The Orphanage

"Sebastian do you want to play twenty questions?" I asked as I went to sit next to him.

"What is that?" He asked lowering the volume of the TV.

"We just ask each other questions basically." I replied."

"What type of questions?"

I mentally did a face-palm. "Serious, random or even dirty."

"Oh. Do I have to answer all the questions?"

"No, not if you don't want to," I replied, he was always so secretive.

"Okay sure."

"Let me start with an easy question, hmmm

Did you play any sports in high school?"

"Yes, I played first-team squash and rugby, but my best friend Mark and I broke the rules, we joined every other sport practise we could sneak into. So, I basically know how to play all sports."

"What do you mean by you broke the rules?"

"Well, you see it was a law at Dolhq that every student was only allowed to participate in two optional sports."

"Wow, that is one strict school!"

"Yes, my professors allowed it without the councils' concern."

"Wait so you even know how to do archery, surfing, sky diving and snowboarding?"

"Yes."

"Are you still best friends with Mark?"

"Yes, we have been friends since a young age, but I have not seen him for 5 years."

"Why?"

"I have been studying."

"Oh. For what?"

"My career choice."

"What career are you going into?"

"An earth walker."

"Does that mean you want to travel the world?"

"Yes, something like that."

"I want to be an astronomer!"

"I know Jane."

"Sorry forgot you are my stalker." I laughed.

"You are interesting research I must say."

"Oh my word! Thank you." I burst out laughing.

"Jane, do you believe in aliens?"

"Honestly?"

"Yes, your honest opinion."

"Hell yeh! I love the idea of aliens. Do you?"

"Yes. How do you imagine they look in appearance?"

"They could have that weird oval shape head with big black eyes and four arms or something like that."

"Is that how you want them to look?" He inquired.

"No, I want them to look like humans, so I can marry one," I replied sitting up straight as Sebastian just laughed at me.

"I lost track of how many questions I've asked you." I laughed.

"You've asked me eight questions, Jane."

"Geez. You aren't supposed to count."

"My apologies ma'am."

"What is your favourite pick up line?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like how you ask a girl for her number?"

"Hi, I'm Sebastian. May I please get your cell phone number? 

-like that."

I burst out laughing then. You know those moments when you laugh so much, you start crying? Yeh, that happened.

"How would you ask a guy for his number?" Sebastian asked.

"I lost my number, could I please have yours?" I smirked.

"Yes, you may even though I do not own a cell phone."

"What am I going to do with you?" I laughed. Geez, I just realized I laugh a lot when I'm around him.

"You're going to kiss me?"

"Well I can't taste my own lips so could you do it for me?"

"Yes, I can." He replied as he moved my hair from my face. He then took my hand and gently placed it on his cheek, staring into my eyes the whole time. 

Talk about intense moments

Sebastian then traced my lips with his finger, watching his movements.

"This is so wrong and against everything, I have been told. I feel something when I'm with you that I've never felt before." He whispered. Is he implying what I think he's implying?

Sebastian then leaned in and gently touched my lips with his. He then deepened the kiss and caught my bottom lip between his. He held my neck and lightly traced my bottom lip with his tongue and softly bit my lip. He then pushed me to lie on the couch and followed. We made out for quite a while.

"Jane I'm going to be gone for a bit," Sebastian mumbled as he pulled away.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To visit my parents." Aww.

"When will you be back?"

"I'm not sure."

"Oh okay," I replied, and he leaned in and kissed me again

***

I can't exactly say I had a great Saturday because I just learnt for the upcoming exams (that are like in a month) and missed Sebastian.

On Sunday I decided to invite Rocksyn over and she arrived at 8 in the morning.

"Rocksyn what do you want to do?" I asked as we sat on my couch looking through magazines.

"I don't know what do you want to do?" She replied.

"Something we haven't tried or done yet."

"Like baking for the town's orphanage?" She joked.

"Yes!" I jumped up.

"What?! I was only joking." She laughed.

"Well, we are going to do that, come now." I pulled her up, grabbed her moms car keys and off we went to St Thomas Home for children.

We bought a candyfloss machine, cookie cutters, cupcake trays and a popcorn machine along with all the ingredients Being the niece of the richest woman in town has its advantages.

"Do you think they'll let us in?" Rocksyn asked as we parked in front of the orphanage.

"Let's go find out." I smiled as we got out of the car.

Ding Dong.

I rang the doorbell and an old-looking woman opened the door. "Sorry, we don't have any money to buy anything from you girls." She smiled apologetically as a little girl ran up to her and hid behind her leg.

"No ma'am my friend, Rocksyn and I wanted to know if we can come to bake with the children today if it's not a problem," I replied.

"Yeah, we have the equipment and ingredients already," Rocksyn added.

The woman stared at us for a bit and then realised we weren't joking. "Yes, yes thank you so much!" The woman laughed, "The children will be so excited, and they don't really have much excitement in their lives." She started crying and pulled us into a hug. 

Woah okay. 

"Dianne take Rocksyn here and go call all the children." The woman said to the little girl behind her.

"Okay, Aunty Anne." The little girl smiled and took Rocksyn's hand.

"I'm Anne; I'm one of the mothers of all these children." The woman laughed.

"It's wonderful to meet you! I'm Jane Randall." I replied.

"You're Lydias niece! Your aunt is a wonderful woman, every month she donates money to the orphanage." I never knew that aww aunt Lydia.

"You and the other mothers are doing a wonderful job for these children."

