"Mr Maxwell" I said back
I looked at Freya giving her a suspicious look. She shrug but the look on her face tells me otherwise
"Oh wait this is the Olivia you were talking about?" Aaron asked looking at his friend but his voice was not at all sounded surprise
He talks about me with his friends. Does that make me feel happy? Hell yes.
"Enough of talking. Let's order something" Freya said sensing my reaction as both Aaron and Mr Maxwell took their seat.
Mr Maxwell slide next to me, my body shiver at his presence but I stay still not wanting him to know.
"Nice to meet you again, Olivia" he smiled
Nice to meet you? Seriously? Where were you for past 2 weeks? Huh? I wanted to ask him but didn't
"Same here" I didn't reply to his smiled instead I started looking at the menu
"How are you?" He asked
"Huh?" I heard him but I just wanted to pretend that I didn't hear
"I asked how are you?" he asked again putting pressure in every word
"Oh. I'm good" then again I looked back the menu
"Ow" freya kicked me on my foot under the table
Everyone's eyes were on me, confused
"Sorry" I looked down in embarrassment
I glared at Freya while she signal me to talk to Mr Maxwell through her eyes.
I shake my head no, earning a glare from her.
"How are you?" I finally looked at him
"Been well" he eyes on me
"Mhmm"
I sat there fidgeting with my hands, not knowing what to say next.
"So for how long you both know each other?" Freya broke the silence as she looked at Aaron and Mr. Maxwell
"Since diapers" Aaron replied smiling at his friend
"Me, Brandon and Aaron have been to same school & college. We have been together since we were born" Mr Maxwell explained
"And you both?" Mr Maxwell asked sipping his water
"We have known each other for 4 years" Freya tells
The guys nodded just then the waiter came to take our orders.
Scribbling our orders in his note book, he left
When we all were talking I can occasionally feel Mr Maxwell leg brushing against mine. While in car there is some space between us but right now there is just 2 inches space and every time he looks at me or his leg brush against mine, my breath gets uneven and this weird feeling inside my chest starts to emerge
When the food arrived, we all started to dig on our food, casually having small talks. Aaron has his arms draped around Freya pulling her close, talking about something
While I was peeking at Mr Maxwell through my eyelashes.
As I took a bite of pasta from my plate, I felt like gagging it out. It tastes horrible. Not wanting to taste it again, I put down my spoon, leaning my back.
Mr Maxwell looked up eyes me questioningly
"I'm not hungry"
He eyed me for few seconds then turned back to his food.
