THREE IS A CROWD (love triangle)

Sarah walked to the house, struggling with the grocery bags that were twice her size. She had finally been able to stock up her new house and decorate it to her taste. It felt really good to finally live alone after spending years with three roommates. She enjoyed the peace and quiet of the house and the fact that she could actually hear herself think in contrast to her shared apartment back in college where she couldn't go a second without hearing a squeal or an “oh my God, he's so hot."Her roommate has been fangirls of any and every hot boy band on the planet and it wasn't like she judged them or thought she was better than any of them. As a matter of fact, she loved them dearly and all of them stayed like sisters. It was just that she had passed that phase and those years were behind her now. She has been forced to grow up after the incident happened. Sarah in the past had been wild. She had spent the better years of her high school being that girl. She missed the thrill and ex

“I don't care. Do it again. I hate it." Dan threw the designs for the new company project across the room in anger. They had been going at it for three hours and no one had come up with anything worth seeing. “For God's sake, the final meeting is next week. We have nothing to present to the investors. All these designs are horrible and I can't even look at them and neither would the investors." He could see the tired looks on his employees faces and he knew they were out of it and won't contribute so much to this anymore. He was tired himself. He had stayed up all night trying to do his own job and had come here straight in the morning hoping to put ideas together with what his employees had to offer.Apparently, it wasn't much.“Sir, we are designing based on the ideas and instructions you have given us. I believe none of us went outside this." Dan was shaking his head before she even finished the sentence. Of course, he wasn't blind. He could see that they had inculcated his ide

She was pretty, he had to give her that. Beautiful even. But she was not his type. She gave him a sweet smile when she noticed his presence in front of her but she just responded with a straight face.“Hey, I'm Belinda. You must be Dan." She stretched her hand out and Dan just stared at it, trying to contemplate on whether to take it or not. "Well, no shit Sherlock." He thought. He knew he couldn't be rude to her because that information would get back to his mother and the last thing he wanted was for her to serve him another one of her three hour long lectures.He took her hand and offered her a forced smile. “Yeah, I'm Dan. You must be Belinda." Two can play this game.Belinda chuckled.“Very funny. So you want to order?" “No. I already told my mother I wasn't hungry but she forced me out here with you so I thought she'd tell you already."Dan wondered why his brain kept telling him to be careful with the way he was speaking to her but he didn't listen. The words just kept c

The unexpected encounter with Dan took Sarah by surprise. She had thought it might happen later, but not so soon.Sarah got to her front door; how she got there with loads of thoughts without a bus hitting her on her way after she met Dan was a mystery.She took her house keys from her bag and inserted them in the keyhole, unable to find the keyhole because she was lost in thoughts. The key slipped, jolting her back to reality. It fell to the floor beside a small, brown flower vase she had never seen before, accompanied by a note. She retrieved the key and the note.She read the note.“For her royal Majesty, Congratulations on the new place.” She turned the note to check who it was from, but there was no indication of who it was from.She picked it up and assumed it was either a mistake or one of her admirers. Sarah’s beauty always attracted men and, most of all, lots of gifts. If she wanted, she could date any of them and leach off their money.Depending on another person’s money w

“Did you fire that stripper like I asked?” Dan asked while walking to the elevator at Tinder’s Corp. and his secretary, Michael, who also happened to be his cousin.“Yes, I did.” Michael affirmed. They got to the elevator.“What is taking the background search so long?” Dan’s frustration was evident. The suspense and curiosity kept him wondering and impatient. He wanted to know everything about her and how he could use the information to his advantage.“Sarah Thompson’s information is rather hard to get; she’s been off social media and…” Michael lied.“You didn’t do anything about it, did you?” Dan interrupted; he caught on to Michael’s lie. He knew his cousin was often unreliable when it came to office tasks, but his mother had insisted he give him a chance at Tinder’s Corp.“Don’t worry, I will find her myself.” The elevator door began to close when he caught a glimpse of someone who resembled Sarah through the narrow opening left for the elevator to close. He tried to stop the e
