Nia's POV..."Nia, could you please set the decorations up?" Ashley uttered to me, as I stood at a corner mopping the floor."Sure" I responded, pushing the mop bucket away, then going over to grab the decorations. It was Cameron's graduation, and in a bid of congratulating him, the family decided to throw a surprise party in celebration of his exit from high schoolI heard Voices from outside drawing closer, and soon enough the door to the living room tore open, and In walked a man, a lady and a girl.They all looked at my figure, while I remained standing on the stool, with decorations drowning me, and just then I heard Ashley's voice. "Uncle!" She squealed, hurrying over to hug the man. "Oh my! You've grown so big" The lady uttered to Ashley, while wrapping her in a hug.Ashley flashed a smile at the lady, and soon enough she turned to the man. "How's England, Uncle Peter?" She asked. "England's great" Followed his response."Where's your mother and Father?" "They haven't ret
Cameron's POV...I sat on my bed the minute I got to my room, letting out a low breath I never knew I was holding.Getting away from the crowd was just what I needed. There was a light knock on the door, which made me snap my head up, wondering whoever that could be, now that I had decided to come have a moment to myself.I prayed the person would leave, but then, the door pushed open slowly, a figure proceeding in. A feeling of warmth rushed inside of me the second, my eyes took in her profile. "Hey" She spoke quietly, a weak smile playing on her lips.Hands resting on her thighs, her gaze remained fixed on me."Why aren't you downstairs celebrating with everyone? The party is for you" She said to me at once."It's just not my thing" Followed my response "Come have a seat" I offered immediately, pointing at the bed. I noticed her being hesitant, her gaze averting away from mine."Uh..." She began, voice low.I got up at once, advancing towards her figure, while she fiddled with

25, December. Christmas... Peering out through my snow-stained window glass, I observed the little festivities going on in our tiny neighborhood. Christmas lights of all sorts beautified the streets under the night light, while the sound of jingles could be heard from afar. The joy of the season, sent much warmth all through my body. Shifting my gaze to the invitation card held tightly in my grip—You're invited to the Christmas dinner of the Williams. So it read. There was a tiny note which was stuck at the back, which came from Ashley. In the note, she expressed how much she'd missed me, and how she was looking forward to me showing up at the Christmas dinner. Of course, I was eager to attend the Williams' dinner, mostly cause I would be seeing Cameron. Oh, how I've missed him so much.Seeing his face, while he teased me endlessly, smiling and chatting with me, brought much joy to my heart, not to forget the comfort of being around him.The last time we talked was over the pho
"How are preparations going for grad?" Ashley questioned, while we both stayed in the dining area packing up the dishes. "I don't think I'm prepared for it" I said to her. In all honesty, I wasn't, I tried not to think of graduation and college. All I wanted was just to get the best of this year, and ace my exams. "I mean, we just got into senior year. We still have months left" I uttered. "That's true" She stated."But that's not gonna stop us from getting our dresses now that it's still early" She added. I chuckled lightly, rolling my eyes at her while we remained clearing the whole place up, packing all dishes into the kitchen sink. "I'm home!" A voice called from the living room, causing Ashley to turn to me with wide eyes and open lips. "Jordan's back from college" She squealed, hurrying out of the kitchen, leaving me to my confusion. Wiping my hands with a towel, I followed behind, proceeding into the living room to have a look for myself what the whole excitement was al
It was sad that I still found it my job to keep the kitchen clean, even though I was no longer a maid here. I just got bored and decided to find something doing, which was what prompted me to come over to the kitchen and do the dishes. "Hey" I heard a voice from behind. I jolted in fear, then turned to see Cara moving towards me. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to--" She apologized. "Oh, It's fine" I replied with a smile. She drew nearer to me and without saying a word, she began assisting me. "Thanks" I said to her. She gave me a smile while she rolled her jacket sleeves up, then grabbed an apron from the rack. "That's a beautiful ring" I uttered while acknowledging the beauty of the diamond ring which sat perfectly on her finger. A smile grew on her lips as she looked at it."Jordan really went all the way out for the engagement" She sighed."I have no idea how much he spent on the ring" "Well, you deserve it" I said to her immediately. "Thanks a lot, Nia" She gazed into my
