10 Sherrys offer (1/2)

Marcel quickly took a shower and unlike that morning, he was not too embarrassed with seeing his body below his waist. After the shower he went back to the bedroom and put on his pajamas before crawling into the bed. It was past 9pm at the time and as he was falling asleep, he vaguely felt Liam crawl into his bed to sleep with him. He personally did not mind it so he did not bother the boy.

The following day he woke up at 9:30am and he only woke up because Liam was persistent with him going for breakfast as the kitchen would stop serving at 10am. Marcel changed out of his pajamas and wore a pair of jeans with a hoodie vest and went to get his breakfast with Liam trailing along behind him.

He took two trays for himself and Liam and took everything that the servers were offering. He brightly smiled at Sara when he saw her and made some small talk before he showed her his younger brother.

Liam was surprised when he saw Marcel easily talked with Saraand on top of that, he kept calling her big sister even though she looked much older than him.

”Liam, this is big sister Sara, you should greet her when you see her okay?” Marcel said cheerfully making the other servers stunned. Sara couldn't help but smile at Liam since he was so adorable.

”Hello Big sister Sara” Liam said with a cute smile that made Sara's heart flutter. She could slightly tolerate it when an 18 year old called her big sis, but a 7 year old was a bit of a stretch.

”Call me auntie” Sara said and proceeded to add more vegetables on the trays that Marcel was holding. Liam nodded obediently and revealed a dimpled smile.

”Big sis, i'll come see you a bit later” Marcel said with a charming smile and left while holding the two trays with Liam trailing behind him.

Sara watched the two retreating figures and without realising it she revealed a warm smile. She had never talked to Marcel before but from the interaction they had the previous night, it showed that he was a very charming person, even though he lived a majority of his life in such a depressing environment.

The pair of 'siblings' went to sit on an empty table and Marcel heartily ate his meal while he made sure Liam ate all his greens. When Marcel was done with breakfast he patiently waited for Liam to finish his food.

”I'll be going out today too, since i'm looking for work” Marcel said as he stroked Liams soft hair.

”Alright” Liam answered.

”Don't isolate yourself and play with your friends, what will you do when I leave?” Marcel said as he pinched his cheeks. Liam solemnly nodded and avoided Marcel's gaze.

”I'm going to freshen up before I leave, go play with your friends” Marcel said easily and left the table to go wash the dishes they used.

Liam watched him leave and couldn't help but think that there was something different with the way Marcel was behaving, but he could not pinpoint what exactly was different.

After Marcel returned the dishes to the kitchen he had a quick chat with Sara before he returned to his room and went to take a shower before he wore a white t-shirt and light blue jeans with a pair of sneakers.

He said goodbye to Liam before he left the orphanage and started to make his way to Paul's studio. By the time he arrived it was already noon.

When he entered the photo studio it was as quiet as it was the previous day. He went to the front desk and surprised Milly all over again, As expected she was not too happy about being disturbed but she could not vent on the handsome Marcel that was happily smiling at her. She rolled her eyes from frustration and took Marcel to Paul's work room.

”Big brother!” Marcel exclaimed when he saw Paul making Paul almost drop his camera lens that he was cleaning.

”Don't do that again” Paul said solemnly after he sighed.

”Mmmh, did you get any calls?” Marcel asked excitedly as he watched Paul meticulously clean the camera lens.
