CLASH OF FATE (THE OBSESSION)

DEALING WITH HIS DAD 2

Orion and Rhesa woke up quite late the following morning
    " I will fix breakfast while you take your bath" Orion said as he woke Rhesa up
    " Hmmm, five more minutes" Rhesa said as she closed her eyes to sleep again
    " When you wake up take your bath and if you're not fast enough there's no chocolate cookies for you" Orion said as he walked out of the room
   " Wait, chocolate cookies!! Am up" Rhesa shouted as she rushed into the bathroom
    "Some times she act like a toddler" Orion thought aloud as he walked in to the kitchen
    Orion quickly made toast bread and scrambled eggs
    He went back into the room and met Rhesa looking at the wardrobe dejected
   " Why is your face like some one who signed a divorce paper" Orion asked playfully as he stood at her back
   " Am looking for a dress to wear and if I don't find one I will think about divorcing you" Rhesa replied as she kept on checking the clothes
   " You should have checked the wardrobe over there" Orion pointed at a wardrobe that was painted purple at the other end of the room
     Rhesa walked to the wardrobe and was surprised. The wardrobe was filled with clothes ladies clothes of different colours ranging from party to formal to causal.
     " When did you prepare all this" Rhesa asked still checking out the clothes
   " I told my secretary to prepare it
It's nothing much" Orion said as he walked in to the bathroom
  Rhesa got dressed in a long blue off shoulder gown that was embedded with small diamonds at the edge and waistline
   Orion came out of the bathroom and was perplexed.
    " Who could have imagined you will look good in anything apart from jeans and tank top" Orion said teasingly
   And Rhesa rolled her eyes at him
Orion smiled suddenly changed into a wicked grin
  " Haven't I told you never to roll your eyes at me" Orion said with a smirk as he moved closer to Rhesa
   " Orion, it's not part of the contract, you can't touch me when we are not in public " Rhesa quickly added as she moved backwards
   " Okay " Orion simply replied and went back to dressing up
   After an hour, Orion is dressed in a black tuxedo and Rhesa in a blue long off shoulder gown with a black heels and black purse.
     Orion started his car and they drove out of the schools compound.
   The security collected our students I.D card before we were allowed to leave.

Rhesa's POV    

On our way, Orion bought me  a box of chocolates cookies and cola
   After an hour of driving and turns we arrived at the big gate the driver opened the door and we entered I saw a large garden and I think there was a fountain in it. Orion turned round the big fountain and we went left the house was as big as our whole school and I think it's more bigger
    Orion stopped the car in front of a huge ancient building I think the house will be more than two hundred years old.
    We were ushered in by an old man I think he's the Buttler.
    " Grandma" Orion Shouted as he hugged an old woman in her late 80' s.
      This can't be his grandmother right the woman look younger than that age I guess
       " And you are" I hear the woman ask in a very commanding tone
    " Rhesa Harrison" I replied with a smile and the woman scoffed
   " Beauty and no brain" she said as she sat down
   " Grandma" Orion shouted at her
" What why are you staring at me like that I just stated my opinion"  she said as she avoided Orion's eyes
    She looks a lot like a child whining because her mother was going out without taking her
     " Rhesa, don't mind grandma she's just been sensitive" Orion said as he sat me down
    " I will just go and greet Elsa " Orion said as he left me and his grandmother
    The silence was getting awkward
" Wow, this picture is really beautiful" I said as I stood up and went to the gigantic portrait of grandma on the wall
   " Oh that's my picture" she replied arrogantly
   " No I don't think so you look more younger than this picture" I said as I smiled at her and I saw her face break into a smile
   " You see when I was young a lot of men use to line up to see my face" grandma boasted as she smiled
   " No wonder, Orion looked that handsome he must have got his handsomeness from you" I said as her went to sit beside her
   " When I was in my twenties I was the most beautiful in my town. Even the boys in my town were afraid of me I was popular and my beauty was no match then" grandma replied with a hearty smile
       " I think the boys must have helped you with cleaning your shoes before" I asked teasingly
     " Of course, Orion's grandpa even though was rich and wealthy he helps me with cleaning my shoes before I accepted to marry him" grandma boasted again
      " Oh my goodness,I don't believe it" I said as I shaked my head repeatedly
   " What you don't believe" grandma said with disbelief
   " Wow, you must have really dealth with the male generation" I said as I looked at her in admiration
   " Yes, and my son's have taken over the job " she said as she looked at me with a knowing smile
    " Sure, I can't deny that I even have to tell Orion to stop smiling because the female generation are hardly surviving" I said as I winked at Grandma and she burst into laughter
    " Tell me what's funny" Orion said as he entered with a cup of milk which he gave to his grandmother
    " Go and play outside we don't need you here" grandma said as she pushed him off and I laughed at him
    " What" Orion whined as he came to sit beside me
   " God, please help the female species" I muttered and both I and grandma bursted into laughter
    And Orion kept looking at both of us in Suprise
   " What's happening here" I heard a voice which stopped my laughter I looked up and I met a set of dark blue eyes staring at me
    " Mr. Maxwell, welcome" I heard Orion's voice and I looked at at him his voice was cold and intimidating
    I shivered at the tension in the air
" Desmond, you should greet our guest" grandma said in a commanding tone
   Mr. Maxwell just kept staring at me with fear written all over me
   " Did I see that right " I thought to my self
    " Josephine" he muttered
" No, sir it's Rhesa " I said as I stood up to shake hands with him
   He cleared his throat and shaked my hands
    " I was carried away for some reason " he said as he gave me a smile I don't really like.
       " The dinning table is set" the Buttler announced
   " Let's talk over lunch" grandma said as she walked towards the left direction
    The dining room was like a conference room with I think close to fifty chairs the glass cups on the table was pure gold likewise the plates I feel like we have gone back in time
    The lunch for today is fried rice and roasted chicken, black pudding with strawberry cream,steak, brownies,fish and chips just to mention the few I know
   Wow they sure know how to flaunt their wealth
   I was still admiring the dinning settings when I heard Mr Maxwell's voice
    " What's your name"
" Rhesa Harrison" I replied with a smile as the waitress dished the food
   " What's your favourite food"
"Rice and roasted chicken with sauce" I replied again
   " Your best snacks"
" Chocolate cookies or cake" I said as I gave him my megawatts smile
   " Your favourite colour"
"Blue" I answered as I begin to get uncomfortable with his questions
   "What's your favourite drink" he asked as his eyes was fixed on me
   "Any chocolate drink" I said as I shrugged
   " Your
" Mr. Maxwell,I think that's enough I bought her home for grandma not for you" Orion cuts in rudely and I placed my hand on his hands to calm him down
    I think his father is used to this treatment as he just smirk before picking up his cutlery to eat
   I was about to start eating when I heard Orion's father voice again
   " You can't marry her you better break up with her now or face the consequences later" Mr. Maxwell said with a air of finality
   My cutlery dropped noisely on the ground as I looked at Orion's face
