Chapter fourteen- Friends get jealous too
BRIELLE
A date!
Ryan Rodriguez… businessman extraordinaire and probably the most beautiful man on the planet wanted to go out with me!
Me… of all people!
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know my worth and know he should actually be considering it an honour to go on a date with me and all that stuff, but I still didn’t understand.
I mean, from the way he had pushed me into such a tight spot, it was obvious that he knew that I would not even be contemplating it had he asked in a normal way, so the question now was, why?
Why waste so much time when you can easily just have anyone else?
I cleared my throat nervously. “You know, Ryan… under other circumstances, I would have been thrilled to go out on a date with you, but this is business… and I really don’t think it is wise to add something such as that to the equation.”
He smiled wanly. “Now, I knew you’d say th

DYLAN I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. Brielle was going on a date with that douche bag tonight, and there was nothing I could do about it. Yeah, I know… I had waited for a whole week without putting in any effort to change her mind, and I had also already kind of resigned myself to the fact, that whether I liked it or not, she was going to go on that date… because let’s face it, the woman was one of the most headstrong women I had ever met. Another reason, for my hesitation perhaps, was the very fact that for the first time, Brielle and I were exploring a chance at friendship without going for each other’s throats and to be very honest it felt amazing. I mean, we still riled each other up… occasionally, but it was even more fun now because we got to laugh it off at the end of the day. As for Savannah, she was still around for some reason. I was yet to find out, but she was using dad’s illness a
The Collision Chapter sixteen- Did he touch you like this?
BRIELLE I didn’t know why Silvie was home so early… my guess was, she probably left something and was returning for it, but that was bad news for me because I had decided to collapse on the couch instead of making it to my room after I got back. I certainly didn’t want to talk about the date… not now at least, and so, I did the only thing I could think of to get out of having to talk to her… Feign sleep. Trying to slow my rapid heartbeat, I managed to get myself relaxed enough even as the keys turned in the lock and Silvie entered the apartment. “Gosh, it’s not even 11 pm, and she’s back, already sleeping.” I heard her mutter to herself. From the corner of my eye, I saw her drop a couple of shopping bags, then proceed to her room. She came back a few minutes later. “Lucia?” My inquisitive best friend called out tentatively. I ignored her, turning over dramatically for goo
The Collision Chapter seventeen- Trouble?
BRIELLE Dylan Thoma was my boyfriend!!! It still felt unreal, you know? And it was just as I had imagined it would be… maybe even more than I had, if we’re being real. Dylan was the kind of guy who stimulated you in every way and not just sex-wise if you know what I mean. I always looked forward to our intellectual banters especially, because they were highly entertaining, and well… because they almost always led to amazing sex. That was a fast way to get to a consensus, amirite? Speaking of amazing sex, We were doing it everywhere… my office, his office, the elevator, the conference room, his apartment, mine… Life had never been this perfect. Now, I know you’d be skeptical, because office romance almost always gets out of hand, but Dylan and I had learnt how to balance things. We knew when to keep things strictly business and when to loo
The Collision Chapter eighteen- No longer a virgin
BRIELLE The grand lobby of the Prestige Hotel glittered with radiance from the many chandeliers littering the ceiling. Surprisingly, there weren’t that many a people around and so I was able to breathe out and relax into the warm ambience and the soft music. “This way ma’am, sir.” One of the valets steered Dylan and I towards the massive, popular restaurant Artemis, where my amazing boyfriend had decided to take me out to, to climax a very weird week. It’s been four days since the whole Madeline fiasco, and I had come to a pretty obvious conclusion about the woman… she seemed to have some kind of mental illness. I remember the day like it was yesterday, Well, it was technically just four days ago, but still… I had left Dylan to deal with his mess, the Madeline woman still stuck in her high to notice. No one at work, except for Savannah knew of our budding romance, an
The Collision Chapter nineteen- Not so mouthy now, are you?
DYLAN I don’t know why I lied to Brielle about going to New York in the first place. Thing is, I’ve caused her so much trouble already, and so I wanted to take care of the Madeline problem all by myself, without involving her and putting a further strain on our relationship. I couldn’t do it alone though, and so I had told my best friend, Marin everything, and asked for help, and he had agreed to come to my aid. Now, if there was anyone who could help me with this, I knew it had to be Marin, hell… He calls himself the ‘best young black lawyer in New Orleans’, Let’s see how true that shit is. So no, I wasn’t in New York. I was holed up in my apartment with Marin, trying to come up with ways to get rid of the annoying woman without putting RetroCorp in jeopardy. I had really screwed up though, hadn’t I? You know, I always hear stories of how one sim
The Collision Chapter twenty- What kiss?
BRIELLEWednesdays.That time of the week that stuck right in the middle, giving you hope… telling you that the weekend will be here soon.I liked Wednesdays. I mean, not as much as I did Fridays, but you get my drift. Dylan was supposed to be returning from his trip today, and honestly speaking, that had been the highlight of my week. True, we spoke on the phone at the least chance we got, but it still wasn’t the same as seeing him in the flesh.I was excited.So excited that I had arrived at the office before 6 am. I hadn’t been able to sleep much, truthfully speaking, I haven’t been sleeping well since the whole Madeline fiasco, but I don’t really want to talk about that. Where was I again?Oh, yes.I figured coming to the office early and actually being productive, was better than sitting at home, moping, so I had done just that. It was 9:15 now, and
The Collision Chapter twenty one- Go get that d, B!
BRIELLE “Dylan! I didn’t know you’d be back so soon.” I voiced out, the surprise still laced in my tone. His expression was blank, I couldn’t guess his current mood or emotion even if I tried. “Well, Anna and dad needed to talk, so I left almost right after you had.” His gaze shifted to Ryan. “What’s he doing here?” Ryan chuckled. “You know, my mouth works just fine too, Thomas... and I can bloody speak for myself. I came to see Lucia because I had a meeting with Savannah, but she failed to show up.” He tucked his hands into the pockets of his slacks. “Seeing as Lucia here was the one who assigned her to me, I only thought it right to come and inform her of this development.” “I see. Well, Savannah’s in the hospital, so you can be rest assured that she didn’t bail out on your meeting because she wanted to.” Dylan threw over his shoulder as he made his way over to me. “I’ll leave you to it then, Bree. I have to get a few things
The Collision Chapter twenty two- Patricia Thomas
DYLANI know staring at someone while they sleep is creepy as hell, but I can’t help it.I still couldn’t believe she was mine, you know?I’d had a crush on Brielle when we were in high school. Being a new kid on his first day had been uncomfortable to say the least, then here comes this pretty girl, with vibrant pink hair, glasses perched on her cute button nose, smiling up at me, just because I had been decent enough to open a door for her. I must admit, I never knew how much I needed someone to smile up at me, I was dealing with the discovery of dad’s affair, and the looming chance of divorce, so you can just imagine how much of a silver lining that smile was for me.I had been so stupid.Caught up in the chance of becoming popular, so forgetting everything else.Brielle squirmed slightly, and rolled over with a long stretch, a soft groan escaping her lips as
