Chapter 13

  Want-have a desire to possess something. That is what's wrong with me. I wanted this. I wanted Henrique. I wanted Alexander.

   I wanted to be happy. Being in this big house with my nephew and his brother made me happy and I didn't want the feeling to end. I don't want to go back to my old life; to a job that made me miserable. I want to be happy.

   I started at the cream ceiling and let my thoughts wander. What will I do when he finds my sister? I'll have to go back to my sad boring life and I don't want to, not even for a second.

  A knock on my door brought me out of my daydreaming. I turn to look in direction of the door, "Come in," It must be Maria, the temporary housekeeper. She is a sweet Mexican immigrant with two teen girls. Her husband left her in Mexico with her daughters and never came back. She was able to get a working visa then worked her way up to permanent resident.

  The door opened showing the tall frame of Alexander which made my eyes widen. I jumped up in a sitting position. He was in his famous suit and tie, looking handsome, as always.

   "You don't have to look so shocked." He stated.

   "But I am. I thought it was Maria." I didn't expect him back home so soon. It was only around 2'o clock.

  He shrugs, "Well It's me. I have something for you." he walked closer in the door pushing the blue gift bag in my direction. While taking from his face he continued, "I took it from the company, one of ours. I thought you might need a better one considering the one you have is a bit old."

   I frown at his words not understanding what the hell he was talking about. I opened the bag and saw the phone box. I look up at him, "I can't take this. I already have a phone."

  He shakes his head, "No. You have a blackberry. People don't use that anymore." I frown at his words, not everyone is rich like you, Alexander. We can't all afford, Samsung, iPhone or Icare.

  "I use it."

    He shakes his head, "I'm giving you this new one. It has 20gbs and I placed a 64gb SD card in there. You can do a lot of things with that type of memory and music is already paid for. I also placed my number on speed dial in case of emergency."

   I sigh giving in. I took out the phone box out of the bag and started opening the box. The place the big phone in my hands and admire it. "Thanks. I really appreciate this." In the gift bag and spot a purple phone case, I loved it immediately.

  Okay, so maybe being rich did have its use.

"You're welcome." I looked up and him and smile.

  "Not a problem." He turns to walk away but stop, "One more thing. I'll be hosting an annually fundraising here for the Patrick Carter Memorial Orphanage next week." I guess he's going to tell me not to be seen during that time. "Hmm...So you might want to get a dress and get yourself fixed up." Those words were the last I expected. He was inviting me to his fundraiser. He wanted to me to dress up for it too.

   I smiled at him, "Thanks." But he barely nods at me. Something was up with him, he didn't seem like himself. He looked tired and sad. "Are you okay?"

  He nods, "Yea, just tired. I'm trying to settle a big deal, but the old man is just so damn stubborn." He chuckles a little, "That's why I'm so early too. I need some rest."

 "I'm sorry to hear your having troubles but don't worry about that old stubborn man, just relax." I smile, "And guess what?"

 "What?"
