Old relationships bring a spark that is unexplainable to humans and that was the case between Jake and Michael. Jake couldn't explain why he felt so comfortable and so much at ease sitting in his office and talking about his life. They could recount old memories and talk for hours if possible, and Jake still wouldn't be bored. "Okay, I'm listening," Michael said and closed his system."I thought you didn't want to be interrupted from work?" "And you have already done that and if I know you at all, I know that you won't leave till you get all that you want. So go on, spill the beans," he said."Okay. Well, I kinda got fired from the job today." "What?! Your boss fired you?! That's not possible! Everyone knows the massive contribution you make to that company so why would he do something so stupid." "Well, maybe because I stayed away from work for two days." "And why would you do that?""I was taking care of Sasha." It wasn't safe to inform Micheal about Amanda especially when he w

Jake didn't wait for long because Amanda came out with her a voice recorder. She gave it to Jake and he stared at it with confusion."What is this?" She asked."This is proof that you cheated on me." She pressed play on the recorder and a discussion between a man and a woman popped up."You are joking. Jake would never do such a thing to me.""But I am not joking. He kissed another girl and I was there to witness the whole thing. Come on Amanda, why would I lie to you? I am your friend, one of your closest friends. Jake kissed another woman at a bar and that is what happened."She pressed stop on the recorder and Jake stood still waiting for the proof she said she had."Is that it?!" Jake asked when she didn't say another word."No." She pulled out her phone and showed him pictures of him kissing another girl. Jake's eyes widen and he took the pictures in his hand. It was him in the photograph but for the life of him, he couldn't remember ever kissing that girl."Well, what do you hav

Jake hated himself for leaving the way he did, it was visible in his appearance that his conscience was eating him alive. Deep down, however, he knew he had made the right decision. It was time for her to start learning her lessons and sometimes, that had to be the hard way. He cleaned his face and allowed the hot afternoon air to soothe his shoulders and give him the peace he craved for. His eyes immediately spotted Michael with his legs crossed and he was standing beside a car. When his eyes met with that of Jake, he waved him across. Jake held his bag close to him, his entire's life work was in that bag and he couldn't risk losing it."Man, why is your grip on that bag so powerful?" Micheal asked with a soft laugh."Everything I've ever thought of is in here." He tapped powerfully at the bag. "Do not make jokes about it." He added when he saw the glimmer in Michael's eye. Somehow he was reminded of how much he missed hanging out with the man. It used to be him, Sasha and Michael a

Denny's was always their favourite place to eat when they were growing up and this was because the staff knew them personally and could always tell what they wanted to eat, even when the gang didn't know it. Michael, Sasha and Jake often found themselves eating there and they had made more memories in the third booth on the left of the café buildings than most people have in a lifetime. It was only right that they go there for lunch.The door jingled as Jake pushed it open and the response he got was as if he was a war hero who had just returned home from a victorious war. Jake had missed the attention he always got when he was at the place. He had missed the small talks he was always pushed into. Denny's felt like a home to him, and he couldn't remember why he had stopped going there. A lightbulb beeped on his head and he could finally remember. After he had gotten out of jail and was told that he was a multi-millionaire, he realized that he had no friends to share the joy that Denn

Darkness was like a cloud. It knew exactly when to hover over someone, it knew when it come and it didn't leave so easily when it had arrived. Jake felt it, he felt the darkness lurking in the corners and when he fell to the ground, he felt it overcome him. The darkness came with rain that filled his eyes. He finally gave in to it and cried his eyes out. He couldn't stand the sadness anymore. He came back to resolve the issues he was having with her but just as he suspected, she wasn't the type to hang around for long in a place where she did not feel appreciated."No," he whispered to himself as he cleaned the tear that fell from his eyes and stood up from the ground. He rushed to his phone and quickly dialled her number. It rang but unfortunately, she didn't pick up. He was about to ring the number again when a message came through. It was from Raymond. He had sent in his measurements. Normally, Jake should be elevated to have received that information but he was too concerned with
