Part sixteen

Monae's POV

I had a great weekend. My weekend was cool yet full of surprises both in my life and Imo's.

She and I would have never believed her life was going to turn out like this even if a soothsayer told us a week ago, we would have laughed in his face and called him a liar but it actually did and I'm totes glad about that.

Imo is a really nice girl and she deserves to be happy. She did make bad choices earlier in life which cost her a lot but she's changed now and she deserves to get nothing but the best and now that she has rekindled her faith in God.

She went with Roxie, daddy and I to church yesterday and she gave her life to Christ, she will soon get baptised and is on her way to finding the true meaning to life and that's God.

After church, I helped Roxie to cook just like always but didn't eat the food cause Imo and I went out for dinner.

I wanted something simple but she had other plans, we ended up dining at a top rated restaurant where we ate in tiny bits most dishes on the menu. It was all because Imo was happy and a happy Imo is a glutton Imo, according to her.

Coming back home, we had some girl time in her room. We binged watches movie shows mostly fashioned based ones, aside talking and eating that sweet ice cream in the refrigerator that we don't know who bought.

We were like that till I fell asleep leaving Imo cause I had school unlike her who can fake an excuse and not go to work after all its her daddy's company.

And in my life, there was a surprise and that's Rex. He came into my room after dinner and apologised sincerely for what he did to me, asking for my forgiveness saying he didn't know what came over him.

He seemed genuine so I forgave him. He even willingly offeree to make it up to me but I declined. He has apologised and I have forgiven him but that doesn't mean we are suddenly going to be besties, he behaved badly towards me and that emotional wound is still healing.

Rex didn't try to stalk me or anything from that night till today Thursday even then, he's still under scrutinization in my eyes till further notice.

So I'm currently home. I'm back from school and I'm on my way to the kitchen from my room where I was studying, to get myself a bottle of chilled water, forget about it's bad health effects, I need it right now.

Learning has gotten me dehydrated and I need an ice cold water to shoot my water level up, that isn't medical, it is my own theory and don't try this at home.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong! And the door bell goes off. They ringing the door bell indicates they aren't family and I wonder who it might be because we don't get visitors on weekdays except for Mrs Winchester and she's even out.

I set the bottle of water that was dripping wet on the table and hurried out of the kitchen to check who was at the door.

Opening the door, my tongue got tied and I was literally frozen. I lost my sense of doing anything except seeing, and that too I only stared straight ahead. He stared back at me but in surprised, maybe that was what I imagined cause when I looked closely, his face held no emotions.

My oh my, the heavens just delivered an Apollo or an Adonis to my doorstep and I don't remember ordering for one. Gosh I'm not one to be swept off my feet easily by men but whoever he is, he managed to do that and I must applaud him not just for doing that but his extreme handsomeness.

"Miss?" He called me, snapping his fingers in front of me.

It helped pull me out of my daze, "uh--yeah." I managed to blurt out. But I was still disoriented. I looked around in embarrassment, I was stupefied and it was all because of him, he was really cute.

His pink lips were suppressing a smile but his hazel eyes gave him away, they held amusement and so was the face that has gotten me stupefied, "won't you let me inside miss?" He asked me with a smile playing on his lips.

"Huh?" He said won't you let him in silly. "Oh yeah of course do come in." I opened the door wider to let him in. It was when he was inside and was removing his jacket that a thought occured to me, what if he is a bad guy?

I turned around to face him and eye him well when he was distracted by hanging his jacket on the coat rack. He did have a bad boy look but not an evil look.

Nah, he isn't. He couldn't have gotten past the security here if he was, so I relaxed. I ushered him into the living room and offered him a seat. "Can I get you water, juice or anything?"

"Nope I'm good." He still looked at me in amusement and I wonder why because I've gotten over my silly and childish reaction back there.

I brushed away his look and titled my head to look at him with a puzzled look on my face. He doesn't scream familiar, neither does he scream stranger. "Not to sound rude but who're you and who're you looking for?"

He creased his brows and equally stared at me but not in amusement this time around. I thought for a sec he wasn't going to reply till he said, "the owner of this house."

"Are you sure you know him?" Now I'm beginning to think he's a stranger. No one familiar with the Winchester family will come looking for daddy at this time of the day especially when it is a week day.

"Yes I do and very well."

"I disagree with that answer, if you really knew daddy, you wouldn't be here looking for him by this time. He's at work."

He fell silent at that and shifted his gaze from me to the floor. He looked like he was thinking hard about his next words. "Oh yeah I know he is, it's rather strange he told me he was at home today."

It didn't sit well with me but I didn't prove further. It wasn't my business and since he didn't look like a robber, I let it pass. "Okayyyyy, then you will get going now or since he isn't home?"

"Eager to drive me away are we?"

"Haha very funny, nah. I figured you wouldn't want to sit alone by yourself while you wait for him to come back home at seven or six when it's like four now."

"You're right but I wouldn't mind waiting for him." He reasoned and got up from the couch, "I'll get going, I have work to take care of."

"Sure, let me see you out."

Michelle's POV

"No change that to executive, it isn't just any meeting." I corrected my assistant. I was dictating an email for her to send prior to the executive meeting we will be having by the end of this week.

"Is that all Mr Krupp?"

"Yeah that will be all for now, you can review it and add changes to them if you deem appropriate."

I had barely finished saying that when my personal phone beeped with a message. I ignored it and raised my head to look at Mrs Jakira Woods, my assistant who was still standing behind my desk.

"Sure sir, I'll go and do that now."

I nodded my head, waving my hand dismissively and made for my phone. I was stopped in mid air with the ringing of my work phone.

Aborting my plan of checking the message, I picked up the ringing phone. Since it's my work phone, the call must be important.

Looking at the ID, I realized it was Scorpion calling and picked it up that instant. He has an overdue work that he needs to submit and I'm going to blast his ass for it if it's still not ready. I need results and I need it fast, I can't continue being haunted by that beautiful lady. I need her and that is going to happen if he does the job I offered him.

"Scorpion, I don't care you work for the FBI man, I'll beat your ass if you don't—"

"Shut up man and check your phone already, I've sent everything you needed."

"Are you shitting me?"

"C'mom man, I'm serious just go check it and call me later. I'm busy atm."

"Cool bro, I'll get back to you." I hanged up the phone before he could say anything else. Whatever information he had sent was so important to me, I couldn't wait to see it. Seeing it means I can finally look for the lady who has been haunting me in my dreams for two good years, ha, I've never been relieved ever.

Putting the work phone down in haste, I swiveled my chair to the other side of the desk and picked up the phone and unlocked it. I went into my inbox and read the message.

I digested everything in it. She's Monae Araba Daniels, she hails from Ghana but is a mixed race girl. Her father is an American and her mother a Ghanaian, one parent is dead and the other can't be found. Mnh, that must be tough. I thought to myself, living here in America with no relative tough and nerve breaking most times and she being a girl it must really be tough for her.

What got my attention the most was, she now has a family after being adopted by the Winchesters, wtf!

I personally know those people and all I can say is, she's better of without them except for Mr Winchester though who I know so much about on both personal and business levels.

Not bothering to check the other information, I locked the phone and stuffed it in my jeans pocket. I wore causal clothes to work today because I was tired of the daily suits I imprisoned my body in.

I took my jacket from behind the chair and put it on before looking around for my car keys which I found in less than a minute and rushed out of my office.

Out of my office to meet the girl I'm so smitten with, the girl who's haunted me for two years. I don't know how this meeting is going to turn out, I only hope it turns out good and not something else because if it is contrary to good, I don't think I'll be able to handle that.