I rested my back on the kitchen counter, running my hands through my loose waves as different thoughts filled my head. A low gasp escaped my lips, at the sound of a much familiar voice speaking."Nia" I turned slowly to find Cameron staring at me with excitement in his eyes, mixed with passion. The way my name rolled off his lips made goosebumps appear over my arms. From where I stood, I could see his grey eyes glistening, gaze calling. He began moving towards me, face expressionless, his hands in the pocket of his joggers. His lips came crashing onto mine as soon as he got to me, grabbing my waist and pulling my body closer to his. I lost total control of my body, as my hands reached up slowly to touch the side of his face. I loved the response he gave to me as his fingers roamed all through my skin, while I slowly pushed aside the portion of hair that fell over his face.The way he stared into my eyes made my heart race. "Skip this, and come with me" He whispered into my ears
THIRD PERSON POV...Cameron followed his mom past the hallway, into the living room, and finally they went out the back. His gaze rested on her, as she folded her arms across her chest, staring back at him. "Mom, I'm here" He uttered, wondering why she had called for him. "I can see that" she responded immediately. She was silent for a while, staring on at his face, meanwhile, Cameron's eyes twitched a little, looking confused as they stood out in the yard, the environment being serene.Jingles rang out loud in the neighborhood, the joy of Christmas filling the air.The whole area was covered in snow, giving the neighborhood a freezing atmosphere. "Mom, if this is about Nia-" He began. "Yes it is about her" She replied immediately, cutting him off. "Why her, Cameron?" "Is this some sort of Joke" She asked in a raised voice. Her voice fell as she looked at him, waiting for him to speak. "With all respect mom, do not refer to my relationship as a joke" He replied. "Everyone's
"We can't let you through ma'am" My eyes were found gaping at the form away, holding onto such hostile air which exhumed from the fellow. "Sorry, what?""Mr. Holden has requested he best be left alone...He has informed us not to let anyone in" He clarified. "I work for him......at the company" My words barely had little effect on the man away, as that smug scowl still rested on his lips, with eyes holding a haze of trauma, and brute."We're gonna have to ask you to leave, young lady" He followed at once, motioning for me to step away. "It's important I see him, Sir" "You have to leave, Miss" "It's urgent" "I'd hate to repeat myself" "Come on!" My arms flung in the air, exasperation claiming the most of me."Ma'am, Please. You're creating a scene" My jaw had dropped without warning at his choice of words, eyes gaping on at him. "I'm creating a scene?" The scoff left my lips, gaze peering at that profile. "If you don't mind me asking, what's the name?" "Carl" He followed wit
And here we were, forms centered on the office floor, with burnt cig ashes littered over the marble tiles, while the sound of my laughs poured out into the room. "I'm telling you, Jane. I found myself mopping floors with my garments, all in sakes of bringing food to my mouth" Spoke Louis. "It was a hectic one, Jane" "Life never is easy" "Not in a million years would I believe you come from such home, so raggedy, even to an extent of being feasted by rats" I called in a low voice. "Oh, not just the rodents, Jane" He whispered. "Even the roaches and snakes took abode in our home, and only then did it hit me, that I wasn't living. Not until I got the comfort I sought, the peace......and the joy" He called in a low voice. "One never is serious, not until they get a push" He let out. "Mine came about, at the height of the poverty that feasted my heart. That, Janet Parker, was my turning point, and my snap to work" "What is yours?" Those eyes searched through mine, words hitting my
The reception received upon my entry into Cigg Holdings, was beyond exceptional, I tell you. Each one of the people bore smiles on their face, with eyes beaming on at me, their arms opened up to receive me, at this point, I was made to believe there was something else to the occasion. Could I have turned so important overnight. "Oh, please. Don't get the poor lady, startled" The calm voice of Mr Vettriano soon took the space, with his figure coming right into view. "We can save the cheers for when eventually she takes office" He chuckled, with hands reaching out to take mine. "I hope" He added in a low voice. "Miss Parker, I long awaited your visit" He stepped aside, motioning for me to step into the elevator before him. Those eyes watched me keenly. Holding onto to every slight movement I gave, with a look of glee I still couldn't decipher."I'm sorry, I couldn't meet up on time" My voice was low, eyes watching his fingers set the elevator to the last floor. "Nonsense, Jane"
"Why do you look ravishing today, Miss Parker?" My eyes had snapped to the form of Susy proceeding into the office, hands holding onto a paper bag."Why?" I followed with confused eyes peering on at her."You look beautiful, not to lie" That certainly must be a lie,m, cause I believe looked just the way I felt, and I can tell you I didn't feel so good.Saying I was tired, was merely an understatement. I was utterly drained, completely knackered as one would say. "I gotta tell you, Susy. When a lady hears how beautiful she is, she flushes not because she actually is beautiful, it's because it helps boost her confidence" "If I do look beautiful, then I must go on being stressed, cause I can't tell what's changed with me. But stil, thank you for that" I saw a smile creep up her lips, eyes beaming on at me."No, thank you. Miss Parker" She fell silent, eyes only watching me carefully, and next came the same Susy I was familiar with. "Miss Parker" Her voice was soft, gaze never lea
