Chapter 7
Angela stumbles in the door.
Tony gets up from the couch, he stayed awake and waited.
Angela almost falls down, Tony rushes to her and holds her tightly, he sustains her arm "Angela!"
"I think it was the stupid champagne..." she says
"... oh yes? Tony raises both eyebrows and brings Angela over to couch.
"Wait, I'll bring you a glass of water!". He runs into the kitchen. Shortly afterwards "here, Angela, here you go". He hands her the glass of water.
She feels very dizzy and warm, she giggles. "thank you Tonyyy..." She takes a sip, Tony watches her , noticing that her lipstick is smeared.
Tony asks, "Tell me, Angela, how did you get home, you can barely walk?"
"... Roger has brought us!"
Tony thought so, he heard a car pull up and a quiet conversation outside the door, but he wanted to be sure again.
"Roger... Aha.." he says arrogantly and realizes again how jealous he gets.
"YES Tony, up to the door and bang I was here!" She laughs.
Tony's eyes look back and forth, he can put one and one together.
... The guy takes advantage of every opportunity...
He rolls his eyes
"Come on Angela, I'll take you to your bed!"
" oh Tony I want to stay here though, the couch is sooo soft... The stairs are sooo high and so looong, I can't do it!"
They both stand up slowly, she leans on him. "Come on Angela, you can do it, I don't want to have to carry you up the stairs again" He immediately remembers a certain situation...
He grins slightly, but then comes back to his right mind.
He helps her, pulling her up the stairs.
"Uff Angela come on, help me!" Angela laughs, slumps into his arms.
"Really?" "Mamma Mia..." Tony takes her in his strong arms, he carries her up the rest of the stairs. He takes her to her bedroom and she flops down on her bed.
Her legs are still hanging out of bed, Tony helps her out of her shoes, he finds it very difficult to concentrate. He looks at her, unable to take his eyes off Angela. He is enraptured by her legs, her figure.
... She's so sexy...
But he would never take advantage of this situation.
He puts her long legs in bed and covers her with the duvet.
He watches her for a moment.
He knows how much she needs him and he needs her. He takes a deep breath in and out, turns off the light and leaves her bedroom.
Next morning.
Angela's Bedroom
... She wakes up, sits down very slowly. "Ah, my head..." she rubs her head. With a half-awake gaze, she directs where she is and looks around.
… I'm still wearing my clothes from yesterday … Oh my god..
She puts her hands in front of her face and lets herself fall sideways back into her bed.
You can hear it whistling in the hallway. Tony tentatively knocks on Angela's bedroom door.
"... Mh... yes..." she replies grumpily.
He enters, looks at her and gets big eyes when he sees that her skirt just covers what it is supposed to cover...
The duvet lies on the floor.
".. Angela?" Tony stammers. Angela looks up at him with tousled hair and half-open eyes.
"Tony, oh don't scream like that, please..." However, she does not notice that she is lying there half naked at this moment.
Tony is still looking, his heart beating faster..."How are you?" he asks in a whisper.
He can't take his eyes off her. She sits down again.
"Ugh, oh, I'm a little dizzy, I'm lousy, what day is today?"
Tony just starts at her, he shakes his head slightly, his mouth is open. "Saturday... Angela... Do you want me to help you?"
Angela looks at him questioningly, rubs her forehead again, her head hurts more. She looks around, looks down at herself, she clears her throat and pulls her skirt down slightly. She blushes.
She tries to get up slowly, but notices that her circulation is not yet cooperating. Tony sits down next to her.
He giggles." oh yes, Angela, I haven't seen you so badly hungover in a long time..!"
Angela looks at him annoyed and punches him on his shoulder. "Ouh..." He laughs out loud.
She's still embarrassed. She stands up. "I need a shower right now!"
"... ok Angela, I'll see you later downstairs, I'll make you a real hangover breakfast, yes?!"
"ok Tony.." replies Angela.
She trots into the bathroom.
Tony goes to the door..."if you still need help, just call". He grins cheekily.
"TONY!" Angela quickly closes the bathroom door.
Tony laughs, claps his hands and goes downstairs.
Half an hour later.
Freshly showered, Angela comes into the kitchen. She is wearing her bathrobe and has her hair pinned up.
"Hey Angela, are you feeling better now, what's your head doing?" Tony replies with a smile.
Angela; "Yes and no". She takes a glass from the cupboard, goes to the sink and pours herself water, Tony next to her. She holds the cold glass to her head.
Tony looks at her. He remembers the day they both drank too much... when they had kissed and Angela had a hangover the next day...
