Angel POV
Simon... a cute name for a cute boy. I shan't fall in love with those deep brown eyes. I promised myself that. I shook Simon's hand, saying "Thank you again." My hear skipped a beat and sparks flew. I turned away quickly.
I tried to leave, but Mrs. Brown's voice stopped me. "You're not going back to the woods are you?"
"I have no other place to go, Mrs. Brown. My mother died giving birth to my brother who died shortly after. The family cook died because of cancer. My father, an international trader, doesn't know about my mother's passing and will never know until he passes himself."
"Then, you can stay here, Angel."
I turned around to see Simon. My name has never sounded so beautiful. He made it sound so beautiful.
"That's right, Angel. You could stay here if you want," added Torra.
"Alright, but just for the night."
"Come on! I'll introduce you to my siblings!"
"Simon, Angel must change first. Come along, dear."
Simon POV
"Hey, Simon, Are you okay?" Eric asked.
"What makes you say that?"
"You're smiling awfully unusually today."
"I just met a girl and.."
"You met a girl?! That is incredible news, Simon! Who is she, what's her name?" Lilly interrupted.
"Her name's Angel Smythe and she's the daughter of an international trader. She's staying here for the night."
"Why?" She asked.
"She ran away from home and lives on her own. I plan to change that."
"KIDS! It's time for dinner!"
"Coming Papa!
Mama and Angel were already there. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her in a mint green dress with a pale pink ribbon and her hair straight down her back. Eric elbowed me and I elbowed him back. We all sat down and ate. I was able to sit next to Angel, who had perfect table manners.
"Mrs. Blatherwick, have you changed any of your recipes?"
"No, Mr. Brown, it was all Angel's doing. She cooked everything in sight. Very skilled I must say."
"Angel, you didn't have to do that," Torra objected.
"Though, all of us agree that your cooking is fantastic,' I added.
"Oh, but that's the least I can do after all."
She tried to hide it, but she blushed. I smirked, coming up with a plan to make her stay.
