Her Sweetest Revenge

I rang the doorbell for the hundredth time still no one is coming to claim their order.

It's been 5 minutes, are they perhaps gone or something?

They can't be gone! I thought despairingly. I furrowed my brows trying not to get so worked up.

I mean, who orders something then leaves the house it's not that I even arrived late, I arrived on time.

I banged the door furiously this time till my arms hurt. I'm getting fed up like seriously, I have other orders to attend to. I guess I'll just have to take the order back.

I wanted to leave but on second thought, let me try one more time. After that am gone.

I knocked at the door then placed my ears on the door - No footsteps.

"Alright that's it, I'm leaving" I voiced out turning to leave, that's when I heard the door clicked and I adjusted my face cap.

Are they kidding me? So someone was inside and they didn't hear when I rang the damn doorbell? Or did they choose to ignore. I scoffed then I turned back facing the door.

Just then a woman came out, she was wearing a skimpy gown with her hair all messy and disheveled. Was she seriously sleeping? Gosh! I rolled my eyes.

She stood akimbo placing her hands on the doorbell, I raised a brow looking at her, I'm sure that bell is ringing repeatedly inside, doesn't she know that?

"Erm, ma'am your hand is on your doorbell" I told her pointedly

"It's alright, It doesn't work" she said and I looked at her slightly agape. Of course, no wonder. I groaned inwardly.

"Ma'am Your Order" I said stretching my hands with the pizza box to her.

"Oh thanks darling, I almost forgot I ordered those," she said to herself. As if! I scoffed.

I looked at the time on the watch on my left wrist, It's 7:00pm sharp. Two more deliveries until I'm done.

I hopped into my scooter bike

"Ma'am please fix your doorbell" I had to give an advice before I drove away.

I went to the next house, the delivery there was quick and finally the last house. It was smooth too, they all had working doorbells although they complained of lateness.Well, it wasn't my fault, it was little Mrs Skimpy's fault.

I finally returned to the Pizza Hut. So exhausted. I removed my face cap as I approached the counter and kept on a standing hanger close by. I dragged a stool close to the counter.

Iris was cleaning the place, here is always empty at night because people rarely come but rather they will just order online and I'll have to use the scooter to deliver.

Gosh, they should buy a van for late delivery, the night isn't safe for driving with scooter and it's terribly slow and stressful. We'll this is the last time I'll let my shift reach 7

"A glass of water please" I told her as I buried my face on the counter. What's stressful day. I heard a light thud on the counter, maybe she kept the water, I raised my head up and took the glass then drank it, it was cold and definitely wasn't water. I spilled it out

"Jeez Iris! what's this?" I asked almost immediately as I looked at the glass. It was transparent like water but had bubbles, didn't notice that earlier.

"Come on, drink up, it's energy booster..." She said and I squeezed my face, looking at the glass, I don't want any energy booster, I want to be tired. She pushed my hand with the glass to my mouth

"Drink up, Or have you forgotten you are going out with Chase?" she reminded and I spilled it again.

O M Goodness, I totally forgot. I sprang up from my seat and rushed into the "Employee's only". I removed my uniform and dress up, gosh if I remembered my date with Chase, I wouldn't have gotten tired.

I made sure I combed my straight brown hair and made it dangle on my shoulders, and my light blue eyes were just too perfect in mirrors, it looks like it makes mirrors sparkle. Hehe.

In no time I was done. I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked good with the red gown. I took my coat and finally left after much admiring of myself.

I saw Chase already seating on the counter talking with Iris. I approached him.

"Hi baby" he smiled as he saw me then he hugged me sideways delivering a peck on my cheek

"Shall we?" he asked as he got up pulling his arms out and I clutched my hands on his. I waved at Iris as we went out.

He boarded a taxi for us, he opened the door for me and i entered, then he used the other side. His fingers were clutched in mine as we drove quietly to our destination.

It was a nice bar, we prefer drinking and dancing than pretending to love going out and eating in restaurant, I mean why does a date have to be having dinner in a fancy place instead of having fun and getting drunk, hehe. The dinner is just so boring so we rather dance and have fun.

When we arrived we realized the bar is a clubbing ground today. Well, lucky for us, we enjoy clubs. The music was hot and loud, this can make a full party girl like me crazy. And I fell like I'm gonna go bonkers if Chase doesn't stop me.

We went to the counter

"4 cups of beers" he ordered.

"Daaaamn" I smirked biting my lips and he winked at me. I must drink 3 cups

I gulped in two beers, gosh this is so great and I think I'm feeling nauseous a little. Do I want to puke or it's getting me high, well that's just what I like.

I didn't mind, I took the third cup and drank all the content then got up to dance as my favorite song was played. Chase joined me afterwards.

We danced and danced until we were tired and I started feeling dizzy so we returned to the counter.