"Thank you, Jane, it's just been a little hard these past few months because the government has decreased the amount of money they supply for us." Anne looked down then.

"I'll be happy to talk to my aunt for you and Rocksyn and I can start a funds raising project if you don't mind."

"I don't want to be a burden on..."

"Anne, it would be our honour to help the orphanage." I smiled as I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you, Jane." She hugged me then asked, "Do you need help to carry anything?"

"Yeah, if there's a man around but Rocksyn and I can handle it."

"No, no my son will be glad to help you he's just hammering a bed back together, let me just go call him quickly."

"Okay." I smiled and off she went.

I felt sad for the orphanage and cross with the people of the town for not caring about the children. I looked out the window to see if Rocksyns moms car was still there and then waited. I'm very impatient.

"Don't run into the walls now." A deep voice laughed as I looked towards them. A little boy about 5 or 6 was skipping next to a guy holding a plastic toy hammer in his hand. I couldn't see who the guy was because he kept looking down at the little boy and had a black sharks cap on.

"I'm a big boy Taine." The little boy said. Taine?

The guy then looked at me and smiled. Yes, Taine.

"Jane, what are you doing here?" Taine asked.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Do u know her?" The little boy asked him, and Taine nodded his head at him.

"Yay!" The little boy squealed, ran up to me and threw his arms around me.

"Daniel calm down. You are going to scare her." Taine laughed.

"Umm... Hi Daniel. I'm Jane." I told him, and he smiled up at me.

"My name is Daniel, I'm 5 years old and I'm also Taine's brother." He stated proudly.

"Is he a good brother?" I laughed.

"Yes, he even let me help him build a bed! I'm going to be just like him when I'm older." This boy is so cute!

"You'll be even better than I am." Taine smiled and messed up Daniel's hair.

"Hey! It took me an hour to do my hair this morning!" The little boy exclaimed moving to stand behind me.

"What are you doing here?" Taine asked.

"Rocksyn and I wanted to come to bake with the kids. Anne told me to wait here for her son." I stood on my tippy toes to look over his shoulder to see if Anne was coming.

"I'm her son." He laughed, "She told me to tell you she apologizes but she got caught up with the girls."

Annes son is Taine?!

"I, You... Oh." I stuttered. Daniel tugged on my hand, so I looked down at him.

"Are you Taine's girlfriend?" He asked.

"Umm..." I looked over at Taine, but he just looked at me amused. Jerk.

"No," I replied.

"Why not? Don't you like my brother?" Daniel frowned.

"No, no I do." I quickly added.

"I'll get her soon." Taine laughed.

"Good cause I like her." Daniel smiled.

"So, do I Daniel, so do I."

"We should start carrying in," I said.

"Yes, and I'm helping because Taine already said I can," Daniel added.

"You try saying no to that face," Taine whispered to me.

"Let's go!" Daniel shouted and ran through the door.

"I was about to follow him when Taine pulled me back. Wait." He mumbled and lightly pecked me.

"Daniel!" Taine then shouted.

"Sorry I forgot." Daniel stated while running back inside, "Ladies first." He bowed letting me walk first.

I laughed as I walked towards Rocksyn's mom's car.

"Taine, why do we have to let girls walk first?" I heard Daniel whisper to Taine.

"So that we can check out their asses," Taine whispered back. I rolled my eyes at them.

"Does she have a nice a*s?" Daniel whispered.

"Yeah, a really good one," Taine whispered then laughed. Okay, that made me smile.

When we reached the car, Taine handed Daniel a 2.5 kg sugar. "Think you can handle this?" Taine asked him.

"Yeah, thankfully I ate all my spinach just like Popeye does," Daniel stated then walked inside with the sugar.

"Your brother is adorable." I laughed.

"He's not my real brother. He believes he is even though my mom has told him otherwise thousands of times, so I treat him like my brother." Taine shrugged, and he picked up the candyfloss machine and walked inside.

The three of us carried all the items inside and then all the fun began

Rocksyn and I helped the smaller kids, while Daniel, Taine and Anne helped the bigger kids. We gave the other mothers some time to themselves, but Anne insisted on helping us.

Afterwards all the children went to enjoy the goodies in the dining area and Taine and I volunteered to wash dishes.

"I wash, you dry?" I asked as we walked back into the kitchen.

"No, I wash, you dry," Taine replied.

***

"Do you always come here?" I asked Taine as I dried a mixing bowl.

"Not as much as I would like to. I have to stay with my dad during the week but on the weekends I'm always here."

"Oh. Are you close with your dad?"

"Yeah but my parents blame each other for the death of my older brother so we kind of pulled apart after the divorce."

"I'm sorry about your brother."

"I barely knew him." Taine shrugged.

"I understand how it feels to lose a family member."

"Thanks, Jane, come here." I stepped closer to him and he rubbed icing sugar onto my nose!

"Taine!" I yelled.

"Yes, baby?" He laughed so I splashed him with the dishes water.

Pay back.

"I'm so hot you even had to cool me off." Oh my word I laughed at him then.

"Taine please could you and Jane go fetch the extra boxes of bedding in the attic?" Anne asked as she walked into the kitchen. "And fetch a towel while you're at it." She added laughing. 

"Sure mom. Is there anything else who would like me to fetch?" Taine asked.

"No, no that's all." She smiled at her boy.

"Come, Jane," Taine stated as he held out his hand for me to take. I took it and he interlocked our fingers and pulled me along.
