Chapter 54

Angela finished her coffee and rinsed out the mug. Then she went and got a some clothes from Matt’s suitcase. She quickly got changed and hung her dress neatly on the closet door.

She stared at the crackling fireplace and couldn’t help but smile. This night had been the most amazing night she’d had in a long time. It was remarkable how Matt managed to make her so happy in such a short amount of time. She wanted to stay in this good a mood forever.

Angela sighed as she pulled her hair out and ran her fingers through it. She yawned as she laid across the couch and closed her eye’s. She shivered, smiling as she continued thinking about Matt.

Angela was asleep when Matt came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of pajama pants and a long sleeve white shirt, which he left unbuttoned. A towel was draped over his shoulders so his damp hair wouldn’t soak his shirt. He smiled seeing Angela sound asleep on the couch. He stared at her trying to understand how being as incredible as she was she wasn’t already with anyone. Although he felt close to her, he realized suddenly that she was a mystery he was going to be happy to solve. He grinned as he walked to the end of the couch were she rested peacefully sleeping like an Angel, which she was. Matt knelt down infront of the couch and watched the way her hair fell around her, the way his sweatshirt moved when she breathed, the way the smile across her lips told him what he hoped- she was happy.

Matt took a breath an touched her cheek softly, brushing his finger tips gently across her soft skin. Matt sighed as he whispered her name. Matt watched as slowly Angela’s eye’s opened and she looked over at him. Angela’s heart beat faster as she saw Matt, his shirt unbuttoned and his wet hair clinging to his neck and the front of his chest. He looked fantastic!

"I hate to wake you..... but I had to...." Matt whispered as Angela sat up and smiled at him. Angela watched as Matt rose to his feet and looked down at her.

"Ohh really? Why’s that?" Angela asked softly as she got up and grinned at Matt.

Matt smiled as he took a step closer to her sliding his arms slowly around her waist as he pulled her into his arms, hugging her. Angela sighed snuggling against him. "Here’s why......" Matt whispered as his lips caught Angela’s and he kissed her delicately, taking his time.

***

A few minutes later..... Matt and Angela were snuggled warm under the covers and cuddled up close together. Angela snuggled against Matt and he held her tight. Angela closed her eye’s happy and just plain sleepy.

"Matt, my eye’s won’t stay open, I’m gonna fall asleep...." Angela whispered as Matt chuckled.

"Its okay.... did you have a good time tonight?" Matt asked as he smoothed her hair and watched her smile.

"I can’t remember...... when I had more fun....." Angela whispered sleepily. Matt smiled knowing she was falling asleep.

"Me either." Matt whispered as he hugged her gently snuggling against his pillow closing his own eye’s.

After a few moments, Matt opened his eye’s hearing Angela’s mumbled sleepy whisper.

"Goodnight Matt...." Angela whispered.

Matt grinned as he leaned down and brushed a quick kiss across her lips. "Goodnight my California girl!" Matt whispered watching Angela for a few moments, a smile appeared on her face as he knew she drifted off to sleep. Matt sighed holding her gently as he snuggled under the covers, warm and contented, holding Angela, Matt sighed whispering, "Sleep well milady..... my angel....." And soon he found himself drifting off to sleep.
