Lucifer.
I was waiting for Matthew to show up. It had already been 20 minutes. I glanced at my clock. Why the fuck is he so late? I thought to myself.
He finally showed up after another five minutes.
“Ah my old friend, Lucifer.” I stood up and shook his hand.
I nodded my head. “Matthew.”
“How have you been, Lucifer? It’s been a long time since I last saw you.” Matthew was one of the charmers during school. All the girls loved him back then. Because of his flirtatious behavior, he was the perfect example of fake sweetness. And I noticed he hadn’t changed at all.
“I have been good so far. How are you doing with your company?” I asked taking a sip of the coffee I ordered.
“It’s doing good and that is why I am here with you because I want us to be business partners as well. Your company is one of the top company in the country. I know that together we can make our companies grow very rapidly.” I agreed with him. He was also a good businessman. His company was also one of the top five successful companies, after mine.
We talked about our businesses more, because I needed to get more details about his business. I was always very meticulous with my calculations before going for a business deal, I like to find out every little thing before stepping forward. The deal with him seemed good to me. Good for my business.
Matthew was a man of words, he always kept his word. That was why I trusted him.
“So Lucifer, enough talk about official things. Tell me about yourself, what is going on with you?” He asked me. His order came by that time. The waitress put his meal on the table but took too long to gather the tray and other things. Her eyes roamed at me and she smiled seductively at me. I completely ignored her ways of seducing me.
“Are you planning to stay here the whole time? Or give us some privacy?” She looked shocked by my statement, her face went red from embarrassment. This bitch deserved it. I muttered to myself.
Matthew chuckled. “Wasn’t she the type of girl you'd want?” He asked me taking a bite of his food.
“I don’t care about that right now.” My reply came out coldly as usual.
He laughed and said. “Man, you need a woman to be with you now. The office work is getting in your head.”
“I am fine Matthew, maybe you need it. She might be your type.” I pointed at that same waitress who was serving other customers.
“My type is a different man.” He shook his head with a smirk on his face. He looked all around the cafe until his eyes stopped at something.
“That’s my type.” He pointed at someone behind me. I chuckled deeply and looked behind me. The place was crowded I couldn’t spot who he was pointing at.
“The girl with tied hair and pale skin.” He added.
I frowned. “There is no one like this,” I stated and was about to turn to him when I noticed the people moving from the counter.
“Here man, there she is.” He pointed again.
My blood boiled when I saw who he was pointing to. The same hair, the same pale skin.
