ORPHANAGE GIRL

Chapter 18

Charles (POV)

"Joey, get me another cup of my coffee" I ordered him in a stern voice.

Right now I'm in my office, and my head is pounding so bad. I can't stop thinking about her, it's so fucking difficult.

I was so angry at her the other day for being so close to that guy in cafe. Is he her boyfriend? Fuck, what if she is with someone else? No no, she can't.

My thoughts were interrupted with a knock,

"Come in"

"Sir, your coffee"

I nodded at Joey and dismissed him.

Today is the event and I would see her again. Yesterday I didn't really had any work at orphanage but I knew she would be there, i wanted to see her. I have been this way since the day I saw her consoling Sarah. She didn't even know my sister but the way she handled things and the gentleness in her voice. And now I can't even go a day without seeing her . I tried explaining myself, stop all this, you will get hurt again. Learn from past. I even punched on wall, but at the end I drove to orphanage.

Just I reached, I straightly went inside the hallway, searching for her. And there she was, on a ladder trying to hang the hoarding. That's when my eyes feel on her dress that was stuck between her right leg, I rushed towards her knowing that she was about to fall.

"Shit" she shrieked

She falls on my arms, I wrapped my arms tightly securing her. I looked at her, her still closed, she looked afraid. Slowly she opened that beautiful green eyes meeting with mine, oh how much I wish the time to stop right now. She fits perfectly in my arms.

Her eyes crunched in confusion, and then realized she has been in my arms for too long, she cleared her throat getting my attention. I blinked my eyes, then placed her down on the floor carefully.

"I uh. Um thank-k you" she shuttered

Walk away, walk away. You just wanted to see her, now walk away. You have done enough damage to you heart. Remember what happened 5 years-

Before my subconscious mind can speak my further, I turned around and started to walk away.

"Wait, Mr Maxwell" Olivia run towards me.

I turned around smiling, facing her but I saw Brandon coming behind her, and the next thing he did, made my blood boil and I just wanted to punch him.

He freaking put his arms around her shoulder. How dare he? friend or not, I don't care

"Hey party girl" he speaks smiling at her.

"Hi" she even replied to him.

"We meet again" he squeezed her a little. Put your hand down Brandon or it will be my fist and your face, how badly I wanted to say that.

"Um" Olivia took at step aside, that made his hand fall off her shoulder, That's my girl.

What, your girl??? My brain interjected.

"Watcha doing her-" Brandon speaks again but I stomped out not wanting to create a scene.

I clenched my fit so tightly that my knuckles turned white.

"Brother" Brandon came running towards me.

He bent down placing his hands on knees, breathing heavily.

"What are you doing here Brandon?" I asked him, trying to sound normal.

He straighten his back, pulling his long hair back.
