A CLASH OF TWO FRIENDS

WRITER’S POVLawrence pulled up in front of the hotel he and his friends usually hangout.He rested his right arm lightly on the steering wheel and looked up front. He was yet to drive into the place.He wondered if it was right that he went there knowing there’s a high chance that Charley would be there. Momentarily, he pondered on Veronica’s words and wondered if it wasn’t better he avoided seeing Charley for the time been. Seeing him would only rear up emotions he had shoved aside ever since that day. Image of Bianca brushed through his head. His teeth clenched and he bit his lips. He could feel his palms get all sweaty. Thoughts of her drew up bile in his stomach.His fist curled violently but he restrained himself. It was all he could do not to smash his already curled fist against the steering wheel before him.“Calm down, Lawrence...” he mumbled aloud to himself as he inhaled sharply.His phone beeped almost immediately. It was Carlos reminding him they were all waiting.He gl

A CLASH OF TWO FRIENDS 2

WRITER’S POVLawrence was just about to tell Carlos to ignore what he said, that’s if he heard anything at all when the door was pushed open and Charley stepped in.His jaw clenched hard alongside his fists.“Hold it in, Lawrence, you can’t afford to attack him first.” He had to repeat the words to himself to be able to stop himself from charging at Charley the instant the door opened and he let himself in.“There you are! the second busiest man here after Lawrence. I feel like Carl and I have no ambition.” Carlos said the moment Charley stepped into the room, and made a pitiful face.Like Lawrence expected, Charley first glanced around the room to see if he was present. And when he saw him, Lawrence couldn’t have missed the disappointment in his face.He ignored the fact that he walked in while Carlos and Carl chatted with him.“You seem to be quite busy these days, Charley, what’s going on?” Carlos asked Charley.Charley just shrugged and said, “Well, nothing much exactly. Just a b

A WARM FEELING

LAWRENCE’S POVAs I trotted out of the hotel, I felt my heart pump hard. With every hard pump it made, I made a vow to forget about Bianca and move on with my life.Outside the hotel door, the chauffeur handed me my car keys.“Urh, my apologies sir, I was just about to bring the keys to you...”“It’s fine.” I said as I took the keys from him and made for the parking lot with long strides.I thought I would probably be feeling like shit after the whole scene but I sort of felt better. Maybe because I got to have the last punch and word...just like Veronica had demanded.“Shit...” I chuckled ruefully as I considered my reason for not feeling like shit a silly one.As I drove out of the hotel, several thoughts ran through my head.Above all, Charley’s words wouldn’t stop replaying in my head.My chest knotted as I imagined how stupid I must have looked before her all these times while I thought and believed like a fool that she loved me. The urge to drive over to her place and have her s

COLD

LAWRENCE’S POVAfter mother left, silence fell upon the room. Veronica’s focus was fixed on her food even though it was clear there was just a little amount of food still left in her plate.I stole quick glances at her. My admiration for her grew. It dawned on me there actually was a lot about her I was yet to discover.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked.She looked up from her plate. “Tell you what?”“That you were handling my work...I mean, you also had your own work to take care of....”“Well, I just did it...besides I had the help of your secretary too and your parents support.” She said with a light shrug.She made it sound like she did nothing much. If only she knew how huge it meant for me.“I should get the documents now...” She said and stood up.“Why did you do it?” I asked as I equally stood up. I couldn’t understand it no matter how much I thought about it. I thought she was still mad at me about the time I hurt her with my words because of Bianca. She hadn’t spoken about i

MOTOR TASTING

WRITER’S POVUNVEILING OF WILLIAMS GROUP FAST AND STRONG MOTORS/ JOINT MOTOR TESTINGIt was the ceremony for the unveiling of the motors developed by the Williams Group.The roads were set aside and cleared for the testing of the motors. Vehicles were barred from using the route the vehicles will take temporarily. Chairman Zen who was doing a joint motor testing with William Group sat under the canopy that has been kept aside for the respectable men and engineers that would be present. When Chairman William had reached to him asking that they do joint motor testing for their new cars, he had accepted it without a second thought. It was a chance once again to show the world no car can ever match up to Zen Motors. Not even Williams Motors.He beckoned onto his personal assistant to come closer.“Chairman Williams isn’t here. Find out if there is any news.” he whispered to the tall man who nodded firmly.But the moment he turned to leave, he was faced with Chairman Williams alongside h

