Today i woke up a bit earlier than usual, did my morning routine, i had asked Hassan to come early so I would be done with the gym sessions before I meet with Mike.
So apparently,I'm still in the living room, I woke up, did my training, and took my shower, Hassan already left a few minutes ago and my brother is not yet up,I'm in the living room watching a morning show on TV.
"Wow so people wake up this early in this house?" I hear my brother's voice from the stairs and i chuckle
"Well morning to you too little brother,how was your night?"
"The best I've ever had,don't even ask about it"
"I'm glad,well breakfast is ready,why don't you join me?"
"I was,I'm already famishing" he says and i chuckle lightly
I help him serve some tea,i know my brother loves milk tea but i prefer coffee to tea in the morning,I serve him some pancakes and eggs.
"Thank you"
"So how's mom and everyone,how's she coping up,i miss her"
"Mom is fine but I must tell you,those news really broke her,i still think she never believed you were dead till now,she's withdrawn from everyone and is not active anymore like she used to be,i wish I told her the truth but it would have created wrangles and unnecessary drama so i chose to find you first,talk to you,know your plans and figure out what next,that's what brought me here by the way"
"Ow i don't even know what to say, i mean i understand what and how mom is feeling but it's something i can't reverse until when I'll be done with what I'm trying to do,ill get back to her safe and sound,I'll explain everything to her i hope she'll understand and forgive me for not involving her in my decisions" i say the sip on my coffee
"Mom will forever understand you no matter what happens,she's our mom remember,i know her,the immense love she has for us will forever remain,so don't get worked up"
"Okay I just hope I get done with everything,all i want is to go back to my kids i miss them"
"Everything will be okay Sis you just have to trust yourself and do whatever it takes to find what you looking for, I'll be here to give my help remember i always got your back?"
"Yeah okay thanks for coming over and for not blurting things out like a teenager, I'm glad you know how to handle things"
"You should be trusting me by now sis, i grew up, there was no way I was gonna start saying things without confirming from you first, i like filling the protocol, that's me for you"
"I must say you've really grown,I'm glad, anyway from here, i wanna go out"
"Out like out? You going to town or are you seeing someone?"
"Haha not really Bro there's some where I need to be"
"Well can i accompany you, that's it you not seeing someone out there" he says and winks at me and i only smile
" No I'm fine alone you just stay back" i say trying to dismiss him but Roy will always be Roy.
"I Wanna go with you, what do you want me to do while you gone? Watch cartoons like some damn kid or what?"
"Who said you watch cartoons huh you funny though" i say and he laughs
"So that's a yes right?"
"Not like i have an option anyway" i say while shrugging my shoulders and he pats me on my back
"That's why i f*****g love you, ooh and I'm the one driving?"
"Okay your choice, let's get going" i tell him as i pick phone and i hand him the car keys.
"Wow so my sister really invested, do you own all these cars?"
"Yes it's called investing, they're all mine now can you get in and drive us, you're gonna get me late"
"Okay okay, slide in let's go" he says in surrender and i only smile as I open the passengers door and slide in beside him.

THIRD POV
I've been watching this woman since she moved in here,I've never seen anything unusual except for the time she spends in her compound,she never goes out unless she's going in that direction, or unless she's going to town of which it's s rare case
I've never seen her with anyone or let me say maybe she lives alone who knows? All i see is the watchman opening the gate for her,she always comes out alone and i wonder if she's married.
She's pretty i can't lie but why stay alone,i must keep my close tabs on her i wanna know why she is here.
So today I am in the same spot i was the previous day, that Mike guy what does he have to do with her? I meant what deal do the two have,I've never seen her associate herself with anyone and then all of a sudden this Mike guy comes out of nowhere and boom he's even driving her home. Wait I'm i being jealous? And why would I be jealous in the first place don't tell me I'm falling for this lady,she looks bit older than me but what are these stupid feelings i have when she's around and other male apart from me?
I must be falling for her and that's pretty bad,it'll ruin all my plans,my boss will skin me alive,i have to suppress these stupid feelings lest i f**k up again
Today she's having company,another guy to be precise,why do i feel like I'm experiencing a ting of pain surge through me when I see that guy with her. I take my binoculars and do a close check, the guy looks like her or let me say they resemble each other if you have close look on the two. Or might he be her brother? She's laughing at a joke the guy has made and i can't help but notice the dimples sink on her pretty cheeks, this lady would surely be the death of me
They take the same route she took the previous day,and when they reach at the roundabout,they stop she makes a phone call and they wait for like five minutes before I see Mike coming from the other side,they do some introduction and Mike slides in the driver's seat, the duo hops in the back seat and they drive off.
I take that as a cue, i hop on my bike and follow them,i must know where the two always head to because after the previous day's ordeal i still couldn't catch up with that Mike guy.
I guess today is my lucky day since I'll not only know what the two do but also get to see that lady closely,i know my boss didn't ask me to do this but f**k her too,it's not like she's following me around.
