Forever

It was a sunny day in London, a rare thing surrounding the area. Zayn drove to his company headquarters, trying to find a solution. Somebody stole his idea for new clothing line design. That person was his best friend back in the days while he was at one of the most prestigious design college. This friend was Payne. Liam Payne. Since he learned about all the manigances of his so-called friend to get more fame than him, he dialed Payne's number.

After a couple of rings, Liam picked up.

-Hey sweetie! How are you?asked Liam

-How am I? How I'm supposed to feel!!!! You took my entire collection mate... or ex-mate should I say! I thought you were honest with me but all you did was taking my whole collection for granted! You use my name! I'll hate you forever Payno! shouted Zayn on the other side of the line.

-Zayn, look, I'm really sorry it's not really stealing, it's just a coincidence that I used the same textiles and colors. When you showed me the drawings, I fell in love you know, it was beautiful, said Liam calmly.

-NO, it's definitely not. I could sue you for that!!! Instead, I'll just rush back to my secret talents and try to sort out brand new designs, cos you are a fucking thief and everyone should know about it, I hate you! I thought you were my friend to support me, but apparently not! mumbled Zayn, angrily.

-I'm... Zayn stop, i am your friend! We know each other since so many years. You are the best friend I ever had, Liam excused himself.

-Well you're not anymore, wish you lots of success, hope you'll fail! I don't wanna see you again, even for two seconds, Zayn hung up, his knuckles being so tense of anger.

But, he couldn't really avoid him, getting on the same club nights around, scouting models and muses for their upcoming collections. Zayn just tried to ignore his ex-friend. Still, in his heart, he had some regrets, maybe it was just a coincidence? He tried to make up his mind logically but he knew how some people needed to manipulate the others to get what they wanted.
In the next days, Zayn would unveiled his brand new wintercoats line, and he was over stressed. What if he couldn't get his new stuff on time for the show?

He worked all day and also some part of the night when his assistant Louis came into his office.

-The organizer called me to check on the collection, is it finished? he asked.

-almost, if only that Payne haven't stole my ideas the stress wouldn't have grown. I loathe him with all my heart, Zayn replied.

-you're a superstar designer Mr Malik, I'm sure people will appreciate your work, Louis reassured him.

-thanks! Let's get ready for tonight now, told Zayn.

Louis left, helping the other employees and coordinated the work of everyone. He wanted his boss to be as successful as ever and that everything will be on point tonight for the presentation.

Zayn was sitting in his office, sketching a couple of ideas for forthcoming collections. His mind was a little bit occupied by Liam. He didn't know why. He hated him, he knew he was one of the worst person ever but on the other side, he felt attracted to his ex-friend. He couldn't stand being betrayed like that and he knew he would show him how he was always winning despite all the cheating around. He kept positive his new designs will be ready and delivered on time. He turned off his IPod and selected a couple of tracks that fitted the mood for the performance. He knew it all needed to be perfect.
