《ORPHANAGE GIRL》Chapter 10

He looked at me for few seconds than bend down causing me to jump back. He looked up at me like I was some idiot, then it might have clicked him.
He showed the object that was in his hand, with amused expression on his face.
I looked at the object in his hand. I sigh in relief. Wait, Pregnancy test? Huh?
"Oh" he lower the object down. He might have saw me looking at it.
I raised my eyebrows at him waiting for him to explain.
But Mr. Maxwell being me Maxwell didn't even said a word instead he walked passed me towards the payment counter.
I rolled my eyes and then I too headed towards the counter.
I stood next to him watching him pay for the pregnancy test kit. I can feel his eyes on me but I didn't look up.
I was next, so I handed the lady with cash while thanking her as I walked out of the shop.
As I exited the shop, Mr. Maxwell is standing there with his hands stuffed inside his pocket. I looked at him to see that he is already looking at me.
I shake my head, I had enough Maxwell drama to last me forever, so I just looked away and started walking towards the apartment.
"Olivia wait"
I turn around looking back to see him now walking towards me.
"Um yes?" I asked as soon as he reached
"Before you were confused about the pregnancy test in my hand -"
"Oh no it's not any of my business" I cut him off
He narrowed his eyes at me and then looked away, taking a deep breath.
"Uh why don't you come with me and find out?" He asked, his voice was soft for the first time.
I looked at him as if he has gone crazy or something, but his hair is uneven, tie hung low, he looks tired. I mean he is wearing his suit but today he don't have this attitude that he carries around.
"Okay" I replied, I know I shouldn't have said yes. But I was curious.
He smiled and gesture towards the car.
He opened the door for me and then walk towards his side.
This is the 3rd time I'm in his car. And I have barely known his for like 2 weeks?
"It is for my sister" he speaks
"What?"
"The test. It is for my sister"
He have a sister? I didn't know about that. Girl, you don't know anything about him. My brain responded.
"Oh" I replied softly.
The ride to him home was in silence. I thought of bring yesterday's topic but then one look at him made me back out. He look worried.
His fingers are tapping on the steering wheel, occasionally running his fingers through his hair.

A huge white mansion came in a view. I stare at in awe.
Mr. Maxwell drove through those big Iron Gate, as he nodded at the security guards.
He stopped the car at the driveway, I climbed out of the car my eyes still lingering at the beautiful mansion in front of me.
I have never seen a mansion in my life. I have read about it in some novels but it looks more beautiful in reality.
There is huge fountain in the center of the pathway surrounded by luscious garden which is indescribable. Different and gorgeous flowers blooming.
We started walking towards the extravagant house, down the little stone path to white door. Mr. Maxwell ranged the doorbell, which was opened by a Butler greeting Mr. Maxwell and me.
"Where is Sarah?" He asked
"She is upstairs, sir" the butler replied.
He just nodded at him and he walked towards the hallway, me following him like lost puppy.
I stole a glance around the place. The black and white floor of the entrance glowed, obviously having been cleaned regularly. Stairs lay across the hallway, leading towards the room upstairs. A huge open kitchen with modern white and brown furniture and appliances and big wooden dining table with 8 chairs giving the complete look of the kitchen. A door that leaded into the living room. The walls were a dark blue with white brush swipes crossing over it, creating a shimmer effect. Huge chandelier hung on the top of the ceiling, giving the entire room a royal look. On the right side there is a fire place and on the top of it antique vases and showcases was arranged neatly.
A beautiful painting hung on the wall and some small photo frame surrounded it. An attractive curved sofa in the center of the living room with a flat screen placed in inside the wall furniture.
"Um Olivia?" My thoughts were distracted when Mr. Maxwell called me
"Huh?" Feeling slightly embarrassed as he caught me looking at his mansion like a freak
"I really don't know how to talk to her about it. I would really appreciate if you would help me out with it" he said nervously. Wait, me? But one look at him made me shut my mouth.
He's never nervous, he always carry this strong aura. But right now all I see is a caring brother who is really worried about his sister.
"Sure" I smiled at him
He smiled back and guided me upstairs.
We reached a door and knocked at it.
A girl about my age open the door.
"Charles" she said hugging her brother
He hugged her back cares her hair.
Then her eyes flickered towards me. She is beautiful with strawberry blonde hair, high cheekbones, and big grey eyes.

