Yolanda's POVI'm becoming more worried about my best friend, her time to exit this life is rapidly approaching, and she is dying slowly within. Her doctor has been disturbing me about how close her end is, if only she will listen to me and let go of everything we could go to the hospital for her treatment and probably have a chance to live for another month.Joanna can be a terrific rebel, worst still, since the day she was diagnosed of having stage three cancer and has only three months to live but could live for a year if she gets admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy my best friend has bluntly refused to stay in the hospital. She would often say that there is no need to waste money trying to preserve her life when she will eventually die in a year. It hurts to hear those heart-wrenching words from her however, I won't give up on persuading her to give in and get admitted to the hospital as the one week of her life is already about to elapse.It will be hard for me to do nothi
Joanna's POV I felt a gentle touch and a swift tap on my shoulder just as I opened my eyes in time to check who it was but it happened that I found nobody around in the room, it was just me and the morning sun which was smiling brilliantly at me.Chris wasn't in the room and the house was quiet there was no music playing in the background as usual or anything else to keep the house lively, even his maid had gone on a work break to see her family and pay a visit to her deceased mother. I walked into the living room to check on Chris only to find him all dressed up and standing arms akimbo gazing into space, I wondered what he was thinking about but did not want to interrupt his thoughts. But he glanced in my direction and his face lit up, " You're awake." He said and turned to face with a questioning look." Where are you leaving this early?" I asked him and walked past to grab a seat. Chris looked amusingly at me and replied, " Have you forgotten what we had planned to do today?" I
Joanna's POVAt that moment, my eye caught something in a direction I never thought existed, it was a sign of a skull with a tiny inscription that I was unable to read from the distance I stood. I was startled and ran to him, " Did you see that?" I asked him hoping he would say something to reduce the level of my fright but he didn't. He only held my hand and started moving towards the narrow path, I shook my hand off him, " Can somebody tell me where we are, what this place is and what is going on around here?! " I said halfway screaming.Nothing explained what part of the world I was in, everywhere was thick with grasses that one could easily miss his steps and go missing forever. He left me and continued walking but I remained where I was adamant." I will only leave here if you willingly answer my questions," I said.He stopped on his track and replied, " Follow me and see for yourself. Trust me, I won't hurt you." I had no other option than to join him and we walked through the
Joanna's POVI looked sheepishly at him to verify his reaction, but he was so blunt and did nothing. I know I made him feel uncomfortable as he averted his eyes from mine trying to avoid eye contact with me. When he could not, he spoke up changing the topic in the process." It's been a long time since we had fun together, Joanna. What is your plan for the week?" He asked me trying to divert my attention from the arrogant words he spoke earlier.I wanted to press on and make him regret what he had said but on the other hand, I gave up and chose to answer his questions." I don't have a lot on my to-do list this week," I replied sadly but he didn't notice the sadness in my voice and I was glad he didn't. The countdown had begun and I was expected to return to the hospital to get admitted for my treatment to commence. I would die anyways so let's just have fun once and for all, I thought." We should go on a date and do something fun, maybe on an adventure kind of date and not coffee d
Chris POVWhen I opened my eyes to behold Joanna sleeping like a child in my arms it seemed too good to be true that this beauty was mine. The night I met with her at the hotel remains unforgettable to me, right from the moment I set my eyes on her and we ended up making out for the first time, I was unable to let go of her till this very minute. I've been tangled with her and can no longer look at other women or lust after any young woman apart from her. At times when I get confused about how she managed to keep me hooked even though it is a fact that she did not want anything to do with me except to accept me as her sex partner after much persuasion.We had no special relationship together and the future of our union was uncertain, still, somehow I feel the urge to be committed to her and give my all to her. I don't want to treat her like a sex partner anymore because of this burning feeling within me that is pushing me to make her eternally mine, right now I'm desiring more from
Axen's POVIt was evening already, yet, Chris did not worry about calling to check up on me at least to confirm if I'm alive or not. After waiting patiently, I could no longer resist the urge to call him...I've been so fade up with his actions these days... I picked up my phone and dialed his line." Line busy?!" I wailed. " This dude is a slick... Why would he busy my calls?"I have often challenged the possibility of Chris enduring a meaningful relationship and these had led me to believe that he would never settle down with any girl. Until the day he told me about Joanna. He have never been serious about a girl all my life with him, but the way he talked about this particular girl made me admit that he had transformed a lot and was inclined to lower his guard and let her into his heart. The last time I took him to a club, hoping he would party with others and flirt with girls like in the past... He didn't.Someone once asked him how ready he was to be in a devoted relationship un
Joanna's POVI rushed to get my phone to call Yolanda over, I was feeling all excited to tell her about Chris and his powers. None of us knew about it, but finally, after giving it many thoughts, he opened up to me about who he is. It could be because I threatened him, however as a human, I did not suspect anything weird about him. I only did that for him to tell me if he was a Greek, but he misunderstood the question and revealed his identity as an immortal instead.Now, I'm so happy today to get to know another hidden fact about him. It seems like today is a kick-filled day for me.Immediately I was done with exchanging pleasantries, I called Yolanda to come over to Chris's house, but she promised to set it to the next day. I know that she is with Jay, her boyfriend and would not be pleased to leave him already.The dude had travelled overseas on a business meeting and returned to Greece today so Yolanda was over the moon and I did not want to be an inconsiderate friend and force h
Joanna's POVLove can make a person foolish and crazy, I thought and kept smiling to myself as I walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. I bumped into his maid, she was setting food on the dining table as I walked in. " Hello, Miss." She greeted." Hello," I said and waved to her. I don't know how to address her because she looked more like an elderly woman. I've seen her twice with a young cute high school boy, she called her son. I sat on the couch and started watching my favourite drama waiting for her to announce when she is done with setting the meal on the table. " Miss, you look happy today, and I'm glad that you are." She said smiling broadly at me.I nodded shyly and smiled back, I don't know why I was shy but I was. " I'm happy for you that amongst all the girls in my master's life, you are the only girl to keep him stuck. You are very lucky as well." She said." Of course, I'm lucky because he chased me and I gave him a serious time before accepting him," I repli
