Years back
I woke up with a ladened head, my eye was blurry and I felt a little bit cozy, it was dark and I could feel someone laying down beside me, the person's head on my chest , I could feel the person's breath brushing lightly against my face.
I was weak and couldn't lift any part of my body.
I was a bit scared as I had no record of what happened to me stored in my memory at that time.
I hate darkness and I was sure my mom won't leave me in a room without a light.
She wouldn't place her head on my chest but place me on her chest and surprisingly, I always have a good sleep when I lay on her chest.
My bed was soft but the one I was on was hard, this sent shivering feeling into my marrow.
I forcefully widened my eye a bit maybe I was going to successfully see through the dark but it was a futile effort.
I forcefully tried to lift my hand in order to wake whoever it was that was laying on my chest but it stopped midway before it could get to the person.
" are you awake " the person whose head was on my chest suddenly asked with a feminine voice, a voice which sounded familiar.
The person raised her head up from my chest relieving me of the weight.
The voice sounded very familiar that I had to clump my mind around it trying to decipher where I heard it.
A light suddenly got switched on in the room revealing a girl beside a wall with her hand on a switch.
She smiled to me as I tried to remember who she was and what was happening.
" how are you feeling " she asked looking concerned as she moved closer to me.
Seeing her face made my memory to retrieve all the temporarily lost data, where I was, what happened, who she was and what I was doing on the bed.
" I survived " I tried to exclaimed happily but was barred from doing so ,courtesy, a sharp pain which suddenly flashed in my stomach.
" yeah, we did, you're alive " the girl said happily as she sat beside me on the bed.
All the memories of how she helped me survive the situation flashed through my memory, she was very beautiful as she smiled, I was so grateful to her.
" thank you for what you did out there " I appreciated her as I tried to sit up on the bed when I felt my muscle twitching and my lost strength returning.
" we're now equal " she said as she pecked me on my forehead before she stood up and head to her bed and lay on it.
I pondered on the meaning of her words for some seconds before I could finally locate a meaningful meaning to it.
" so she appreciated my gesture of me trying to save her before " I said to myself smiling.
" Precious " I called her name softly.
" yes, what's it " she replied grudgingly
" how did you seem know more about poison and ain't freak out by what's happening here " I asked her trying to sound less accusing.
" my dad is a military man and he's thought me many things , no more question, good night " she said standing up , heading to the switch in order to switch off the light.
" don't switch it off " I swiftly said as she was about to click on the switch.
" why " she asked, looking at me startled.
" cause I hate darkness " I replied her.
" better get use to it because I like it " she said as she switched the light off and darkness took over the soul of the room.
Present
" do you have everything in place " Gina asked the person she was with on the phone.
" that's good, just hold your position, I'm going to join you soon " she added as she clicked on the abort segment on her phone.
She suddenly pulled over in front of a big restaurant.
It was by the road side and a part was secluded as a parking spot for their customers who are with ride.
A black hilux Jeep parked behind her pink Ferrari.
Another hilux was seen reversing and it also parked behind the first one that parked behind Gina's car.
Eight men in suit quickly dispatched from the two hilux as they quickly surrounded the pink Ferrari harbouring Gina.
She opened the Ferrari's door in a sophisticated manner as the door swirled up and she got out of the car.
She had on a tight fitted blue trouser, a white top with a bold inscription on it " F--K BITCHES " coupled with a love shaped dark eyeglasses.
She was wearing an high heel and a big bag stayed glued on her hand which was very much unlike her.
She love carrying a small bag which always harbour her iPad.
She got down from the car and passed a look round the securities who were surrounding her as if protecting her from mobs.
A young guy who looked more handsome and unbefitting for the job he was doing walked up to her.
He looked more like a model than a security with his great height, cute lips and dimples which glued on His cheek even tho he's not smiling.
He moved closer to Gina almost in a parade manner.
" ma'am, why did you stop here all of a sudden " he asked Gina in a formal tone.
She didn't answer him as she walked elegantly passed him and passed the other guards.
She abruptly turned as they made motion to follow her again.
" I'm getting myself something inside and I don't want to see anyone of you inside with me, stay here I'll be back soon " she ordered as the guards find it hard to respond to her.
" ma'am, I promise to tell my wings to stay here but you've to allow me to follow you, president has ordered us not to let you out of sight " the young guy said to Gina in a polite manner.
" what's your name " Gina asked him scanning him like she suspected him of being a threat.
" Wisdom Wealth ma'am " he replied her formally
" I love your confidence, and I think I've seen your face somewhere before but not ready to remember now, so let go " she said as she started heading to the entrance of the restaurant.
