Danny (P.O.V).
I woke up to the sound of my phone beeping, I yawned softly and rubbed my eyes. Nonchalantly, I switched on the lights and turned my head scanning the room. Tiredly, I looked at the wall clock beside my bed hereby realizing that it's 5 minutes past midnight.
Ignoring how late it is, days run pretty quickly, I must admit that. I sat up feeling thirsty, with narrowed eyes, I turned to my phone beside me, picked it up with my mouth stretched tiredly. Inhaling softly, I got down from my king-sized bed as the expensive designs around the room glowed in high radiation.
Ignoring the splendor around me, I walked down the stairs with my eyes fixed on my phone, my fingers strolling through my inbox messages. A maid walked towards me as she bowed slightly, I looked up but I wasn't surprised to see her up by this time, "You can go, I can handle myself" I dismissed her and walked towards the massive kitchen only to find the cook arranging some dishes.
He quickly bowed at the sight of me, I nodded, ignored him, and opened the refrigerator taking out a bottle of water from the refrigerator as I walked towards the lavishly furnished sitting room adorned with chairs made of gold and dazzling lights. I fixed my eyes on a chair nearby, sat carefully, and began to sip the cold water to refresh my mind.
The cold sensation filled my throat and I closed my eyes pleased. Suddenly, her face crawled into my mind. My eyes flew wide open making me scoff, a smile appeared on my face. I remembered how frightened she looked when I approached her and her friend that day, she looked scared or confused, an expression that I can't explain but I love every bit of it.
I scanned around, called the attention of my maid who walked quickly towards me. I handed her the bottle of the half drank water, turned my face away as another maid approached me with a plate of ripe grapes which she gently placed on a table beside me. I took a grape from the plate, ate slowly and my mind went back to the lovely girl with amazing eyes.
A month ago, I began seeing the face of someone every night I close my eyes to sleep. A face of someone I have never meant in my life, a young, beautiful, and heart-melting face of the divine feminine.
The dream was so creepy because I kept seeing her every single night I Close my eyes for the past month until that day our eyes locked together near her school.
A loud bang pierced into my heart and I could feel the tension rise within me. I was surprised and shocked to see her as we both stood glaring at each other with surprised expressions hung on our faces.
I was thrown over the edge because this is the same girl I see every night in my dream, the same hair, lips, eyes, and body structure, everything is so right and so real to imagine. "Is this fate?" I asked myself placing another grape into my mouth as I stared at space. Honestly, I expected someone more but instead, this girl is still a young high school girl whereas I am a recent graduate from the University of Harvard.
Slowly, I stroked my chin as a chuckle escaped my lips.
"A young high school girl," I said to myself again. I diverted my gaze to the picture of my late mum which stayed perfectly at the side of a table. With soft eyes, I exhaled looking confused.
"Mum, what are you trying to show me, I don't understand" I complained feeling uncertain and puzzled, everything doesn't seem right.
I glanced at the plate of grapes beside me and immediately I lost my appetite. Ignoring the meal, I called my maid instructing her to switch on the TV which she did immediately. With my eyes fixed on the images before me, all I want right now is to clear my mind and shove the thought of this little girl away from my mind, but instead, my mind kept on going back to her.
Her innocent face makes me crave her more, nothing else was so satisfying to look at. Although my cousin Ammi attends that school, I just used her as an excuse to talk to her but instead her friend kept on talking while she stood there looking mute.
I, Danny Simon, the CEO of Hymax Company and the future owner of the company. Ever since I was a child, my father trained me in the company field, made me know everything about the company and how to run it as he waited for the right time when I will take full charge of the business. Immediately after I graduated college, I started working fully in my father's company.
Being a guy admired by a lot of ladies was very hard to handle. I know I have the look, height and a well-built body, dark hair, and deep blue eyes. My looks, money, and fame drew many ladies towards me, and to be honest, I have numerous girlfriends, no one should be surprised knowing about that because ladies tend to find their way towards me.
Although I am just 21 years old, still very young, I can say that I have dated women far older than I am. I have different ladies at the tip of my fingers whenever I need them, I don't mind if they are slim, chubby with banging bodies, blondes, brunettes, even top models in the country all swam around me. I am indeed the ladies' man, I enjoyed every bit of it hereby making me change different girls every weekend, a player and a successful man. Don't get me wrong, I am not a bad person, but with the rate ladies flock themselves, I just can't handle it.
"But this young girl" I sighed rubbing my face with my hand, my eyes still fixed on the Tv. I just can't explain how she got into my dreams even before I met her. Although I expected someone mature or perhaps it's just a dream that would never come true but here it is...so real.
I am not the religious type to believe in superstitions but I know for sure that my dream is telling me something I can't figure out how. I won't lie about the fact that she is cute and innocent, but she is still a kid, I could see in her eyes that she is so nervous about something I couldn't understand.
Frustrated, I stood up, walked away from the living room leaving the Tv on. I ignored my maid and climbed up the stairs. I got into my room, walked towards my table and switched on my laptop, sat down, and began to work but her face kept crawling into my mind, I tried to lay her off but all to no avail.
Then, I have no other option but to stay away from her and her school environment for a while, maybe she will get off my mind for good, and maybe when I wake up in the morning, I will realize this is nothing but part of my bizarre dream.
