ORPHANAGE GIRL

Chapter 37

I patted on the side of my bed as I rubbed my sleepy eyes. The bed was empty, I groggily sat on the bed that's when the smell of pancakes filled my nostril.

A smile started playing on my face, I jumped out of bed going straightly to the bathroom to freshen up. After I was done I ran downstairs to see Charles was shirtless just wearing his sweatpants that was hung too low. I gulp at the sight of him, wild thoughts started running on my mind.

"Hey beautiful" he turned around with a pan in his hand.

"Hi" I said softly, he place the pan on the kitchen slab as he came near me. He tuck my fallen strands back to my ear, as he softly caress my cheeks. I tip toe to reach at his level sliding my hands on his shoulder, I move my face closer to him. He softly brought his lips on mine and kissing gently.

"Mhmm" he pulled apart, "breakfast first" he gave a small peck on my lips then went back to kitchen.

"Wow you can cook too" I said loudly enough for him to hear as I take a seat , clasping my hands together I watch him preparing the plates.

"Good morning lovebirds" the door burst open scaring me, as Aaron and Freya came in.

"Freya you need to stop doing that" I scolded her

"Yeah yeah" she sat next to me when Aaron went towards Charles having a bro hug.

"So?" She started

"So what?" I looked at her

"Did you-"

"Shut up fre" I glared at her but my cheeks started turning red

"You did it" she shouted making my eyes wide

"She did what?" Aaron asked her, Charles too looking at us.

"Nothing, nothing. I see you brought breakfast" I changed the topic, but the look on Freya's face didn't disappear.

"Details" she started again

"Not now" I shushed her

"Btw happy birthday Charles" Freya said, to which he replied with a thank you with a smile.

After we ate our breakfast, Charles and Aaron left. He said he would pick me up at 7.

I am so nervous about meeting his family today. I have met Sarah before and I know Charles is close to his mom. I'm more nervous about meeting his dad. I have heard so much about him, about his powerful persona. Though not heard a single thing about him from Charles.

"Hey" Freya snapped her fingers in front of my eyes.

"Sorry" I shake my head, now paying my attention on her.

"Now tell me all about it" she grin wiggling her eyebrows

"Okay" I smiled

****************

It was 5 in evening when I went to get shower. I asked Freya to do my makeup as I can't trust my talent today.

I decided to wear a black sparkly spaghetti straps short dress with a matching heels.

"Where did you get that dress?" Freya exclaimed

"I bought it few months ago but never wore it" I said sliding my hands on the fabric of the dress.

She made me sit on the vanity chair, grabbing a curling iron she started with my hair. She then did my makeup keeping it basic. I asked her to apply red lipstick and a little blush on my cheeks.

"You don't even need fake eyelashes" she groaned as she applied mascara on my lashes. I just laughed at her.

"Done" she announced once she was done with makeup
