I opened my eyes softly, the sun peeking through the window, curtains waving from the slow wind and birds are chirping. I smiled rubbing my eyes and sat up on the bed leaning a little on the headboard, clutching a pillow placing it on my lap.

It's been a while since I last enjoy this wonderful morning. With all work stuffs, studies, orphanage and yes of course Mr. Maxwell, I never got time for myself. The day I met him, my life took a different turn, a turn that I have never taken before.

This new feelings, emotions are so overwhelming sometimes. It's like my whole mood depends upon him and yet I still don't know if he feels the same. Obviously he doesn't, look at him, he have everything and look at me, an average girl. There will be hundreds and thousands of girls like me, falling on his foot.

Ugh! Seriously Olivia, you have mastered in ruining your mood yourself. Why do you always have to think about him and compare yourself? I scolded myself

Huffing at my stupidity, I climbed down of the bed and went to take a shower. I also grabbed my phone on my way to the bathroom.

I opened my playlist and searched for song that would lift my mood up, then my eyes fell upon a song that I used to love as a kid, "what makes you beautiful" by 1D. As a kid I used to dance all around singing this song. Acting as if I am in a concert surrounded by crowds and they are singing along with me. I miss being a kid.

Click on the play button, the song started. I switch the shower on, grabbing a bottle of shampoo and apply some on my hair.

"Everyone else in the room can see it,

Everyone else, but you, ooh

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell

You don't know, oh-oh

You don't know you're beautiful"

I danced around, singing on top of my lungs, laughing when I nearly tripped. When the song was over a next song started to play, "Be kind" by Halsey. Ohh I love this song.

I danced and sing along for a while. As I done with the shower, I dried myself off with the towel, wrapping one around my hair and the other on my body. I grabbed my phone and walked inside my room.

I had this smile, while I was getting ready and a thought kept coming in my mind is that, your mood, your reaction all depends upon you. It's you who can ruin your mood yourself and it's only you who can lift your mood yourself, because you have that power and don't let other people have that power on you.

"Freyaa, you coming down or should I eat all the breakfast?" I shouted from downstairs so she could hear me.

"Yes yes coming" she rushed downstairs while pulling her hair back in a ponytail.

"Always late" I mummer

"I heard that"

I stick my tongue out at her then passing the plate to her and grabbing mine from the kitchen.

"I will be home by 6. I have to come by myself or will we go together?" She asked digging into her waffles and stuffing them into her mouth

"I too have to get ready so I will be here, plus it's my day off. And I don't have to go to orphanage right now, I think I will study"

"Oh yeah, your exams are near" she looked at me when she was done with her breakfast.

"I know. I haven't studied for long and what if I fail" I said worried

"Chill, I know you will ace it" she smile confidently at me.

I smiled back.

"Okay now I have to go, I'm getting late. Bye byeee pumpkin" she gave me a quick side hug and also took a waffle from my plate then run out of the door.

I laughed at her, she is such a kid sometimes. I mean all the time

Grabbing all the dirty dishes to the sink and cleaning it. Drying my hands, I closed the front door then went to my room. I placed the laptop and all my books on my bed, ready to study.

Login into University website, I clicked on my stream and started watching the lectures and occasionally jolting down some notes.

While I was engrossed in studying, the doorbell rang. Placing my laptop aside, I look at my phone to see time, I was studying for 3 hours. Jumping out of my bed I headed towards the front door wondering who it must be.

I opened the door half, peeking my head a little and I was shocked to see the person standing.

"Brandon" i said confused.

"Hi, Olivia" he smiled

When I didn't replied, my face shows all the confusion, he chuckled.

"I know it's a little unexpected-"

"Little?" I cut in

"Very" he laughed looking amused

I just nodded waiting for him to continue

"Will you let me in or I have to explain myself while standing here the whole time" he asked arching his brows up.

"Uh- I um. You-u"

"C'mon Olivia I won't murder you " he said sarcastically.

Rolling my eyes at him, i opened the door for him. He might be a flirty guy, but he's not a bad guy.

"Hmm, nice house" he looked around stuffing his hands inside his pocket.

"Why are you here?" I asked him annoyed

"He was right. You're different" he looked at me

"What" I asked him not knowing what he just said.

"Nothing"

"You know what Brandon, if you're here just to annoy me than please leave, I have to study" I huffed at him in annoyance

He remained quiet for a while, then his expression changed into a serious one.

"I wanted to talk about something" he said looking towards the wall.

"Okay?" It sounded more like a question

"I guess you have met Sarah" he didn't asked, it was a statement

"Yes"

"And she must have told you about me"

"Yes"

He didn't say anything after that.

"What happened, Brandon?" I asked walking closer to him

"You know it's a bad idea. I shouldn't have come here. I'm sorry to disturb you" he started walking out

"Wait" I run after him grabbing his hand

He looked down at my hand and then at me, I immediately retreated my hand back.

"You must be here for a reason. And if you came to me with your problem, that means you trust me" I try explaining him. I'm a curious person, I can't let go of things without knowing the whole story

He looked at me, not speaking anything.

I furrowed my eyes, questioningly

"I can't talk about this to Charles, not Sarah" he finally speaks

"And you're the only person who knows about this" he continues, "she is the only girl, I have felt something for"

I smiled when I heard him say that, I remember Sarah mentioned that she is not sure if Brandon feels the same but now he confessed.

"Than what's the problem?" I asked him

"I'm scared"

I creased my brows in confusion, "scared, of what?"

"I am scared because I am not ready for such big thing, big responsibility. I am still trying to figure my life out, what if I mess up, what if I end up ruining it more" he said softly

"Hey hey. Don't stress yourself that much" I made him sit on chair and taking the other one for me.

Continuing I said, "You like Sarah th-"

"I love her" he said

I looked at him, he is so worried. Sighing deeply, I placed my hands on his shoulder, squeezing it

"You love her, and she loves you. I know love it not enough to make things work but it support when your partner falls down. She's going through this alone, imagine what must she be going through. All she needs right now is, you by her side. That's all she asks for. She was so scared to tell you, she thought she might lose you. Brandon, no girl will love you the way she does, I have seen it. And it's not like baby is coming out tomorrow. You both have 9 months, plans things out together. I will help you, and I think Mr Maxwell will too. But right the only thing you both need is love and support for each other. Go to her, tell you love her so much and that you will be there for her and won't let her go alone with this pain" I took a deep breath when I was done speaking.

Brandon was now looking at me with so many emotions in his eyes that was really hard to describe.

"You're awesome you know that" he speaks after a long pause

I just flipped my hair, making him laugh.

"Thankyou, thankyou so much Olivia. You really said all those things that I wanted to hear" he came forward, opening his arms about to hug me but then he stopped

"May I?"

I laughed remembering why he asked, than hugged him.

"Do you want something, coffee?" I asked when I pulled back

"No, just water" he replied just his phone started to ring

I nodded and went to kitchen, I heard him speaking distinctly,

"Yeah brother"

"Running errands"

"Hey Brandon, I made waffle. Would you like to have some?" I asked him loudly so that he can hear me.

He just shook his head and went back to talking.

Walking out of the kitchen I handed him a glass of water. He ended the call and took the glass from my hand.

"It was Charles, asking me if I could come to that orphanage event" he said while sipping his water

I nodded at him, but my eyes widened when I realized something.

Ohh God I hope he didn't not hear my voice.
