"CALL me as soon as you get there, ok?" Rina looked at her friend with Soo much emotion, her tears were even threatening to slip out.
"This is the second time you've said this Rina" Bethel sighed, she was only going to be in Israel for 2weeks, it wasn't like it was the end of the world. But knowing Rina it sure as hell felt like it.
"I know, I'm sounding like an over worried mother, but I'm really going to miss you that's why, 2weeks Beth, 2 bloody weeks, I won't be able to survive on my own chica" dramatically Rina placed her hand on her heart.
"I know you won't be able to" Bethel joked "you're lucky it's just for two weeks and not a month, we both know you can't live without me"she chuckled , looking at her best friend with amusement.
"Hardy har har" Rina deadpanned.
"Don't worry I promise to call you immediately I land, now bye...for the 5th time" Bethel hugged her friend, kissed her cheeks and then proceeded to go and board her plane.
"Good day passenger, this is your pilot speaking, flight A16 is about to depart, please fasten your seatbelts for take off" as Bethel finished with her seatbelt, she felt eyes on her so she looked up and to her surprise she saw a man wearing a Black hoodie looking at her from the other roll, the hoodie covered most of his face and for some reason the only thing she could see were his lips, might I add Pink edible lips.
Bethel was a little creeped out that a stranger was openly staring at her, but then suddenly the stranger turns his face from her direction, which eased the little tension in the pit of her stomach.
..............
Seker was pissed, he was outraged, yet he was curious that's why he found himself on a plane to Jerusalem. It's still a wonder to him of why on fuck sakes he is going all the way to Africa.
He was pissed at the world itself, outraged at his father and Soo damn curious about a particular human female. The day Seker found out about this female he wasn't going to lie, he was very much shocked. A very own gift from his father, what was the old man playing at?. He has been trying to find possible explanations for his father's actions, but to no avail.
Seker made sure to piss his father more, out of all his brothers. You could even call him the prodigal son. So why on the fuckrey of fucks would his father give him a gift of his own, his father could give him a gift alright but not a gift like this, Destruction could be more of a deserved gift to be honest. He almost destroyed the whole universe at one point in time, so he really didn't see any reason why his old man even kept him alive still.
He looked at Bethel through his side, so she won't notice his stare. After the first day he saw Bethel he followed her back to her apartment after he finished his reaping of soul.
He followed her back home because he was curious about his gift, and why on Earth his father will choose a mere human being as his gift, he wanted to find out what was Soo special about her, and when he found out what made her special let's just say he wasn't very pleased. From all the people she had to be 'her' daughter, now he knows for sure his father was really messing with him.
Looking at her again, he had to be honest with himself, the girl was definitely sin in a skirt. She was beautiful no doubt with the most alluring green eyes he had ever come across of. To put it in simple words Hanna was a stunning female.
He focused his attention back at her when he saw her stand up, probably to use the restroom.
Straighting her skirt a little Bethel went to the restroom, not to use the convenience oh no, but to ease up all the tension. She's been feeling that the hooded man has been staring at her Since she boarded the plane. He might have been doing it discreetly but to no avail, because she could easily detect when and when not he was staring at her.
After splashing a little water on her face, she decided to journey back to her seat. As soon as she sat down her eyes Having a mind of there own decided to seek the hooded stranger, and to her surprise he wasn't seated were he was some minutes ago.
"Good day once again passengers, this is your pilot speaker. Please everyone fasten your seatbelts once again, we are about to land. I repeat please fasten your seatbelts" hearing the pilots words, Bethel almost immediately forgot all about the strange man and did as the pilot instructed.
Not few minutes later the plane touched down. Another few minutes followed and passengers started filling out of the plane.
On getting inside the airport Bethel began to look for her aunt that was too come and pick her up. Unluckyly for her the airport was packed full making the level of difficulty of looking for her aunt to increase.
But also fortunately she heard her name being shouted over all the crowd.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Bethel!, Bethel honey over here" turning around to face the source, she found herself looking at a smallish woman In her late thirties smiling at her with a huge boldly written sign saying 'welcome home Bethel'. Smiling widely herself, Bethel trekked the short distance to meet the woman.
Hugging the woman tightly she says "Hey aunt Vicky" her father's sister Victoria was without any doubt her favorite aunt ever. She was like her second mother.
"Bethel it's been Soo long dear, you don't visit quite often like before love. I've missed you dearly child" smiling cheekly at her Bethel responded "was it me you missed or my fluffy pancakes?" Raising her eyebrow playfully she asked.
"Ah I think it's a bit of both, you know on a second thought I believe it's your pancakes I've missed more" Victoria joked
Laughing lightly Bethel then told Victoria that they should be making there way to the car since the airport was crowded.
