Better investment.

“Orion!”

Orion smiles and embraces her as she jumps into his arms.

“Happy birthday, Summer.” He grins, offering her the present.

Brunette hair, pale gray eyes, tanned skin, 6’2, rich, athletic, bright, smart and absolutely gorgeous, Orion Windward, son of Congressman Windward and fashion icon, Amara Beily is the most perfect man a person could be. Popularly known for his bright academic performance and infamous paintings, Orion Windward is even more than a perfect man, he has the potential to be the most expensive and well-crafted craftsmanship of god. I don’t expect much from sixteen year olds, especially to be this grown, I don’t date minors either but something, somehow attracts me to him head to toe.

I keep my gaze locked away and try to look as occupied as possible dealing with a perfectly fine remote portraying a disabled, outworn remote. Just then, from the back,

“Good morning, Cyrus.”

A deep yet a beautiful and charming voice speaks my name and the butterflies in my stomach spring free from their cage. Ohh god, even his voice drives me crazy. It takes me a couple of seconds to grab all those butterflies and shove them in before turning around and greeting him back with the most sincerest of smiles I could afford him right now.

“Good morning, Orion. I’m glad you came.”

“No worries,” he grins, a grin that doesn’t reach his eyes, “its Summer’s birthday afterall.”

I nod, trying to look as nonchalant as possible. Right, Summer’s birthday. My eyes momentarily flicker down to Summer and his’ arms looped around each other and I can guarantee he could notice my absolute momentary frown. Summer probably hasn’t, she has been examining the pair of probably-pure-gold-‘cause-he-can-afford earrings and a Luois Vuitton paperbag on her other hand.

“Alright, so, settle in, Elsie’s probably done with making our breakfast.”

I smile and look at Elsie who forces out a mocking smile and turns her attention back to icing the birthday cake. Orion gives me an appreciative smile back and I take it as a good sign, he probably doesn’t care.

Both of them shuffle to the couch and dad approaches them with a tender smile, something be rarely uses with me. I sigh and walk upto my room and close the door behind. I look at the clock and damn, its only been an hour since I awoke. 8:30 am. Such a long morning, the day’s gonna be even longer.

...Bonus Scene...

...Orion’s POV...

“Orion!”

Summer ambles to me. My girlfriend of two months and probably the most handful of girlfriends’ I’ve had in a while, yet the most adorable one’s I’ve ever had. Fair skin, sunshine, freckles, 5’3 and an absolutely burst of energy. Loving and cheerful and a great experience. Yeah, a great experience. I don’t plan to be with her for more than six months, too much energy consumption. Besides, the only thing I’ve had my eyes on for the last couple of weeks is way better, calmer, cuter, more chaotic, smarter and to be honest prettier.

I hope this investment of mine is worth it.
