His Hearts Desires

Chapter 7

Angel was startled by the question. I cant.

'And why not?

'I have a lot of work and i get out of work late

That's all

'Yes isnt that enough?She could not believe her eyes when he called over Josh. Hey man,Yes? Can you let Angel have out off work early today,she has a date with me.

Josh looked at me quizzing. I begged with my eyes for him to say no but he turned to Angelo instead. Sure,I'll be seeing you tomorrow Angel. Her mouth hang open in surprise and she glared at the traitors retreating back then back then at Angelo

You didn't have to do that '. He looked amused ,damn him .He shrugged. Hey ,I wanted you for tonight and nothing could get in the way of that,any excuses left?

As a matter of fact yes,I can't go because i have no one to leave Ellie with. 'That's easy,we will leave her with my parents,'Won't that be too much trouble for them.,i don't want to impose .

Are you kidding,they would be delighted to be with her,after all they have been bugging me to give them one,am just not the settling down type 'So what type are you?

Oh a normal type of guy who is shy about being burnt twice '.

She wondered who had burnt him in the first place but she did not want to pry in his business ,

' Okay then I'll go out with you,no strings attached. Cool with me,I'll pick you up at 7.00 evening,be ready. I don't like being kept waiting.

' What an arrogant man ' Okay if you have nothing else to say can you leave me alone ,You're disrupting my work. She snapped.

Mmmh,a woman with a temper,Feisty,i like it,.

' Whatever ,can you leave me alone now,Don't worry baby,only now,later i wouldn't go so easily ciao.

With that he strode out of the cafe. She was busy wondering what he had meant by he wouldn't go so easily,She shrugged ,guess she'll have to wait and see.

What was that all about,I hope your not pinning your hopes up too high,you know at some point he will return to New York. I don't want to see your heart all broken baby gal.

She gave Josh a brief hug 'Don't worry about anything like that happening Josh. Am too busy with work and Ellie to think about a man let alone a playboy one. Josh loved her to bits and with the smooth charmer operating so smoothly around Angel,He had to be worried. He loved her like a big brother would.

She was such a nice girl and cheerful before the death of her parents. She had been left as the only breadwinner of the small family consisting of her and her sister,Ellie.

Guess you have a big date with Mr Big shot. Don't even remind me and i don't even have a dress to go with. Come baby-gal ,am taking you shopping. 'Hey are you like my new gay best-friend?(its not meant to be offensive,i love gay people,)

Ha ha,funny,but no,am just a concerned friend who loves you .He spanked her butt. Hurry up and change. 'OK OK,what about the shop?'Don't worry, we are closing it for the rest of the day. Don't just stand there looking at me ,chap chap,lets go.

At the mall,Josh took her straight to the clothes shop. He made her try out very many dresses. Finally she got a little black strapless dress that contrasted with her red hare and pale skin and was very beautiful.

Finally, a dress mad for you ', We can't buy this ,it's too expensive Shush,don't worry it's all on me,besides you never let me buy you anything,'Oh OK but I'll pay you back later.

They also bought black stiletto shoes and some jewelry to go with the dress. Thank you for today Josh,you're the best ',,'Don't i know it. ' Hey don't be so cocky.
