Chapter 2... Homecoming part 1

Jonathan's POV.

Today was like every other day, i woke up about an hour ago; did my morning routine as usual. I had breakfast made by my cook, which consisted of French toast, beacon and freshly squeezed orange juice.

I got into my car after breakfast as Lance my driver of three years was already sited in his spot and we made a quick stop at my favorite coffee shop for my morning dose of caffeine before we continued our journey to the office.

I stopped Mrs Cooper from getting my coffee one week into her job, i guess you could say it didn't feel right. The poor woman already does so much for me. She makes sure I'm on time for meetings, she drags me to family dinners and festive parties so that i won't spend it alone.

She often makes me hold end of the year parties in the office too, i really couldn't careless about such things though. Some times i even hear her muttering prayers of good health and safety on my behalf.

As i stepped into my company building, i started hearing the usual murmuring from the ladies. After five years of hearing the same thing every morning, you'd think i would have gotten used to hearing them say such unholy things about me but no, it gives me goosebumps every time.

It's always the usual "OMG! He's like the hottest man ever!, i won't mind to be bent over the desk by him, with a face like that...i bet he's like Christian grey in the sheets. (Shivers) who the heck is Christian grey?

Upon entering my office floor, i spot my PA giving her handset a deathly glare. Hmm...hope i didn't forget any meeting for the day? Standing over her shoulder, i try to get a good view at what was making her glare at the phone like a murder weapon. Not understanding what the problem was, i clear my throat loudly and she shrikes in fright while saying.

"My lord! Mr Snow? You're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days."

Poor woman, i should probably stop sneaking up on her before that actually happens.

"Sorry about that Mrs Cooper, you seem troubled. Is everything okay? She shakes her head sadly before saying

"No, not really...remember my kid sister i told you about? Her flight would be landing any minute now and my husband has been stuck in traffic with the car for God knows how long and I've been trying to get a cab but i can't reach them for some reason." I don't know if its because of how hopeless she looks right now or the fact i have a soft spot for this woman, but i couldn't stop the words from coming out of my mouth.

"I can take you." She looks at me wide eyes as if she couldn't believe I'd just said that. I mean, i still can't believe i said it too. She knows how much i detest crowded places.

"No, no, don't worry about it Mr Snow. Don't bother yourself with such petty stuff, I'm sure you have a lot of work to do today." She says while waving her hands animatedly trying to talk me out of my decision to take her to the airport.

"But i don't feel bothered at all, it actually feels great to be the helping you for once. Besides, you're in charge of my schedules so you know I've got nothing serious planned for the day." Instead of waiting for her to give me more reasons i couldn't go to the airport with her, i take her by the hand and lead her to where the car is parked as i tell my driver where to go.

Her eerily silence is beginning to worry me, maybe she's still shocked about my mysterious

behavior. I'm still dumbfounded by my actions from earlier too but what's done is done, there's no use crying over spilled milk right?

Trying to get her to lighten up a little, i said. "You never did tell me much about your sister, what's she like?" It seems my plan worked, because her face lit up immediately at my words.

"Her name is Isabella,which you already know. She's three years younger than you..." Mrs Cooper went ahead to tell me about how her sister was born when their mother was in her fifties, her sister is very intelligent, she graduated high school at fifteen. She started traveling the world one year after securing admission into a prestigious university at the age of sixteen.

Because she is very intelligent, she

was allowed to take her classes online. And she graduated four years later, with double major in Theology and Humanitarian service. And now, she is always in different cities each time she face time her sister telling her of the newest souls she has lead to Christ or how she is advocating on behalf of the less privileged and teaching schools.

She's hardly ever home unless there's a big occasion that can't be missed. Like her niece's highschool graduation that's happening in four days. She was coming back from a part of Africa called Nigeria this time, where they had just finished combating an epidemic known as Ebola.

After thirty minutes of driving and twenty four years worth of story telling, we were finally at the airport. I volunteered to stay in the car seeing as crowds makes me nauseous. I asked Lance to to accompany Mrs Cooper in case there are bags to carry.

To Be Continued.
