Chapter 10.10

JESSE'S FIRST DAY AT WORK!

Edmond's pov.

'My little angel is going to start working with me today, which means I will get more closer to her and I should admit that I am really ecstatic right now.

I know she thinks the encounter we had yesterday night is nothing but just some funny dream and knowing her, she will try as hard as humanly possible to let them out of her memories but like hell I am going to let her do that. I need her to remember everything.

I know what I did is not justifiable but after so many long years of waiting, can you really blame a demon for trying to get some closure, to get some skin to skin contact?

Even the taste of her soul is so nice I wanted to mark her right then and there but I know that is not how it should be, I knew it was not the right time and if I have been able to wait for all these years, I think can wait some more.

'Yeah of course, I will definitely wait some more.....*sigh*'

Jessa’s POV

Today is my first day at work and the anxiety is getting the best of me and the fact that I am going to be with the greek God almost all the time is not helping any better.

The f**cking dream is also hunting me like a damn zombie. It is stuck in my memories.

Ugh! My life is just so fucked up. Nothing good can come out of my pathetic life.

I can't seem to think or focus on anything except the damn dream, this fucked up dream.

"Oh!my!gosh! I think I will go nuts my the end of this day. Ugh!" I say frustratingly to myself.

"I am sorry..... I.....What?! Why are you here?...." 

"I came to see where my granddaughter would be spending most of her hours at... But hey why were you talking to yourself ?" My grandma says. 

Could this day get anymore frustrating, could this day end with all these annoying surprises?

"Oh grandma it is nothing. I just did not thing you would want to come here.

Come on, let us go. I want to indroduce you to my boss. Since you came to know where I will spend most of my hours at, you might as well come and see whom I will be spending most of my life with.’ I tell her as I entwine my arms with hers.

I know you already know he is Brian's friend but there has to be a proper introduction right?" I ask her, flashing a playful smile.

"Yeah, yeah let us go kid, haha" my grandma also responds playfully as we both share a brief laugh.

"Okay, let us go" I say as I drag my grandmum to the elevator that leads to the floor where the C.E.O office is located.

C.E.O OFFICE 

     MIRIAM POV

Jessa enters the C.E.O floor number as the elevator starts to take us to our destination. 

Within a matter of some minutes, we reach our destination, the C.E.O floor. 

This floor is way different from the other ones.

It is very serene and has little workers that I can even count them. I think there are only two or three ..., whatever, they are just not many.

I study the place as Jessa walks to a nice grand decorated oak door which has a C.E.O sticker on it and knocks.

We hear a come in was from inside the office and Jessa motions me to go in first.

'You?' I ask shockingly as I stare at the very familiar face in-front of me.

Edmond’s POV

You?' I hear as I turn my head with the intention of seeing my little princess but what I see shocks me to my very bone and I do not get shocks that often.

'You?' I ask, doubt, clearly painting my features.

' huh?' You two know each-other? Jessa says, following the old witch into the room, copying the same expression as mine.

'Yes'? The witch and I say in unison and it comes out as a question.

'What are you doing with her here?' I ask Jessa, staring between herself and the old witch.

"She is my grandma" Jessa answers my question.

Oh yeah, it is now coming back to me. That explains why......... Jessa is not a normal person.

No wonder she has all those heightened abilities.

How she got to hear the noise through the soundproofed door, this explains all of it.

I always knew she is exceptional.

"Oh" I say, staring into nothingness.

‘But how do you guys know each other?' And now, it is the turn of Jessa to do the questioning.

"He is the son of a certain good friend of mine, who is no more may I add...' Miriam gives an excuse. I can't believe Jessa is a witch, I can’t believe she is the one.

"Yeah, I and my family used to stay in Miami but I moved from there when I lost all my family members.’ say, backing my excuse with a smile to make her believe the cooked up story.

'Ok so now that I know you are in good hands, I guess I have to go kid" Miriam says, looking at her granddaughter lovingly.

"So soon? I thought you would want to catch up with him? Do you not want to know how life has been for him?’ Jessa asks her grandma, obviously confused.

"Yes, I have to go and help Jennifer. The old lady can't manage the cafe all alone you know? and as for catching up, there is more sleep after death.’ Miriam tells Jessa with a smile.

"Okay, Let me go see you out" Jessa offers to see the old witch out.

'No there is really no need for that kid. Your grandma is still strong and in good shape you know?’ Miriam tells her granddaughter, brushing her request off.

"Okay, if that is what you want, then yeah, see you in the evening granny, bye.’ Jessa says, giving up on her request and gives her grandma a side hug.

Miriam leaves the office but not before winking at my way. This woman has not changed a bit haha.

Now, it is left with only the two of us, me and Jessa.

Fuck! No doubt this day is really going to be a very long one, a very, very long one and that, I can promise.