"Who is she?" She smiled
"Olivia" I extended my hands towards her.
Sarah looked at her brother amusedly smiling and then back at me, extending her hand to shake mine.
"Hi, Olivia. I didn't know my brother was bringing someone" she said looking at his brother
"She knows" Mr. Maxwell told her
"Oh" her eyes widened
Silence surrounded us but was interrupted by a phone call.
"You two do the talking. I need to attend this call" he then walked out of the room
Sarah smiled and asked me to sit down.
We didn't speak for a while, thinking to ourselves. I really don't know what to say.
"You know I thought Charles will be furious at me" she started
I looked at her signaling to continue
"I know he loves me but he warned me about not to get involve with his friends"
"Friends?" I asked
"Yeah. Brandon. I love him. I really don't know if he does but now here I'm thinking that I'm pregnant" she sobbed. Brandon? As in the guy I met at the party? I thought.
"Hey. It's totally fine. Your brother might be a little angry but he loves you so much more than that"
"He asked me if I could come and help you out" I continued
"Really?" She asked looking at me with teary eyes
"Yes, he really cares for you. And he will support you in whatever way. He is your brother Sarah, he will always be there for you" I smiled at her rubbing my hands on her shoulder.
"You are different than the rest of girls" she said wiping her tears
"What?" I asked bewildered
"The girls he bring home are mostly stuck up, greedy, slutty and stupid. But you are different" she explained
"Uhh it-its no-not like-e that. We are not-" I said stammering
"I get it. Sorry I said that" she said slapping her head
I gave her a tight lipped smile. So, he brings girls to his place.
"Thank you! I feel much better now" she thanked me grabbing my hands in her
"No problem" I squeezed her hand
"Okay I'm going to take the test" she said grabbing the test from her bed stand and examining it
"Don't worry everything will be fine" I gave her an encouraging smile
"Yeah. Hope so" with that she went inside her bathroom.
I stood up off the bed and walked around while texting Freya that I will be late.
Sarah room is of purple color with a queen sized bed in center. I walked towards the window which have white and purple curtains, sliding them side, letting the moonlight slip inside the room.
The mansion was now lit with lights looking more beautiful.
"Where is she?" Mr. Maxwell walked inside the room
"Taking the test"
"Oh. Is she ok?"
"Yeah"
That's when the bathroom door opened revealing Sarah holding her test in her hand.
I walked towards her placing my hand on her shoulder. Even Mr. Maxwell came and stood next to her
"It's positive" she said quietly
Then Mr. Maxwell hugged her tightly and she sobbed in his arms
"I'm sorry Charles. I should have listened to you" she cried
"Shh shh it's okay" he soothes her
I looked at them and smile. So this is what a sibling love looks like. Sad that I will never be able to get this love and care.
"Olivia thank you. If it wouldn't been you, I don't think I could have done it' she hugged me, taking me by surprise
I didn't say anything just hugged her back.
"You should rest now. And it's late, I should drop Olivia at her apartment" Mr. Maxwell said
"It was nice meeting you. I hope to see you again" Sarah smiled
"Yeah, nice meeting you too" I didn't answer about meeting again because even I don't know if I will come here again.
We closed the door of her room as we headed out.
We walked silently towards the porch area. I glanced at him to see him in deep thought.
"Penny for your thoughts?" I asked him
"Just worried" he replied looking at sky.
"About?"
"Sarah. She is still small, how will she handle all this? Brandon doesn't know about it. And what my parents reaction would be?" he pointed out
"Don't worry. Everything will fall into place" I placed my hands on his shoulder giving it a slight squeeze. I don't know why I did that, but I felt like consoling him
He smiled looking at me.
He looks so beautiful when he smile. The first time I saw him smiling was outside the orphanage. But then I didn't notice that he gets dimple when he smile.
He opened the car door for me and in return I thanked him.
"Sorry, I ruined your day with my problem" he said sliding his fingers through his hair.
"What? No. I'm actually glad that I got to help" I told him
"Thank you again. I'm not really good in such situation. I really care about her but I can't express it" he said, "when I saw you earlier at the pharmacy shop, this idea clicked me and I thought you might like to help. I wouldn't have found anyone better than you to make her understand"
"I'm happy that you considered me as a matured and understanding person" I teased him
"Well technically, I didn't use those words" he joked back
"Hey!" I scowled at him hitting him on his shoulder
He laughed. He actually laughed. And God it sounded so beautiful.
I look at him while he was laughing, throwing his head a little back with his eyes slightly closed.
Could this man get any more attractive?

I pulled on my beige puff jacket as I opened the door. Just as I turn to the door, Elijah is standing right in front of me. "I've missed you so much." He tilted his head towards me, yearning for one of my kisses. I placed my hand against his face and pulled away. "Don't you have to go skiing?"He removed my hand. "And didn't you just see me this morning?" I asked, tilting my head and placing my hands on my hips. He bites his lips and pulls me closer. "I wanted to see you before we leave." He quickly pecked my lips and gripped my bottom. I lightly pushed him off and giggled. ✘✘✘✘✘𝘑𝘢𝘥𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘫𝘢𝘩 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘯.
