Mile’s POV

I stared at my phone screen intensely and then lowered the device to my chest after heaving a sigh.

Should I make the call or not? I couldn’t help but wonder.

It’s a slow day here at the office. Fridays are always like that and the Wilson industries have a policy that Fridays are considered half days so we close work much earlier.

Today’s date was etched on my mind because it’s a memorable day. Every September 28th, locals in my neighborhood commemorate the fest.

Our community fest is far from the flashy event people are used to. Over there, we set out a day, look our best, and meet on the open fields. While others set up food canteens, others sell cheap clothes, shoes, jewelry, and some other stuff.

It’s like a local trade fair and on days like this, my father and I never open the café for business because everyone spends the day at the fair.

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    I HAVE MY EYES ON YOU

    Mile’s POVI don’t think Grayham and I are going to discuss anything further, especially with what has just happened. I don’t know where he disappeared to but the warmth that had enveloped us was gone and the cold walls were now surrounding me.I think it’s best I leave then maybe speak to him on the phone later and when we’re done mapping out the places that need renovation, the work can begin or better still, I can have him send his designs so I can forward them to his construction team.I don’t think I can trust myself around him any longer.I made my way to the café and noticed that the customers standing there were gone. I marched out and was about to head toward the parked vehicle in front of the café when I caught Gregory approaching me.My insides turned and I breathed out a sigh, feeling very upset. Then it dawned on me that I was carrying Grayham’s body so I didn’t have to bother about him coming after me but with the way he was marching forward, I think he was headed toward

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    AWAKENING DESIRES

    Mile’s POVThe Bentley pulled up in front of the café and I wasn’t surprised by the number of people lurking around. While a few men were standing in front of the café together with Grayham, other locals were peeping from their windows.I heaved several deep breaths and finally stepped out of the car. I wasn’t surprised because this was how things went on here. Anytime, a posh vehicle pulls up around the neighborhood, we all come out to see who wheels it.I started walking toward the door with my head held high. This is something Grayham would do. When he first showed up here, he didn’t care about the sneers or glares, he just went straight to business and even though I need to be myself, I might as well keep a straight face because the people here had no idea of what was buzzing lately.I finally got to the door and it appeared that Grayham was waiting for me. He cleared his throat loudly and turned to the others. “Mr. Wilson and I will go around the house and mark the places to be r

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    WORKING TOGETHER

    Grayham’s PovThe alarm clock struck 6 am and I immediately opened my eyes. Shirley clutched her blanket tightly and then turned to the other side with her eyes shut.I stood up, walked to the table, and turned off the alarm clock. Before going to bed last night, I had informed Shirley to sleep on it. I told her that I was going to carry on with the morning chores which explains why she didn’t flinch when the alarm rang.I folded my blanket, dumped it on the couch, and then headed to the bathroom. I cleaned up and then marched straight to the café downstairs.A knock came on the door shortly after I reached the café and turned on the lights. I stole a glance at my wristwatch and went to the door.“You guys are on time!” I said and ushered them into the café.Three young men walked in. One was about my age, the other was barely twenty and the youngest should be around 18. I pointed at the first booth on my right.“Have a seat, gentlemen.”“So this is where she is hiding?” The oldest st

    Grayham’s POVI’m getting used to the morning walks I take around the neighborhood lately. It’s half past 6 am and I have been walking for about thirty minutes.Realizing that I had an extra thirty minutes to myself before I head back to the café and get set for the day, I decided to walk into the cemetery since I was walking towards its entrance.Months ago, it’ll take a legion of warriors to get me inside a place like this but here I was, gliding into the cemetery on my own in this early hour of the day.I traced my way inside and took a turn to the right then I walked straight to the latest tomb. I was standing in front of Alex’s tomb. I took off my hoodie after heaving a sigh.The flowers were withered and if I had planned on showing up, I would have plucked some roses from Mrs. Hadley’s garden and brought them here.I stationed my hands behind me and looked at the tomb in front of me. Alex’s full name and initials were slapped on the tomb and the phrase ‘Loving father’ ran beneat

    Mile’s POVImmediately after the cab came to a halt, I alighted and marched straight to the café.It wasn’t even 7 am and I’m sure Grayham was still in bed. He’s used to a posh lifestyle and who knows whether he only wakes up around 9 am to open the café.I got to the door and noticed that it was left slightly open. My eyes travelled up and the closed sign was glued to the glass door but I could tell that it was open so I grabbed the door knob and then gave the door a slight push.It easily slid in so I walked into the café and was swooned by its cleanliness. A glance at my wristwatch proved that it wasn’t 7 am yet the floors were mopped and all the tables tidied.I darted my gaze to the counter and noticed that it was prepped, ready for service.“Wow!” I muttered under my breath, stunned by the fact that Grayham had woken up early to do all this work. I must say that I’m impressed.I was about to head to the staircase so I could meet him but before the customers started showing up wh
