SHARING A ROOM WITH HIM

"Jason, you're here already." Olivia said, walking towards them. She wasn't expecting him to be at the mansion so soon, she only told him about the driver to let him know about it.

Olivia gave him a light hug and little kiss by the side of his face, smiling at him like a teenager who just found a high school sweetheart. Obviously, a fake smile but she had to make it look real.

"I didn't want to keep the driver waiting." He said as he released himself from her embrace.

"It's fine, have you had breakfast?" Olivia asked as she took her seat beside him.

"Yes." He answered shortly.

"Good." Henry said, making his way towards the trio.

"Good morning, Mr. Smith." Jason greeted as he stood up.

"To you too." Henry replied shortly.

"Why are his things still here?" Henry asked, directing his question to Evelyn.

"Amira, please, take his things to the room we prepared upstairs." Evelyn instructed as a worker rushed to take Jason's belongings.

"Why take it to a different room, let her take it to Olivia's room." Henry suggested or rather, he instructed.

The only statement she heard her father say was "Take it to Olivia's room" which made her still for a moment before speaking.

"My room!!" Olivia said a little louder.

"Yes, your room." Henry said calmly.

"Is there a problem?" He added.

"No, it's just that . . ." Olivia could not finish what she was about to say, Henry interrupted.

"Just that what, are you not comfortable with the idea of sharing a room with him?" He asked, cutting her off.

"No, we can share my room, it's okay. Right, Jason?" She said, smiling at Jason, waiting for his answer.

"Sure, I think it's a good idea." Jason replied, staring at Henry.

Henry had finally found what he was looking for, Olivia's reaction to his suggestion. He knew Jason would probably not react to what he was going to say but Olivia did and that action alone, caused him to doubt their relationship a lot more.

"Okay then, Olivia will help you settle in." Henry added, walking towards Evelyn.

"I have to go now, there are some important things I have to attend to at the company. Take care." He said to Evelyn, giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

"yes, I will." Evelyn spoke after being quiet for a while.

"And you too." He said, referring to Olivia.

"Sure, dad." She said shortly.

"Make yourself at home, you are our guest after all." He said to Jason and then he made his way out of the mansion.

. . .

Few minutes after Henry was gone, Olivia led Jason to her room, even if she didn't like the idea of sharing her room with him. There was nothing she could do, it would only be for a short period of time anyway – she said to herself. She entered the room first after opening the door and held onto the knob.

"Come in." She said, holding out the door for him.

"Mmm…" He made a short sound as he walked into her room.

Jason was surprised by the interior of her room, he never expected her room to look like that. It was so different from how girls usually had their rooms decorated. He was expecting to see maybe a pink or at least a bright coloured sheet on her bed but it was the opposite, her bed was covered with the darkest shade of blue sheets and fluffy pillows. Half of the room wall was painted in white while the other half was painted with things that looked like drawings, sketches and other things he didn't understand at all.

That end of the room looked like an art museum while the other looked like a normal room, not girly anyway. It was interesting how she maintained two different appearances in a room. Jason stood at the doorstep, scanning the entire room with his eyes and picking every little detail of the room.

"Are you just going to stand there or what?" Olivia's voice echoed In his ears as he returned his attention to her.

"Nice room." He commented as Olivia closed the door behind him.

" . . ." She raised one of her eyebrows, giving him a questioning look.

"It's a compliment this time around." He said, moving to his belongings that were not too far away from him.

"Thanks." She said with a tiny smile on her pretty face.

"Ahmm… you can start unpacking your things, I will prepare a space for you to keep them." She added, making her way to another door inside the room.

 Jason started to take out the few things he brought with him, things he felt were necessary to bring along. After unpacking, he sat down on the edge of her bed, patiently waiting for her to come out from the room she entered earlier but she didn't show up. He waited for a few more minutes before deciding to check up on her and whatever she was doing.

The door wasn't closed entirely so could see through it, he pushed the door a little to have a better view and his eyes widened at the sight of the room. Was she running a boutique or what, why were there so much clothings and other accessories in one room, don't tell me this is her closet – Jason asked within himself.

Olivia caught sight of his astonished face and it caused her to laugh secretly, she never got tired of seeing people's faces whenever they came across this room she called a closet.

"Just give me two minutes, it's a bit difficult to create enough space for you." She said, moving some of her dresses away from a particular area.

"Sure." He said, returning back to the spot he left on her bed with his usual look on his face.

After about three minutes, Olivia stepped out of the room, brushing her hair to the back with her fingers as she walked towards Jason.

"You can arrange your things in there and if it's still not enough, just tell me." She informed him after falling flat on her bed, taking a deep, relaxing breath.

"Okay." He replied as he stood from the bed, making his way towards the room with his belongings in each hand.

While Jason was arranging his things, Olivia was busy jotting some things down on a sheet of paper. She was writing down the rules they would have to follow now that they were going to share a room and also the rule concerning their fake marriage. She had to make things clear between them.
