ONLY HIS (previously Angelica)

Surgery

≈Franco≈

I reluctantly slide out from under my love after seeing I have just over an hour to get ready for the stupid event I have to leave her for

I strip from my joggers and step into the steaming shower to wash my hair and body before I step out again and dry myself

I wrap the towel around my waist before shaving and washing my face then fixing my hair

I walk through the bedroom and into my closet to change into my suit, slip on my shoes and spray my aftershave

I fix my tie and walk over to my girl who's just waking up from her nap

"Hey baby," I say softly as I sit down and pull her onto my lap

"You look really handsome," she tells me with a lazy smile

Please don't make me leave you

"Thank you princess" I kiss her and and move to lean against the headboard with my girl lying across my body

"No, I can't get comfy" she mumbles tiredly

"You can" I stroke my fingers through her hair

"No, you need to go"

"I don't need to baby" I plant soft kisses on her face

"You do," she says almost in a whisper as she falls back to sleep and I smile proudly thinking I've won

"No!" she sits up abruptly "Stop" she whines "You need to leave"

"Let me just wait until my moms here" I pull her back down as she nods

I feel her forehead and sigh

She's boiling

"Angelica"

"Hm?" she lifts her head up

"You're not well, please don't make me go" I lean my forehead against hers

"You think I want you to leave? I don't feel well, I just want to cling onto you and let you baby me but you can't miss this event plus your mom will be here in case anything happens so I'll be fine"

"Fine" I kiss her "I'll be home as soon as possible" I kiss her again as the doorbell rings

I whine as she moves off me and stands up

She slowly heads downstairs with me behind her before I open the door

"Oh don't you look handsome"

"Thanks, ma" I chuckle as I hug her

I pull back "Please make sure she's okay and call me as soon as anything happens"

"I promise Franco, don't worry, she'll be okay"

"Yeah" I sigh as I give her a single nod

The door opens again to Dante who's here to take us to the event

"Hi Gloria" he smiles widely as he hugs her

"Hello Dante you're looking smart" she smiles back

"I know" he grins smugly before hugging Angel

"Hey girl"

"Hi Dante"

He pulls back and holds her face in his hands "Wow you look like shit"

"Thanks, Dante" she deadpans

"I mean it, you're all pale and sickly like a dying Victorian child"

"Okay you can go now" she glares at him as we laugh