He smiles. Then he asks her, "How was yesterday's business lunch?"
Angela looks at him, goes to the table and sits down. Tony puts a plate of scrambled eggs and toast in front of her, along with an extra glass of water with an aspirin tablet floating in it. He sits astride the chair next to her.
"It went very well Tony, CLOVER and the agency want to continue working together, we get an advertising order" says Angela proudly
"I'm happy about that, Angela! So the evening was successful." he answers.
Angela winks at him to "yes, very".
Then Tony remembers the smudged lipstick on Angela's mouth again.
... maybe I should ask... But maybe I don't want to know... Maybe something happened... Maybe they've gotten closer, too close. Roger is a womanizer, everyone can see that.
What if the two of them kissed... What if he has feelings for her or if she has feelings for him?
The thoughts are circling in Tony's head, it drives him crazy not to know what exactly happened last night.
He chews his lips and looks at Angela questioningly. It keeps him busy.
... What if he kissed her and she didn't want to... If he shamelessly took advantage of the situation?... Maybe she can't remember it... What if...
He gets impatient, when suddenly he blurts out, "Did he kiss you?"
Angela looks at him with huge eyes.
... Oh yes, she remembers... Tell Angela, get it out…!
"Excuse me?!" Angela looks at him, blushing.
Tony stares directly at her, "I want to know if Roger kissed you last night!"
Angela thinks... why does he want to know that, it's none of his business at all -` Mr. Kathleen's ex lover`.
She avoids his staring, questioning gaze and looks down.
"... I don't know..." she stammers. She is unsure of what exactly to say. It's none of his business, but she doesn't want to hurt him either.
Tony stands up and says louder to her, "You don't know, you don't know? Angela? How can you not know anymore. Or did he get you drunk and you don't remember a lot of things?"
She also stands up, stands directly in front of him, very close, and says loudly: "TONY, now you're exaggerating! He is my collegue and a very charming man, he took us home it was just a good night kiss. A `thank you kiss´ you know.."
She knows she's lying, but she doesn't know how to help herself.
Tony is jealous. His heart is pounding. It's his ANGELA! He wants to punch Roger in the face.
Poor Angela, he thinks, she was too drunk and he must have taken advantage of that !
When he looks into her eyes, he calms down again. He strokes her arms, holds her tightly. He can smell her scent, it drives him crazy. He can't let Roger take her away from him! He's got to do something.
Angela looks at him ... what he's probably thinking right now...
She feels his arms, smells his scent, when they get even closer you can feel her heartbeat. His closeness drives her crazy. She leads this dichotomy again.
... How to be attracted to two men at the same time…she thinks.
Tony can't resist for long, he pulls her closer to him, she feels his heart beating strongly, just like hers. He kisses her, passionately. She responds to it.
Angela gets dizzy and hot again. She gives herself to him. She doesn't know what to do. She still loves Tony, even after all the heartbreak.
Their tongues meet, Angela wraps her arms around Tony. Both are so passionate. They move towards the kitchen counter. He pushes her to the closet, she buries her hands in his hair.
Tony can't stand any longer, he lifts her onto the kitchen counter, kisses her neck, pulls her bathrobe down slightly by the shoulder... her legs clasp his hips. He slides his hand up her thigh, notices that she is only wearing a pair of panties underneath.
He is aroused, slides his hand further under her bathrobe.
"oh Angela," he whispers softly, "you are so beautiful..."
Angela slips a soft moan of arousal.
"Oh Tony..." She breathes to him.
She has to stand firm, she still needs time, not here not now "we have to stop it..." she whispers.
Tony kisses her neck, intensely and tenderly, she tilts her head back. "Angela, you're so sexy... I want you, only you... but you're right!" He kisses her briefly, his hand caresses her shoulder, glides on to her collarbone, to her chest. The other hand holds her thigh.
She closes her eyes, enjoying his closeness, his warmth, his touches.
Tony is slowly stopping. He holds her tightly, she stands on the floor again. Slowly, she opens her eyes again. Tony gives her a kiss on the forehead. Angela takes a deep breath. They smile sheepishly at each other.
They hold hands for a moment, then move away from each other again, still very excited.
Angela holds her hand in front of her chest, her heart still beating.
Silence
She sits back down at the table and finishes the glass of water with the aspirin.
She smiles contentedly.
Tony smiles too, devotes himself to the dishes..."Okay, then I'll clean up here.."
He turns to her for a moment and sees her smile.
... Roger doesn't get Angela. No matter how long I have to wait!
