She Dared To Dream!

"Hello papa, you sound a bit odd. What is the problem?”.

She stood at the kitchen corner, she knew she mustn't be seen making a call during her shift.

"I'm fine Laura, it's just your mother she's got me really worried" Jeff tried to keep his voice as firm as possible but it wasn't working as he took in a deep breath and sniffled.

"Are you- papa are you crying" Laura stuttered as her hands quivered, she tried to hold a tight grip of her phone.

"No my princess, I'm good, when are you coming home?You've not come to see your mother since last Christmas and it's almost spring my dear, your sister's been asking to see you" he cleared his throat.

"Papa do not change the topic, what really is the problem? I'm serious papa talk to me"

She knew this wasn't about her mother, although it's been a while since she saw her father she still knew him so well that she could tell when he was gloomy.

"I lost my job!Laura I lost my job, where do I start from? How do I fend for your sister and pay your mother's hospital bills?I've failed as a father, I'm so sorry you have to work this hard. Jeff finally let it all out, he couldn't hide it anymore, not from his first daughter.

"But how's that possible?Did you do anything wrong?; Okay, okay, if that's the case,it's fine papa do not think too much, I don't know when I'd be free but I'll come home when I get a chance. Is that okay?" She checked her watch, it's been four minutes already, she might get into trouble and she sure didn't want to lose her job as her father just did.

"I was sacked by Bryan Myers, he complained about my driving skills, knowing fully well I've worked for years as his grandfather's chauffeur".

"That's pretty bad I….

"Laura!!, Where are you?" A loud voice echoed

"Uhhhm, that's my que Papa I'm sorry I have to go now, how about we discuss this later "

She hung up before he could even reply, she didn't want to hear any of it any more, she could barely make ends meet and now, BryanbMyers sacks her father?She knew she despised him. Now she hates him even more, she clenched her fists tightly.

He paced around the office, wringing his hands, he felt some drops of sweat on his forehead, he touched his table "this is so dusty, why wasn't this cleaned?"

"Bryan, and now you talk to yourself?"

"Grandad i-i was just…"

"Stop being loquacious, we have board meeting in 30 minutes time, get ready"

Bryan was lost in thought, what would he tell his grandfather.

"Do you hear me?By the way, since I arrived I haven't heard from my chauffeur. Have you seen him?"

"Mr George Myers, there's an important meeting in less than thirty minutes, now quit worrying about your chauffeur and get ready sire" he smiled awkwardly, showing him to the door, of course he couldn't tell him he sacked his chauffeur while he was away, not now.

"Alright, alright I'll take my leave now, do not be late Bryan" George looked at him with raised eyebrows.

It was late he stopped at the bar after work to get a few drinks, he wore his shades although it was late, he didn't want anyone recognising him. He finally found a spot and settled,he didn't plan to drink to stupor but he slurped and gulped glass after glass, he looked around him and spotted a hooker she looked alot like Karen, speaking of Karen, he couldn't get the image off of his head…

Bryan walked up the stairs, no one expected him to be home he told everyone he was traveling, he heard a distant moan, he ignored, it got louder as he went up the stairs, it was coming from his cousin's room, he'd never seen him with any girl, his curiosity got the better of him as he approached where the sounds were coming from, he stopped in his pace as he heard a familiar voice, no familiar voices

"Easy, you could wake everyone"

"Can't I show my pleasure, I can't hide it anymore I love you"

"No you don't, you love Brian, you're a couple remember"

"Stop being naive, I've always eyed you but you never gave me any attention"

Wait wait this can't be "Karen!!" He muttered, he looked into the keyhole, they were both naked

The images were vivid in his head with that he took another long gulp, that'd be enough for now, he went into his car, he started the car

His phone vibrated, he looked at the screen, it was Karen, he smirked and picked up the phone.

"Hello baby"

"What do you want Karen" he belched loudly

"What do you mean by that, are you drunk Bryan?"

"Why don't you ask your f***mate that question” he spat.

He swerved as he noticed he almost hit a car.

"What are you talking about?, I can see you're not in your right senses I'd put this on recording, because you'd never believe when I say this to you"

"Shut the f***k up Karen!, You're a lying b**** - you- do this to me yet , you know what I don't have time for this," he looked down at his phone to hang up

"Hold on Bryan, listen to me” she had to play victim; she didn't want to lose this relationship.

He picked up his wallet instead of his phone,cursing under his breath "where's this damn phone?" He fumed.

His hands shook on the steering, then he noticed a figure ahead him, he tried to swerve again, but it was too late, he hit the figure

"Watch where you're going man" he said at the top of his voice, sticking his head outside of his side window.

"Bryan, did you hit someone?” she could clearly hear a loud bump.

"Why are we still on this call, get off my phone!"

He grasped his phone, he looked at the screen but it was all blurry, he could still hear Karen, he slammed the phone on the car seat disconnecting the call.

He looked out of the window again, he then noticed the figure was motionless, he tried to reverse, no the media , my grandfather,my reputation, ' Billionaire Bryan Myers Knocked Someone Down’ doesn't sound so good no no he drove off immediately.