CHEERS

WRITER’S POV“Chairman! Look, look! our motor is leading the race...our motor is leading Zen motors...” Director Mason expressed in shock as he scrambled to his feet. Most of the board members jumped to their feet in shock to clearly see what had just happened.“This is incredible, no, unbelievable...” One of the board members of Williams Group muttered. He was one of the few that never supported the appointment of Lawrence as a director in Williams Group, one of Olivers’ men. But in the spur of the moment, he had forgotten about his hatred for Lawrence and marveled at what he had managed to pull off...beating Chairman Zen.Mrs Williams grinned and faced her husband. “Honey, our son did it...” It was the first time in history that Williams Motors ever surpassed, no, any Motor company in the country ever surpassed Zen Motors in speed.Chairman Williams looked towards the side Chairman Zen and his people sat. He couldn’t have missed the sheer shock that erupted in their faces. Who woul

SILENT EMOTIONS

Veronica gazed warmly at the sky. “The stars are really so beautiful this night...” she mumbled.“Or is it because I feel a little tipsy that I’m seeing things....” she giggled and gulped the rest of her drink. She looked into the glass and frowned. “My wine is finished. I want more... this wine is just too sweet I can’t get enough of it.” She reached for the wine bottle but Lawrence got to it first.“Let me do it,” he said as he refilled her glass.“Thank you!” She giggled like a little child and leaned against the rails again to continue gazing at the sky.It was already past an hour since they started drinking. They hadn’t said much words to each other and had dwelt more in silence. Lawrence chuckled lightly as he starred at the tough lady that had grown into a full-blown child in the space of an hour. The moonlight carved the silhouette of her facial features against the wall.“Really beautiful...” he mumbled under his breath still starring at her.“Right? I knew it! To-night the

ONE OF HIS BEST NIGHTS

Before she could say another word, he shushed whatever word she wanted to say by claiming her lips.For a moment Veronica thought the earth stopped moving as Lawrence suckled her lips.She scarcely recalled he briefly stopped kissing her and lifting her up into his arms to the room and lying her gently on the bed.Her senses came back and she became really shy when they were now in the room and the lights shone brightly down on them. Veronica knew he could see her as much she saw him and she wondered what was going on in his head as he got out of his pajamas. Her eyes followed him.He stopped after unhooking a few buttons.“I’m sorry...we should stop here. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” He started to button up his shirt.She sat up on the bed, alerted. “Why? You don’t find me beautiful enough?” she asked hoping that the hurt in her tone wasn’t noticeable.“What?” He frowned and climbed onto the bed. How was he going to explain to her that he hadn’t been able to get her out

MISSING HER

LAWRENCE’S POVIt was the loud blare of my phone that had awoken me from sleep the next day. I rolled towards the bedside drawer half-asleep and grabbed hold of my phone. As expected, it was Jessie. I glanced at the time. It was still very early.I grunted wondering what the early call was for. But the call ended immediately almost at the same time as I made to swipe the answer button.I rubbed my eyes tiredly pushing myself up on the bed. He must have had something urgent to say to me. If his call ended for reasons from his side, then I knew I must call him back at once.As I dialed his number, a beep sounded from my phone signifying a new message.It popped up atop my screen notifications and read, “I am sorry sir for waking you up. It was a mistake. Hope you had a good night? See you at work later.”I chuckled. Jessie wasn’t one to make mistakes of such. I couldn’t help but wonder if his night was as eventful as mine. He must have still been in the hang of it to make a mistake.Wel

IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE

LAWRENCE’S POVI exhaled deeply before I pulled into the building.“Hello, sir,”“Welcome sir,”“Congratulations sir,”I got several bows and greetings as I made my way to Veronica’s office.I guess the news of how Williams Motors ousted Zen motors must have travelled around. I had seen the news in the morning when Jessie was driving me to work. It made the front paper of the top magazines and newspapers of the country.When I asked Jessie if it was necessary that they revealed I handled the project, he had said, “Chairman Williams personally instructed that it be mentioned.”Well, I was pleased with the whole thing except the attention. The moment the elevator jerked and stopped at the last floor, the door was opened and I was faced with a line of the officials of Williams Fashion company.“Welcome Director Lawrence.” Director Liam greeted baring his teeth.“Director Liam, you don’t have to welcome me.” I said stepping out of the elevator, not pleased.“No, how can you say that sir..
