I already explained to my mom what was happening and she thankfully understood it was a project and said she would bring over my clothes in the morning
It's after school and I walk over to Robbie in the parking lot "look I don't like this anymore than you but we have to do it so let's just be civil and get it over with" he says and I just say "whatever" we both then get into Robbie's car
Whilst he's driving I ask "are we staying at yours or mine?" I ask and look at him he sighs as I put my seat belt on and then carries on driving
"Didn't you listen to anything? For the next few weeks we'll be staying in a flat the teacher provided to us" he explains clearly annoyed at me
"Look Robbie I'm sorry for cheating on you but at least I'm trying to be civil unlike you" I snap at him and he puts the radio on blocking me out
We drive the rest of the way in silence apart from the radio when we get there I get out of the car and say to Robbie "you can't block me out forever eventually we're going to have to talk"
Robbie then replies with "there's nothing to talk about" and then starts walking into the orphanage, well the next 3 weeks are going to be fun.
I walk in after him, my high heels clicking against the ground, me and Robbie both go to the reception and the guy working there asks for our names "Nicole Anika and Robbie Beaumont" I simply say
"Okay, great follow me please" the receptionist says and me and Robbie make our way to a room filled with kids who look dirty and mistreated I tear up for a second
Robbie looks over over at me and whispers "hey, you okay?" I quickly wipe my eyes and nod at him Robbie looks at me almost confused, wondering what's wrong
The receptionist comes back over holding a little boy with black hair and brown eyes but his clothes were all torn and rugged "This is Max the child who you'll be caring for, for the next few weeks" he explains
Robbie smiles at him before holding out his arms and picking Max up "I was expecting a girl not going to lie but at least we have a CUTE boy"
Robbie rolls his eyes as Max looks over at me, I smile slightly as the receptionist walks us to the exits and then leaves us at the parking lot
"We don't have a baby seat for the car yet so Nicole he's going to have to sit on your lap whilst I drive" Robbie states and I groan but agree
We both get back into the car and Robbie puts our new home address into the gps and then hands Max over to me, I place the small boy on my lap and Robbie starts driving
Max then starts to stand up on my lap and hugs me, him resting on my chest as the child falls asleep, I wrap one arm around him so he doesn't fall "At least somebody likes me" I mumble
"He's the only one then" Robbie mumbles back and I send him a glare when we arrive at our new home I walk in as Robbie unlocks the door and I look around whilst carrying a sleeping child on my hip, the flat wasn't fancy but didn't need tlc it wasn't very stylish and had horrible colour patterns, I quickly go to the kid's room and carefully put Max into the bed and tucking him in before I go back to the living room and see Robbie already sitting on the couch
"There's only two bedrooms, one for Max and one for us I guess" I inform Robbie before walking over and sitting on the couch next to him and he quickly moves away and stands up
"Okay then, you can have the bedroom I'll be fine on the couch" he says folding his arms and looking at me, I sigh and then get up off of the couch and stands in front of him
"Robbie this is stupid, it's apart of the project and what is Max going to think? Let's just be civil" I try to say to justify all of this
"Yeah like you actually care about Max and no thanks I'll be staying on the couch I don't share beds with slags like you" he spits out at me clearly getting very annoyed
I sigh and start walking to the bedroom "Fine, whatever you want to do but I do care what happens to all children in general besides what you think of me I'm not heartless Robbie" I say to him before I go into the bedroom and turn off the light and taking my clothes off I crawl into bed and eventually fall asleep
The next day thankfully was a Saturday so I slept in a bit and woke up when Max climbed into the bed and started slapping my face I woke up carefully slipping out which made Max fall onto the bed
I see a bag labelled your clothes Nicole oh mom must've dropped them off and gave them to Robbie as my mom really liked Robbie she thought we were going to get married one day other than Rye who she saw as a fling

I took a quick shower then slipped on some black shorts and a white sleeveless top before picking Max up from off the bed
I walk into the living room holding Max in my arms "how was the couch" I say as I see Robbie stretching but he was already dressed I start to make Max's and mine and Robbie's food he looks over at me
He stutters "Um y-yeah it was okay, backs a bit sore though" I sigh as I put the food on to the plates and a section plate for Max so it's easier I then put them on the table and put Max in a high chair, one of the few things Robbie's mom saved from the twins being young
"You can always sleep in the bed with me if you decide to stop being whiny" I say to him as I put Max's bib on, Robbie finishes his breakfast fast so he starts to feed Max his cereal and says "no thanks"
I roll my eyes before saying "I have a bit of money put away from makeup stuff I sold so I was thinking of getting Max some new clothes and get him out of those rags" Robbie smiles at the floor
"That's nice of you, are you going out dressed like that though?" He asks and I look down before clearing the dishes up and washing Max's highchair as he made a mess
"Yeah why? Does it looks bad or something?" I question genuinely confused Robbie sighs as he bounces Max on his knee and I finish getting the milk off the high chair
"No it's not that, it's just people will look at you" he says looking me up and down and biting his lip
"It's fine Robbie, I'm used to it" I wink at him teasing him but he takes it the wrong way and tenses up
"Yeah I bet you are, I'll meet you in the car" he says picking Max up and walking out the door "Robbie I" I try to say but he's already gone
