Falling to where I belong

I stepped out of a black limousine car perfectly dressed in a black tuxedo suit as the guard opened the door for me. I adjusted my clothes properly as the CEO of Smith Enterprises company. I shook my head with a sigh as I stared at the company building. A black briefcase was in my hand.

"Good morning sir," one of the staff greeted with her head bow. I nodded at her with a soft smile, though I was maintaining the strict and stoic expression of a CEO. As a CEO of any company you don't have to be open with your staff. You have to be strict with them sometimes. She collected the briefcase from me with a bow.

"Good morning sir," the staff in the company chorused. I smiled broadly at them, acknowledging their greetings.

"Take it to my office," I said, and she nodded her head. She walked away to my office with the briefcase. I walked toward the CEO's private elevator. I pressed some button on it and walked into the elevator.

Ding ding. The elevator sounded as it took me to the fifth floor leading to my office. I walked into my office and sat down on the swivel chair. I spotted the briefcase lying on the couch in my office. I shook my eyes with a sigh as my eyes landed on the files and documents lying on the transparent table. It was pretty much. The work was really much.

I went through the files and documents and shook my head with a sigh. My day is going to be as hectic and hard as it used to be since I became the CEO. Going through the files, I jerked my head with a sigh. The files and documents really matter a lot. I picked up a blue pen and signed the necessary documents which required my signature. I went through some of the files and signed my signature on the files, approving some of the business meeting schedule that I had with some of the tycoons and influential business partners.

I walked out of my office to the conference hall. I'm having a meeting with one of the best companies in the country. We are having a huge collaboration with the company which will have a great impact in the country and would result in a positive boost of our goodwill. The collaboration would promote the company to a higher level so I had no alternative than to accept it. I have to make my parents proud and happy for me. I would make sure that they won't regret ever handing the company to me.

I walked out of the company in the middle of the night. I placed my hand on my forehead as I felt a sting of pain in my head. I wasn't surprised anymore because I do have this kind of headache every single day in the company. It has been like a daily routine for me for the past few months. The work has been piling up a lot lately. Would my day be any better? I thought to myself and shook my head with a sigh.

My parents were also worried about how I overworked myself concerning the company. The weather was cold and chilly, there weren't many people outside. I brought out the car keys from my pocket, and the car beeped as I pressed a button on it. I dropped the briefcase beside me in the driver seat, ignited the engine of the car and drove out of the compound speedily.

Getting to the mansion, I stepped out of the car with the briefcase in my head. Everywhere was silent and dark, the only source of illumination was the lights around the mansion. It was only the sound of cricket could be heard, and the chirping sound of the lovely birds. My legs made an echo sound as I walked into the house. I shook my head with a sigh as my eyes landed on my mother who was lying on the couch in the guest room, patiently waiting for me. She was deeply asleep and I wouldn't want to disturb her. I plant a soft kiss on her forehead and ascend the stairs, leading to my room.

I walked into my room and switched on the lights in the room. My room lit up with golden lights. I heaved out a sigh of relief and pulled off my clothes. I dropped the briefcase on the table. I was left with a white singlet which exposed my perfect and muscular abs. I do work out and have some exercises during my leisure time but it seems after I became the CEO I wasn't given any chance to do exercise or work out. I'm always busy all day. I walked into the bathroom and had a quick bath.

I walked out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed and good. I walked to the wardrobe and brought out my pyjamas. I put it on and brought out the Apple laptop in my briefcase. I sat on a chair with the laptop in my lap. I operate on it, performing some certain work which is to be done tonight. I looked up as I noticed a presence in my front. It was my mother, it seems she has been standing in front of me for a while but I was too engrossed in the work to notice her.

"Good evening mum,"I said, and dropped the laptop on the table. Covering the distance between us, I pulled her into a hug.

"Evening mum, even though this is almost 12 am,"she said with a worried look, and I sighed.

"Why are you like this? You should be sleeping," she said, sounding sad.

"I'm sorry mum but I have to finish off this job right now. It is very important," I said, and she shook her head negatively.

"No, don't give me that. Even when your father was the CEO he never overworked himself like you are doing," she said, sounding somehow angry and annoyed.

