Seeing her again

CRANE STATE

Theo pov

They car is packed in front of the hotel,the main branch in the country. The car is opened by one of the bodyguard as I step down from the car,wearing my black shoes , suit and my short hair styled in a side path.

They bodyguards walk beside me as am greeted by employees and i return the greetings.

The general manager greets as I walk to the elevator leaving the bodyguards. I come out of the elevator as I walk to my office which is shared with Dylan.

"I see someone is here",dylan says.

I smile,"is that the correct way to speak to your boss".

He spins his chair and rest his hands on the table and brings his face forward," you want me to be formal behind close doors?, Fuck you", he says as he showed his middle finger.

"I'll brake that finger one day" .

"I'll like to see you try, mr elvis" , he chuckles.

I walk to my table and sink in my chair as the work start.

***********************************

Evening

I take a deep breath, as I grab my phone from the table. I search for arellas number that I stole from dylan's phone. I peep at dylan who is still busy.

I haven't tried contacting her since the time we met which was last year in sandri state. I don't even know if she permanently live there.

I take the boldness to call the line, wait what if shes working now, it's already 6:20 will she still be working?.

I flex my finger to stop the call but_

"Hello,who am I speaking with?".

"Hello?".

I clear my throat and bring the phone to my ear,but I don't know,am not able to say anything so I hang up.

Dylan yawns and looks at his wristwatch,"shall we go now" .

"Are you sleeping in the hotel?" ,I ask.

"No,staying home today" ,he answers flatly.

I curve a smile,"is anyone?" ,I click my tongue,"coming?".

"Is not your business,let's go" .

"C'mon tell me" .

We arrange our things and walk out of the hotel.

We walk to my car as the driver opens the door,and I and dylan enters.

I rest my head backwards and close my eyes.

I open my eyes slightly and look through the window.

My eyes caught a recognizable figure in a black skirt and purple blouse.

Am I seeing things?.

"Stop the car!".

Dylan wakes from his sleep, looking like someone that's about to have a heart attack.

The driver packs the car and turns back,"sir is there any problem?".

"Yes,sorry I need you both out of the car".

Dylan looks at me wide eyed,"what?" .

"Dylan am very sorry,but it's very urgent,I'll make it up to you man'.

He kept that confuse look on his face as he and the driver got out.

I immediately sits in the driver sit as I take a follow her.

I look as she enters the bus.

I follow the bus,I didn't even see her face clearly but my instincts tells me it's her,what if I follow her just to find out is not arella?

I watch as she comes down from the bus and stretches her hand and walks in a street.

She stops in front of an apartment building and answers a call. I look closely,it was her,my heart is fills with joy as my instincts is right.

She enters the apartment building.

That's amusing,I own this building.

I step down from the car and watch as she greets a figure,which I know very well. The landlord.

For the tenants,he's the landlord but he's not the actual owner.

I walk to him,"good evening,mr bill".

He turns,facing me,"oh sir",he smiles,"what are you doing here,don't take it the wrong way,is not like you can't visit the building am just surprised to see you here".

"No worries,Mr bill,I didn't come for any big matters,and by the way Mr bill,no need to keep it formal between us".

I need to check something.

He walks closer,"is it anything I can help with?" ,he asks.

I sink my hands in my pockets,"the lady that just greeted you,do you perhaps know her by name?".

"Ah yes!,you mean arella who works in grann?".

"You mean grann hotel?".

"No,I mean in grann media house,shes a radio on air personality".

I smirk,seems like we're not too far from each other,I say within myself.

I started building my own hotels years ago and last year my father died,leaving me the inheritance of grann media house and hotels,though this heart at the end or year party,I'll be formally introduced as the owner. Grann hotels and grann media house became separate from his enterprises,meaning whatever profit or loss I get has nothingto do with his company.

I never met him,never went for the burial,I never met his new family,He divorced my mother before my birth,and I wasn't interested in meeting him.

I put my hands behind my back,"is she planning to move out any sooner"?,I ask.

"No ,I don't think so"."And she lives with her mum".

"Her mum?" .

"Mhm,yes,she looks quite close though,I even asked arella if she's her biological mother,she said yes".

"Okay,I'll see you next time" ,I back him as I walk back to the car.

"Oh wait!"

I turn and see him walking towards me.

"Are you interested in her?".

"Well,mhm,maybe" .

"Since you're interested in her,let me tell you something".

"There's a man that visits her sometimes,I thought he was her lover so I tease her about it,but she said he's her friend".

"But,I thinks he likes her, anytime I watch them I see love in his eyes.

So sir,I think you have a competitor".

"Competitor?"I, smile,"thanks for informing me,have a good night,mr bill".

"You too sir!".

"You're still being formal,mr bill!" .

I walk towards the car and turn to look at the apartment I saw her entered.

She comes out,and look at the sky,just gazing at the moon.

I look up,"indeed the moon is beautiful".I turn back at her and our eyes met.Am not sure if she can see my face clearly from where she's standing but at least she can see my figure.

I smile,wave and enter the car.

I drove happily,this happy feeling I feel within me,I feel as if I found a missing part of me,my heart beats like crazy,who would have thought that I'll fall in love.

I haven't felt this feeling in along time.

But suddenly,I feel fear,what am I afraid of?,I feel tears gather in my eye. I park the car at the corner of the road,a tear rolls down my cheeks,am confused.

I don't know why,but suddenly,I let myself cry,why do I feel this way. I take a deep breath and starts the car.

If dylan was here, he'll think am crazy.
