Prepare for school

Olivia's POV

I got downstairs and met Eric already in the dinning table taking a cup of tea.

He met eyes with me and flashed me a big smile that brought flutters to my heart.

I walked over to the dinning table, pulled out the seat opposite him and sat on it.

''How are you feeling.'' he asked, 

''I'm fine.'' I replied with a Big smile.

He smiled back at me and went back to his food, I stared at the food on the table and wondered if the food was Only meant for us.

''Are your men joining us.'' I asked while staring at the table.

''No, why do you ask.'' he asked with a small smile on his Face.

''Because the food is much.'' I murmured while looking at the different delicacies kept on the table.

Eric chuckled softly and said,''Just eat.'' and placed a plate in front of me.

I stared at the table one more time before picking up a plate and placed it in front of me.

I put a little potion of food in my plate and slowly eat, making sure I avoided his gaze.

We ate in silence until we were both through.

''Follow me, I have something to give you.'' 

''What's that.'' I asked, 

''Come with me, it's nothing serious.'' he smiled and stood up from his seat.

I stood up from my seat and followed him behind while we climbed upstairs to his room.

''Come in.'' he opened the door and stood beside the door for me to go in first.

I swallowed nervously, stared at him for a while before entering his room.

I always love the scent and atmosphere in his room, it felt his room was somewhere different from the house.

His big bed in the center of the room was properly arranged, everything was at the right place, no sight of dirt could be seen.

''Sit.'' he directed the couch to me and made me sit.

I sat on the couch and kept staring around.

''Here, have it.'' He gave a box to me.

''What this.'' I asked as I took the box from him and took a proper look at it.

''It's a phone, I might not be close to you always starting from next week, I will have to go back to the office, so I need you to have a phone, so you can call me whenever you want. And that's a laptop, it's yours.''he said those words and pointed at a brand-new apple laptop on his desk.

''What do I need that for.'' I asked, 

''School, you will need it in school.'' He replied.

I frowned and looked away.

''I told you I don't want to be a burden to you.'' I grumbled.

He took a few steps towards me, squatted before me and cupped my face.

''You can never be a burden to me.'' he expressed those words like he meant every bit of it.

''But.'' he did not let me finish.

''No but.'' he stated those words firmly, kissed my cheeks and stood up.

''You have to start preparing for your exams, there will be an exam in the next one month, I'll get you a private tutor by next week, so you can start immediately.''he said those words and sat on the bed with his arms folded.

I stared at him and didn't know what do say, his suggestion was good, but I don't want to be dependent on him since I can't remember a thing, I don't even know why I ran away from him in the first place.

''I need to see aunt.'' I requested 

''Today.'' he asked

''No, Maybe tomorrow.''

''Alright, I'll go with you.'' 

I smiled at him before looking away.

We sat in awkward silence before I spoke up, 

''Your family, do they stay around.'' I asked

''Yes, dad is few meters away but aunt and my little cousin is in France, but they will be back in a weak time.'' he replied.

Hearing those Words from him, I noticed he did not make mention of siblings or his mother, and I was curious.