Chase's phone rang, everything was just twos but it seems that chase wasn't even affected, I mean duh, I drank three mugs of beer while he took one

"I'll take this outside, it's noisy here" he said and left but I heard 'Blah blah blah, blahblah'. I smiled and looked at the person that was sitting beside Chase tilting my head sideward

"Wooow! You have a tw..twin brother" I giggled and pointed at him, then my phone vibrated from my back pocket .

Hehe "Hey everyone my phone tickles" I chuckled as I removed it from my pocket.

"He.. Hey Ch...Chase my phone tickled me" I staggered as I tried walking outside to where chase said he'll be. I think I'm drunk because I'm going nuts.

I went there gawking at him. He was standing with a lady holding her hands.

"Ch...Chase why are you holding that lady's ha...hand?" I charged at him angrily about to give him a punch but rather I fell onto his chest. He held me tight preventing me from falling.

"Leavwe me, I'm gowing" I disengaged from his chest and started moving to no way in particular.

"Julissa come here, you need to go home, you're drunk" Chase held my hands as I was staggering while moving. I removed my hands from his grip

"Leavwe mwe" I yelled then continued moving, he couldn't stop me because I kept pushing him away. But he didn't stop following me.

Then we came to a place where crowds were gathering and cheering loudly. Chase finally caught me because I paused on seeing the crowd

"What the heck is happening there" Chase said looking at the huge crowd. It looked like it was a Red carpet event. Well what do I know, I'm drunk

"I want to gow" I pouted pointing at the place.

"No, let's go home. You are too drunk, you might create a scene" he said and I frowned then bit his hand, grimacing he let go of me

"Find Me if you can!" I giggled and ran into the crowd.

I moved around trying to hide from him, I couldn't move perfectly, as I was hitting and stepping on people.

"Juli?"

I heard his call and I giggled running further into the crowd. Running in this state is making me feel funky inside. I ran and fell injuring my legs, but as they say you can't feel pain when you're drunk.

So I just giggled as I saw my leg bleeding

I quickly got up and continued moving. Until I felt something preventing me from moving further, it was a barricade. It looked like I was at the front row now, I could clearly see the red carpet right in front of me.

I wanted to go over but someone held me back

"Hey! Dude, what's wrong with you! Don't do that" he said and I tilted my head looking at him

"I'm nowt a duwde" I said and punched him on the chest, I wanted the punch to be hard but It landed softly on his chest and he scoffed

"You're drunk"

I saw people clapping, I followed them not knowing what's going on.

"Yeawh! We're clawping" I giggled. Then I saw two cars packed at the end of the red carpet, then twins with the same clothes alighted from the cars and everyone cheered as they walked down the aisle. I couldn't really see who it was but I clapped too.

Four different cars packed in pairs too with people alighting as well. I tilted my head as the forth person alighted it's so weird how everyone is coming out and walking the aisle in twos.

Then the fifth car packed, the ovation was very very loud now. Then someone alighted, I couldn't see who it was but as he got out and started walking, I was beaten by his fragrance. Then...

O M Goodness, it's Dexter Brooks, my Damn Celebrity Crush. He is a cute actor, so young and famous.

I love him so much, I can't believe I am seeing him face to face, but how I wished I wasn't so drunk.

I just wish he will notice me now and perhaps give me his autograph. Well, all this drooling wasn't for me alone the whole place was on fire too. Him and his twin brother wearing the same clothes walked together down the aisle. Gosh I'm seeing things in twos and I can't see his face well.

I stretched my hands trying to touch him, but couldn't because of the barriers. I wished by just touching him, I'll have the chance to date him.

I felt that funky feeling again then I belched softly, but that didn't stop me.

I continued pushing myself stretching forth my hands to at least touch him because he was close to me. But unfortunately for me, I tumbled over the barrier and landed on the floor right in front of him.

I grinned as I looked up to him. He was wearing shades and I couldn't see his handsome face.

"I.. I..wawnt...yowr autograwph.."

I stretched forth my arm for him to sign his autograph but a man held my arms and carried me up, just then I couldn't control myself again. I puke on Dexter's clothes and immediately the cheering seized. Everyone gasped

"Ew! Get this imbecile out of here" I heard him say and I think my senses returned to me.

Oh no what have I done? My first impression with my Celeb Crush was a disaster.

The entourage dragged me away from the red-carpet to the pole on the streets.

What have I done?! I dragged my hair almost pulling it out.

I sat on the floor leaning on the pole. I couldn't believe my stupidity, I can't believe I met him - My celeb crush when I was drunk and I messed things up.

I've always imagined our first encounter to be marvellous, who knew it will turn out like this.

I smacked my forehead repeatedly, then groaned angrily as I looked at the arena I was thrown away from. Gosh this is so annoying, I'm so angry! I almost pulled my hair out.

