NAT POV
I can't believe I got her to go on a date with me but then what did I expect, she had made it clear in the past that all she wanted was money; she is to be sold to the highest bidder. Something in me keep hoping that she is different, but I guess I am on a lone sinking boat, the earlier I swim to shore the earlier I can get company. I will have what I am been denied and that's that.
I walked to my door and inserted my card into the security lock, the front door swing open and I walked in with my bag and the flower I bought from her earlier in one hand. After I had left her I had gone back to work leaving the flower in my car. Now I have the flower I guess I am stocked with it till it dies, as I have no one I would like to give it to and I can't possibly leave it in the car to dry off. 
The house is empty as ever, even my younger sister had stopped visiting since she got married and started raising her own little family. My father died not long after he handed over the company to me, as for my mum I can hardly remember her face; she left us too early and dad was too hurt to say what really lead to her death.
That was a question I had wanted to ask him when I feel he is ready to die, knowing at that time he will be careless and relieve the secrete he is been holding; only for him to die while I was out of the country and couldn't make it back on time.
Bottom line secrete forever withheld, except if; my dad's brother who feels cheated out of my dads money: can bring it together long enough to talk to me well enough about what went down.
I dropped both my bag and the vase with flower on my centre table, walked straight into my kitchen
I brought out the meal prepared for me by my cook from the micro wave and sat at the kitchen table to eat.
The food tastes delicious as ever, just as I was about to drop my plate in the dishwasher; my phone rang. Carefully I drop the dish, retrieved my phone from my pocket and picked the call
"Hello"
"Hi, this is Mark from Samtos logistic company, I call to remind you and confirm your appointment with our marketing team tomorrow"
"Sorry to ask you what time tomorrow"
"The meeting was scheduled for 7pm tomorrow"
"Really can it be moved to a little earlier please or can we reschedule"
"I will confirm and get back to you sir"
"Ok I will await your call." The line went dead. I can't believe I forgot such an important meeting; they wanted to use my transportation company as a means of transportation, for all their transport dealings. It means more money and I forgot because….. God I need my focus back, but for what? Make more money? It's beginning to make no sense, the emptiness is beginning to get to me; more reason I need to wrap this up now.
I left the kitchen and headed for the bar.
I sat on one of my high stool; today is not for the lounge, as I wanted to be closed to the drinks. I poured myself absolut Vodka. I needed alcohol to sleep so I drown myself in it not bothering to make myself comfortable. Sometime in between the glasses of vodka I received a call, moving the meeting with the marketing team of Santo's logistics a week ahead. I tried to remember why this deal is so important but I can't so I drank more.
I woke up and look around to find myself in my bar, my work shoes and cloth on, my tie almost strangling me. I had slept in here again; I can't believe I keep doing this to myself. My neck is stiff and painful, I can hardly move it around, my head aches like two thousand drummers are doing a piece of arts in it. I adjusted my shirt and tie the stood up slowly, I have to be careful or I die of the excruciating pain. I need my bed, sleep calls more to me.
I took every step slow and painfully, calculating each step to take me over my staircases into my room.
Once there, I rolled into my bed growling hard. My phone rang and I caused as the headache magnified twenty times over, I managed to pick it.
"Someone better be dying."I said thank God it's my PA
"Sir good morning just calling to check on you sir"
"I am fine"
"Ok sir when should we expect you sir?"
"What time is it?"
"10 am sir"
"10 am" I exclaimed then hold my head as my head fired up again. I grown again
"Are you alright sir?"
"Will be cancelling all I have today, not coming in" I grown again
"Ok sir, do take care of yourself sir"
"I will thanks" I closed my eyes and surprisingly there was bliss.
The aroma of strong coffee waffled into my nostrils and I became active once again, I lifted my head and noticed the orchestras are still doing numbers in my head. My hand flew to my head.
"How are you sir, your PA said you might need this sir?" I looked up to see my cook placing a cup of strong coffee on my night bed stand. God knows I need these badly
"Not doing so well Daniel." I said my hand still on my head
"This will help sir." He pointed to the coffee cup close to me. I tried to seat up, but my head feels as heavy as a bag of cement, I felt his hand on my shoulders helping me up, then he handed me the cup and I dig in, I felt my eyes clearing after the first sip; the drummers in my head too lower their beats, as I drawn the coffee, handed the cup back to him
"Thanks and please I will like to sleep with no disturbance"
"Won't you like some food sir?"
"Not now Daniel maybe in the afternoon" I said all I wanted now is to sleep this shit away
"Its afternoon now sir it's 2pm" that late, I thought I had a date I must not mess up
"Ok then give me one and a half hour, then wake me up to eat"
"Ok sir" he turned to leave
"And Daniel please say thank you to her for me"
"Your PA?" He asked and I raised my tomb up to affirm, just then I remembered the flower lying in my sitting room, it doesn't have to die with me
"Please tell my driver to take the flower arrangement in my sitting room and give it to my PA it's for always been there for me" I said as close my eyes not bothering to see if he understood or not, then black out
