What was Alan up to made me freaking cranky
inside. He acted with indifference now. Just a while ago, he was in his most
congenial mood and enjoying competing powers with me. Maybe I made him furious when I overpowered him. My blood was boiling and my body temperature was
burning like an inferno. The good thing, I managed to maintain my equanimity of
mind. I was now disciplining myself to control my emotions, especially
anger. I was sitting still and quiet
inside the limousine while on our way to Bethany Hotel yet my senses were
attuned to the relativity of the sounds of the universe. I was ready to pump my
adrenalin to maximum limits in the event the enemies attacked us. So far on our
way, I don’t feel something peculiar. The road was clear. I breathe deeply and
look through the tinted window. The roads were jam-packed with buses, cars,
taxis and most of all people composed of different nationalities. Going there and
here, going back and forth, working too hard for the money.
“I shield the limousine with invisible wall. No
one can harm us not until we reached the hotel where right there your mission
starts.” stressed Joey. Joey was sitting
next to me. He moved a little bit closer and whispered into my left ear. “You
will see Alan soon.” My face got red the
mention of Alan but to my chagrin, I pretend not to hear anything. Cody was driving the limousine like a rocket. In
few minutes, we were at Bethany Hotel.
Bethany Hotel was a world class 5 star hotel with
excellent amenities. The ambiance inside the hotel was illuminating glow of
chandeliers hanging on the ceilings. The walls were painted with light beige
colors and well furnished with sophisticated and expensive furniture and
fixtures. In the lobby, there were paintings of Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo
Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michael Angelo to name some. The floors were
carpeted with beige colors that matched the wall. The interior also was
inspired combination of Victorian and abstract architecture. The hotel was a
splendid design to marvel with.
I preferred to take Suite 2400 at the 24th
floor instead of the suite that was reserved for me. It was an easy access for me
to go to the rooftop and made a meticulous surveillance with my telescopic eyes the perimeter of the building if we were under siege. Two housekeepers
tagged along with me and carried my suitcases to Suite 2400. I instructed them to
leave my personal belongings and I would be the one to put my clothing and
accessories in the shelves. They smiled and left me. With a sudden impulse, I shouted at them, “Hey
wait. I give both of you a tip.” They
both answered, “It is not necessary, Abby.”
My eyebrows met for seconds then I spoke, “I fathom you are angels
disguising as housekeepers?” They smiled
at me and left without saying any words. “Hmm, I never imagined that even here
I am well protected with angels,” I was talking to myself again.
After I organized my personal things in the closet,
I took a shower. I let the cold water ran through my body. I scrubbed my pinkish
skin with loofah and with liquid soap in it to remove the dirt and the dust sticking
in my body. Then I shampooed my long blond
curly hair. Then afterwards rinsed with water. I felt so fresh and relax.
When I went out of the bathroom, I was stunned to see a purple rose on my bed
with a note on it. It said, “I am
meeting you halfway, Abby.” Automatically, I transmitted a message to him.
“I am ready to meet you halfway, Alan. Where are you now?”
“See me at the rooftop,” Alan responded.
“See me at the rooftop,” Alan responded.
My spine almost twisted with excitement. I could
hear my heart racing in a hurdle. My stomach was churning acid that I felt like
I was going to vomit gases. No amount of words could describe my feelings. It
was a hiatus moment for me. In a soft whisper, “I meet you at the rooftop.” I immediately changed to denims, white
collared t-shirt and white rubber shoes. I sprayed myself with Idylle perfume-a
blend of mild lilies, peonies and roses. Again in small whisper I
said, “I am ready to meet you.”
In split seconds, I was
at the rooftop. For the first time, we saw each other in flesh. He was gloriously
standing in the broad day light. His dark brown hairs were tossed by the gusty
winds. His skin tanned. His violet eyes like mine were staring admirably at me.
He was clad in leather black pants; body fit light blue shirt and black rubber
shoes. The tight shirt he wore emphasized his masculine physique. He looked matured at his age of 12. I was melting like a
candle-running out of breath. He was absolutely gorgeous.
He walked close to me,
held out his right hand for a handshake and introduced his self to me. “I am
Alan. Glad to finally meet you, Abigail.” His voice was soft but charming. I accepted his
handshake but surprisingly he pulled me close to him. I was motionless and
speechless. I met his gaze. The magnitude of the gaze made my whole body
shivered. My sweat was cold as blood. I pushed him away. “Something wrong?” he
asked. I turned away from him to avoid
staring back at his gaze. “Tell me what you see, Abigail.” He urged me more to
speak. I bluntly responded, “It is the future event that will take fold.”
