78 A different kind of happiness (1/2)

Alex, Abigail and Little Betty were all sitting in Alex's car, with Abi in the passenger seat and Little Betty in the back seat, as they headed towards the orphanage.

Little Betty had told Abi what happened during breakfast and Abi was glad that the little girl was alright. She felt bad for leaving her alone that morning and promised herself that she wouldn't do that again.

The car ride wasn't as silent as Alex would have liked because little Betty regaled them with this story and that story during the whole trip. Abi was attentive to her but she was also aware that these would be the last moments she would get to spend with Alex before he left.

She kept glancing at the man but she also knew that she couldn't disturb him while driving.

Finally, they arrived at the orphanage. Abi watched Betty enter the gate before she turned and looked at Alex. She was standing by the car's window, looking down at him.

”Take care, Alex,” she said as she reluctantly raised her hand to wave him goodbye.

Alexander smiled seeing her meek actions and he gestured at her to move her face closer.

”Little lamb, what should a good girlfriend do when her boyfriend is about to leave?” he asked softly and Abi blinked.

There was only one answer that appeared in her mind. And thus, the next moment, she landed a soft, sweet kiss on his cheek.

Alex stared at her quietly for a few seconds as soon as she pulled away. He looked like he wanted to say something but he changed his mind.

”Never mind… I'll teach you more about this once I return,” he told her and his eyes became serious. ”Don't do anything stupid while I'm away, okay, little fruit?” he added and without waiting for her response, he accelerated and left.

…

Abi faced her day as usual. She was doing fine and she enjoyed the children's play that morning. However, she couldn't stop thinking about Alex. The thought that she was not going to see him at the end of the day made her feel a little depressed. She already wanted him to come back.

”So? How far did you two go as of now?” Kelly started her interrogation. The two were sitting in their favorite café because Kelly had come to the orphanage a while ago to see her and of course, to chit chat with her about her life with that Mr. Qin guy.

”He kissed me,” she replied, blushing while Kelly's mouth dropped.

”Ohh… he kissed you. Okay, and?”

”And it was so wonderful, Kelly. He gave me a magical first kiss.”

Kelly was confused.

”Wait, Abi… what I'm asking is... You guys already went further than kissing, right?”

Abi blinked at her and just seeing that look made Kelly feel like bumping her head on the table.

”Like?” she even asked and Kelly lost it.

”Like s-sex, Abi!” She blurted out with some frustration and gladly, no one heard her.

Abi's face immediately burned red. Kelly had already subtly warned her about this on the day she decided to live in Alex's house but she couldn't believe that her friend was asking her this.
