Helena's POV
"OMG! I have this big room all to myself for two weeks," I muttered to myself and stood up.This is real!" I pinched myself and ran into the bathroom. Oh! It was magnificent. It was even more beautiful than the biggest house in Adelphi. Yeah, Adelphi it's my home town, the village I grew up in with love mixed with sorrow. Where all my misery started too. I don't want to remember the dreadful pasts for I gotta be strong for my family. I am in dire need of money to further my sisters education and cater for their needs. After dropping out from High school, I started doing various odd jobs to earn a living. To hell with things turning worse there(Adelphi). I have to come to New York; my dream city to realize my dream and also find my comforter, Davis. I really wish to see him, I miss him so much. Davis Wayne was my friend back there in my home town. He came into my life months after my father and elder brother died."Oh no, I don't want to thHelena's POV * * * *"Holy shit!" I scoffed as I came back to reality."Oh gosh! This was his plan! Damn it!" I cried smacking my forehead with my palm. "But I still need the $2000 so I will just tolerate the pipsqueak," I shrugged and left. I entered the scooter and drove off. I got there fifteen minutes later due to Rae's faulty scooter and I got down and took the delivery from the scotter handle bar.I dipped my hand into my apron's pocket and got hold of a can beer. I brought it out. "Lucky me!" I thought and I opened and immediately gulped down the beer as I walked to the gate."Oops!" I raised my head up to see who it was. I was shocked to see who it was. Oh my God! This is my long gone crush, Davis. Yes, Davis. I stared at him speechless. I couldn't believe I would see him soon. I thought of what he would do now and my
Davis's POV * * * *"Sir, are you connected to that lady?" Cole asked again but I didn't reply. "Sir Davis!!""Hey! What the hell is with you screaming!" I yelled jolting back to reality after Cole's scream. "Gone nuts?""Sorry sir. I thought you were far from here in thoughts. What's wrong sir? The lady we met earlier seemed to have left you absent minded. She really cast a spell on you sir.""Nah! You know.. she just... Just forget it!""It was shocking seeing you few minutes ago ready to give up on this huge deal for her; like she was a fairy that you got to meet only once on Earth.""She is more than that," I muttered and Cole glanced at me."Well Mr Henshaw would have waited. He wouldn't be impatient to strike a good deal neither will he be stupid to conceal the deal just because of his impatience. I guess he's a bit sensible and reasonab
Helena's POV I can't believe this! That dude wants to eat leftovers! Strange. I walked straight to the coffee machine, filled the coffee cup and steamed the milk. I made his latte. I placed the cup on a tray and was about heading out when Claire, Julie and Bella rushed in and closed the door behind."OMG.. Did you just see what I saw...""The grouchy boss wants to eat leftovers..." Bella giggled."Like I can't believe it... Oh my gawd... Can you believe it Helly..""Yes Claire...""Huh!' The three girls chorused Owly eyed. "Yes.. Why won't I believe it... Anyone can change..""But not SIR CHARLES DONALD!" The girls yelled and Claire walked up to me."The boss is different... What a sudden change... I can't believe it...""Yeah.. Claire is right... Anyone can change but certainly not Charles sir...""He is different and static...""Oh... Oow... I see...""Yeah.. And...""Who locked the door!" Nanny Rita shouted from outside and the girls ga
Helena's POV I got to Charles's room door step and stood there with a tray and a cup of coffee on it. I was battling on whether to knock first or go in when the door was forcefully flung open and Charles rushed out almost bumping into me. He glanced at me and said, "So you finally decided to show up with my coffee?" "Were you waiting for me?" I stupidly cut in and he gave me a stern look. "Why would I? I was just coming to board your flight to come serve me my coffee since I thought it was necessary," Charles jokingly said with a serious face and I chuckled. "You? Hey, you just laughed?" "Nah, why would I hm? Anyways get off my way so I can drop your coffee," I said and he went inside. I sighed and followed him behind. Getting i
Helena's POVAT THE CAFÉI walked up to a guy in a hoodie to ask for his order."Good day sir, welcome to Right Choice Café, what's your order please?""A cup of Americano," a familiar masculine voice spoke out."Okay," I said, jotting it down. "More milk or how would you want it?""You can choose that. You always know what I prefer in drinking terms right?""Excuse me?" I curiously asked and the man pulled down the hood and I got a clear view of him. Holy gracious! It was Davis. How did he know of here? Did he trail me? Hell no, what next now? All these thoughts ran through my mind as I
Helena's POVI got to my room and stood ajar."Ooh... It was such an hectic day and also great,a big thanks to Davis. He made my day ," I said and slumped on the bed with my hands stretched out. I really don't know what to do now. I stared at the room, stood up and went to the bathroom. After taking a cool bath, I slipped into my pyjamas. I was heading to my closet when I remembered what I had planned to do when I came back."Ooh!!! Lest I forgot.. The daily sign," I said wide-eyed then I quickly grabbed a notepad and pen from my bag and dragged my weary feets out of the room.Charles' POV
