Tara

Noise

It was a noisy night at the house of Tara. Her brother who is staying with her on the same house brought some visitors.

A successful business deal needs a celebration, said Drake, Tara's brother while talking to his friends. Those men agreed with him like his followers in a cult. I should be joining them but none of those men interests me. After a while more of their office mates came including some girls. Their party grew even noisier. I went down to greet the newcomers for I know some of them, it would be impolite on my part if I ignore their arrival.

Girl your so slim, how do you keep this figure of yours?, Vikki asked. Vikki is the girlfriend of Drake. She's a sweet girl. I like her. Her style is so classy and she has a direction, quite a dreamer just like my brother Drake.

The night grows deeper and the party get even wilder. I have to scape from this crowd I still have a story to finish. I called Vikki to tell her I need to rest. Vikki I leave you everything here, I need to finish a story tonight, its due tommorow, your in charge in the kitchen now.

You can go but please take one last shot, girls join us. Cheers!

I have no choice but drink one more since Vikki is quite insistent.

Have a nice party everyone. I bid them goodbye then I went straight to my room. The house is big but I can still hear the noise even with the door close.

I tried to focus so hard to finish the last chapter of my story. Hope I give justice to the ending of this story.

Script done

Wazzup! I entered my directors office with this intro. My eyes are still dark but I came in with a smile.    I'm done with the story, here it is! Read it and tell me which one you want to change.

Cool, said Jerry my director. He does movies and commercials also music videos when needed. We are friends for so long now, he is my source of millions. He loves my works, he turns it into movie and boom blockbuster hit. He is richer than me maybe 10x richer. He looks for producer to invest on our movies, he is also in charge of gathering artist to play the roles on my story. He is the man, litterally.

I will tell you on email what I think about this. Good news we have plenty of investors, since we had good ticket sales on our last movie, Jerry said.

Im excited to see my story comes alive, I told him. His face light up with a smile.    You have those power in you to see things perfectly on your mind then make it in reality. Only you can do that, blemish free! I continued flattering him.

He smirked at me, Jerry automatically knows that I'm patronizing him.

Tara, you don't have to kiss my ***, you will get a good cut on this project as long as I like your script. So now you can go home, I will message you as soon as I finish reading it. Alright? Go home I still have a job, go to sleep and keep dreaming well. He pushed me outside the door, so I just waved at him goodbye on the other side of the glass door.

Back home, the next day...

My brother is supposed to be working but he is home. I'm so puzzled why. He is drinking vodka, the one remained from the party last night.

Why are you home so early? I curiously asked him.

I quit my job, he answered.

What? I'm confused. He just closed a big deal lately and now he quits.

I said I quit my job. Drake repeated his answer.

Why? You told me, you just closed a big deal. Why would you quit? I asked him again still not understanding his reason.

I asked for a promotion and a cut for that deal but I get nothing. I worked hard on it but since I'm just an employee all the credits went to the son of the CEO, Marcus. It's my idea, I co-presented it with him but I got nothing. He explained with angry red face almost crying.

I pity my brother, he'd been working for that company for 12 years. I didn't imagine he would leave it that easy. He is already in good position, but looks like he wanted more. My brother's ambition is so high. His own dream let him down. I watched him drinking hopelessly. I hugged him lightly to show symphaty. What did Vikki say?

She doesn't like my decision.

Will you listen to her? I asked.

My decision is final. I will just stay here for a while and think of my next step. Don't worry about me I will be fine. He answered.

I love you bro, don't think of this thing so much. Talk to me if you need someone to talk to. I offered him. He smirked at me like I said something funny.

I'm not suicidal sister. I'm the smartest on the office they will come begging for me to come back. If not maybe it's time for me to put up my own company, he explained.

My brother will go crazy this way I should call Vikki to take care of him. She needs Vikki more now.

Vikki came after work. She stayed with Drake and try to convince him to go back to work and apologize, which my brother oppose so strictly. I stayed on my room to give the two some privacy. I unknowingly fall asleep. I will get to know what happened when I wake up.

What happened?

In the morning bottles of vodka and more beers welcomed me. Vikki is not around, my brother is lying on the couch. I didn't dare to wake him up so I decided to just cook breakfast. I fried some eggs and sliced tomatoes on the side. I like sunny side up while my brother prefer scrambled with onions. He smelled the food then went to the table.

What happened last night? I asked him.

I broke up with Vikki, he said lightly.

What the ****? Are you out of your mind. What have you done? That's Vikki bro. I'm so shocked of what he said. I dont know what to say. My mouth just keep on spitting words right now.

What can I do, she doesn't seem to like an unemployed guy. She cant force me to go back to the company. She should be on my side. I expect her to be. No matter what, even though I'm wrong. He explained.

Bro, I don't think it's the right time for you to decide two big decisions in one day. You should give it more consideration. You love Vikki right?

She's the one who asked for it. I'm just giving her what she wants. Sis if she can't respect my decision then she's not the girl for me.

Food is getting cold, just don't finalize this matter about Vikki. I love her for you. I concernly advised him.

Whatever, if I get a new job or build my own business then girls will just come easy to me. He said as if he is over with Vikki instantly.

I love Vikki for him, we are completely different but Vikki is so sweet and nice to me. She is the girl I can ask right away on girl things and fashion. She's a good woman, a wife material. My brother will surely regret his decision.

I went on with my day, I didn't expect a surprise next coming days..

I get home from work, a surprise opened the door smiling at me. A guy with big luggage and some personal items with him is inside my house. My brother brought home a handsome big guy, more masculine than him. Is my brother turned gay over a night, I'm not sure.

Hello? I asked him wondering who he is and what is he doing in my house with his luggages.

Hi I'm Andrei friend to your brother Drake. He introduced himself confidently while smiling at me.

He has a nice personality and he seems friendly but with those luggage on my living room, that only means bad news.

Tara, you're home, my brother greeted me. He walk towards me and explained, Andrei will be living with us starting today, we will be sharing with my room. So there will be no problem on each others privacy.

But why? I asked him, wanting for more explanation.

We are planning to put a business together,    he will be my partner. His money is supposed to be for his house but I asked him to join me instead so for the mean time he will be staying with us.

I dont agree, this is my house. I cant stay with another man around here.

That's your problem not mine, he walk away from me and start putting Andrei's stuff    in place.

I can't even decide on my own house. I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad about this. My threat has no effect on him. I went to my room and calm myself.
