"Ah, I see." Angela replied. "You'll have to forgive her...she gets like this around new faces. But after a while she'll be used to your scent and won't be so clingy." She dried her hands. "It's also because she misses Godpa...he's her Alpha in a sense and with out him around she's not sure how she should behave."
Angela gave Roxy a gentle pat on the head.
"Well, that takes care of the dishes. Thanks for your help, Atem. I'm going to take a bath before I turn in. Is there anything you want to ask me, before hand?"

Atem absorbed everything Angela had said about Roxy. He was especially relieved she didn't start getting oversensitive and yelling at him. "I understand." He resolved to just ignore her until she did stop being clingy and if she did, just show some attention at least. He was curious to see how Godpa kept her tamed and the man himself. 'Perhaps I can learn a thing or two from him. I am looking forward to meeting him. ' He left the sink area. "You're welcome. The pleasure is mine," he said with a smile, when she thanked him for helping with the dishes. " Is there any place you wanted to show me tomorrow, on our outing?"

Angela tapped her fingers on the counter. "Hmm...that's a good question." She snapped her fingers. "Oh, how about the Faye Cafe'? It's a cute little place a friend of my Godpa's runs. He makes all the pastries fresh, same for the drinks. We could stop there for breakfast or just a drink? It's right by the park near the Museum too!"

Atem thought about this. He didn't want her spending any more money on him and he had none of his own, but at the same time enjoyed trying new stuff, as long as it didn't give him cause to be wary. Not to mention it would break his old breakfast routine of only pancakes and such. Plus, the fact that the place was right next to the museum made it better. 'What would it hurt?' "All right," he agreed.

Angela clapped her hands together. "Wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that!" She suddenly saw the time. "By Cliffs of Moor! I didn't know it was so late...better get that bath done." Angela hung up the dish towel she had been using to dry her hands. "See you in the morning Atem." The women went to the bathroom by her room and closed the door. Her heart had been beating so fast she thought it would fly from her chest. "Why do I feel this way? What's wrong with me?" Her cross began to get warm again...it had been since she and Atem were talking. Now it was warmer than before. "And what is going on with my mother's necklace?!" Desperate to rid her mind of these troubled thoughts, Angela started her bath and sighed in bliss when she entered the warm water. ~*~ Yugi, meanwhile, was racking his brain thinking of all the places to look for the pharaoh. "Where could he be?!" He moaned, gripping his hair. "Yugi?" Called Grandpa. "Can you come here please?" |

Atem smiled as he watched her leave. He headed to the room he was currently utilizing as well and shut the door behind him, sitting on the bed. Although he didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with her since both of them were out a great deal of the day, he enjoyed the time he did spend with her. It helped to take his mind off of the problems he was having with Yugi and cheered him up considerably. He nearly forgot he had the issues until the harsh words entered his mind. He let out a sad sigh as he wished things were different. 'At least I have Angela as a friend for now.' He found himself craving to spend more time with her and looking forward to the next day. He thought of telling her about the problem after the trip to the museum. He was sure she would give him the right advice and not consider him crazy after she learned who he was. He got up to lock the door and then started to get ready for bed. That done, he chose an outfit and then turned out the lights, deciding to call it an early night this time.
*********
Yugi sighed and lazily got up to go see what his grandpa wanted. "Yes Grandpa? Is everything ok?" The last thing he wanted to hear was bad news.

Grandpa was sitting on the couch, sipping on coffee when Yugi came down. He turned to his grandson. "Yugi? I want you to tell me the truth...was the pharaoh really here in our house last night? If so, then why did you let him leave and make him stay? You know there was rain last night."

Yugi looked down at the ground, gulping and then looked up at his grandpa so the old man couldn't suspect he was lying. "Yes. He really was here. I did tell him he could stay but he was insistent on leaving. I couldn't very well force him to stay if he didn't want to be here. And I can't say I blamed him. I was the one who made him feel unwelcome. I hurt his feelings and he probably wants nothing to do with me.." His voice shook a little as he still felt guilty for how he had treated Atem. He looked back down so his grandpa wouldn't see him about to cry.

Grandpa got up and went over to his grandson, before pulling him into a hug. "There, there, my boy. While I'm disappointed you acted like that...I know you didn't mean to be stern with the pharaoh." He ruffled Yugi's hair. "We'll start looking for him, come morning. The shop's closed tomorrow so I can help you search." Yugi sniffled before hugging his grandpa back. "Thanks, Grandpa." "Of course, Yugi. Now off to bed with you." ~*~ Angela dreamed of him again...the strange man whose face she couldn't see. She sat behind him on a horse as they rode through the hills, her head was on his back and she could hear his heart beating in time with the sound of the horses hooves on the earth. Above them, the moon shone like a pearl...bathing them in a pool of light. Her companion said something to her...but Angela couldn't understand, for it was silent. Just he brought her hand to his lips to kiss...her alarm beeped. "Again?!" She groaned. "Stupid thing...I forgot to turn it off." Angela switched off her clock and fluffed her pillow before drifting off; as she had four more hours of sleep left. (You're up with Atem.) |

Yugi slowly climbed upstairs and went into his room, closing the door behind him before locking the door. He put on his PJs, knowing it was extra late and if he wanted to be productive the next day, he would need a good nights rest. As he headed into the bathroom, a thought occurred to him. 'Could he have gone back to Egypt, thinking no one wanted him here?' Grabbing his toothbrush, he picked up the toothpaste to put on it while he considered checking with the Ishtars' first thing.
~~~~~~~~
Atem jarred awake after he having a dream. He reached over and turned on the lamp, staring up at the clock. It was shortly after five in the morning, which was 2 hours, sometimes one before he usually awoke. He remembered he had tuned in considerably earlier than he usually did the other night, which would explain why he could no longer sleep. Feeling refreshed, he sat up and reached for the book he was reading from the nightstand, deciding to read to pass the time. He knew there was quite a bit of it before he could even start getting ready for the day. 'If Angela knew what an early bird I am.' He couldn't help chuckling to himself at one of the lectures she would be bound to give him.

Angela was awakened from her sleep, a few hours later, by Roxy licking her cheek. The clock said 6 a.m. and she got up while stretching out her limbs. "Morning, girl."
Roxy gave a soft bark and waited for Angela to finish getting ready; the golden eyed woman choose a light blue top, slim jeans, leather tan boots and purple headband to keep her hair out of her face. Once she was dressed, Angela went to the kitchen to give Roxy her breakfast...carrying her boots to the door.
She had to laugh when her dog began to wolf down the kibble. "You're such a glutton."
Angela then went to check on Atem, and knocked softly on his door. "Atem? Are you up?"

Atem placed the book aside as he got up to start making the bed. "Yes. I have been for some time actually." He hoped she wouldn't ask exactly how long. He was still scared she would have hissy fit.

"Really?" Angela asked. "What time did you wake up? If you mind me asking?"

Atem silently cursed, for it was the one question he was hoping she wouldn't ask. "Over an hour ago. I couldn't sleep after that." He continued to make the bed and then he went to get some underclothing for when he freshened up and dressed.

Angela giggled, "It seems we have the same schedule. Doctors have to be up at dawn in order to get to the clinic or hospital to prepare for the day. But it's only on days off that I sleep in. And Godpa get up even earlier than me, believe it or not." She paused for a minute when she heard Roxy whine. "I'm going to let Roxy outside before we go. I'll be in the Living Room, kay?"
