REDEMPTION (Book 1, Redemption Series)

Chapter 3: Homecoming (Part2)

Jonathan's POV.

Left alone in the car, I decided to catch up on some work-related phone calls, emails, and voicemails while waiting for their return.

After making and receiving several calls and voicemails, one of which was from my sister, I was finally ready to put my phone down and call it a day. Although, something about Emily's voicemail is still bugging me.

I must have been really out of it while thinking about Emily's message, because when I came to it, Lance was helping Mrs Cooper put some luggage into the trunk of the car.

As I stepped out of the car, I heard my driver laughing loudly. And Mrs Cooper wasn't talking, so I will assume the young lady beside her shrugging off what seems to be a backpack must be responsible for Lance's laughter.

I guess she is the sister then? She's everything her sister said she is, physically. She's dressed in a pair of something similar to pajamas but much more stylish, high-knee boots and a Bennie covering her thick Burnett hair.

'Hmmm, Africa's weather must be kind to the skin.' I thought, looking at her glowing skin.

My heart started beating weirdly at the sight of her almost-covered hair I raised my hand without realizing what I was doing. I caressed my chest, trying to wipe the strange feeling off but nothing worked.

"Hope we didn't take too long, Mr Snow?" Mrs Cooper's voice brought me out of my little dilemma.

"You guys are back already?" I muttered stupidly as they both laughed; even Lance was trying not to laugh as he hid it with a smile. What was wrong with me today?

"Isabella meet my boss, Mr Snow. He offered to come get you from the airport." She lifted her right arm towards me with a smile as I returned the handshake.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person, Mr Snow, and thank you for the ride. Her smooth, friendly voice was like music to my ears as she gripped my palm in a warm handshake.

"You should be thanking your sister. She does put up with me every day, and please call me Jonathan." Both sisters laughed again before the younger woman turned to her sister and said...

"You were right about him, sis. He's as good as they come, even though he doesn't know it." I raised my brows at both of them curiously, and the younger woman laughed before saying..."All good things, I promise."

I sighed in relief while she laughed at my expression. The sound of her voice though. I immediately thought 'Please don't stop laughing'

Would somebody kill me, please?

I was still stuck in my thoughts when Mrs Cooper said she needed to use the ladies' room before we began the trip back home, and I sighed in relief at the interruptions.
