"So, that was the beginning of my sad life." Niel said, coming back to time where he and Jessica sat quietly in the hospital room."What is the end like?" Jessica asked with curiosity, making Niel chuckle."Easy sweetheart, I will continue that another time" Niel said turning his head towards the insensible Drake lying serene, almost lifeless on the bed "With the both of you. Just pray he wakes early. The doctor said he needs something that will encourage his spirit. Something precious that can link him back to our world." Niel said and paused as he shrugged his shoulders.There was silence for a while in the room as Niel was thinking of what could probably bring his son back to him."I will bring Nicholas." Jessica said, making Niel turn towards her direction."Who is Nicholas." he asked with a raised brow telltaling one of confusion."The baby." Jessica said "My son..Drake's son." she added, smiling brightly."""This is for you and once again, happy birthday my love." Eduardo said
Someone knocked on the door, and he had to whisper as he always does to allow that person in. The door opened revealing Jessica, but this time she wasn't alone, as she held a baby in her hands.Niel immediately jolted up, walking as fast as he could towards them. Jessica smiled at the old man who made his way towards them, happy to see something precious with her. Not that she was not someone unique, but who would be calm if he saw his grandson for the first time."Come in, come in. Come, sit here. Watch his head, his cap might fall." He kept saying enthusiastically, His blood boiling and his hands itching to get a hold of the baby. "He's just eight months yet look how big he has grown".. he said. The baby's little eyes twitched, as it opened revealing his sapphire eyes which looked just like his father's. Niel's words got stuck down in his throat, as he stared at the baby.He stared at Drake, and then back at the baby. Jessica, as if aware of what he is thinking, stretched the baby
"Can I have some time with him." Jessica asked as she looked in the direction of Niel, beckoning him to give her and the unconscious Drake some time."oh oh yes yes, you can have some time while I take a little walk around the ward, or maybe I might grab something later. But do you mind if I take him along, I can show him around?" Niel asked with the most pleading look Jessica had ever seen and never had an idea he even had one.Just as Niel asked this, the baby gave out a tiny laugh which later turned into a smile as it rubbed its tiny eyes. Just the laugh of the baby alone made Niel feel like he wanted to announce to the whole world that this boy is his grandson.Jessica, just seeing this made her heart erupt with joy as she realised how the old man had grown interested in her baby in just an hour. Whenever someone would show some love to the baby, or the baby did something beautiful and cute in her sight, it made her always bemoan how she had treated the person who gave the little
He stopped in his tracks and just stared at the shadow, which was in a form he couldn't identify. Deciding on what to do, he moved to the left and almost immediately, the shadow moved also, blocking his path. He moved to the right, and the process iterated again.He looked ahead and behind the Shadow at the light which kept sparkling like diamond, moving in circles, then there it was again, the voice *ple..ase wa..e up*. For the first time, he could hear it a bit clearly. Breathing in, he held it in that way for a while and then let it out.He opened his eyes with determination, and started to run forward, the fastest he had ever gone. The shadow ran in also, as it tried to attack him, raising its shadowy hand and whacking him on the shoulder. Drake let out an enormous scream, as pain rushed through his whole body. He fell face flat on the ground, groaning in pain.The Shadow jumped a few feet back, standing at its position before, In Front of the light. Drake lifted up his head to lo
As she stared into the reflection of the mirror, she gasped at the sight. She looked as dead as a doornail. Her face looked so pastel and she had dark bugs under her eyes. It was not her fault though, she had to prepare herself for the interview tomorrow, she couldn't just let a job opportunity as big as this one slip through her fingers. Tomorrow will be one of her greatest days and one of the most dire ones too. It's going to be as elusive as a dream. Deep within her heart, she was filled with blithe and to be candid, she couldn't wait to step foot in the company.Her father had always complimented about her life in school and to be direct, praised her for her ingeniousness. She herself cannot accumulate the number of times she had dropped first in class but can recall falling third once, but even so, it was the cause of her illness and short break from school.She neatly ironed her apparel for tomorrow and brought out some brand new shoes she had set her eyes on when she went shop
She searched her eyes around the whole area, before fixing her eyes on the green scenery which greeted her eyes. It was the magnificent balcony for the J's Collections and one of the most beautiful places in the company. It might be a fashion company, but it's one of the companies with the most beautiful designs and interior.That shouldn't be something new though, since Jessica is the daughter of one of the prominent men in the continent, she should have the money and everything to build up a company up to this great stage. ' Money was like nothing to that family', people would say whenever they see Raphael out there flaunting his wealth to the outside world.In a week, about eight different sports cars would emerge from his house, with him being the same person steering the wheels. Rumours have it that he has thirty percent of his father's shares and therefore he is gaining one third of the money the company makes.Another rumour was that he could spend over twenty thousand pounds a
Jessica kept pacing back and forth, waiting for the results of the tests from the doctor's but it seems to be taking ages for them to emerge from the room. She was scared, scared as hell of what might happen.She was happy when Drake opened his eyes, but fear struck her when she saw the colour of his eyes. It was easy to say they were not the same as they were before, as long as she could remember. "What is taking them so long", she mumbled as she was unable to contain herself. She just wants to bump the door open and walk inside to check on him."What is happening? Why are you outside", Niel came in, together with the baby in his hands. For the first time in months, Jessica saw a worried look on the man's face. She could feel he had the sense that something was not right.Walking towards him, she took the baby from him and held him firmly in her hands. "Drake woke..", She got cut off in mid sentence as the door to the room opened. Out came the doctors and nurses, some with smiles on
'Look at those eyes of his. They look exactly like mine, even much candescent. And Gosh, those lips, they can debilitate any girl's legs when he flashes them a smile. Oh, oh look he's smiling at me now. What an angel. Who would have thought I would one day get to hold him in my arms'. Drake thought as he tried hard to hold back his tears which were already at the barrier.'Isn't this beautiful' Jessica thought 'Finally, I have managed to catch a glimpse of that smile of his after many months of nothing but silence,. This is the best moment of my life' Beside her, there were sniff sounds coming from Niel as he stared at Drake with the baby in his weak but still muscular arms 'My son, I'm so proud of you. I knew from the moment I held you that you were special. Even special is too low of a word to be used for you' Niel also had his train of thoughts racing through his head."He's so beautiful". Drake said, looking up at Jessica who had a huge smile on her lips."Thank you". She replied
