Forgiveness?

Sequel To 'Temptation'

By: Jessica-Senpai

Angelica had woken up to the empty space on the other side of the bed. It wasn't something she was use to. She loved to wake up to the comfort of someone's arms wrapped protectively around herself. It has only be one day and she was feeling a little depressed, however her stress was definitely going away. She knew it was a good idea to stay with Susie. Though she was disappointed that Chuckie hadn't made an effort to contact her. Didn't he want her to return him? It wasn't like she was going to go running back, but it would show her how much he cared and how much he missed her.

She rolled out of bed and yawned stretching her arms over her head, her shirt lifting up a bit. Even though she didn't woke up with arms around her this was the best sleep she had in months. She had actually gotten eight hours of sleep and she was refreshed and ready to start her day.

She walked over towards her temporary bathroom for the week, in her pink princess pajamas. People just don't grow out of things and that was fine, in her opinion of course. She still keep her Cynthia doll from so many years ago. She was never going to get rid of it no matter how many times her friends told her to get rid of it. Cynthia was her pride and joy, and would soon be her daughter's pride and joy.

She didn't know the gender of her child since she was only six weeks, however she had a strong feelings she was going to have a beautiful little girl. A little girl that'll give her cousins hell, just like she did when she was younger. However, she had fixed her relationships with the others and they were all good.

Angelica look at herself in the mirror and frowned, she looked a hot mess. She had bed head it was awful. She tried running her fingers through it only for her fingers to get stuck on a nap. It was horrible, she had naps in her hair it was almost embarrassing. It was a good thing she was with Susie and Henry, she would never let anyone else see her like this.

Walking out the bathroom she walked out the room all together going to the kitchen. It had to be around seven in the morning because she could hear Susie and Henry in the kitchen. Since it was Monday Henry had to go to school, Susie was jumping in joy when he turned five years old. She had the mornings to herself, since Harold normally went into work around four in the morning.

"Good morning," Angelica walked over towards Henry and kissed his forehead.

"Good morning Auntie Angie ~" Henry beamed in delight. He looked over towards his aunt and started to laugh, he always thought he bed head was funny. "Nice hair do Auntie," he covered his mouth to muffle his laughter.

Angelica glared playfully at her nephew and smirked, " oh really?" She slowly walked over towards him and ruffled his hair laughing softly. "Now we have the same hair do."

Henry groans trying to fix his hair, "unfair..." He finished up his cereal and grabbed his bag to the sound of the school bus. He kissed his mother's cheek and dashed out the house so he wouldn't miss the bus.

Angelica chuckled softly and walked over towards the refrigerator grabbing a carton of eggs, she shut the refrigerator and looked over towards Susie who was smiling at her, "what?"

Susie's smile turned to a smirk bringing her mug to her lips, "oh, nothing."

Angelica sighed softly placing her hands on her hips, "don't do that Susie, what is the problem?"

Susie sighed putting her mug on the counter. "There isn't a problem, it's just there's something different about you...you seem happier." She smiled softly.

Angelica looked at her for awhile thinking, she definitely felt different. She felt more happy and at peace here. She was more happy with Chuckie around. She just realized something, was she really not happy with Chuckie? She hasn't felt like this in a while. It almost had her thinking, she knew she loved Chuckie... But maybe she was no longer in love with him.

"I feel happier," Angelica smiled softly and went back to making herself some eggs for breakfast. She was actually happier away from him.

"How about we go to the beach for a morning swim?" Susie asked picking up her mug again to finish her coffee.

"That sounds like a great idea," Angelica agreed and sat down at the table to eat for two. The reason she had a plate full.

Angelica walked down towards the water in her pink two piece swimsuit. Her long dirty blonde hair was tied up in a neat bun,she had made sure to put on sunblock because she didn't want to be as red as a lobster. She placed her hands over her eyes blocking the sun and looked over towards the clear blue ocean water.

"Want to go for a swim?" An unfamiliar voice asked beside her. To the masculine tone she knew it was a male.

She was going to shut him down until she turned around and looked at him. Her jaw nearly dropped to the floor at what she saw. It was a male about six feet tall, a few inches taller than Chuckie. He had natural tan skin, and amazing muscle. It wasn't like buff, it was more like swimmer muscle. Her blue eyes traveled up to his face and he definitely had her hooked. He had bottle green eyes with chocolate brown hair, that just tied his entire look together.

"I would, but I don't swim with strangers," She looked away and cleared her throat. What was she doing? She was in a relationship, she shouldn't be checking this guy out. It was just plain wrong. She had Chuckie.

The male chuckled softly, which made Angelica's skin crawl a bit - in a good way. "Of course, I wouldn't want to swim with a strange either, that could insane." He held out his hand towards her, "Oscar Dallas."

Angelica laughed softly and grabbed his hand shaking it a bit, "Angelica Pickles." She shouldn't feel bad about making a friend. A male and female can be friends, best friends even.

Oscar held her hand for a few seconds before pulling it away, "we aren't strangers anymore,want to go for a swim? Angelica." He gives her a charming smile.

Before Angelica can answer him Susie walked out her house and towards them, "Hey Oscar!" She said walking over towards him giving him a hug.

Oscar chuckled softly and hugged her back, like the two have been friends forever, "Susie, how is Henry doing?"

Angelica watched the two act like good friends with confusion and shock, "you two know each other?" She pointed between the two.

After the three started talking, she learned more about Oscar and he learned more about her. She found out that he moved into the beach house a few miles away from Susie's two years ago. He and Harold had checked immediately becoming best friends and he had even created a small bond with Henry. She found out that he lived with his dog - Husky- Leo, he loved to take him for walks every morning. She learned that he moved after a bad break up with his ex girlfriend. His girlfriend of four years Natasha, had become pregnant and after a miscarriage she had flipped out on him. He couldn't stay in that relationship any longer and ended a four year relationship. (A/N:If you read Temptation, you'll understand the connection here... If you don't remember go read chapter one, the bottom half)

Angelica was sitting down on the sand beside Oscar, she strangely opened up to him about her relationship problems. About how her current boyfriend cheated on with some ginger, she never got her name. She pulled her knees up to her chest and sighed, "I don't know why I'm tell you this, I barely know you."

Oscar gives her a sad smile and placed his arm around her shoulder, "maybe because I'm a good listener, can I tell you want I think about this situation?"

Angelica looked over towards him and hesitated for a bit shrugging her shoulders, "sure..,why the hell not... Oscar please tell me what you think of this situation."

"Okay, since you begged me to tell you I guess I can," he chuckled softly causing Angelica to laugh. He removed his arm from around her shoulder, "you know how they see a drunk person speaks a sober mind? I think Chuckie obviously wasn't happy in the relationship or he was at least having doubt, you say that you loved him that's why you took him back? You said you Loved him not you're in Love with him, I don't think you realize that you are probably only in this relationship because of your baby, you don't want him or her growing up with his or her parents not together, and I think it have something to do with the divorce of your parents-" Oscar was cut off by the sound of Angelica phone.

Angelica took the phone out her hair and looked at the caller I.D, "it's Chuckie." She looked over towards Oscar then down at the ringing phone in her hands.

Note: Should Angelica answer the phone? Is what Oscar thinks of the story accurate? So many questions. Please read Temptation first, because you probably won't understand anything without reading that one first. So, the next time I'll be updating this story is next week.
