WAVES

CHAPTER ONE

I woke up with an intense scream, "whatever that means is just my imagination" I concluded with a sigh about the nightmare I had, it has seemed very real this time unlike other times.
I stood up and wandered to the kitchen for something to drink, the scream has left my throat dry and patchy.

" you have hidden for a very long time but I will definitely find you one day. The time of reckoning is near and I will retake what is mine"

I reminsced over the nightmare I had and how real the voice was. I had learnt to control my emotions when I get these nightmares but I was really shaken up by this,  so I did what I always do.
I bite into the apple I picked from the fruit basket while waiting for my best friend to answer her call

" Roxie , I had one of the nightmares and this time it was so real"

" sweetie, it's just a dream and your imagination made you think it's real"

Roxie had being the only friend apart from my mum that had any idea that I have nightmares and she understood my hesitation in discussing about it.

" meet me at that fancy restaurant downtown that you love at 3ish," Roxie requested.
" and oh Brenda, you ain't permitted to ditch"
Roxie hung up and I decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood because I'm obviously not going back to sleep.

I got to work feeling exhausted and tired from not having slept.
" morning Matt, morning Frannie, hello Helen " I greeted my employees  while I walked to my office.

Of course, I'm the owner of Exquisite  magazine, one of the upcoming magazines that is becoming more popular and obviously I had to look good in everything I do.

"Elsie, cancel all the appointments I have today,  I need to be alone" I instructed my PA before closing the office door behind me.

I spent the day in my office going through some files and drink coffee so as not to fall asleep cuz I seriously deserve one. I only left the office few minutes to 3pm to meet Roxie.

" wow bitch, you're look like your were shipwrecked" Roxie teased.

" jeez,  you're such a great friend "
Roxie ordered for the both of us while openly flirting with the waiter and when the waiter left,  she suddenly turned serious

" girl,  you're need to cool off, while not go to somewhere of your choice, visit exciting places, you're the boss anyway if your work will get in the way " Roxie implied.

I nodded because it was obvious Roxie won't take no for an answer. We  talked about her newest fuck mate while we ate.

I had to drive Roxie home cuz she was drunk from consuming alot of alcohol,  she made me pinky promise to take some time off before she got down from the car with a goodnight kiss on the cheek.
I rolled my eyes and drove off.