"I'm glad that you know that your son is hardworking and not a lazy ass,"I said, but she looked at me with her expression void and blank. I couldn't read through her expression. She does give me this look whenever she isn't pleased with me.

"You are right mum. But the work is too much recently and I have to finish it off," I said, and she shook her head.

"That is the reason why you should have an assistant who will assist you in some certain work. It will ease the stress of working yourself out," she said.

"I know mum, I agree with you. I am also finding an assistant for myself already but nobody has catched my eye so far. But don't worry I am going to do an interview again soon." I said, and she smiled at me. I agreed instantly without giving it any thoughts because I didn't want to make her stay another night waiting for me.

"Thanks son. I should take my leave but you should sleep. Leave whatever thing you are doing right now,"she said, and I let out a sigh in defeat.

"Okay mum, I would do as you have told," I said, and planted a kiss on her forehead. She shook her head with a sigh, and walked out of my room. I shook my head with a soft sigh, and sat down on a chair. I faced the laptop and operated on it.

The next morning, I woke up to the bright morning of the day. It was a pleasant day. The chirping sound of the birds echo heavily everywhere. I rubbed my eyes with my palm. My eyes were heavy and my vision was blurry. My body was aching. Yesterday was really stressful and hard. My day was really bad. I lifted up from the bed and did a silent prayer. I climbed down from bed and put on flip flops. I pulled off the night pyjamas and dropped it in a clothes rack. I walked into the bathroom.

I switched on the shower. I ran my hand through my long hair as water flowed down to my face. Then I brushed my teeth before switching it off and shoved myself into the jacuzzi tub which had been filled with warm water. I grab a fragrance soap and scrub my body for a while before rinsing my body. I stayed beneath the water for like almost an hour. My head was hurting in pain. I stood up from the jacuzzi with water dripping from my body, reached for a white towel beside me and wrapped it around my waist together with my chest region, walked out of the bathroom with a huff sound. I walked toward the wardrobe at the left side of my direction, pulled it open and brought out a red wine tuxedo suit and a black pair of shoes .I slammed the door shut and put on the clothes which fitted me perfectly.

