CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW**************PresentHe went upstairs into his room finally. I excused myself and followed him upstairs.I knocked on the door, “Who is that? Smart? Are you back so soon?” His voice came on from inside.“No, it is me, not Smart.” I responded.“Celestia?”“Yes.”“Give me a minute, I will get the door for you soon.”He opened the door and the view I saw mesmerized me. He was dripping from his hair, across his chest down to his toes. It was so tempting and words got stuck in my throat.“Come in.” He invited me in and shut the door. I sat on the bed and swallowed hard as I watched the water run across his hairy chest.“Erm… I… I came to thank you for everything you have been doing for me and my family without us even asking. I am so overwhelmed that I do not even know how else to appreciate than just to say thank you.” He smiled and drew one of the stools to sit across me directly. He held my hands,“Celestia, I thought we were passed this? There
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI stood there for a few seconds in shock and we were all looking at one another. “What are you doing here?” Thomas asked me and jolted me out of my thoughts.“Erm… I… I came…” I could not find my voice“He came asking for Celestia.” The lady that brought me to the cafeteria announced.“Oh, baby, you know Edward?” Thomas asked Celestia.“No, but his face looks familiar. Why do you want to see me, sir?” She asked.Baby? Oh no! Could she be the woman he talked about the other day? And with the looks of things, it seemed they already have something romantic going on. I staggered a bit and tried to regain my balance. I sat down on the chair close to where I was. “Edward, are you okay?” Thomas asked again.“Yes, I am fine.” “You look like you have seen a ghost and you also have not answered my, our question.” Thomas said.“Oh I came here for my exhibition. I want to promote the exhibition with the company and I was directed to the marketing department
THOMAS FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Yes sir. They have done a lot of terrible things but what I found amusing is that, none of them have been prosecuted. They are always pardoned by the police after being paraded for a while.” He explained further.“You know what, compile everything you know and put them together. You will present them to me at the office. I am already on my way and behind the wheels.” I said.“Okay sir, I understand.” He said and the line went dead.I cut the call short because I noticed a particular car had been following me since I left Celestia workplace. I intentionally took some turnings that were not on my route to confirm if I was bee: followed and alas! this car followed me through every turn.I called Smart back. “Sir?”“I am being followed by some people. Get the boys on it and report to the police. I will try my best to lose them but tell them to send help as I do not know what their intention is yet.”“What?! Send me your location sir.” Smart saidI input
THOMAS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWAfter about thirty minutes of playing chase with those people, I finally got into a busy road with Smart’s help.“You are almost at the police checkpoint at the next corner. You are about two minutes away if you maintain this speed. Just park once you get there. We are right behind you so we will block the car and they would not be able to escape.” Speed said.“Oh thank goodness.” I breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a nightmare trying to get out of their grasp for the past hour.I could see a little traffic ahead of me. I slowed down and checked into the mirror but could not see the car chasing me earlier behind me anymore. “Smart? Are you there?” I said into the phone.“Yes sir.” He replied.“I can not see the car behind me anymore.”“Are you sure sir?” “Of course! I can see the checkpoint ahead but I do not see the car anymore.” “They could not have turned back on this busy road. Just park at the checkpoint. We are almost there and the poli
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Well, he did brag about who he was back then but I did not care. I mean it would cost him nothing to behave like a human and I was not in a good mood both times.”“Hmm… I trust you. You usually do not give a hoot when you are angry.”We laughed it off and resumed to work.It was closing hour and Thomas had not called or sent a text. I picked my phone to check in case I had put it on silent mode but there was nothing.It was strange as he would have dropped a text at least if he was busy. I packed my things as Grace walked to me.“You ready?”“Ermm… yes. Done for today.” I said as I waved my bag in the air.“Okay, let us leave together then.” She said as she made for the door.“Together? But you are not going my way or did you relocate?” I asked wondering.“No, but you did! Remember?” “Yeah. Right. It takes time for it to settle in you know?” I said jokingly.We left the office and locked the door. I dialed Thomas’ line severally but no one was p
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWIt was a beautiful morning. The sky was clear blue. It seemed like it was going to be a great day. The heavens probably gave their blessings and a sort of reassurance for me that everything was going to go well as I was going to meet Thomas family.My mum had helped me choose an appropriate outfit for the occasion the night before after so many trouble choosing one for myself. I could not help but think of the worst.“Put your mind at rest, we might be rich or as wealthy as them but no family who wants the best for their son would reject a gem like you for him. Everyday, I am grateful for the gift of you. After your father died, you took on the burdens of the family like it was nothing. Never did you complain.” Mum said to me almost tearing up when she sensed my anxiety about meeting Thomas’ family.Grandpa also weighed in, “That is the truth. Thomas loves you so much, that is a fact everyone knows so his family will adore you just as much.” He re
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWAfter the lunch, Thomas’ mother pulled me aside to have a heart to heart discussion with me. I felt like her daughter with how warm she was. She gave me a box as gift. I opened it and it was a silver bracelet with a gem stone adorned on it. The stone shoned so bright on it.“I got the bracelet when I travelled abroad sometimes back and I promised to give it to Thomas’ wife. He had never brought any woman home as friend even in his college days that we even got worried about how buried he was always in his work. But when he eventually told us about you, I was the happiest mother on earth. The spark in his eyes when he talked about you warmed my heart.” She said and I blushed.“As you know, he is currently the heir of the family as he took on the family business unlike his cousin, that means he has a lot of enemies who do not want him to take on the inheritance in future. You have to brace up and protect him. I can see the fire in your eyes and your
MRS WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“So are you saying we should not go for vacation this summer?” My husband asked after I advised we stayed back in the country to monitor how things would go for his election campaign.“Staying back would not hurt this holiday, no one can make sure things are in place like we would, hope you know that?” I said to him as I slid into my dress. It was a laced fabric stoned to my preference. I loved my outfits tailored as ready to wear did not usually meet my taste and also hard to adjust. I walked over to him to help me zip up from the back. He kissed my neck afterwards. Despite the hurdles we had been through together, one thing I loved about my husband was he remained as loving and romantic as he was from the first night we met.I worked as a secretary to the magistrate of my town then. Williams was the friend to the mayor at the time. The mayor got into some troubles and the magistrate was in charge of the case. They struggled to meet with the
