Sweet Scandals

Ch. 40

Play with children fun home. But tired at the same time. But success gives him a happiness that feels different in the heart.

Axelle glanced around. Observing the situation around the orphanage that somehow felt familiar with the place.

Axelle and Irene were sitting on a small bench, under a shady tree.

"You don't have to follow me here. I can go home by myself." Irene's words broke the silence between them.

Axelle reached into his jacket pocket, taking the phone from there. The phone was placed on Irene.

Irene snatched the phone quickly from Axelle's hand with a pouting face.

"I forgot I had a cell phone." Irene was upset because Axelle had just returned her phone.

Axelle smile. "sorry. I forgot to give it back to you."

"Forgotten or intentionally." Irene was shaking her lips.

"Forget. I swear, I forgot."

"Well, let me believe."

"Ooh ... So you don't trust me? Hm?" Axelle was already preparing to tickle Irene's waist. But Irene quickly got up from her seat. Then leave Axelle.

"Irene, where are you going? Don't leave me alone dong." Axelle half yelled. While getting up and following Irene's steps into the orphanage.

"Are you going to go hungry? We'll have lunch with the kids." Irene half-screamed anyway.

"Wait for me." Then take a quick step to catch up with Irene and walk side by side with Irene entering the orphanage.

.

Axelle did not expect, lunch with the orphanage children can be very fun. Even with a simple menu. He felt like he had experienced something similar. But he forgot when he had been through something like that. Part of his childhood has disappeared from his memory since the accident a few years ago.

Before coming to this city, Axelle had previously lived abroad with her parents and brother. For Axelle, I don't know for them, whether all this time they consider it as part of the family. For there was one man in his family who seemed not to want his presence. That's why he lives alone in this town. Struggling from zero to get to the point now that he is enjoying. Success, popularity, sufficient material. However, he still felt something was lacking.

Although Irene was present in her life. Give him a different color, complementing his shortcomings. But something is missing from his life, which is why he returned to this country. He's trying to find her. Even though I don't know if destiny will bring him together.

"We just go home, right?" Axelle asked without taking her eyes off the street in front of her. Axelle focused his concentration on the streets that began to look crowded that afternoon. Although he felt tired, but he could not let Irene go home alone. Until he forced himself to drive a little.

"Can. I want to rest at home. Tomorrow I have to attend the Olive Fashion catalogue launch." Irene replied while busy playing the phone.

"Why not tell me?"

"I just told you, right?"

"Can I come with you."

"Can. It just so happens that Miss Olive also wants you to attend the event."

"Yeah ... Too bad, I'm very busy tomorrow. The shooting is solid."

"Yes already, it's okay. I can go alone."

Ckiiit ...

Suddenly Axelle stopped his car on the edge of a quiet looking street. Axelle braked suddenly to make Irene surprised. His gaze which was originally focused on the screen of his phone, now stared at Axelle sharply.

"Axelle, what's wrong with you?" Irene asked annoyedly mixed with worry. Axelle was holding his head. It was as if something had happened to him.

"Axelle, what's wrong with you?" Irene asked again with a softer tone of voice.

"You're okay, right?" Irene couldn't cover up her anxiety. Worried that something happened to Axelle. Axelle was exhausted, and until this second she had not rested her body properly.

"I'm fine."  While looking at the smile. "I'm just a little dizzy."

"Yes, let's go home. I'll just call Boni? Let him drive."

"no need. It's close."

Without the need to linger again, Axelle was back to run his car at average speed.

.

.

Arriving home, Irene rushed to her room. Put her little bag on the nightstand, then lay on the bed.

Imagining their togetherness in the orphanage, Irene made a smile of her own. He did not expect, although sometimes Axelle looks arrogant, but he is a good man and likes children. Spending the day at the parlor with Axelle and the kids unexpectedly can be so much fun. And today was the first time he saw Axelle that happy.

Cclek

Irene's attention was distracted when the sound of the door squealing opened. Axelle was already standing in the doorway, looking at him softly.

With his leisure Axelle now takes place next to Irene. At the pull of the blanket up to the chest limit, then lay down while his hands were coiled around Irene's waist.

"I want to sleep here with you." Axelle said as she buried her face in the recess of Irene's neck. Her warm breath felt touching the surface of the skin, making Irene's heart beat fast. Rome's fur also bristled. Was-was if Axelle would have done more.

"Axelle, sleep in your room." Irene Pinta.

"Can. But you're coming." Still with closed eyes.

"don't want. You will do something weird again."

Axelle chuckled and increasingly tightened her embrace on Irene's waist.

"Yes, I sleep here. Don't worry, I won't do anything. I'm so tired. I just want to sleep with you. It feels so good to sleep like this."

"Axis ..." Call Irene softly when you hear again Axelle's chatter.

No more word from Axelle. Sudden silence. In an instant, Axelle had fallen asleep. Because his body is too tired.

Irene could do nothing. It was heartless to wake Axelle from her sleep only to ask her to move into her own room. Because of fatigue, and drowsiness that began to attack, Irene closed her eyes. Start your journey in dreamland. He let Axelle fall asleep beside him, hugging him tightly. The night began to crawl.

Somewhere else.

Zaky just got back from his business. He took off his jacket and put it on the couch. Just about to take a seat, he was startled by the sound of the doorbell.

While breathing heavily, he walked towards the door. Fortunately, the apartment unit is equipped with a wireless doorbell complete with a camera. Until he could figure out who the guest was standing at the door.

Zaky again took a heavy breath while looking at his forehead which began to twitch. For uninvited guests. Guests whose arrival will only make it sultry.

Clarissa.

Seen on the screen, the woman was repairing her hair style that did not look messy. Just looking at it makes Zaky sick. But what can be done, the woman is a little pushy by pressing the bell repeatedly. To make it stifling too.

"Hi ..." Sapa Clarissa once the door opens.

But Zaky did not return his greeting. He looked flat Clarissa who now showed her smile as sweet as possible.

"I can go in, right?" Ask Clarissa.

Zaky didn't answer. He chose to take the first step in. Then Clarissa followed behind him.

"Can I sit down?" Without any hesitation, Clarissa immediately took a seat on the long sofa. Next to Zaky who had been sitting on the sofa first.

"Just right away, what did you mean by coming here?" Ask Zaky to the point. Without having to talk anymore. Zaky was like that. I don't like people who like to talk.

"I'm tired of being alone. Honestly, I'm lonely." Clarissa replied without awkwardness.

"Would coming here take away your boredom? Honestly, I'm not comfortable with you." Barge Zaky without caring about Clarissa's feelings.

"I just want to ask you one thing."

"Just go. I don't have much time. I'm so tired."

"Let me enter your agency. I want to start my career from scratch."

"can't. I don't want to trouble myself. Axelle's enough for me."

"Because Axelle's your sister, right?"

"I've taken it like my own sister."

"No. Not like, but ..." Clarissa shifted her seat closer and closer. Then he whispered in Zaky's ear. "Because Axelle is your real sister. That's why you take care of her so much. Because it's an order from your father, right?"

Instantly, Zaky was stunned. Stuck with a straight look.

Where does Clarissa know?
