AdilLater that day …“Have you told her?!” Eden asked, I gently looked up from my laptop at him, he was seated on a couch in my office also working on his laptop, “Told who what?!” I asked my gaze lazily returning to my laptop, “Janelle ofcourse are you pulling my legs?!” He replied, I rolled my eyes at him, “Guy you should actually get an office, your presence is becoming too frequent here,” I mumbled, he rolled his eyes at me as he slammed his laptop shut and placed it in his bag, zipping it securely shut.“I don’t need an office, I work from home, don’t pretend you don’t like my presence,” “Truth is I’m not even pretending,” I replied, he stood up from where he was seated and walked up to my desk, “What ever makes you sleep better at night! But just know this thing you’re hiding from Janelle, it won’t pan out well!” He said his facial expression turning serious.“She doesn’t have to find out, I’m not going to tell her will you?!” I asked, he shrugged stepping away from me tab
Janelle.5:30pm ….I pushed the door to my mother’s ward and walked in, I slowly walked towards the flower vase by the window, I took out the previous already withering flower and replaced it by the new ones I brought, I took a jar of water and filled it with it.With a deep exhale, I turned around and walked towards her bed.“Hi ma,” I whispered as I took my seat by her bed and pulled the chair closer to her bed, she looked like she was asleep, although her skin was still quite pale, but not as pale as before, doctors says she’s responding well to treatment and we should be expecting good news anytime soon.I slowly raised my hands to her hair and patted it gently, I made up my mind to not cry again whenever I visit, she wouldn’t want me to cry over her head, there was nothing to cry about, I’m very sure that was what she would say.“Remember our promise right?! You can’t leave me now,”“You should wake up now mom,” I whispered patting her hair gently, “If you can hear me, you prom
Janelle.Next day.“I won’t be staying long,” I whispered turning to Adil as he got into the car, he turned to look and me and nodded firmly, he gently did his seat belt and turned to me,“You look beautiful,” he whispered and my lips stretched into a small smile, “Thank you,” I replied as he turned on the ignition and began the journey.“Enzo texted me yesterday,” I said, I watched as his grip on the steering tightened, he didn’t even turn to me, his eyes remained straight on the road as he drove, I waited for him to say something but he didn’t, I exhaled deeply and continued, “He wants me to have coffee with him,”“Why?!” He retorted looking at me through his side eyes, he released his grip on the steering and glanced at me, “Why is he suddenly asking you out on a date!”“Relax Adil, it’s not a date,” “It’s not a date? Just the both of you, talking over a cup of coffee? Sounds pretty much like a date to me!”“Relax, why are you being so annoyed about it, he just needs someone t
Janelle.I roughly pushed the door to Bella’s office open and rushed in, Bella slowly turned to look at me, I paused in my track as I gently closed the door behind me and began to take slow steps into her office.“Are you okay ?!” I asked, she nodded slowly as she dropped to seat on her chair behind the desk, “Just a minor cut on my hand, I already treated it,” she said raising her arm up to show me, “I told you not to leave without me,” I whispered as I walked up to her desk and leaned on her table in front of her her,“Things got so out of hand, I tried to call you but it wasn’t going through, I needed to do something as soon as possible,” she said.“I’m so sorry,” I whispered.“There’s no need to be, actually that warehouse is where they store illegal arms, ““Someone must have told them in on our plans, because they were moving, but thankfully, our boys intercepted them,”“They were able to escape but not with all of the arms,”“The police have confiscated the rest of them, it’l
SundayJanelle.I gently pulled out a bottle of freshly pressed orange juice from the freezer, I slammed the fridge close and proceeded to the dinning table.“Hey pumpkin, you’re not eating?!” I said to Tehilla gently dropping the jar of juice on the table squatting to her height on the table, “You want mama feed you?!” I asked and she nodded gently, a small smile appeared on my lips as I pulled out the chair beside her and took my seat, I pulled her food closer to me and grabbed the spoon as I began to feed her.“Thank you Mama,” she said, her mouth filled with cereal, a beamed a smile at her, carefully wiped the corner of her lips and caressed her cheeks gently, she’s so adorable and I’m very happy at how Adil brought her up.We heard sounds of flip flops slapping the tiles and we both looked up to see Adil walking down the staircase, with a wide smile he made his way to us in the dinning area.“Good Morning dada,” Tehilla beamed in her usual unclear baby voice, he bent to her heig
Janelle.My mouth hung open in the air as what Jeff said rung repeatedly in my head, I definitely could not believe my ears, what?!“Ma’am Becky was the one who ordered your kidnap,” he repeated clearly stating what he had explained earlier, I slowly turned to look at Adil, he tightened his fist into a ball as he clenched and unclenched his jaws.“Did you get any evidence?!” Adil asked and he shook his head slowly,“I’m sorry, I saw her walk up to the most private room, I followed them, I didn’t realize there would be CCTV camera in a room like that,” “The found me out before I escaped the building, explains why I’m bruised, they took all the tracking device Bella put on me and my phone, as a matter of fact they think I’m dead,” he explained, I exhaled deeply my heart pounding softly in my chest, what the hell! I gently reached for my chest and rubbed it slowly as I listened to him speak, “I was able to escape, and now I have to live the rest of my life in hiding,” he said, he move
Janelle Later that evening, 7:00pm.I slowly grabbed the door knob to Adil’s room and pushed it open, I tiptoed inside, I looked around and his bedroom was empty, I gently closed the door behind me and moved inside stealthily, his room is just how I remember it the last time, neatly arranged and screaming luxury, I gently walked to his wardrobe and pulled it open, it was filled with his clothes, I slammed it shut and continued opening the other wardrobe in search of what I was looking for, I opened the last wardrobe and finally sighed in relief, I reached for his collection of perfume and picked out his cologne I’ve always had my eyes on, “Looking for something?!” I heard his voice behind me, I flinched in freight as I grabbed the perfume, hid it behind me and turned to him, I cleared my throat noisily as I tried to think of what to say, “Need something?!” He asked again as he began to draw closer to me, he was shirtless, only on his trouser pant, I swallowed hard trying to take
Janelle.10.00pm ..“Hey I’ll help you with that,” Adil said walking up to me as he packed up all the plates and carried it into the kitchen,“I’m sorry if my dad made you uncomfortable,” I said walking behind him carrying the cups and glass jar, I gently dropped it in the basin.“It’s fine,” he whispered turning to me with a smile, “I’m used to your dad,” he added, my head suddenly began to ache, my hands flung to my head and I staggered backwards immediately, he noticed and reached for me immediately, I rubbed my forehead slowly,“My head suddenly felt fuzzy, and I feel tired,” I whispered, he swoop me up in his arms immediately,“I’ll do the dishes, you should rest” he said, with the banging pain in my head I could not even bring myself to argue with him, I just let him carry me up, he kicked the door to his room open and walked in, I slowly turned to look at him,“It’s more comfortable here,” he whispered as he dropped me on the bed, he helped me take off my shoes and tucked me i