"Hey hey! Juli stop!" Chase stopped me on time. Who knows what would have happened if he didn't. I would have

actually destroyed my hair

"What do you think you're doing?

"Pulling my hair out" I retorted pouting

"Come on, let me take you home. You're drunk" he said trying to help me up, I pushed his hands away and got up by myself

"I'm very fine now! I believe very well, that I am no more drunk, I'm sober now" I staggered a bit as I got up, but Chase supported me.

Gosh, I can't remember anything, I remember going to a club with Chase how did I even get here?

Jeez, how I wished I didn't even come here, I still feel awful

"How did I get here?" I asked him as we strolled away from the red carpet event.

He paused and looked at me saying "Wait! Do you mean you don't remember anything?" he asked vaguely and I nodded with a raised brow

"Is there something, I'm supposed to remember?"

"Nope, not at all. Let's just go home" he said and I sighed.

We boarded a taxi and he dropped me off

"Bye" I waved at him as he drove off.

"Iris better not be sleeping, she needs to listen to my predicaments - which was so so so... ugh" I groaned.

I reached into my pockets to carry my phone, but it wasn't there.

What the...! My phone! No no I just got it, it can't be missing. I turned all my pockets inside out, I looked at the floor and my side purse and I couldn't still find it. At least my purse is still with me.

No no no, I'm so dead, I finally bought the recent model with a quarter of my savings and now it's missing, I need to find it.

I boarded a taxi to the club, that's the last place I think I remember using my phone. Gosh, but where could it be? I checked the counter, the tables and couches.

Hold on, ohh no! What if someone took it? Darn. Or maybe it was at the red-carpet I dropped it or the taxi we boarded.

Darn it, there are so many options and I don't know which one, I'll have to find it.

I got out of the club angrily, but even if I want to check all those places, I'll only be lucky if someone didn't take it first. And jeez, how will I even check taxi.

That's it, no hope for finding it, it's gone I've lost it. As I was walking, I stepped on something close to the pole beside the club. I checked it out and it was my phone, the screen had been destroyed, it looked like someone with a thin heels stepped on it.

Gosh! I removed the SIM card and tossed it away, it's of no use now.

I went to the stairs close to a little flower port besides the streets and sat down cupping my chin. Could this day get any worse.

Then Dexter popped into my mind and I pouted, Why was our first encounter so horrible. I need to apologize to this guy.

I've watched movies how celebrities falls in love with commoners, though they always have a rough start. Maybe what just happened isn't bad after all, it could still work out for me. I squealed inwardly

Luckily for me, there was a store nearby. I bought a small notebook then returned to where I sat. I tore from it and scribbled down something.

'Sorry for messing your suit' I wrote down then plucked 4 shoot of flowers and went to the red-carpet. I put them in my coat.

I'll need to go through backdoor but the guards are always there, how do I get pass them.

I saw people delivering something and passing through the backdoor, I'll pretend to be one of them. When the last person carried, and no one was near the van, I carried a package as well in a way that hid my face. I walked calmly and approached the guard.

"Your ID ma'am" They are checking ID's? Darn.

"Eh eh.. Humble Sir, I forgot it in our van, l'll get it next time I want to drop another package" I chuckled nervously and rushed to the door and his hands blocked me.

"Sorry ma'am, No ID, no entry" he pointed out and I sighed with a bleak look, returning the package to the van. I went away from the van, now how will I give him this gift.

Just then I saw an angry man coming out from the backstage shouting to someone on the phone

"What's that all about!" I furrowed my brows

"Get the damn clothes now!" he barked as he approached the roadside.

Oops it's my fault, I'm sure he's talking about Dexter. Maybe that's his manager or something. I'll give him instead.

Oh gosh please don't shout at me.

I approached him and suddenly heard him screaming "One crazy girl ruined his shirt" I paused and I went back quickly.

"I think I'll talk to him when he's done" I chuckled nervously

I waited silently and patiently until he was done calling, cause I can't disturb him in that state.

When it looked like he was calmed I approached him.

"Good evening Sir" I greeted and he immediately turned back angrily. He's still mad. I gotta hurry.

He looked at me narrowing his eyes maybe trying to recall where he saw me which I definitely don't want to happen.

I hurriedly handed over the flower and note to him

"Please Give Dexter for me, I feel bad for what that Crazy girl did to his shirt. I am a fan! " I said chickening out and ran away quickly without turning back.

Hew! what a relief, at least a weight was lifted off my shoulder.

I boarded a taxi back home. Gosh, I wonder what the time is? I'm sure it's midnight already.

Mom and Iris must be asleep now.

Yeah, Iris lives with us as well.

I gently opened the door and checked the wall clock hanging in the living room

"Whoa-o, it was 3am" That's so late, I need a nap. I closed the door and went straight to my room but tripped on my pillow and fell landing flat on my stomach.