I adjusted my clothes and walked out of my room.

~~~

Driving to the company in a black Lexus RX car. A cup of coffee was in my left hand while driving the steering wheel with my right hand just like I do everyday. I'm addicted to the style of drinking coffee while driving. It has become a part of me.

It was a pretty normal day. Everything was going smoothly, different people going to their various workplaces. As much as everything seemed to be good and smooth, there was something odd about it. The sky darkened with heavy thunderstorm in the sky. It is really strange. It wasn't in one of my daily loops. I slowed down the windscreen of the car and looked outside as I sighted a blue unknown light moving down from the sky to earth, to my direction precisely at an unimaginable speed. Before I could think of turning the steering, I heard a huge sound at the front of my car. It caused an earthquake. Feeling anxious and scared, I walked out of the car to find out what fell in front of my car.

I was shocked to discover that it was a young lady. Oh my God! I looked around to see if there were any buildings nearby. To my utmost surprise you couldn't find any building around.

Where did she fall from? Did she just fall down from the sky?

Adam

I stood transfixed to the ground like I was electrocuted. I'm really shocked by that expectation. I was shocked that I had to stare at the girl in complete shock. I could feel a different sparkle of shock run down my spine. I'm still in a great dilemma, I find it hard to believe that she just fell down for the sky. I couldn't fathom how she fell down from the sky. I stood still, staring at her with complete shock. This is really more than my imagination. I couldn't believe this. I stood with my legs, wobbling in fear.

What makes the situation more crazy and complicated is that I couldn't find any house or anything near that she could fall down from. I looked around, it was only a matter of seconds. We were surrounded by many people, some were panicking in fear as well.

"What's wrong with her? What happened to her?" These were the questions thrown at me. To avert their questions and gaze on me. I took the bold step. I quickly carried her in a bridal style and laid her in the backseat. I sat in the driver seat and reversed the car, then drove speedily to the nearest hospital in the community.

Wasn't it too great? I have a headache. Before that I was thinking of having a rest. Now I have to manage to get myself into an accident. Yes it was an accident, I just couldn't tell the police that she fell from the sky because it is impossible and unbelievable.

Getting to the gate of the hospital, I pressed the horn button of the car and almost immediately the gate pulled open. I drove speedily and crazily into the hospital compound. I parked skillfully at the parking lot and stepped on the brake of the car. I stepped out of the car and carried her in a bridal style out of the car. She was unconscious. Looking at her clearly, she was beautiful and cute. Her beauty seems to be out of this world. I was really mesmeriseda by her beauty. I was jolted out of my reverie as a nurse rushed to me.

"Bring the stretcher right now,"I said, hurriedly.

"What's wrong with her?"she asked with a worried look. I stared at her with an angry look.

"I don't know and don't ask me. Save her before questioning me. Get the stretcher right now,"I yelled out at her, and she shook her head in fear. She was scared at the way I sounded. She rushed into the hospital but before she could bring the stretcher. I walked into the main building of the hospital.

"Direct me to any vacant ward right now," I said and a nurse directed me to a vacant ward. I walked into the ward and stared at the girl in my arms in surprise. I could feel and hear her heart bear sounding rapidly. How did she manage to be this strong? I couldn't help but ask myself. She really seems mysterious to me. I dropped her on the bed, and almost immediately two nurses and the doctor walked in to treat her.

"Mr Smith please kindly leave for us to start the necessary treatment on her," the doctor said, pointing at the door as he removed the stethoscope around his neck and placed it on the girl's chest. I shook my head with a sigh and walked out of the ward.

I sat on a vacant chair outside the ward, waiting patiently for the doctor to treat her so that I could leave. I just want her to be fine before I leave for work. I looked up as I heard footsteps approaching me. It was the cop. They were in their uniforms.

"Good morning Mr Smith,"the two policemen said, and we both did a handshake.

"Morning, Mr John," he was the only policeman that I know between the two.

"You must have known why I'm here, Mr Smith, let's go straight to the point so that we would be able to return to our work," Mr John said, and I nodded my head affirmatively.

"You want to ask about what had happened in Patrick street right?" I asked, and they nodded their heads affirmatively to my statement.

"Yes, you are right and we would like you to explain to us in detail. We would really appreciate it," the police said, and I rubbed my hand on my chin, thinking of what I could tell them that would be contradictory to what happened because it is almost impossible.

"Well, I was driving my car to my office when-" I couldn't complete my statement as the door creaked open. The doctor walked out of the ward and came into view. I'm glad that he came right now because I don't know what explanation I could give to the policemen.

"The patient you brought. She is fine and conscious now which means you can go and talk to her. You are free to meet her," the doctor hummed , and walked away with the two nurses behind him. I stared at the doctor with a confused look. I mean it wasn't an hour until she came to the hospital. How come she recovered and gained consciousness so fast? I couldn't help but ask myself.

"Okay, doctor. Thanks for the information," I said, and stood up from the chair. I walked into the ward with the cops behind me. I stared at the strange lady on the bed. She was bandaged, and there was a pipe connected to her hand. She doesn't look horribly injured as she is supposed to. I'm dreaming or am I hallucinating? I couldn't help but ask myself. Though she was with all those injuries, she was looking very cheerful, energetic, and pretty ironic. She doesn't look like someone who fell down from the sky.

