killing for love

Zachery POV

It was like any other day except for the fact that I was coming home, I have been waiting for this day since I left 3 months ago.

I had needed to take care of things down-country not that I was against it but it did make me miss home and my family.

I just left the airport when I saw Dan, my right-hand man and when it came to business being partners. he was leaning against the black SUV looking up in the sky lost in thought. it wasn’t long before I was in front of him, I guess long legs do come in handy.

“what are you looking at?” I asked, knowing very well what the answer was.

“huh..” he said and looked at me “dude, what the heck?” he then looked at his watch “you are 30 seconds late”

“yeah yeah... I missed you too”

I reached both my arms around him for a brotherly side-hug which he did return but gently patting my back.

I put my bag in the backseat and took a seat in the passenger seat. “so.. what happened when I was gone?” I asked

“not much..” he replied stealing a quick glance before his eyes went back to the road. The rest of the ride was silent which I liked since I was feeling tired.

It was not long before we turned into the driveway, where I pretty much ran inside forgetting everything including my bag since my mind was on my bed. I went in and ran upstairs and went inside my room, quickly discarding my clothes leaving me in my boxers, and just jumped into bed falling asleep right away.

After a good 6 or more hours I woke up. I took a shower to get rid of both the sleepiness and tiredness and wore sweats since I was alone I didn’t really need to look good. I had come back 2 days early so I could rest a while before going to meet my family.

don’t get me wrong... I love my family and we have a good relationship but if I were to meet them now experiencing the jet lag I’m sure I would say or do a few things I would regret so why take the chance?

I went downstairs and saw a box on the kitchen counter and saw a note on top. “thought you would like to eat something,” the note said and I guess my stomach agreed since it gave a rumble.

It has been a few days and I decided to visit my parents today, I went into the garage and removed the clothes off my beauty... 100 bucks on that you expecting a bike but no my baby is a car. a BMW i8 when I saw it in a magazine I fell in love with it. I started saving money for it, At work, I quickly got to a higher position and therefore was able to save money also fast and my parents covering other expenses helped then I was able to buy it at 24

I oned the ignition and practically broke more than a few speed limits and got to my parent’s house where I was greeted by my parents. and apparently, my younger brother is attending University.

Is it weird that I feel old? it seemed only yesterday when I saw my mother on the hospital bed with my baby brother in her arms.

My mother told me that he was finishing in a few hours and that I could pick him up, so I spent some time with them catching up on what happened while I was gone and also how my life was. my mother tried to get any updates on her granddaughter soon but seeing my frown which I meant to be in the nicest way possible she changed the subject which I appreciate.

I also want to live my life alongside my family but with the type of work I'm in, and right now it's not safe at least for the next couple of months so I basically put it in the back of my mind and threw myself into work.

I looked at the time and saw that I should leave now if I didn’t want to get caught in traffic so I told my goodbyes to my parents who told me to be safe and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek got in the car and left.

the car was not long but definitely not short either because my parents live a little outside the city to my mother’s wishes of living a peaceful and quiet life whereas I live in a penthouse in the city which is peaceful and quiet but not too far because of the commute to work.

I parked outside since I arrived early and stayed in the car for a few minutes checking my phone before heading inside. My mum had told me that Shawn my younger brother stays for after-hour classes for about an hour or 2 and she also told him to go to room 206 as that would be where he is and he often gets engrossed in the lesson and forgets the time.

I don’t get how you get engrossed in a lesson because I used to sleep my ass off in class when I was in college for 2 reasons,.. 1 because I would stay up trying to finish assignments cause I was a last-minute type of student and 2,.. the lessons were BOR...ING as hell.

and it seemed that he was getting late seeing it was 10 minutes past the time my mum told me so I went into the old building and walked the hallways till I found the door which had in bronze bold letters 206...

I knocked but no answer, I put my ear against it to hear talking between a male and female but no one answered the door. I knocked again but no one answered... I was getting a little agitated but I raised my hand to knock again and just as I was about to the door opened

I felt my heartbeat spike up and up. I saw a 5′8 or 10, medium brown hair, lady in her 20s with tan skin making it a light shade of caramel with captivating green forest eyes that keep me awake at night.

I froze.
