ORPHANAGE GIRL

Chapter 24

After realization, I looked away staring at sky filled with thousands of star.

Turning my eyes towards Mr Maxwell , he was in a deep thought. He must have felt my gaze that he turn his neck to look at me.

Not sure what to say, I just smiled at him.

I don't know what came over me, I shifted closer to him resting my head on his shoulder. I felt him tense under my touch but soon after he placed his arms around me pulling me closer.

No one spoke, the silence was comfortable. Both of us gazing at star and enjoying each other's company.

Suddenly my phone started to ring, it was Freya.

"Hello best friend. How is your date going?" She asked as soon as I answered the call

"Uhh good?" It sounded more like a question. I was nervous to talk about Mr Maxwell around him

"Oh I got it. Tell me everything when you reach home" she said excitedly

"Yeah now bye" I ended the call. Turning my attention back to Mr Maxwell.

"What date is today?" I asked him

"22nd Nov, why?" He asked back while slowing rubbing his hands on my shoulder

"Actually, Shawn Mendes: In wonder documentary is coming on Netflix tomorrow" I said loving the warmth of his body

"You must really like him?" he asked, gazing at me

"vey much" I quickly said

"Oh"

"Yeah" and again we fell in silence.

"C'mon it's getting late" he said after a while standing up.

"Okay" I took his hand and stood up gathering all the litters, making a mental note to throw them in garbage container.

Settling ourselves inside the car, buckling up the seatbelt, Mr Maxwell drove off towards my apartment.

I looked outside the window, thinking that how beautiful the night turned out to be.

But one thought kept coming in my mind, he didn't say or express his feelings towards. Was it just a kiss?

Oh Olivia don't go there, you will ruin your best night. My subconscious yelled at me.

"What's going on that pretty little head of yours?" Mr Maxwell asked looking at me with his scrutinizing eyes.

"Nothing" I said fidgeting with my fingers

He eyes shifted towards my fingers and then be slowly he slipped his hand intertwining his fingers with mine tightly.

I tried to hide my goofy smile while looking at our intertwined hands.

Butterflies danced in my stomach every time he draw small circles from his thumb. Slowly looking at him from the corner of my eyes, to see he has a small smile playing on his lips

I can't stop smiling, so I looked away shifting my eyes towards the tall buildings we are passing by.

He stopped the car when we reached my place. My smile faded when I realized the moment is about end.

Mr Maxwell opened the door for me, thanking him I hop out of the car. We started to walk towards the elevator. We were the only one inside the elevator, I was more nervous now, yes we were alone in car too but alone in elevator is veryyy different thing.

"I-" before Mr Maxwell can speak the elevator door dings.

I heard him cursing under his breath, motioning his hand forward asking me to walk first.