"Become a manager at Cigg. Holdings"Those words still rolled around my head, despite it being days since Louis had stepped here. Me? A manager to one of the top companies in the state, if not the best. What exactly did I know about managing such huge business?But I tell you, Louis was one to think otherwise. In fact, he deemed me the best match to head such organization. Now, why would that be? I still couldn't figure out, all i found myself re-living, were his utterances. This was massive. It spelt a new path in my life. Me heading such organization as Louis' was bound to change all about me. And I mean that in every good way. My life was to change for good. But why me? What exactly did he mean by his interest piqued in getting familiar with my character? What character exactly? If anything I was an utter mess. A sore one. Why then did Louis Vettriano choose to come to me with such offer that just was irresistible. "Jane"I was snapped at the sound of that voice, eyes comi
"My life's only a rollercoaster, Tara" My figure had crashed right onto the couch, taking the space next to her form. "A rough ride it is" I could feel her eyes scanning my profile, no words coming from the girl away. At once I had snatched the heels off my feet, sinking my legs onto the plush carpet, and I tell you, the feel that rushed through was just every comfort I sought. "Can you believe Louis Vettriano stopped by the office today. The life had soon rushed back to me, with every delight filling my gaze, while those words stumbled out my lips. "He was there to offer me a job, Tara. A job!?" "He offered to make me his manager"The eyes of Tara only watched me while I went on. She had barely made an utterance, that gaze only remained intent on my form. "I'm entirely lost, Tara" My voice was low, eyes faltering. "Whatever do you think I should do?" "Okay, that's enough, Jane!" Followed the voice of Tara, figure tearing off the couch at once. "You put up with this every now
"There are a lot of things left for one to behold in this world, Miss Parker" My gaze shifted to the form of Louis, ears perked, at each word that came tumbling out his lips. I dare not be distracted. He had so managed to earn my undivided attention effortlessly, with eyes watching him, watching every slight movement he gave."You, Miss Parker, are an exceptional lady, I must say"He waved at the lady behind the counter, calling for her to return with the cups of coffee he had ordered minutes ago. I gaped on like I was caught in some sort of trance. Perhaps, I was. For it be the fact that this man wasn't on my TV screen, or the page of some magazine held between my fingers. No, no, no. Louis Vettriano was sat right before me. Far away from Holden Inc. we were. For some reason, he had decided to take me to the café right down the street, prepared to make his business known. I soon caught sight of the lady approaching, hands bearing a tray holding the cups of coffee, Mr Vettriano
"Miss Parker?" "Miss Parker!" I jolted at the voice which deemed it fit to ruin the peace that had taken a hold of me.Oh, the calm I had found myself in, now altered by whoever that form was that had now waddled into the area. It was merely five minutes gone that I was found basking in every serenity that came with the office space, mind lost in thoughts, having its own wandering, when that voice came stumbling in, altering a moment that I felt was just irredeemable. "Miss Parker!" "What is it, Susy!?"Believe me I tried my best to remain calm, I pinched myself to, but the incessant call of my name, by a girl whom I had been direct in sending downstairs, to fetch nothing in particular, just to evade her babbles, for as peaceful as five minutes could be, soon got me snapping to her, eyes taking in her form. She paused at my outpour, eyes shifting through the room for a minute, and at once her eyes lit up, figure pulling closer to mine. "There are some people downstairs, request
I let the form of Tara crash into my hands, a low grunt pouring out her lips upon the impact of our figures.She had bruises all over. With eyes still holding onto the fear that had caught her half an hour ago, there still remained patches of blood on her lips. "I'm sorry" My voice wavered, eyes pulling her even tighter to myself. "I'm sorry, Tara" She barely made an utterance, instead, her grip on me only tightened, body relaxing in mine. "Janet Parker?" Came the voice that managed to pull our figures apart. "I'll need you for questioning" I stared at the middle-aged man before me, eyes holding onto the same joy it held, while he burst into our house, tackling George to the ground. He had smacked him repeatedly, holding a gun to his face, and in all of his glory, he tore a cuff out, placing it on the wrists of the man who would have been my murderer, if they hadn't arrived just in time. "I'm Officer Thawne" "Your friend will be attended to by the paramedics. In the meantime,
