EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW I was on my way from Thomas’ quarters and had just gotten back to my quarters. I wanted to pick my debit card so I could get a couple things and food especially to the hospital. A car was at the front of my gate horning. When I drove closer, I recognized the car. It was Tony’s. He had probably come to give me a surprise visit. I wondered why my gatekeeper would refuse to open the gate for him. He was not a stranger to my home. Then, I recalled that he left his post earlier to wherever and my blood boils with the thought that he might not be at his post again.I parked behind Tony’s car, turned off the ignition then came down. I walked up to Tony. He had also alighted from his car and was peeping through the gate. He turned around as I called him.“Hey, Tony man.” I stretched my hands for a handshake and then a shoulder hug.“Hey Edward.” He greeted back.“What are you doing outside? Why are you not driving in?” I asked.“As you can see, I have been here
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW “You sure? What about your car?” I asked.“That is not a problem. I can always come for it later.” He replied.Just then, the alarm installed at the gate started beeping which meant someone was at the gate.“I think you have some guests.” Tony said pointing towards the gate.“Yeah, I hear it too. I wonder who it is this time. It is already getting so late for me to return to the hospital.” I said as I walked to the pedestrian gate and checked the security camera screen.Lo and behold, it was my gatekeeper. “Jude?” I called out as I opened the gate to see him with his uniform loosely worn. His shirt was half tucked in and his shoe laces were not tied properly. “Boss.” He responded bowing down his head and put his hands at the back.“Where are you coming from poorly dressed like that?” I asked him in disgust.“I was… I went-.” He stuttered.“You were what? Oh, cat suddenly caught your tongue? You are pushing me Jude. You know this is the second time you are g
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI asked of Thomas’ father but was told he stepped out to get something. I was going to start telling them about what we had just discussed with the doctor when some ladies showed up introducing themselves as Edward’s friends. Just right there, Edward also walked in with a pack of drinks together with his friend. His mother got the drinks from him and distributed it to everyone around. In the midst of that, Edward took one of the ladies away while the other two had no choice but have a seat with us. I could not hold it in any longer as time was going and Smart with the head security were waiting for me at Pa Robinson’s ward.I spoke after she was done with the drinks urging everyone to drink up and get their energy back.“I came to tell us something.” Everyone’s attention was on me.I knew it was not a conversation to be held amongst strangers especially not anyone around the minister who was responsible for this. I got the rest of us away to the o
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“We are done with the tests, results will be in any time. You can come in to speak with him as he is awake but do not interrogate him yet until I clear him, okay?” He said and we nodded.We entered and met him awake.“Celestia…” He replied weakly.I went over to his side and sat beside him on the bed. He held my hands but did not say anything. Instead, shut his eyes like he was finding some sleep.“Are you feeling sleepy?” I asked him softly.“A little bit. Stay with me till I fall asleep.” He requested without opening his eyes instead held on to my hands more firmly.I sat there till he was asleep. The doctor soon came over. He waved for us to come out on seeing that Pa Robinson was asleep. I gently left his hands then went over to the doctor outside with the other two with me.“What is the matter, doctor?” I asked after we shut the door behind us.“Come to the office with me, the results just came in.” He announced.We looked at one another in
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Let us go home. We have been here for days. Come home with us to have a deep rest away from all of these.” My mum said when Thomas’ father asked us all to return home.“No” I shook my head.“What do you mean no? Everyone is returning home to renew their energy. You can not be there for anyone or even take care of them if you, yourself is not in a good shape. So come home with us.” She said.“No, I am going to Thomas’ house. I want to be there henceforth until he recovers.” I said and sat straight in the seat removing my head from her shoulder.“Are you still on this? Who is going to look after you over there? There is pretty much nobody there and judging from how those rogues were able to penetrate and enter the house, it is not safe to stay in for now.” She refused.“The security in the whole estate has been doubled if not tripled. Moreover, I can always get domestic helps from the company the Robinson’s hire from.” I argued.“I will go stay wit
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWWe eventually disengaged from the kiss. I looked intensely into her eyes then looked downwards on her lips. She drew me in to give another kiss. I stopped her this time as it was getting intense. “What was that?” She asked looking down. She was probably feeling shy and embarrassed to look me in the eye.“I have no idea.” I said truthfully but without thoughts. I did not know what came over me and made me kiss her. “You just gave me one of the most beautiful and intense kiss ever yet all you could say is you have no idea?” She said angrily finally looking me in the eye and her voice was a bit getting louder too.“Shhhh…” I shushed her, “You do not want to attract attention to us. I am sorry I said that. It slipped out of my mouth before I could even catch it. I said.“What exactly does that mean? Do you have feelings for me or not? Or you are scared of acknowledging it? What exactly are you scared of, Edward? You can not tell me there is nothing be
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“What happened?” Tony asked.“I kissed her.” I told him with my eyes fixed on the road as I drove.“Wait, what? You kissed her or she kissed you? I think you are mixing things up here.” He said and clapped his hands dramatically.“Tony please. I did. I mean I made the first move but I still do not understand how it happened. She even tried to stop me at first but I pushed on.” I explained.“Wow, that is some serious stuff right there. I suddenly feel heat in this car. Is your air conditioner on?” He acted dramatic that I wished I had not told him but it was not like I had anyone else to talk to.He continued, “She even tried to stop you but you pushed on? I need to give it to you, Edward, you are the bomb! Were you not the one going on about how she is not the woman you love so you do not want to have anything to do with her or lead her on? So what is this?” He asked mockingly and started laughing. Tony could be annoying most times but he was also
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Oh that? I just did not want them to know I was coming with you. Moreover, you needed someone to be by your side and take care of you since you have refused to get a woman.” I knew it. I knew she was going to talk about women since she saw Celia earlier.I rolled my eyes but did not respond to what she said. Instead, I asked for my food, “I can perceive some tasty aroma from the kitchen direction. I am famished. I really would not mind eating now.” I yawned to further prove how hungry I was.“That is not a problem, go shower then come downstairs. I would have set the dining for you. Also, please come with the full gist of who the lady at the hospital earlier today was.” She said with a smirk on her face as she rose to go to the kitchen immediately before I could even protest.I went to my room upstairs and had a quick shower. Then later returned downstairs, true to what she said. She had dished the meal for me and for herself at the dining.I joi
