Winning At Life

As the notifications continued to pour in, Izan set his phone aside, his heart full. It had been a perfect day, and he couldn't have wished for more.

"What are you thinking about"a feminine voice said from behind as Izan lay on the couch. Izan smiled a bit before turning to face her.

"Olivia," he said as they both stared at each other. "Well, care to share", Olivia said while sitting beside Izan.

"Nothing grand. Just thinking I'm lucky. To have people around who genuinely care about me.

When Dad left, I thought things were going to be hard to cope with, but Mom and Hori have filled that void and it helps knowing I fill that void for them too"

Olivia looked at Izan, a bit teary-eyed. Izan smiled at her reaction and shook his head. "Cute", he said, causing Olivia to blush a bit more.

"Sometimes it feels like I'm the older one,", Izan said as he ran his hand through Olivia's hair.
