“We’re here.” Dylan said as he killed the engine of the car.He turned to see Reyna fast asleep beside him. Her head that rested on the car seat was almost at the edge. He tapped her gently as she fluttered her brows before seating up again.“Ohh. I slept off.” She said as a yawn escaped her lips.Reyna did not get enough rest from the other night because she was bothered about her brother and Niko and also about her project.“Let’s go.” Dylan spoke out as he opened the car door.Carrying her bag off her laps, she opened the door and came out with a leg first before finally pulling all her body out of the car. The sun rays hit her eyes making her close it a bit before opening it back.“We’ll be going to the third floor, I think they have the things we require.” Dylan told her before they both made their way towards the building.As they got to the security checkpoint, they bowed down to them and opened the gate for them without questioning who they are or where they were from.“Is th
“Is Reyna home yet?” Niko asked as he entered the house.Going to the office everyday, and coming back to meet Alan seated in front of the television or pressing his iPod was the best view. It made him look like a father, something he wasn’t ready for and at the same time ready for. Reyna would be the first to get home but would lock herself in her room, the sound of machines revving throughout the house, and some music also in the air.She was dealing with her project and really needed to focus on it. As he walked in with a tired look on his face, Alan gave him the same answer he always got;“Yes, she’s busy.” He replied.He raised his brows and sighed before collapsing on the chair. Alan looked over at Niko and noticed how tired he looked,“What’s wrong with you?” He asked.“I’m just tired.” Niko retorted.A yawn escaped his lips before he finally carried his suitcase and walked up the stairs to his room. They still had three hours before dinner, he should take a nap and then come t
“Good morning.” Niko greeted as he walked inside the house.There was no one to give him reply, making him yawn out and drop his suitcase on the chair. The night meeting had taken him to midnight and he could not risk driving back home since he was so tired. He slept in the hotel that they did the meeting and woke up late this morning to start coming home.“Is anyone in this house?” He yelled out again.But still there was no reply. He climbed the stairs and made his way to knock on reynas room when he remembered that today was the weekend.“Have your beauty sleep well.” He muttered before stumbling towards his room.He had talked his way to the woman's heart before she decided on giving them the deal. She was a talker, and also a good listener. He made sure to say everything she wanted to hear and she finally gave them the deal. Now, all he had to do was branch the company and submit the document to Lucas before taking his flight.“Arghhhh!!” He groaned out as he stretched his body.
“So after all the banging and waking us up, there’s no single food that we can eat in this house?” Niko asked as he got downstairs.“I was actually waiting for you to come and help us with that, and since you’re here. Let’s start. I’ll watch and learn today.” Reyna smiled at him before hopping to the kitchen.Niko looked at her with squinted eyes before sighing. Thank God he hasn’t taken his bath, if not, he was sure he would take another one before leaving.“I’ll join too. I want to learn how to cook!” Alan yelled from the sideline.Niko nodded before leading them to the kitchen.“What do you all want to eat today? Whatever you want to eat would be prepared.” He said as he turned to face them.“The simplest and fastest breakfast. I have somewhere I need to be so I can’t be late.” Reyna smiled at him before walking to the dining table.Niko just looked at her, sighed and shook his head before starting to cook. He should have known it was a trap and she wouldn’t join him in cooking.“D
Niko got into the car as his driver drove out of the little motel they had asked him to come. His hand clenched the paper in his hands with a surge of victory, and also a nostalgic sense of foreboding washing over him. He was now dealing with an underground man, someone with connections and wouldn’t think twice before killing someone. His mind went to Reyna and Alan whom he had left at home and the word of Alvarez rang in his ears,“…a girlfriend who has a little brother.”How did he find this out in a short period? They scheduled the meeting the last two days, where they had gotten to know each other and now he knows about Reyna and Alan. But he also knew he had a younger brother. He didn’t dig into it, but Lucas had mentioned it to him this morning before he climbed the plane and told him to be careful because the man was a dangerous pest.“For someone called dangerous, he doesn’t exactly wear it.” Hr muttered before opening the file he got from them.And on top of it was the transf
“Fine! Fine! You don’t have to shout like I’m doing one big favor to you guys! Like I promised, I’ll come to check on you every week if I’m lucky and you must call me everyday.” Reyna yelled at them.“Yes boss!” Both Niko and Alan yelled out playfully.She scorned them before tapping her hand on her chin, thinking of what else she could use as a criteria.“No disturbing the old man! No trouble! Listen when you’re being taught and don’t go past anywhere they don’t put you okay?” She added as Alan nodded joyfully.“Is that all?” Niko interrupted with a mocking smile.“You’re supposed to help me, not like joining hands.” She muttered before rubbing her forehead.“I wouldn’t have released him if I didn’t have things to work on. Immediately, I’m done sorting my things out, I'm coming to get him, so don’t think you won over this.” She pointed a finger to Nikos eyes as a smile bloomed over his face.“Calm down mum. He’s going to be fine, my grandfather is not a dragon or a wolf, he’s going
“I had so much fun today that I think I’m going to puke.” Alan said happily from the back of the car, his tongue licking the depth of the lollipop in his hands.Reyna just stared out of the window, her head bobbing up and down to the sound of the music. Things were getting good for her, and she loved it. There was a time where she couldn’t sit in a car with Niko like this without frowning, or without him trying to make fun of her.“What are you thinking about?” She heard the devil's voice, tilting her head to look at him.“Nothing. Just thanking God for where I am now.” She smiled at him before learning to change the music.“Now you know all the tracks on my phone, impressing on how you catch up quickly.” He winked at her as he swerved to another side.Reyna just smiled as the next song played, this time she bobbed her head up and down faster than before, and she could also hear Alan’s voice from the back of the car, singing along to the song.“……we put the good in the good in the goo
“Is everything ready? Your bag? Your things? Where is your phone Alan!” Reyna yelled out.“It’s already in my backpack!” Alan yelled back.Reyna sighed before carrying his suitcase, it wasn’t a rolling one so she had to carry it on her shoulder.“Let me help you with that.” Niko said as he came out of his room.Reyna smiled at him before dropping the bag on the floor.“Thank you. I didn’t know we got a lot for him, it looks like he has the whole thing he’ll ever need in his bag already.” Reyna joked as Niko lifted the bag with one hand.“Please don’t try to show off. If not that I 'm tired already, I can carry the bag by myself.” Reyna eyed him before walking down the stairs.Alan was seated on the couch, packing some of his things back into the backpack that Niko had gotten him.“This is nice. I didn’t notice it was this beautiful.” Reyna chimed in as her smile lit up her face.“My grandfather had called me more than ten times, asking if we’re on the way. We have to go.” Niko said.A
