I stood there for a minute but then I shook my head clearing my thoughts, I walked out of the library. As I was walking, I checked my phone, I have few messages from Freya.

Freya: Where are you???

I looked at the time, its 9 already. Usually I reach home at 8, so that's why Freya is worried. I decided to call her to pick me up rather than hailing a cab, but when I reached the entrance gate, Mr. Maxwell was already there, checking his phone while leaning onto his car.

"You're still here?" I asked which made him look at me.

"Yeah, I was waiting for you" he replied standing straight.

"Uhh, why?" I asked confused

"It's late and I thought maybe I could drop you off at your place" he said unemotional

I looked at him as if he's mad or something. 2 mins ago, he rushed out of the library as if it caught up in a fire, leaving me alone and now he is being a gentleman asking me if he could drop me off. Seriously??? (Caroline Forbes vibesssss)

"So?" He asked tilting his head slightly.

"No thanks, I was actually just calling my friend to pick me up" I replied nonchalantly

"I insist" he took a step forward, looking straight into my eyes.

"I- Uhh" wtf. Why I'm stammering. Please step back... no no... Please come more clos– ohhh shut up.

"Ms. Evans?" he calls waiting for my answer.

"Uhh yeah. Okay. Whatever" shit shit shit. I looked down but slowly peeking at him to see him looking at me with some unknown expression.

He cleared his throat and opened the door for me. Seems like chivalry is not dead yet.

I settled myself on the seat while Mr. Maxwell jogged up towards his side and took his seat.

He looked towards me and made a movement with his eyes.

"Huh?" I raised my eyebrows not understanding what he meant.

"Seatbelt" he replied.

"Oh, right" I replied chuckling nervously. Seriously Olivia, how dumb you can be?

As I was in my own thoughts, I didn't notice we drove off the orphanage. That's when it hit me, Mr. Maxwell don't know my address.

I told him where I leave, which he replied with a small nod.

The rest of the drive was quite just a soft music playing in background. I rested my head on the window. I took a heavy sigh, I feel so tired. My eyes are feeling so heavy. I didn't know when I dozed off. I felt a tap on my shoulder but I didn't open my eyes.

Then suddenly a strong arms wrapped around me lifting me up. I was too tired to say anything so I rested my head on the person's shoulder.

"Mhmmm" I mumble.

I heard faint noises and after a minute or two, I felt my body placed softly on my bed. I snuggle closer to my pillow while the person covered my body with the duvet.

I jumped out of my bed so fast and went straight to bathroom. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and dressed myself.

I have to wake Freya up too, God she's gonna kill me. I run towards her room to see no sign of her. Confused, I walk downstairs to see her inside the kitchen making breakfast.

"Good morning, roomie" she chirped

"Good morning Freya" I replied while taking a seat on the kitchen table.

"Tea?" She asked as her back was facing me.

"Yes" I replied while looking at time, I still have 40 mins. I will ask Freya to drop me off.

Freya placed two cup of tea and cookies on the counter and took a seat next to me.

"Soooo?" She asked clasping her hands together seeming excited.

Not knowing what she was talking about, I raised my eyebrows at her.

She rolled her eyes and took a sip of her tea.

"Who was the mystery guy?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"Guy? Who? What guy?" I asked her, my eyes furrowed in confusion.

"Ohh, Olivia please. It's okay if you tell me. I'm your best friend" she replied waving me off.

"I seriously don't know what you're talking about" I replied, my voice getting serious.

She looked at me for a while, then faced palm herself.

"You don't know" she stated

"I don't know what? I asked her eagerly.

"Yesterday this guy in suit, extremely handsome came here while carrying you in his arms" she finally answered.

"You mean Mr. Maxwell carried me to my room?" I asked horrified.

"Mr. Maxwell? Ohhh he's the Charles Maxwell. Yesterday when I opened the door and saw him, I felt I have seen him somewhere, now I know. He's so much more handsome in person" she gushed dreamily

I rolled my eyes at her and slapped at the back of her head.

"Ouch" she glared at me. I eyed her and that's when she understood.

"Oh, yes he carried you in his arms, while you were peacefully laying your head on his chest" she grinned

I furrowed my eyes because I can't remember anything, all I remember is sitting inside his car and then.....

My eyes widened like a saucer when the memory hit me. I felt asleep in middle of the ride. And I guess that's why he carried me.

Why didn't he just wake me up. Oh God!

"Ohh stop over thinking, you just fell asleep and he being a gentleman carried you in his arms. It's not a big deal" she said while walking towards the hall and sat down on the couch.

I walked towards her, also plopping myself next to her, still things rushing inside my head.

"But, the way he was looking at you" and then she started making funny faces.

I picked the pillow and threw right at her face.

"Hey" she complained as she rubbed her nose.

"Okay enough of this, don't you have to go to work?" I asked while standing up and giving out a hand to Freya.

"No, I have a day off" she answered

"Okay than drop me off at the restaurant. I'm late today" I told her while running towards my room to gather my stuffs.

When I reached down, Freya was already at the elevator waiting for me.

I took the order and gave it to the customer. I took more orders and soon my shift was over. I went to my usual place at the other room of the restaurant. I sat down on the chair and opened my laptop.

After watching the lecture for half an hour, I don't feel like watching it more. My mind is wandering somewhere else today. So I packed my stuffs and decided to go home.

As I reached home, I saw Freya watching TV. I smiled at her when she saw me. Being a nurse, she's always busy. She barely gets a day off. But when she gets, it's like a holiday.

I placed my bag on the kitchen counter, opened fridge and took out a water bottle. When I was done drinking, I walked towards Freya.

"Wanna order pizza?" I asked her also watching the show that was playing.

"Yeah sure. I will order" she said picking her phone up and ordering the pizza.

We watched TV for a while, when the doorbell rang.

"I will get it" I said and stood up to open the door

I took our pizza and gave the delivery guy the money.

"Let's watch The vampire dairies" Freya said, setting up the laptop and playing the 1st episode.

"Dear Diary: Today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile will say, "I'm fine, thank you. Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl that lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through." We said it together, and laughed loudly. We have watched this show like more than 50 times. But can't get enough of it.

After we were done eating pizza, we called it a night and went to sleep.

I changed myself in oversized t-shirt and shorts. I jumped on my bed pulling the blanket closer.

As I closed my eyes, I saw a face that I wasignoring all day. I doze off thinking about him