"Hello. I'm glad that you look better. We want to ask some certain things from you, and we would appreciate it if you tell us everything in detail," Mr John said, and the girl smiled at the cop.

"Okay, you can go ahead" she said, and I couldn't help but stare at her with surprise. Her accent doesn't seem to belong to our city, heck I have roamed around the world but I haven't listened to this accent ever. Where did she come from? I couldn't help but question myself.

"Well we want to ask a simple question. We want to ask about the accident. Where did you fall down from?" he asked, and she smiled.

"Well, actually I came from the sky and accidently had a crash landing which doesn't seem to be pleasant," she said, and we stared at her with a confused look. The silence and intensity in the room was really much. How on earth would she fall down from the sky? I had known that she fell from the sky but I couldn't believe that it wasn't my hallucination but it was the reality. Silence engulfed the room as we stared at her with a shock expression.

"Well, actually I mean that I fell down from a building rooftop,"she said, and they all heaved out a sigh of relief. It looked like she understood what she said. Though there wasn't any building as far as I could remember but I decided not to question her, maybe I was the one who didn't notice a building there. I couldn't help but wonder who the hell she was.

"Are you sure you fell by yourself and nobody else forced you? You can tell us the truth, you are safe here." The police spoke in a gentle tone. She laughed slightly.

"Of Course not, nobody was even on the rooftop at that time. I just wanted some fresh air but clumsy me, I fell down." She giggled.

"Okay, thanks for the information. We would take our leave," the cops said, and she smiled broadly at them.

"Goodbye, sir" I said, and shook hands with them. We exchanged pleasantries, and they walked out of the ward. I stared at the lady with a last glance and walked out of the ward.

I settled all the bails and the provision she might need for any day she would use in the hospital. I drop my contact in case they need anything concerning her. I walked out of the hospital, and walked up to my car. I entered the car, ignited the engine and drove out of the hospital to my office. I hope I will be able to attend the meeting. It is one hour and thirty minutes past the time I had scheduled to have a meeting with my business partner. They might have left out of anger. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't saved that mysterious girl.

Getting to my office, I drove speedily into the company compound and parked skillfully at the parking lot. I stepped out of the car with a black briefcase. I walked into the company, my secretary quickly rushed toward me and collected the briefcase from my hand.

"Welcome sir. Where have you been sir?"she asked, but I didn't reply to her.

"So did we lose them?"I asked, and she nodded her head affirmatively.

"Yes, sir. We lost the contract,"she said but I didn't show any sign of discomfort even though it hurt me. I had to lose a huge contract because of that girl.

"Okay so what else is available?"I asked.

"There are some certain documents that require your signature, sir" I nodded my head and walked into my office.

There were a lot of files and documents on the table, waiting for me to attend to. I sat on the chair and worked on it. After a few hours of working on the files and documents. I put some certain files and documents that I'm yet to attend to. I walked out of my office with my black briefcase. Getting to my secretary's office. She bowed her head in respect as she noticed my presence.

"I need another assistant and I want you to start the interview for those who are interested from the day after tomorrow,"I said and she nodded her head affirmatively.

With that, I end my day with the same daily routine.

Adam

I woke up due to the sound of my alarm which I set earlier that night. I wanted to wake up early to go to my company earlier than usual. I wanted to interview the applicants who wanted to apply for the job at my company today. I don't want just anybody to be my personal assistant, I want someone who will be dedicated to the job like I always do. I want someone who will make the company his/her top priority, and I won't hesitate to fire any of the workers who will alter that. I slammed it shut with my hands, and I stood up from the bed. I stretched my body with a yawn. I rubbed my eyes with my fingers trying to clear away the dizziness in my eyes.

I walked into the bathroom, and I brushed my teeth before having my bath. I scrubbed my body with the sponge, and I washed the water away in the shower. I walked out of the bathroom with water dripping down my body and air, and I dried my body with a towel which was tied on my waist. I applied my body lotion on my body and I stared at my huge biceps as I rubbed the lotion on my body.

I walked into my closets and wore my clothes before walking out of my room with my car keys and a black briefcase case. I walked into the dining room, and a smile was plastered on my face when I didn't see my mum at the dining table.

I was happy she wasn't there to disturb me over the workload issue, and the maids served my food when they saw me at the dining table. I ate my food silently as I gazed through the screen of my phone. I returned my phone into my pocket after I finished eating my food. I looked at my front and saw a cup which I guess was filled with coffee. I walked toward the garage where I chose a red sports car out of the fleet of cars I have. I entered the car and I placed the cup beside me. I ignited the engine, and I filled the cup. I placed the tip of the cup on my lip as I sip the drink.

