LET THEM BE“ Okay then, close your eyes,” Jack said.Jane obeyed at once and tried to touch the phone screen.She could do that effortlessly, but because she had her own plans, she intentionally moved her hand away from the screen, as though she was unable to touch the screen. Jack noticed that Jane was having a hard time locating the screen with her eyes closed.He held her hand and directed it to the phone screen.He left it and watched it as she clicked on a picture. Jane had intentionally acted as though he was unable to touch the phone screen.Just as she was expecting, a tender and manly hand held hers and directed it to the face of the screenA smile played on the corners of her mouth, but she forced it back.She finally touched the screen, and the picture opened.“ I think you can open your eyes now and see what you chose” she heard Jack say.She quickly opened her eyes and looked at the screen.There was something in Jack's hand beside her own hand.Her focus was now dire

A PLAN THAT WORKS“ I think you have a point here” Jane said and heaved a sigh. “ So can i know what happened exactly” Jack askedHe had already parked the car totally and had switched off the engine.Jane finally began speaking about what really transpired between the mayor and her mother“ It all started when my mother went in looking for a job just so she could take care of me. She happened to meet a man who then was the mayor of this city. With her desperation to get a job for herself, she approached the man and spoke to him about helping her get a job. Fortunately, this man happened to have about three companies in the city and could easily help her get a job. My mum was so excited not knowing that the man had some other plans.He promised to give my mother a job and told her to report the next day to start work as a waiter in his restaurant.My mother got to the job the next day and was invited by the mayor to his office to have a word with her before she could start the j

GROW UP“ Can i speak to you for a minute in private please” George said and signalled him..Mr Daniel shot him a deadly look and nodded.Tracy was looking at the two of them in turns, wondering what was going on.She had seen that George was not comfortable with the way his father was speaking in her presence.George stood up from his seat, and Mr Daniel stood up too.“ Excuse me, babe, we will be back soon” George told Tracy as he led the way with his father back into the living room.“ Dad, what was the meaning of that back there?” George asked. He was furious about what had gone on at the dining table“ And what do you mean by that question? What is the meaning of what?” Mr Daniel fired back.“ Why would you have to say that in front of my girlfriend? This should be said between me and you” George said with a serious face.“ What difference does it make anyway? It does not make any difference dies it?. You have vowed never to listen to me anyway, right? I Hav

IMPOTANT MEN: DONT SPILL THE BEANSGeorge dialled his fathers number, but it went through without him answering.He called again, and the call was not answered.He gave up and dropped the phone on the bed.He heaved a sigh and went back to his former positionThen, another thought occurred to him about what his father said about Alfred.It was as though the words were now making sense to him after all.…“Do you have any idea how many things he knows about us?. Now that you have sent him away, we are in some deep shit” Mr Daniel shouted at him.“ Calm down, Dad. Alfred knows nothing about us. Besides, if he knew, who was he going to tell? Who will even listen to him rant in the first place?” …He remembered the little conversation he had with his father about Alfred, which became incomplete because of the topic of Tracy.He had just realised that what his father had said about him was a bit of a cause of alarm.Although Alfred did not really know much abo

HAPPINESS, PITY, REGRET Alfred rushed to the scene with the others and tried to free the occupants of the car.On seeing the man inside, he confirmed it to be Mr Daniel.They struggled to get the man out of the car since it was locked.The ambulance came around and quickly brought him out in no time.Mr Daniel was bleeding profusely from his nose, his hands, and his thighs, so the ambulance quickly took him away, and the firemen tried to get the car out of there.The wounds were very bad, and it was obvious that he was really in a critical conditionOne of the foremen went to ask the crowd if anyone, by any chance, knew the man involved in the accident.Alfred was about to answer, but he quickly gave up and acted as though he knew nothing about it.He slowly left the scene, unseen.As he walked away, continuing his journey, he felt a wave of pity, happiness, and regrets, which was all over him at once.The pity was that Mr George was injured badly, and
