Chapter 4: Oliver

Orion seems nice, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say he was cute as hell too. Maybe having him stay in my room was a bad idea. Eh, it's fine, what's done is done. It is getting close to dinner time though, I’ll go check on Mom to see if it’s ready.

“Orion, I’m just gonna go check on dinner, you’ll be okay here right?”

“Yeah, I’m good”

“Okay,”

I walk downstairs because it's quicker than the elevator when it's just one person. I get downstairs to find Ms. Luna, our maid, in the kitchen rather than my mom.

We get downstairs and I show him to the Dining Hall. We have two dining rooms in the hall. One for normal meals like lunch or dinner and one for large family get-togethers, such as Thanksgiving when our entire extended family comes to our town just to stay at our house. I guide Orion into the small one.

“Hello, Orion,” my mom says.

“Hi Mrs. Moore”

“No, no, you can call me Sue”

“Thank you Sue. Did you make all of this?”

“No, thats all thanks to my lovely helper Ms. Luna”

Luna smiles at Orion and we all sit down to ea