I gulped down the little amount of coffee which I had just sipped from the cup, and it was hot but nevertheless I drank it. It was always my routine to drink coffee while driving because I can't afford to fall asleep while driving and at the office. I knew I don't sleep regularly which was due to the workload in the office. I don't want to fall asleep in my office, and if I do, the staff will also sleep when they are on duty. They would think they can sleep at work.

I drove out of the compound with the cup still on my hand, and as I was driving through the busy road when I sighted a young boy rushed toward the front of my car that I almost collided with the boy if not that I quickly served the car to one side of the road. I quickly placed the cup down and I covered the cup.

I quickly came out of the car angrily with a frown on my face. I couldn't understand why someone like him would want to get himself killed. He is young and vibrant, so why would he want to kill himself? I need to find out from him.

"Please help me, help me! Help me!" He cried out as he walked up to me. I was shocked by his outburst, and I couldn't believe that this young man would ask me to help him but nevertheless I will help him if I can.

"Wh..." I was about to ask about what he wanted when I saw the girl I helped yesterday. My eyes widened in shock as I saw the way she was running. She ran as if she was part of the air, and she rushed toward the man with an incredible speed and she grabbed his collar without stress yanking the guy off his feet.

I looked at the girl surprised with my mouth agape, I couldn't understand how she ran so fast and to top it all she was injury free. She suffered so many injuries yesterday when she fell on the bonnet of my car. I looked at her confusedly trying to understand how she got that unimaginable speed, and I could remember she told the police that she fell from the sky. She collected a purse which was in the man's hand which I didn't notice earlier but I was too shocked to react.

I was in a daze that I didn't realize when she released the man from her grip, and walked away toward an old man who was at the end of the street. The old man was smiling at the girl as he showered her with praises, and she just returned all that with a smile. Then I knew the young man stole the purse from the man, and I looked around trying to spot the young man but I didn't see him again. He must have escaped when I was looking at the girl.

The girl walked away from the old man toward the direction of my car, she looked at her hand which had a glass pierced in it. She frowned her eyes with disgust as she stared at her hand. I moved toward her trying to help her but before I could reach her. She removed a gem from her pocket, and she dipped it into her wound after removing the glass from her hand.

I was taken aback by her reaction, and I rushed toward her. I called the gem from her hand and I threw it away.

"What the hell are you thinking about when you want to pierce that into your bleeding hand, don't you know it will only injure you further" I said to the girl but she only stared at me with a pout.

"I wanted to heal myself with that before you threw it away, and I would have healed myself with that but a thanks to you you ruined it" the girl said sarcastically in a childish tone, and I looked at her like she had grown two heads.

I knew that if I wanted to continue talking to her, time would be wasted and her hand would continue bleeding till she would lose a lot of blood. I gently dragged her into the backseat of the car.

I took the first aid kit which was beside the front seat and I tended to her wound. I bandaged her hands and I stared at her face curiously with loads of questions swarming in my head. I wanted to ask her how she healed quickly despite the injury she had yesterday. She shifted her gaze away from me with a frown, she must have noticed the way I stared at her.

"How the hell were you able to heal faster? There was no injury on your body anymore" I said and she rolled her eyes cutely at me.

"It's nothing, my body is immune to injury and moreover the wounds aren't that deep like you exaggerated" She replied and I frowned.

I wanted to ask many questions but I didn't. I decided that it would be better if I didn't ask any questions, and I nodded at her reply.

"Where are you off to? I can give you a lift" I said and she placed her finger on her chin like she was thinking.

"I'm going to a company," she replied plainly and I looked at her.

"What's the name of the company?" I asked and she sighed heavily.

"I have forgotten the name of the company" she replied and I rolled my eyes. How can she say she was going to a company which she can't remember. She will get lost in this country, she doesn't know what she is up to.

"The only thing I remembered about the company is that it was huge" she said as she used her hand to describe the company in a funny way, and I couldn't help but laugh at her behavior.

She looked at me with an annoyed look but I didn't stop my laughter but I increased my voice. She glared at me angrily as she rolled her eyes at me.

I looked at her, mesmerized by her beauty. Her beauty is something that I couldn't resist myself from looking at her. She's too beautiful to be ignored. I can't deny it that I love everything about her. The way she talks, the way her nose crunches. The way she giggles while showing off her bunny teeth.

Is this love at first sight?

I can't stop staring at her. I looked up as I snapped out of my thoughts, as she snapped her fingers at him. What's wrong with me? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. "Oh! I'm... I'm..."I said feeling a little shy and embarrassed as she stared at me with a weird look.

"I wanted to apply for the job opportunity, and I have forgiven but I will ask my friend the name of the company" The girl said as she sighed heavily while staring at me.

"I'll be on my way now," she said as she opened the door of the car.

I sighed heavily as I pounded on which company she may want to apply for the job, and I wanted her to apply for the job at my company.

I wanted to tap her shoulders, and I didn't look in her direction. I would have stopped my hand in time if I knew she was not in the car anymore, and my hands landed on her butt.
