Chapter 18- Angry Angel

-Josef's Office-
(Josef's POV)

I had gone to a meeting about 3 hours ago, Toni said she would be okay in my office, said she would probably play around on the Internet. I tried not to be long, but, that didn't work to well obviously.

When I opened the door to my office I didn't see her behind my desk. I looked over at the couch and smiled. She was curled up, sleeping. She was quite beautiful when she sleeps.

I walked over and sat down on the end of the couch.

"Toni...Toni réveiller mon petit."

She opened her eyes and glared up at me.

"You speak French..."

I smirked at her. "Why, yes I do...when you live 400 years you learn things."

"I'm not that small..."

I laughed at her, she glared at me again. "Sometimes I hate you."

I laughed again. "Truth hurts."

She continued to glare at me. "Is there a reason why you woke me up?"

I nodded. "I figured we could leave, then you can sleep in an actual bed."

She nodded, and gave me a small smile. I put out my hand, she stood up and stumbled a bit.

"Quite clumsy are we?"

She glared again. "Forgive me, you did after all, just wake me up."

I smiled. She was so cute when she's annoyed.

-Josef's House-
(Toni's POV)

I had dozed off in the car most of the way to his house. I was hurting, and I normally try to sleep when I'm hurting like this. My shoulders felt like I spent the last week tied up, and my wrist were bruised beyond belief.

"Toni, you up?"

I opened my eyes, Josef had opened my door and was waiting to take my hand to help me out the car.

"Yea, but I don't want to move..."

He smiled at me, if I would have been more awake, it probably would have turned me on, but right now...

Nothing could get me excited.

Before I could protest, Josef hand bent down and ran his arm under my legs, then, put his other behind my back. He slowly lifted me out of his car.

"Josef, this is ridiculous."

He laughed. "Shut up and go back to sleep."

I didn't argue with him.

-Later-

I woke up in one of the biggest beds I had ever seen. The silk sheets felt amazing on my legs, I didn't want to get up.

I sat up and looked around, Josef's asleep...so what am I supposed to do? It's only 10:30, he's not going to be up for a while...

I saw my purse next to the bed, I leaned over and grabbed my phone out of it.

I dialed my moms number and waited patiently.

"Hello?"

"Maman! Votre impressionnant!"

She laughed. "Why am I awesome?"

"Trust me, you don't want the details, just be happy in knowing you're awesome!"

"Yea, if it's what I think it is, please do spare me the details..."

I laughed. "Yea, that's what I figured."

"You sound happier."

"I am."

"That's good...I gotta go babe, cause I have to meet with a new client. Je vous aime."

"Je vous aime aussi."

I hung up and leaned back against the head board. Now, I'm bored. I crawled out of the bed and realized, I had no pants on...

"Well, this is interesting..."

Josef must have taken my blue jeans off so I would be more comfortable, but where are they now?

It took me nearly ten minutes to find my jeans, the room was just so big!

I pulled them on and walked to the door. I walked out into a massive hall, and I had no clue where to go. I followed the hall into a big living area, I looked around, wondering if there was anyone awake. I wasn't stupid, I knew he must have maids, so where are they?

I heard someone singing, I tried following the the voice, I found the woman who was singing in a large kitchen. She heard my footsteps and turned to me. She gave me a small smile.

"You must be the girl I saw Mr. Konstantin carrying in this morning."

I nodded. "Yea, that would be me...I'm Antoinette Baker." I put out my hand and she shook it.

"Melissa, I'm Mr. Konstantin's house keeper."

"Nice to meet you..."

She smiled at me. "I'm guessing you're hungry."

I grinned and nodded. "Starving actually..."

She turned towards the fridge. "Mr. Konstantin keeps plenty of food around for his freshies...so what would you like?"

"Anything that wasn't alive at one time."

She laughed. "I'll see what I can do."

-Later-

I had spent most of the day in bed watching movies, turns out that big bedroom had a nice size TV. All through the day I noticed that I didn't see any of these 'freshies' around, I asked Melissa where they were, she said that last night Josef had sent them all out, told them he'd call them when he needed them back. She said he's going to last the weekend on blood from the morgue. She said I should take it as a compliment, he never drinks blood from the morgue, unless he has too.

The sun was setting, and I was n the pool, I had stripped down to my bra and panties since I didn't have a bathing suit to change into. I was swimming underwater, and when I came up I saw feet on the side of the pool. I looked up and Josef was standing there smiling down to me. He was wearing nothing but a pair of lounge pants.

"Having fun?" He asked, the smile never leaving his face.

"I am now." I swam to the shallow end so I could stand up, he followed me. He crouched down next to the pool and just smiled.

I grinned. "That wasn't smart."

"Why..."

I jumped, grabbed his hands and pulled him into the water. Once we resurfaced he put his hands on my hips and glared at me.

"You are such a bitch."

I laughed. "Not my fault you're stupid enough to kneel down next to a pool that I was swimming in."

"You do realize how much you owe me now."

I smiled. "Funny, I don't think I'll mind paying you back."

He pushed me towards the side of the pool, he had me pinned.

Yea, this is one debt I would enjoy paying back.
