Grayham’s POVI got out of the cab and headed straight to the bar. I walked past the first floor, took the staircase, and got to the second floor which was the VIP floor.Miles and I had our secret meetings in the past in the first lounge so after we agreed tonight, he requested that I meet him in our usual spot.I pushed the glass door open and saw Miles seated with his palms glued together. When I entered the lounge, he began to rub his palms against each other vigorously.I went and sat on the sofa directly opposite him. I cleared my throat loudly and was about to speak when the door was pushed open.Nathan walked in. I turned to Miles.“I invited him. I mean, he’s our link to Charlie.” Miles said.Nathan sat right next to me. My gaze was still fixated on Miles. “You told him everything?”“Miles called and told me to show up here tonight. He said you guys were starting to relieve each other’s memories realistically.” Nathan replied. Then he eased on the sofa “Would you mind giving
Grayham’s POVI was holding onto a tiny Teddy Bear and was fast asleep in my small bed at the corner of the room when Alex came to wake me up.He tapped me repeatedly. “Wake up, son.”I sat up and began to wipe my drowsy eyes with the edge of my palms.“Is it morning yet?” I demanded after a sigh.My eyes finally opened and I caught a glimpse of my dark surroundings. There was a flashlight resting on the table and it had managed to illuminate the whole room.Alex didn’t respond to me.I looked at his face and realized that he was avoiding my gaze.“We need to get to the hospital now.” He told me and reached for my small hand. “Get up.” He added.“Hospital?” My eyes widened. I was fully awake now.I took his hand and my ears were immediately drawn to the siren outside. I looked up to him and immediately got out of bed.Then I freed my hand from his clutch and went to the window. I looked out, and there was an ambulance parked in front of the house with red lights blaring.I turned to A
Grayham’s POVI’m not sure if I handled the situation well because Max left in a fit of rage but Gregory went back up and Miles had settled in the café.Right now, he was curled up in a booth on the last row. There was a distant look in his eyes and I couldn’t help but imagine what was going through his mind.If I had a best friend and he walked out on me the way Max just did, I’d be troubled, and worst, I’d be more troubled if I was asked to leave my home but maybe, I’d give the people involved a break because they had no idea who I was.“I’ll go check up on the people,” I told Miles. He nodded and I went to the second floor.When I reached, I noticed that families were hurled up together in corners while some men stood and were discussing by the window. The children were seated in front of their parents.There were about fifty people in the hall. Gregory was able to put down a trampoline for them to sit on and since we don’t have many blankets, only the kids get to be covered.Also,
Grayham’s POVI went out to meet Miles and the volunteers trooped out to join me. The first spectacle that caught their eyes was the face of the man they hated the most.They all turned to me with rage burning in their eyes. “What’s he doing here?” One of the men asked.I sighed and then shook my head. I didn’t even know how I was going to respond to the situation and what the hell was Miles thinking when he showed up like this knowing that he had my face.Eric faced Miles. “You’re here to make another donation?” You’re here to taunt us and then slap money on our faces?”“Yeah!” The group charged.“Get out of here!”They began to throw curses at him.I didn’t know whether Miles didn’t get the message or he just chose to be stubborn because he ignored all the hateful reactions and marched up to me.“The bridge is broken. The water is going to be here any moment from now.” He said.“So you came here to help us?” Eric laughed. “Okay then. Where is your chopper, Mr. Wilson? I’m sure it d
Mile’s POVThe knocks on my door persisted and I didn’t give a response.“Who the fuck is that?” I fired when the knocking didn’t cease.“It’s Aaron sir.” He responded from the outside.I sighed and wiped my forehead delicately. It then occurred to me that I had sent the messenger on an errand.“Come in,” I replied and he immediately pushed the door inside.He walked to me and dropped the cup of coffee on the table. He was about to leave when I noticed the drink. It was darker.“What the fuck is this?” I held the cup.Aaron turned around, his eyes rolling. “Your coffee sir.”“How many spoonfuls of milk did you add?” I was trying to stay calm because there was this rage forming inside me and a little push might send me exploding.“I didn’t count.” He said and lowered his head.I dropped the cup on the table and rose to my feet. “You didn’t count? And you had the nerve to say that to my face? You know how I like my coffee. With lots of fucking milk, you idiot!” I raised my voice.Aaron
Mile’s POVWe stepped out of the library and stood across the street to wait for a cab. Graham wouldn’t stop staring at the book in my possession so I handed it over to him without uttering a word.As soon as he got it, Grayham began to open the book and then fiddle with the pages. A few moments later, there was an unsatisfactory look on his face.Then he finally turned to me. “All I can see here are lists of infectious diseases and plaques that affected the city years ago.” He looked at me. “I’m not even sure if this book will help.” He sighed.I watched him while my brows furrowed with rage. “I thought you were so sure the book was going to help.”Grayham arched a brow. “Look, man. If there’s something else eating you up aside from the stupid thought that I was stealing your dumb boyfriend then say it out.”“Cut the crap!” I fired back. “Do you think I care about Gregory, if I had wanted to be with him, I would have done that long before this swap happened.”“Then what’s the problem