Chapter 14 Helena's POV I was rushing to the café and was about to cross when I heard a feminine voice hollering my name. I turned back staring at the girl with raven coloured hair and grey eyes heading towards me and I smiled and screamed "Massie!" "Helena!" Massie said and hugged me tightly. I was so happy to see massie .She is my childhood friend. She left Adelphi (our village)two years ago but I never knew she was in New York. "How have you been massie..." "Cool..you didn't tell me when you came to New York..." "Ooh I just came to New York four weeks ago...I've missed you
Charles's POVI got into my car parked behind the café reminiscing on how Helena turned me down and how I spoke to her. I felt unhappy for what I said and her silence then was what was bothering me immensely. I pondered on what she would be thinking of me now. "A crazy mean jerk as always," I said aloud and banged my right palm on the steering. Why would I care? I have always been like this and that won't change. I suddenly came down from the car and I headed to the café to tell her to be back home quickly. As soon as I got there, I saw her sitting with a guy, having a meal with him and speaking with him. A tinge of anger ran through my veins as I watched her, my fists clenched. She didn't want to have coffee with me a while ago saying she was on duty but now she's having a meal and chatting with a guy."What a fucking sl

Today he came to my pharmacy and said we should give our love a try... He said he liked me and we went on our first date today. Tomorrow we will go on a
Helena's POVCharles has been acting strange towards me. He was always moody because each time we saw, I always brought up his mom matters. If I tell him to reconcile he would get mad at me and leave. I really didn't see any success in my plan but I was happy because things were going well with Davis and Massie. Massie had changed big time. She wasn't the shy Massie I knew. She had confessed her feeling to Davis one day when they went out and that cut Davis off guard. He turned her down but she knew he was hiding
Helena's POV"When I arrived, I found out that my beloved John was dead",she continued after a brief silence." I knew Charles wouldn't want to see me and... I realised that he was in love with you. I have been following him for the past three weeks and I realised that you both shared a great bond... I knew that you would be the only one to unite my son and I... So I'm asking you," she paused and held my hand. "Please follow me to see my son. I have lost my husband and daughter and I don't want to loose the only one I have..""No need to ask," I said and wiped away her tears. "You have suffered a lot to save your family... I
Helena's POVThings were going smoothly for Charles and I. I had already gotten a job as a part-time cook in a café opposite Massie's pharmacy which was great for both of us. We spent much time with each other. Sometimes she comes to have coffee in order to chitchat with me and other times I do go to her pharmacy when she am less busy and so is she. I was preparing to leave the café one certain day when Massie called me."Hello,Helly...""What's up Massie? Are you hom
Charles' POVI woke up the next morning and stretched my body. What happened last night flashed my mind and I sighed. I must have gotten Helena upset by yelling at her. I guess she has left. I was really famished and I went downstairs. I went to the dining room and stared wide-eyed at the different types of dishes on the table. What's going on now?"Tada!" Helena shouted behind me and I turned around and glanced at the jug of milk in her hand."Good morning sleeping head," she teased as she dropped the jug on the table."This...?""I ha
Charles' POVI could feel that Helena was staring at me as I was driving. I glanced at her and she quickly looked away and I smirked."I'm sorry," she said with a sullen expression. "I didn't care about you today...""Aarrgh!" I yelled as I halted and turned to face her."You did that on purpose right...?""You were annoying ... And I wanted to make today special for Davis. I'm sorry for turning down your request for us to go on a picnic. I already had today planned," she pouted and I giggled ."What...?""You're ju
Davis's POVI glanced at Helena who walked up to use,along side Massie with two large tray of nice foods."Here we go," Helena said as she placed her tray on the table together with Massie."Macaroni and cheese with vegetables for my beloved vegetarian Massie," she said and placed the bowl in front of Massie who already sat down. "Beef and carrot stew with rice for you," she said placing a plate in front of me. "Baked penne with cheese and vegetables for you too," she said and placed another bowl in front of me. "And Hungarian chicken soup with Mexican meatballs," she said and placed another bowl and
Helena's POV Charles walked towards us and stared at Davis sternly."It's improper you know... You think I will stand by and watch you go out with my girl?""Hey jerk...""Hush baby doll.. you didn't tell me you were going on a date with him. You refused to go out on a picnic with me for him?" He grizzled."He's my best friend and I was just going to give him today as a belated birthday gift... Don't get the wrong ideas...""Are you bo
