Chapter 3:
Please review and tell me what you think xx
When Angelo finally woke up an hour later he went out into the lounge room and found Charlie curled up on the couch, with her cup of coffee, watching the TV absent-mindedly. He went and sat in the arm chair and groaned rubbing his face with his hands.
"I am so exhausted!" he said wearily, leaning back in the comfy chair.
Charlie just laughed and said "well that's what you get for staying up so late silly. You could have just done the paperwork this morning".
Angelo gave a tired laugh and replied with a yawn "trust me, it was a mountain, I knew if I left it, I would have had to stay back eventually and I just wanted to get it over and done with".
"And did you?"
"Yeah it's done, I'm glad it's finished though". Charlie just looked at him quizzically. "Means I can spend more time with my beautiful wife, doesn't it?" said Angelo cheekily walking over to Charlie and snuggling up to her on the couch. Charlie just giggled and gave Angelo a kiss.
"Aren't we supposed to be getting ready for work Angelo? We don't wanna be late" Charlie told him as she pulled back.
"Yeah I guess we could...." replied Angelo with a mischievous grin, "but I am the boss and I want to spend some time with my beautiful wife" and he gave her another kiss. Angelo stood up and took her hand, leading her into the bedroom, all of Charlies worries from last night disappearing.

When Charlie and Angelo finally managed to get into work, it was business as usual. Angelo went into his office to do his work while Charlie answered a ringing phone.
"Hello?"
"Uh yes hi, may I please speak to Angelo Rosetta?" the girl asked eagerly, Charlie noticed that she sounded quite young, about 18 or 19.
"Yeah just let me get him for you, hold on just a tick".
"Um Angelo?" she said sticking her head into his office "there is a girl on the phone asking for you".
"Ok thanks Charlie" he said picking up the phone. Charlie turned around and walked back to the desk but she heard Angelo say "I thought I told you not to call my work". Her fears had returned, she could concentrate and she knew she had to get some air. She quickly told Watson she was taking a quick break and briskly walked out of the door.
