Sealed in a Box chapter 6

Allie reached over her lap, and opened the door for her to get out. It wasn’t that he wanted her leave. In fact he enjoyed her company for the most part. But today she was acting strange, and in some ways it was creeping him out. Was Frankie really breaking down, and was she actually giving up? Even as he sat here beside her, his arm wrapped around her shoulder. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Are you in that much of a hurry, for me to leave?” She laughed, but the two of them both knew it was time for her to leave.

“Of course not.” Allie chuckled, already starting the car back up. “Do you need a ride home?” He asked, once she had stepped completely out of the car.

“No, no it’s fine I’m sure Kelvin can give me a ride back.” She said absently already heading towards the front door. Alex sighed silently in relief.

“Alright call me later!” He yelled, and she waved her hand in response. “Ciao.” He muttered to himself, and drove as fast as he could, until his car was only a little black dot.

Frankie tapped her foot impatiently, as she waited in the foyer for the housekeeper to retrieve Kelvin. She stared around the room, like she was in a museum memorizing every art piece, and plant, as though it were her last time here. Of course it wouldn’t be. She thought to herself, as she continued to look around the room. A picture of Kelvin’s father Barrington Cavendish hung above the large fireplace, that’s inside chimney ran from the downstairs all the way to the upstairs.

He looked menacing in the portrait, just like the way he seemed to always look. Only he looked a lot younger in the portrait than he did now. There were no white hairs growing along his forehead. Or any bags under his eyes from lack of sleep. There was only flawless smooth skin, and thick-cropped brown hair, with two large blue eyes. That seemed to beam down on you, only it was clear that the beaming and shining they were doing was purely by accident.

Barrington was a handsome man and always had been, but he was also a mean man. A man who had once fired his secretary because she couldn’t pronounce the right name of the coffee drink he had asked for. But not only had he fired her, he had made sure that she could never get a job as a secretary job.

Too many he was an over privileged soon of a bitch, with no morals other than the constant need of more money. Which was true but unlike most he was ass enough to admit it. He hated most of the people that he worked with me, and thought that he was higher than the queen herself. But for some reason unknown he had always gotten along with Frankie’s family. Partially do to fact that both Barrington and her father had grown up together, and also due to the fact that both Barrington and Frankie’s father Alton had chased after the same girl Alana. Also known as Mrs. Heart (Frankie’s mother.)

To most having a friendly relationship between both families, would mean that Barrington was obligated to help in Frankie’s situation. But to those who actually knew him knew better. But Kelvin was her boyfriend, and for that she was thankful, because if there was one person Barrington could listen too it was his own son.

“Frankie?” A surprised voice called to her from the grand staircase. Frankie eyes flitted away from the fireplace, and onto Kelvin. Only he didn’t look happy not in the least.
