Twenty-five

Savy's Pov

“Hey, what's your problem?” I ask Chance.

He look to me and saw the kid still holding my hand.

“Tssk... Don't tell me you are jealous to a kid.” I laughed.

I saw how his face turned red before he look away.

“That's not my perception though, it's his.” I pointed the kid.

The kid laughed.

“I'm correct! He is jealous.” the kid even clap his hands.

“Stop you two, I'm not jealous.”

“He's just a kid Chance, why would you feel jealous.”

He didn't answer and just walk away. I still follow him and keep on teasing him, he's blushing furiously.

“Hey Cohen, let's play.” another little boy showed in front of me snatching Cohen's hand that holds mine and drag Cohen with him.

I shook my head while smiling, Cohen is a sweet and cute kid.

I look back to Chance when I saw him entered a room. I ran to follow him and went in that room too.

“Chance wait!” I shouted. I literally stopped when I saw an old woman sitting on a sofa talking to him. They both look back on me.

I felt embarrassed, I move my hand on my back to hold the door knob to escape when the old woman called me.

“Don't walk away young lady, come here.”

I bit my lower lip, I'm shy godness!

I went on Chance's side. I don't know what to say, so I just look down.

“You two look good together, this girl is cute and kind. I know it just by looking on her appearance and the way she move.”

“I know grandma.” Chance laughed, shitness! he made me feel more embarrassed. I feel my heart beats fast, I'm sure I'm blushing right now.

“How old are you young lady?”

“I'm seventeen years old.” I answered politely and look to her.

“Not that young anymore, you are ready to be in a relationship.”

Chance laughed.

“Not so fast grandma, I'm still planning to court her in a right time.”

I rolled my eyes secretly. I shouldn't followed here, it's awkward to talk on that matter with his grandmother.

“Move fast boy, or else your territory will be reigned by others.” his grandmother said meaningfully.

I know what it means. I stood still beside Chance and listen to their conversation, I can't find an excuse to walk away only I could do is to blush like a red angry bird.

“I won't let that happen, even an ant try to stepped on my territory won't survive.”

Shitness! He has a sweet tongue and a meaningful words. My heart keeps on beating beyond it's normal beat per minute if he's like that. This guy is making me feel peculiar feelings, how could he!

After a few converse with his grandmother, he finally bid goodbyes to her.

As we walk out, I ask him.

“What is the event here?”

“They throw a party when they know I will visit here. I visited here three months ago, I just missed my grandma.”

I nodded twice.“That's why the kids wear costumes and funny make ups.”

He hold my hands suddenly and drag me towards another door, it's a double door. We went in and saw it was a dinning area. It's huge, the table is a 32 sitter. 15 on the right side and 15 on the left side and in the middle is one chair near to where we stand and one in the middle to where the table ends.

The foods is ready, there are some kids already sitting on the chairs and lots of caretakers aged 30's guide the kids. From here I saw the kitchen meters away, there are some people working there I think it's their chefs. I can't clearly see them because it's close, only a little transparent glass window is a way to see what's inside. There's a door but it's made by a wood not the same as the transparent window.

“Why is she here? Is she staying here and living as if it's her home?” I ask.

“Who?”

“Your grandma.”

“Ah.. yeah, she likes kids too. She's the mother of my mom.”

“She's kind, no wonder your mom is kind hearted too.”

He smiled.

“Are you really jealous to that kid?”

“W-What? No, I'm not!”

“You're too defensive.” I laughed.

“Tssk... Let's just eat.”

He drag me towards the table and let me sit, then he sat next to me.

I look on my wrist watch and saw it's already 11: 49. That's why when I look on the dish in the table, my stomach grumbled.

After a minute of eating, we went out from the dining area.

I'm surprised, when I saw the chair is already arranged in front of a mini stage.

Almost all of the kids are seated too. Just in time we sat on the chair at the back, the emcee speaked up.

“Good afternoon everyone! Today is a especial day because we have a very important visitors. Please, let us greet them.”

All the kids stood up and face us, I blushed. All the attention is on Chance and I. The caretaker standing on the side, the emcee and Chance's grandma who is on the front of the stage seated, looked on us. I hate this kind of attention. I'm not comfortable.

“Good afternoon sir Vanth and to your pretty girlfriend.” the kids politely greeted.

Shitness I'm not his girlfriend! I look down, I feel the heat raises on my face, I'm blushing, I know.

Chance stood up and walk in front. I noticed there are lots of teachers walk out from the other door. I didn't notice that there are lots of doors in every corner. It's like this is the living room. It's wide. If you are looking from outside, you can't tell that this orphanage is huge. The upper floor is same size of our dinning room in my house. I didn't expect that this orphanage is wide here under the ground.

“Actually she's not my girlfriend yet.”my attention is drag back to Chance, his now in front just under the stage.

“Oowww..” even the teachers stood beside those caretakers, reacted to what Chance said.

The kids were giggling, and some of the caretakers are blushing and looking at me and Chance. What the f-ck! This guy made me feel more embarrassed, I hate this attention. What is he gonna do?

Even the teachers are smiling. Tssk..

“I wanna ask Savy to be my girlfriend.”Chance said while holding a mic.

His voice echoed in my ears, I bit my lower lip. The h-ck!

“Waahhhh!!!!”

The voices of the teachers and caretakers even the emcee is so loud. The kids are teasing me too. I'm blushing furiously because his words keeps on replaying on my head.

Shitness overload.

When the noise calmed down, there's a little boy came to me and handed me a little white board and a marker. It's the boy earlier who drag Cohen away from me.

I look to where Chance stands and saw him smiling.

I grab the white board and wrote three letters.
