again.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>She
sneaked into the living room area and stopped behind the backrest of the couch.
And, just as she had thought, Radames was lying on
EN-GB'>Flint
stomach, curled up and fast asleep.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Angelina
reached out a hand to silently wake the cat and get him to come back to her
room before Marcus noticed him. But just before she could reach his fur her
wrist was held tightly.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>She
shrieked when she was pulled forward and this woke up Radames who jumped down
from his sleeping place immediately when he saw his mistress falling down onto
the body he had slept on. But Angelina didn’t come to rest on
EN-GB'>Flint
instead she fell farther, onto the floor, and Marcus fell directly on top of
her.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Angelina
groaned. Her head ached and she could barely breathe.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Damn
it Johnson. What the hell were you thinking?” she heard Marcus from directly
above her. Now that explained why she couldn’t breathe anymore. She was tightly
pressed between his body and the floor; her legs were caught in the blanket as
well as his.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“I
was trying to get Radames back before you could wake up and go all ballistic
again. Now could you please get off of me? I can’t breathe.” She told him and
tried to wiggle free from underneath him.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Johnson
stop it!” Marcus hissed and held her hips still.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Then
get finally off of me!” she told him and tried desperately to get away from him
again.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>“Johnson,
stop it! What you’re doing now is only making it worse.” He hissed and now Angelina
felt what he meant. Her eyes widened and she tensed underneath him. This could
not be happening. This was just a dream. A nightmare!
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Marcus
rose onto his elbows and reached down to get the blanket off from their legs,
desperately trying to ignore her body underneath him, only separated by the
thin t-shirt she was wearing and his boxer shorts.
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
