"Oh This is torture!" Tony thought as he lie so close to Angela in the tiny bed they were forced to share. All he wanted to do was hold her in his arms, kiss her and tell her he loved her. But they were no longer Anthony and Ingrid, two children at camp making memories to last a lifetime, they were Tony and Angela, boss and employee. Although they basically admitted they had feelings for one another, there was too much at risk, to much at stake to admit any true feelings.
Angela felt just as sad and lonely even though she was far from being alone. She wished that she could roll over and lay in Tony's arms, get comfortable. Instead she was constricted to a small half of a bed lying stiff as a board trying to fall asleep. The thoughts of laying in Tony's arms, kissing him, just being with him warmed her cold rain soaked body untill she was in an unbreakable peaceful slumber.
Tony was up much longer. He lie awake thinking of the past the present and the future. In his past he knew a shy little girl, who was looking to grow up, to have her first kiss, and he gave that to her. In his present he knew a beautiful but uptight single mother and career woman. She needed a housekeeper, a male role model for her son, and a friend and he had given her those things. In his future he hoped to have this same woman become his wife so he could also give her a husband and help her fill the hole in her heart that was made when her first husband walked out of her life.
By now he was sure she was asleep. She had rolled on her side to face him, and she had her eyes closed and she had a hint of a smile on her face. Slowly to be sure not to wake her, Tony leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. When she didn't stir Tony carefully put his arms around her and held her there for the rest of the night. Slowly but surely Tony drifted off to dreamland.
Both were content all night. When they awoke in the morning they both mumbled apologies for the way they woke up, entangled in the others arms. They changed back into their original clothes, following the same procedure as the night before, Angela using the bathroom and Tony changing in the bedroom. After they were both ready, they left to find their way talking, laughing, and holding hands all the way back to camp.
