《ORPHANAGE GIRL》Chapter 22
Advertisement
I had my last exam yesterday and now I have completed my graduation until the results come but Freya is sure that I will pass.
These past 2 weeks have been very difficult for me, studies late and then whenever I close my eyes all things that happened in restaurant come flashing back.
Dark circles have formed under my eyes, I have lost weight as I don't really feel hungry during my exams. Even when I was in orphanage, during exams time I don't feel like to eat anything out of stress.
As my exams are over, Freya was hell bent on going out a party to celebrate but I said refused, I don't really feel like going anywhere. And more over that I haven't seen Mr Maxwell for past 2 weeks. I thought of Googling him to know about his whereabouts but then I don't want to hurt myself anymore. I think it was all in my head. And right now I'm too mentally exhausted, I don't want to make things worse for me. Claudia and Liam called to make sure I was doing okay. They said they will too leave the job but I told them not to do so as I am going to file a complaint against Mr. White
The same day Freya and I went to police station and I told them everything that happened. My hands were shaking the entire process but Freya held my hands calming me.
Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I draped a blanket around me, as I sat on couch switching on the laptop, searching for something to watch, I settled for Game of thrones. I have already watched this series but it's quite interesting that made me watch again.
I really like Jon Snow, his accent and his hair. Freya always liked Rob Stark more.
I was in middle of watching it when my phone started to ring.

"Hello"
"Olivia, please, please, please"
"Freya? What happened" I press the paused button holding my phone tight in concern.
"Promise me you won't say no" she said.
"God, Freya I will kill you. I thought something happened to you. You idiot" I yelled at her for making me worried
"Sorry. But promise me"
"I won't promise you until you tell me the whole thing" I said sounding stern
"Fine then leave I will tell it to someone else. Bye" she knows how curious I get when someone don't tell me the whole thing
"Fine. Promise. Now tell me" I said defeated
"Yahhhhh"
"Now stop dancing around the hospital and tell me"
"You know me so well darling"
I rolled my eyes even though she can't see me
"So I got a call from Aaron and h-"
"The guy you met in orphanage's Annual Event?" I asked cutting her off in middle. She have mentioned about him few times
"Yes. He asked me to go on a date with him-"
"That's amazing Frey you-"
"Would you stop cutting me of? I have not finished speaking" she said frustrate
"Oh okay okay. Go on"
"He is bringing a friend of his"
I know where this conversation is going and I'm not really liking it.
"And I thought maybe you could join me. Double date, yeahhh!!" She sounded excited
"Blind date. Seriously?" I asked already in a mood to deny
"So? It's very ecstatic"
"Oh no no. You go. I will eat popcorn and watch GOT" I refused her again. I haven't been on a single date till now and now she is asking me to go straightly for a blind date. No no no
"Don't be like that Oli, I asked you to go shopping last week you said, no you are not in mood, I asked you to go for party you denied and now when I'm asking you to come at date with me you are denying that too. Why? And please don't give me that shitty reason, Mr Maxwell. I haven't seen him for so long. You can't get stuck, maybe you will find someone better maybe the guy you meet today will be much better than your Mr. Maxwell. Please Olivia come" she said requesting me

She is right I have been sulking around all time. I have said no for many things and I have completely forgotten my social life. It also been 10 days since I stepped outside of my apartment door.
"Fine" I agreed not wanting to upset her more. She has been there always for me and she really like this guy, so I can bear with a blind date for one night.
"Ohhh I love you I love you. I will be home at 5. Okay I have to go now byeee" she ended the call before I can reply.
Shaking my head at her excitement, I resume to watch my Jon Snow.
"Freya I don't feel comfortable in this dress it's too revealing" I said pulling my neckline up which was showing too much of cleavage for my liking
"You look sexy" she said slapping away my hand
My dress was light pink spaghetti straps dress. The fabric was satin which feel very soft on my skin. The neckline hung a little low, giving the sexy yet elegant look, whereas Freya's dress was more shorter than mine and more revealing than me but she nailed the look.
She did my makeup well covering up all the dark circles. I straightened my hair, leaving them open.
Grabbing our overcoat and purse we walked out of the apartment. Freya informed the guys will meet us directly at the restaurant, so we drives there through Freya's car.
Freya stopped the car near the big fancy hotel, it was the only good restaurant which was not owned by Maxwell's. Don't think of him again. I reminded myself.
Climbing out of the car, Freya gave the key to valet and then walking inside the restaurant.
The reservation was already made in the name of Aaron, so Freya went and ask the lady to show us our table.
She escorted us to our table, which was more like a private cabin away from the rest of the people.
"This place is so amazing" Freya gushed as we took our seat opposite to each other as I presume Aaron will sit next to her. To calm my Nerves, I started to look around.
The restaurant was lavishly decorated with beautiful painting hung around the walls, high ceilinged, sleek dim lights while a classic music playing softly, smell of delicious food and sweet flowers giving the exquisite look.
"Here they are" she stood up as Aaron approaches
She hugged him as he gave a soft kiss on her cheeks.
"Where is your friends?" She asked once she pulled away.
"On his way" he explained.
"Aaron this is Olivia my best friend and Olivia this is Aaron" Freya introduced us
"Hi Olivia. Heard so much about you from her" he said shaking my hand
"I hope good thing" I joked
"Yeah, absolutely" he chuckled
We were talking about something, when Aaron eyes shifted behind my back
"Brother, what took you so long?" He asked as he stood up and hugged his friend.
His face is still not visible so I was not able to look at him
"Why are we meeting here? Why not at our usual place?" The man speaks
I know that voice, its.....
I snapped my face towards the man, and I was right. My eyes raising in surprise. He didn't even notice me but suddenly his eyes shifted towards me,
"Olivia"
