THE GOVERNOR'S WIFE

11. COME BACK

STELLA’S POV

A YEAR LATER.

Being his campaign manager is the best thing ever. I love politics and I am happy that we have grown all through this time.

He is making a good progress and the opinion poll show some possibility of him winning.

It is a month to the election and things are getting stiffer. Before I tell you of what I had planned for, for the homestretch campaign, let me just tell you what we have done for the rest of the one year and ended up relevant for the position.

I knew that he was doubting me as his campaign manager and for the first three months after he agreed for me to be his campaign manager, I was proving myself.

The first thing I did was to place the banner all round town so that people could at least have an idea of whom he was. In that same month, I set up social media platform and that is twitter, f*******: and i********: and all this accounts were all about telling the masses of his manifesto now that he was vying for the governor position.

In three months, people were aware of him and some who loved him. They started calling him honorable sir as if he had already gotten the position already.

Nowadays, working with social media makes things ten times easier. Therefore, ensure that you make social media your friend.

After Erman turned out to be the talk of the town, he finally believed that I was going to be the best campaign manage who will grant him success.

After the first three months of letting the people to have an idea of the type of leader he was, we started visiting different places so that he can actually talk to the people.

We started with going to schools. We donated some stationary to the pupils and students of different schools and that made them tell their parents about Erman and that is definitely a way of bringing more voters at bay.

The next place we targeted is at the churches. We donated some funds to aid in church activities once we visited the churches. Therefore, we were able to get voters from the congregation in churches.

The last place we were going to is this normal events. We were in attendance is youth summits, burials, weddings and other social gatherings. Once we get the chance to talk, I ensure that people are aware of the Governor to be, Governor Erman.

There were three other able leaders vying for the same position and we had to work extra hard for the votes. Nothing comes easy. Everything is worth every single struggle.

The next two months, we published many newsletter with his name, picture and his vison as well. Everything was well illustrated in the newsletter. Of course we used my cyber café for that work. We were the best in town, so we did a good job in that.

Buy the way, I had not backed out of the business that we tirelessly created. I just hired someone to be in my place because I would be so busy with the campaign thing. Faith was so good with the management and we continued making so much profit.

Back to the two months, in the two months, we did a door to door delivery of the newsletter. We reached as many homes as we can. Our friends helped in the delivery and we ourselves also did the delivery on doorsteps. We have not covered all the homes yet but we are assured to cover the homes before the real election. We had to reach each and every individual because each and every vote counts.

The next month, I tried organizing media and radio trips for him so that he could access more voters. He got some pots here and there and that made him more famous. I really loved how we have grown in the past few months. When we started, no one really knew him but at this juncture, people were aware of him and some bloggers had already blogging about him.

The last four months has been a combination of all of the above tactics. The difference is that we had rented a place where we could come and meet o plan the campaigning and also a place where people could come and volunteer to help us. The room was filled with Erman’s pictures.

He looked hot in the banner. Deep don I knew many women would vote for him because of his looks. The good thing is that I was sure of his love for me, he would never trip on another woman. Never.

This very day, I was checking on his platform as I sat in our campaign room. The volunteers had already left with the newsletter. They were distributing it to the people in the streets.

Erman come in through the door holding a cup of coffee on his hand. He knew how much I was into coffee this days and I know his intention was to make me happy.

“Thank you,” I told him as he handed it to me right after he kissed me on the forehead. He is used to kissing me there. This was a way of our greetings.

“How is the going? I hope you re not overworking yourself,” He was quite concerned.

“So far you are leading in the poll and that is a good thing. I should really work extra harder because it has remained a brief period of a month to the election. We are at homestretch,” I explained it to him.

“I know baby, but right now, I have to get you home. You have really worked so hard and I know you are not going to stop. But please stop tonight, I want to hang out with my baby and to remind her of how much I love her.” He said his eyes raking all over my body and his eyes depicted nothing but pure concern for me.

“Please baby, give me only ten minutes to wind up,” I urged him.

“No and no, we have to go now,” He jested and literally pulled me from the computer.

“Alright, “I gave in. God knows how much I needed to relax. I have been working extra hard of late and I am so happy that he noticed that and he now wants me to rest for some time.

I locked the campaign room and we walked down the streets holding hands. I kept on sipping on my coffee as we talked about random things.

We ended up kissing by the sideways. He said he was going to take me to dinner and since it was 6:30 am already, we went to a small hotel that was on the net street from where the campaign place was.

We enjoyed dinner together and talked more about politics. We couldn’t help it. We dwelled on if he actually becomes the governor. I was happy that I would be called the first lady and I will be officially Mrs. Governor. That is if he marries me of course.

I urged him to fulfil everything that he promised the citizens in his manifesto and he agreed to that. Indeed, he was going to make a good governor.

We spent more time together and we ended up drinking beer in a local club. I had a good time. At around 9:0pm in the night, he dropped me home. We kissed once again before he finally let go of me.

My mother was definitely waiting for me. We exchanged pleasantries before I headed to my room. I didn’t really care if she still didn’t want me to do politics because that is what I want. Deep down I knew that she hated Erman but that was one of my business. She had to deal with it and it was such a shame that she will dill with him after she becomes a governor.

It will really be good if he places his resentment aside. Life moves on, so should we.

I went to my room to freshen up and then I later changed to my pjs. I wanted to watch some movie, The Oval so I went downstairs to grab some popcorn to eat as I watched the movie in my laptop.

My mother had gone to sleep early and therefore I was all alone in the kitchen. As I was picking the apple, my phone flushed with a message

Hi bay, it is me. I can’t sleep. Therefore, I might be just outside your house. Please come and meet me.

This text made me bubble up with excitement. I was not only going to meet him. I was also going to sneak him to my room. We have known each other for over a year and this very night, she should fully spend it sleeping next to me.

I crave him so much and I am going to use his opportunity to have him on my bed.