Wisdom's P.O.V
She was miles above me but I've been crushing on her since I was a kid ,when I first saw her on her first visit to Nigeria, my dad ,a classmate to Mr David was the head security for Mr David even before he was elected as the country's president.
My dad was earning much to sponsor me to a good school and already procured a good lot of connection in order to allow me get a good work after the completion of my tertiary education. But instead of enrolling into university after the completion of my high school, I decided to enroll in robertland academy, a military school in Canada where I graduated with A SWORD OF HONOUR, THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S SILVER MEDAL and THE SWORD OF DISTINCTION FOR LEADERSHIP.
I was adequately trained in martial art, used of modern and old weapons, creativity in art of war etc.
Tho I disappointed my dad when I informed him of my opinion of joining him in service to the David's family but I wasn't ready to listen to anything he gat to say because my mind was made up.
With my experience and my focus of study, getting the job was easy.
I chose the DF security team because it was in charge of the safety of the family members of the David family. Rest of the story for another day.
I followed suite behind her as she made her way into the restaurant.
The transparent glass door of the restaurant opened automatically for her as she stood at its front, and she entered, it also did the same for me.
The restaurant's setting was made in such a way that people present there can barely see themselves except those who're on the verge of ordering for what they want by themselves.
I followed behind her as she head to the staff in charge of selling to customers on stand.
I followed behind her giving her some space.
She ordered what she wanted but instead of her to make the order inside a takeaway, she made it clear she was having it there.
I swiftly collected it from the staff as I helped her carry it to an unclaimed space inside the restaurant.
I was surprised to see that she ordered twice of what she bought.
I dropped the tray on
the table, helped her clean the fancy sit she's supposed to sit on tho it was sparkling clean before and stood guard beside her.
" hey you " she said to me and I looked at her oblivious of what she wanted to say.
" sit down " she added surprising me.
" me " I asked foolishly
" no ,not you, but you, sit down, hope you see that I bought twice of everything I ordered " she said to me pointing at the tray.
" thanks for your kind gesture but I'm currently on duty here ma'am " I rejected her offer nicely
" I'm not asking for your opinion, it's an order " she said glaring at me as I stood there confused at what to do
" do you want the food to get cold " she asked due to my long silence.
I grudgingly sat on the chair opposite to the one she was sitting on as a she smirked suspiciously.
What she ordered was two sharwama and two 50cl pet cokes.
I ate slowly as she also ate at the pace of a snail.
She was busy with her phone, maybe chatting or plotting a plan of how to escape the guards.
She attested to my second guess when she suddenly stood up with the excuse of visiting the rest room.
" I'll be back soon " she said as she grabbed her bag and head to the female restroom.
I abandoned the meal and stood up , I located one of the staff and asked if there is another exit in the restaurant apart from the main door and he replied
" yeah but it's in the GM's corner "
" where's the GM's corner " I asked him politely
He pointed at a direction different from where Gina took.
" another exit apart from that one " I asked him again
" none that I I know of ". He replied me and I appreciated him.
I stood at the entrance of the restaurant as I communicated with my wings outside through the walkie talkie to be at alert making sure they don't lose her.
After five minute of standing guard at the door, I saw a lady coming from the area where the restroom was located.
She was putting on an overall Muslim black gown with a black veil covering her face.
The door had already opened for her when I suddenly realised that the lady was carrying the same bag which Gina had in her hand.
I gave a chase at once and blew a whistle which I had on me, it was meant for alert.
My wings followed me as we gave the lady a chase as she also ran.
Surprisingly, she was fast even with all she had on.
But I later overtook her and stopped her.
I tried to remove the veil from her face but she struggled relentlessly in order not to allow me .
After much trial, the veil was off.
" Shit " I cursed as I found Tabitha, the personal maid of Gina under the veil.
Gina's P.O.V
I drove happily as I passed the lone road to my dad's school.
My plan was a total success, the black range rover car i was in can't be tracked , I was sure my Ferrari can be tracked easily, that was why I asked Tabitha to bring the range rover car ,I also hibernated my phone before switching it off so for it to be untraceable.
I shook my head to the music which was emanating from the stereo of the car.
I suddenly slow down when I got to the school and saw a motorcycle at the main gate of the school.
I was happy to see the security not allowing the rider in because it was a blemish to the reputation of my dad's school.
A cheap bike will be the last thing I was going to allow vilify my dad's school.
I drove closer to them ready to bereave him of an entrance into the school but the occupant of the bike suddenly turned to look at me with fear visible in his eye, I was marveled at his beauty ,none I've ever seen before.
Should I allow him in or not, I battled within myself
To be continue….
