CHAPTER 13

Olivia

As I approached the house, its moderate yet beautiful exterior caught my eye, blending seamlessly with the lush surroundings. The soft color palette and well-maintained garden exuded a sense of tranquility. Anyone could tell Ben was rich. A cobblestone pathway led to the inviting front door, adorned with a quaint wreath.

I was about to knock on the wooden door before it opened almost immediately. I met a female face.

“Hello.” I was forced to say this as a response to my temporary moment of surprise.

“Hi. Olivia?” She asked in a subtle voice that hinted she’d heard about me. It wasn’t like she needed any reply to her question, as she stood on one side of the door to direct me inside the house.

“Thank you,” I muttered, before humbly stepping into the house.

Upon entering, a cozy ambiance enveloped me, embracing me like an old friend. The living room was bathed in natural light, its warm hues casting a soothing glow. Comfortable furniture was arranged thoughtfully, while tasteful artwork adorned the walls, adding a personal touch.

Before I could fully take in the atmosphere, a joyful shout filled the air, and my little friend came bounding towards me. With a smile on his face and gleaming eyes, his excitement was obvious. His tight embrace exuded warmth, a true embodiment of a heartfelt welcome. Michael was such a joy.

“Make yourself at home, please. I’ll be right back.” She addressed me, seeing how Michael was already comfortable with me.

“Okay.”

I sat down on a nearby cushion. The aroma of freshly baked cookies lingered close by. The house celebrated a scent of delectable treats, a testament to the thoughtfulness of my friend.

“I like cookies!” Michael was jumpy. He was so excited to see me.

“I bet you do!” I started emptying my bag. There was no way I’d visit a young boy and not have things for him. “Guess what?” I said.

“What?!” He asked excitedly.

“I said you should guess,” I said. I stopped unpacking.

He pressed his finger between his teeth and raised his eyebrow while he hummed for a few seconds. I smiled and watched him rack his brain to come up with a smooth guess.

“Just guess anything. There’s no failing here.” I chucked.

He giggled. “Really?” he asked.

“Yes.” I laughed.

He tried to snoop in my bag and see what was in it. I covered it and we both laughed.

“Okay, okay!” he said and went into thinking again. It wasn’t a minute when he said, “You’ve brought a gift for my Daddy!”

I laughed and he joined me.

“You’re wrong,” I said and continued laughing. “Do you want me to tell you?”

He was cheerful. He started shouting. “Tell me! Tell me!”

I was pushed to end the suspense. “I brought you candy!” I yelled with joy and a giggling voice.

Michael screamed out of joy. He ran around and was giggling hard. I brought the candy out and handed it to him.

“Here you go!” I gave the bag of candy to Michael.

He collected it with a smile on his face. “Thank you. Olivia.” He said.