So while in the car her aunt asked
"So how's Elliot doing, some brother he is, can't even check up on his sister?. I haven't talked to him in some weeks now, because he hasn't called me back. You know how international calls are incredibly expensive"
"Oh he is doing ok all the way in Malibu, he sends his apologizes" the truth was that my Dad was coming to Jerusalem in three weeks time to surprise my aunt, although I'd be back in New York by then.
"He even sent me package to give to you" I continued
"A package huh" Victoria said raising a curious eyebrow. "I wonder what it could be"
"Don't worry I assure you, you will most definitely like it" Bethel chuckled knowingly.
"Hmm, ok if you say so" Victoria smiled.
.................
When they reached Victorias home. Bethel was given a warm welcome by Richard her aunt's husband And children.
After dinner, Bethel decided it was best for her to retire for the night since she had an appointment tomorrow. The main reason she came to Jerusalem In the first place was to meet the CEO of a well know firm through out the world. She was very escalated that she was going to be given an appearance with the CEO, because things like this comes once in a lifetime.
Because after submitting an application years ago to be able to work at this particular firm, it was like a dream come through when she got a personal Letter back from them, she was asked to come to there branch in Jerusalem first before she would be transferred to the main branch in New York.
The way things were going she felt like she had a guardian angel 24/7 with her. First of all after she got fired from her old job she almost immediately got this news from this firm telling her to come to Jerusalem and luckily for her it wasn't hard for her to find accomodation because her aunt 'coincidentally' stays in the same city. If you don't think this is the work of an Angel I don't know what to tell you.
.........
The next day....
Tapping her legs nervously on the ground, Bethel looked around the waiting room noticing how luxurious it was. Were waiting rooms meant to be this fancy she thought to herself.
"Miss George Mr Hamilton will see you now" a lady wearing a very professional atire walked in and said to her.
Smiling nervously at the woman Bethel stood up shakyly "Thank you" she said.
Walking up to the big mahogany door, Bethel was still wondering why on Earth the CEO of this well known Firm, would take his precious time to be the one to interview her, I mean he has employed people to do that for him. And the other burning question in her mind was, why would the CEO be in this small branch. Aren't CEO's meant to be in the main branch, this is the first Case she has seen.
Pushing all those nagging questions at the back of her head, mustering Little of her courage left she opened the door.
One word to describe the office 'Exquisite'. The office was not too big nor was it small in anyway it was the perfect blend. Different art works hung on the wall, the theme of the office was black and brown, those colours may seem boring but after looking at this office let's just say your preferred taste might just change completely.
Finally focusing her attention on the figure sitting on the chair behind the mahogany large table. The CEO gestured for her to sit.
After taking a seat he finally spoke.
"Good day Miss George, sorry to keep you waiting for that much time" a smooth yet rough velvety voice spoke. The tone of his voice almost threw Bethel into a trans.
Clearing her throat she finally responded. "Not at all sir the wait wasn't that long" who was she fuckin kidding, of course she waited more than a bloody hour but she was sane enough not to complain about it.
"I see" was his short reply.
Something was still bothering her though, because since she came into the office she hasn't been able to get a good look at the CEO's face, which was very odd because there was a lot of illumination in the office but for some reason it was like a shadow was cast upon his face, blocking it from her view.
".......... Bethel"
Coming back to reality after hearing her name, she turned her attention back to the man behind the desk.
"Miss George did you get anything I just said" Bethel was both relieved and embarrassed at the Same time. Relieved because for a second there she thought she heard Mr Hamilton say her christian name, but she heard wrong, I mean why on Earth would he even call her that, they are in a professional setting after all. And she was beyond embarrassed because she wasn't listening to what he was saying.
Blushing profoundly she muttered a 'No' and to her surprise she heard a deep chuckle.
"Quite an interesting Human I might say" she heard him mutter. Frowning, she looked at him questionly.
That didn't last for long though because all of a sudden he began to lean his head forward making the 'still questionable' shadow to begin to fade away from his face. The first thing Bethel could see were his lips which strangely reminded her of the creepy stranger with the hood that was on the plane with her, waving that thought out of her head, the second thing was his nose, well defined and prominent, his eyes followed, goldish blue were the colors, the colors screamed mystical, it was Soo out of this world yet beautiful all the same. Then finally I could see his hair, fuckin silky and I don't mean gel silky nah I mean natural silky, it was a mixture of dark brown and gold which curled at the tips.
Bethel was at loss for words looking at this very much alive Adonis, he could easily be the most beautiful man on Earth. And she could in turn easily agree. The man was unbelievably handsome in every way possible.
"I asked if you could start work immediately" he repeated what he said before with an amused expression plastered on his face.
Exhaling softly she finally spoke.
"Of course sir I can start as soon as possible"
