KAMANI'S POV
I may have discovered the dark powers within me but that did not end my everyday life routine which includes going to work. At work, I'm a nameless assistant photographer who doubles as the P.A to the photographer.
Today is Monday and we're supposed to be free from having any session according to last week's plan. But the shitty photographer I assist messaged me this morning that a certain actress has a session with us today. I supposed I am to feel honoured by him that he even notified me this time.
My workplace feels the same, I walk in and breathed the air of my slavery. The Secretary seems unconcerned with my presence as she went on about arranging her table. Seeing how much I ran errands for my boss, coupled with her having an intimate relationship with him made her lose all her respect for me, that's if she had any for me before.
"Boss wants his coffee when he gets here" she spoke in her pompous high note voice to me. Damn, I hate that she doesn't see the powerful me. I felt like letting her know that if the boss loves her then he wouldn't be keeping her a secret.
I rushed out of the studio to the nearest coffee shop. I needed to get the coffee and put the studio in order before my boss comes out. That man hates a messy studio but loves doing messy things inside that leaves me Picking out his used condoms.
"Hi, one Americano to go please" I said to the barista's backview, he seemed to be busy with the coffee beans he was grinding.
"Good morning" I almost let out a gasp when the Barrista turned and it was Ocean's eyes but without the Ocean eyes.
"You?" I said surprisingly, I thought he didn't have an ordinary life like I did. I mean, he appeared at the times I needed him, I thought he was always at a place hidden from humans, waiting for me to call on him.
"What happened to your eyes?" I can't call him Ocean eyes, not at the state I met him. His pretty blue eyes were gone, his dark brown eyes made him look more attractive in appearance or maybe I just noticed his looks now that the blue eyes were gone. His jaw lines were so sharp, they could slice an apple.
"I can't really talk about that now?" He said. The shop was empty, it was just me and him in it.
"Why? There's no one here" I asked curiously but he didn't reply and left to get me the coffee I had asked for earlier. He returned back shortly with the coffee and a box of cupcakes.
"It seems like you were waiting for me to come" I said. What is weird is that I've bought coffee from this same coffee shop but I never really did take note of the Barrista because I was always in a rush to get in and get out.
"Yeah, You come in here every day of the week looking miserable" .He said to me while handing the packed coffee and cakes to me.
"Yes, Which makes it weird that I don't remember seeing your face" I collected the bag from his hand.
"Maybe you didn't notice because you were too busy fighting against your powers and us." Well, he was correct because I kept seeing those strange people in my dreams and wasn't really having good sleeps or rest since I slaved away at work.
"True that " I said. My phone kept vibrating from all the one hundred messages from my boss. Guy's a perfectionist, he wanted everything to be ready before he got to the studio.
" Bye, I've gat to go. I'll see you at 6. Thanks for the cupcakes." I hurriedly walked out, not giving him the chance to even reply. On my way to the office, I kept thinking about Ocean eyes without his blue eyes, his other life and I wondered if he hated that ordinary Humans did not see him as the powerful person that he is.
I was already in front of the studio when I spotted my boss's black Ferrari quickly approaching the office. I dashed for the door. I met the secretary applying another layer of red lipstick on her lips. She must be expecting some office sex later that day.
"Good morning sir" I heard the Secretary saying from her table. I tried to put the office in order, thank goodness I cleaned it up before leaving on friday.
"Good morning pretty" my boss replied. I was expecting him to open the door to the main studio and say some unkind words to me.
"Good morning sir" I greeted immediately he entered.
"Kamani, You look less miserable today. It's a compliment, not an insult so relax" . I maintained my straight as he walked in to his office. It was surprising that he didn't ask me why I was still cleaning the order, his usual self would have been so angry at the sight of it. I received a message on my phone that read "Chill, The session won't start until noon". It made me so mad, because why did he have to bomb my phone with messages only to arrive and tell me the session has been shifted to a later time.