"Ouch" I grimaced.

Hold on, why is my pillow on the floor. Then suddenly I gagged. Oh no, oh no.

I rushed to the bathroom and puked.

Oh no, That's the disadvantage of getting drunk, the puking...

I'm Julissa Raymond, a beautiful young lady of 25 years. I'm not really tall, I'll say average and slim, I won't say thin because I am more of a thick girl.

I have a shoulder length brown straight hair and light blue eyes. Seeing such a beautiful girl like me, you shouldn't mistake me as a gentle nicey nicey girl.

I am not, I love being loud partying and the talk of the town, mostly in a good way.

And most importantly, I am famous - Na, I'm not really famous that is just what I normally think of, it had never happened before.

I want to be famous but I'm cool and patient waiting for it and I'm sure it'll happen when I finally get to touch Dexter, Oh wait... I did touch him today. Yippee it's gonna come to pass I'm sure.

I'm more of a talk a lot miss - for my head alone. I love talking to myself alot and creating images and imagination, I think it's getting me insane - well, I ain't gonna stop, Hehe.

Sometimes I actually feel like I'm talking to someone, maybe I am–who knows.

I am 25 and I still live with my mom at LOS ANGELES in a small duplex with 3 bedrooms. Though I'm from Texas.

Yeah, that shouldn't sound weird because I feel like I am married to my mom she doesn't want me to go. IIris and I wanted renting a house to stay together but my mom insists that Iris stays with us. I guess mom just misses dad who she sees in me. I'm a carbon copy of dad literally.

My dad died when I was 5, I am the only child of my mom and I think that is why she's holding me tightly in her arms not letting go. Well I don't have a problem with it, I'm perfectly fine and I don't want to leave her either.

Iris is my best friend, what we tag BFF, she is from Texas as well and has been with me since 4th grade through thick and thin and I too with her.

Her parents are always too busy for her, they normally leave her at home with a caretaker and travel to Paris - that's where their business is, for like a year. I even wonder why they built a house and are living here in LA, well I'm glad they are living here or else I wouldn't have found my BFF. Most times she stays with my mom and I.

When we were done with school and wanted a job Iris parent wanted her to join them but she rejected the offer and decided to cater for herself. They didn't mind. Though they send her money every month, she will just use it to help pay rent. She's such a sweetheart and we take her as family.

Iris is a beautiful thick talk girl with black hair and black eyes. She's so smart, can you believe I come to her for advice? She's so perfect

And Chase is my sweetheart, and a cute blonde as well, with his grey eyes. He looks like a Russian but he's definitely from Africa - Egypt. But why the blonde hair? I wondered I've never asked maybe he's half Egyptian because I've not seen a blonde Egypt boy.

Anyways, we have been dating for a year now, he works at a bakery, he's a great chef and the best boyfriend I could ask for, he understands me and likes almost everything I like... but he's nothing compared to my handsome celebrity crush

Dexter Brooks, so dreamy I don't remember the last time I thought of him without drooling. Dexter Brooks has been my celebrity crush ever since I was 18, whoa that's 7 years and I still have a huge crush on him, Ever since Iris introduced me to an interesting movie he acted, I have been in love with watching all his movies - I think I am obsessed with him.

People might say it is not an obsession but crush but I'll say it's a deadly obsession because I know almost everything about him, his life and I can even say the number of hair on his head. Dexter is the second famous actor that I know, he's so cute with his deep brown hair and grey eyes, awwn, so cute. I think I'm into grey eyes. Hehe

He has been acting for 10 years now and he's finally a director. None of his movies are ever boring. He is from Dallas, yeeeeaah that's also in Texas - so cool.

He has a brother which he utterly doesn't want to tell anyone about but I'll soon find out, I mean I know everything about him so I must know his brother.

There is a lot to say about Dexter, I can't still believe I actually stood in front of him if I was sober I wouldn't have ruin the opportunity, I would've gotten at least his autograph. But darn it! things had to turn out that way. Dexter is...

"Juli Juli Juli" I felt a small tap on my cheeks, darn it, someone is walking me up, I guess I'll stop there.

I opened my eyes slowly to see Iris with her bathrobe tapping me

"Finally you're awake" she said

"Now can I take my bath" she said and I jumped up, looking around, I was in the bathroom.

Jeez! I can't believe I slept here, "Sorry" I apologized and went to the room falling on my bed, I looked at the time it was 7. Alright just 10 mint sleep and I'll get up preparing for work.

I closed my eyes and opened almost immediately, Whoa did I say 10mint, gosh I better get up now.

I got up and looked at the time 8:15, what? 1hr 15mint? It felt like a sec. No no no, I can't be late I don't want to ruin my streak I'm almost close to being employee of the month, I rushed into the bathroom

"I'm so gonna kill Iris, if she left without telling me"
