《ORPHANAGE GIRL》Chapter 7
Advertisement
It's been a week since I last saw him. It's not that I wanted to see him. It just I thought he would stop by the restaurant.
Right now, I'm standing inside the kitchen, leaning my right elbow on the counter with my hand placed on my cheeks while I'm tapping the pen on the tiles with my other hand.
Today the cafe is less crowded so there was not much work to do.
"I'm tired" Claudia huffed and sat on the kitchen table.
"As compared to other days, we didn't even work half of it" Liam joined us.
"I know. I'm not physically exhausted, I'm mentally tired. I want to go somewhere" she whines making Liam and me laugh.
"We can go to the new club near my house. It's not too far from here. I can even get us entries" Liam informed us.
"Yes yes please. I really want to go there" Claudia exclaimed, "I heard so much about it. And today there's not much work to do in here, we can leave early"
When I didn't speak for a while, they turned to look at me.
"Uhh- I don't know" I told them
"Why not? Last time also you said the same, this time I'm not taking a no for an answer" Claudia said placing her hands on her waist
"You can ask Freya if she wanted to come" Liam suggested.
"Yeah, Lemme call her" I headed out of the kitchen and dialed Freya's number.
"Hello, roomie" she chirped.
"Hie, what are you doing tonight?" I asked her, hoping she would be busy.
"Nothing, I will be free in half and hour" she replied. "Why?"
"Actually, we are getting free from work early today. So Claudia and Liam suggested if we could go to the club that recently opened" I informed her.
"Night Beats?? Yeah sure sure. I was playing to go there someday" she sounded excited. So now even I have to go, I groaned inwardly
"Okay I will be home in 20 mins" I told her and ended the call.
"She agreed" I informed both of them and we decided to meet at the entrance of the club, at 8.
"Wait, I will help you find out what to wear" Freya said pushing me away from my closet.
She rummage through my clothes. Murmuring something in her breathe.
"Why are you standing there, go have a shower and till then I will find something" she waved me off with her hand.

I rolled my eyes at her and went to take a shower.
When I was done, I wrapped a towel around my body and enter my room.
I see, Freya was not there but an emerald green color dress was placed on my bed. I didn't even know I owned that dress.
I wore my undies and then the dress. It reaches just a little above my thigh, it was a short lace V neck dress. The neckline was deep showing a little cleavage but not too much. The fabric felt nice and soft.
"Hot, hot, hot" Freya exclaimed, grabbing my shoulder and examining me from up and down.
"I knew, behind those baggy t-shirt, there were some sexy curves beneath. And those legs" she said wiggling her eyebrows at me.
That's when I noticed her dress, black color with v-neckline having three thin connecting straps. It fitted her body perfectly.
"You look so sexy frey" I told her, looking at her dress.
"Thanks. Okay now let's get done with makeup. It's almost 7:30" she said making me sit down on the chair and pulling out necessary makeup stuffs.
Even though I don't know how to do make up but I totally trust Freya in that department.
After a while of poking and dabbing around, Freya said "all done"
I opened my eyes and gasp when I looked at myself. I look so different. My makeup it light, not too heavy but it was done perfectly. The cheekbones look sharper because of the highlighters and my green eyes stood out so beautifully.
"Thank you Frey, you have done an amazing job" I said hugging her.
"Don't need to thank me, I know how horrible you are in doing makeup" she laughed making me laugh too.
I put my shoes on, it was emerald color pump heels. I took out my purse from the drawer and put my phone, lip balm, some money and the house key.
When I was done, Freya was already ready.
Her makeup was heavier than me but it suited her because she use it often.
"Let's go" she said while wearing her black heels. I grabbed her purse and passed it to her.
We walked out the apartment, while I locked the door behind us.
We reached at the address that Liam gave us, as soon as we stepped out of the car, we saw Liam and Claudia standing right next to the line. I waved my hand at them, which they saw and asked us to come over.

"Wow you both look smoking hot" Liam compliment us.
"Wow Claudia, you look really beautiful" Freya said her while giving her a hug. Freya has always been more outgoing than me. So she is always comfortable around people.
"Let's go inside" Liam said while guiding us inside.
As Liam knew the bouncer, we got insides pretty quickly.
The club was already buzzing with loads of people. Some were drinking and the rest were dancing on some songs.
I must say the place looks really good. It's big compare to the other clubs we have went.
"C'mon let's drink something" Claudia dragged us to the bar area.
"4 tequila" Claudia order the drinks
"No no, you know I don't drink" I told her.
"Just one won't harm you" she argued
"Leave it, if she don't want to drink" Liam came for my rescue.
I smiled at him, and thanked him.
Then we went to the dance floor and a song came up "Take it off" by kesha. We dance and laughed. Freya placed her hands on my shoulder, and doing some sexy moves. I laughed but copied her.
We were dancing for a while when Freya whispered something to my ears "is that Mr. Maxwell?"
I followed her eyes looking up and saw that indeed there was Mr. Maxwell, in some VIP section. I can see him clearly as the place had transparent window. I see him drinking something while talking on phone. Suddenly a girl in a short dress entered, sitting on his lap and kissing his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
I looked away, my heart is beating so fast. It's been a week since I saw him and now when I did, it was in such situation. I excused myself and went to the bar area. I need a drink.
I order a drink for myself and sat on the chair, why is it affecting me so much. It's not like I'm a close friend to him or something. We didn't even talk that much. What do I expect from him? Even though I don't believe all the tabloid news but he was describe as the womanizer.
The bartender placed my drink and I gulped it in one go. The liquid burning down my throat so bad, making me feel like gagging out.
"Whoa! Easy there tiger" a guy came in took the glass from my hand.
I looked at the guy, he was tall having light brown long hair which was pulled back in a bun, but few strands were falling on his sharp face. He is wearing a black leather jacket and rugged black jeans.
"Liked what you see?" The guy asked smirking
"Uh" I clear my throat. Looking at him again then rolling my eyes at him then turning back to the bartender asking for another drink.
"Is this the first time you're drinking?" He asked again
"Why does it matter to you?" I fired back still not looking at him
"It doesn't. I was just wondering" he replied leaning a bit towards the counter.
I looked at him slightly turning my eyes and saw that he is already looking at me.
"What do you want?" I groaned. I'm literally not in a mood for anything. I hope this guy leave me alone.
"Nothing" still smirking
I decided to ignore him and again gulping down the drink.
"Shit, it burns" I said making him laugh.
"Don't drink than" he said casually even though I didn't asked him for his advice. When I didn't replied, he continued
"BTW I'm Brandon" he introduced himself.
Not wanting to be rude, "Olivia" I replied
"So Olivia, what are you doing here all alone?" he asked.
"Why do you talk so much?" I glared at him. My head hurts.
He chuckled softly but didn't replied
"I came with my friends, they are dancing at the dance floor" I said pointing towards them. He just nodded.
He didn't seem like a bad guy that flirt with girls, offering them drink.
We talked for a while, and I felt that he's not a creep. He is a nice guy actually. We laughed, cracked jokes. I don't usually talk to strangers but I think the drink is showing this side of me.
We were laughing when suddenly someone said, "Brandon"
Brandon turned around and I looked at who the person is.
Mr. Maxwell
"Hey, Charles" Brandon stood up and hugged him.
Mr. Maxwell hugged him back but his eyes were focused somewhere else
ON ME.
