My Celebrity Crush

Tamara's POV

The shrilling sound of my alarm penetrated into my ears.

"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed, while jerking up from my sleep. I just hope I wouldn't die soon of heart attack, this alarm would never cease to startle the hell out of me.

I fumed inwardly, while glaring at it on the nightstand beside my bed.

I placed a hand on my chest and released a sigh of relief.

"Stupid thing" I muttered and slowly crawled out the bed.

I should better start preparing for today's activity.

I stepped into the bathroom, I picked my yellow toothbrush and applied some toothpaste before brushing my teeth.

I was done brushing after a while, I hurriedly uncladded myself and stepped under the shower to have my bath.

After some minutes,

I rushed out of the bathroom and got to where my small bag was lying, I really don't have much wears anymore but that's my least problem for now in as much as I don't go around naked, then people should feel free to say whatever they want.

I quickly I applied my body lotion even if i don't have dresses, I should always glow in my own world right?. I put on my jean trouser and yellow hoodie. Yellow was one of favorite color.

Gosh! .. Not again! I almost scream loudly.

Why do I always forget to wash this goddamn shoe? Well.. It's not my fault though, I resumes by 8:00am and close at exactly 8:00pm.

Whoa.. Talking about the time, it was almost my resumption time and I am still here, talking to God knows.

In a blink, I used a rag to clean up my only shoe and rushed out of my room, hoping not to meet him in the living room.

I was glad I didn't met him, I quickly motioned to the main door and stepped out.

It's another beautiful day.. Hmmm

I walked alongside with a young pretty girl in the pedestrian lane. Yes, I actually walked down to my working place everyday since where I live to my working place is just a throw stone and..

Oops! Pardon my manners I haven't introduced myself yet, I love talking so much.

My name is Tamara but you can simply call me Mara. I am Twenty one years old. I am light skinned with a very long and silky black hair which I love most about myself because I barely have time to take proper care of my hair.

And yes.. You need to see my dark blue eyes it's another reason I stopped regretting why I was brought to this earth. I so much love it! I was born and brought up here in Paris.

My childhood experience was not like that of other children and that was because I had lost my mother since birth. According to what I heard, my mom gave up to ghost while giving birth to me. And belive me when I say, It's so painful my Dad still blames me for my Mom's death.

He would always remind me that i brought nothing but bad luck into the Family, so that brought his strong hatred towards me.

He despises, he hates me, he doesn't like to spot me around him. He always find joy in hurting me, seeing me in despair pleases him so much.

My eyes became soaked as I remembered that night he had forcefully took my virginity, I cried, I begged him, but it all turned to his deaf ears.

I wiped the tears that were now rolling down my cheeks - Mom was not being fair, she should have just took me along with her, this life doesn't worth living. Well, except for the fact that I was still hoping to meet my one and only Celebrity Crush, RODNEY SHAW.

He has been my only source of comfort and happiness right from teen. Rodney has been singing since when he was four years old. But he started his acting career five years ago. He's just too good.

I am very sure I'm not the only die hard fan of Rodney, but if we are to be rated, I would definitely come first. His angelic voice melted my heart each time I listen to his songs, I always imagined myself sitting next to him whenever he appears on my TV screen.

A wide smile crept up on my face.

Rodney Shaw was all i have, although, I only get to meet him in my dreams and most times, I talk to his pictures whenever i am depressed. But I was still glad that I am fortunate to see him in my dreams, some ladies might even be praying to be in my shoes.

I didn't quite fancy cute guys or something, but I guess there's something that got me connected to Rodney. For Crush sake! I've been crushing on this guy since I was little and I never for once met him. Pathetic, right?

My Dad never permitted me to attend any of his shows, I could remember vividly when he had a concert in the city, I tried my possible best to sneak out but unfortunately for me, I was caught and I was grounded for straight two weeks. So ever since, I gave up and ride on with my loner life.

I was still in my deep thought when a car suddenly halted in front of me and it was not just a car, I mean a fascinating and breathtaking one.

Oh my world... Obviously, the car owner was stinkingly rich.

I was still admiring the car when a guy in black suit suddenly came down from the expensive car, he walked to the other side of the car and pulled the side door opened. The person slowly alighted from the car, one could tell from the figure that it was a man. He was backing me at first, but when he turned towards my direction, I could feel my heart beat stopped.

"What?!" I shrieked.

Was I imagining things again?

-Tamara-

"What?" I shrieked.

This can't be true.

I mean if this is actually one of my dreams then I better wake up already.

I batted my eyelashes rapidly to ensure i was not dreaming, But Hell no! I am not dreaming right now, the Almighty Rodney Shaw standing few meters away from my working place.

Without thinking, I scurried to where he was standing and jumped on him, happily.

Oh goodness gracious!

He's real.

I wasn't dreaming nor hallucinating.

It was really my Rodney Shaw- the love of my life.

His guard tried pushing me away but I didn't oblige.

What a dream come true!

Who would have thought I would be embracing Rodney right now, inhaling his massive scent.

I couldn't help but smile sheepishly to myself as I buried my head in his chest. Suddenly, I was brought out of my thought when someone pushed me with force and before I knew it, I was on the bare floor.

"Ouch!"

"That hurts" I yelped, silently.

But he only gave me a hard long stare and I couldn't even remove my gaze from his well structured face. We stared at each other's face for what seems like forever. And after a while, He adjusted his suit and with that, he walked away with his guard following behind.

"What a jerk!" I muttered, while watching his back.

The least he could have done is to say "Hi"... I thought inwardly.

I stood on my feet and cleaned myself before dragging myself into the workshop

"Hey!" Alicia-my colleague greeted, cheerfully.

"Hi" I returned the greeting with a light smile.

I was hoping no one saw the incident that transpired between Rodney and I just now. But hold on, what the heck was he doing in this neighborhood. He's not supposed be in this area walking freely without hiding his face or something.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I jerked up immediately.

Oh.. Alicia was still talking.

"Why did you zone out? " She asked

"What are you thinking about?" She added.

I just smiled and shook my head.

"It's nothing Alicia" I replied, faintly.

She rolled her big eyes on me and I laughed.

"You know you look funny when you do that" I told her, still smiling.

I told her but she only shrugged. I knew she's not satisfied with my reply, she's the only person I confined in, she truly cares about me and I do appreciate that most times. But telling her I was embarrassed by the guy i love with all my heart is out of it. She wouldn't even believe me, she might say it was one of my daydream.

I changed into staff wears and headed out take orders.

Working was moving smoothly but I couldn't stop thinking about my encounter with Rodney earlier. I never imagined to meet him in such

andurd manner. Though, I normally heard he's so arrogant but I never believed it until today. But nevertheless, I still count myself lucky.

Meeting him this morning was just so great!

A wide grin plastered on my face while I reminisced how I had hugged him tight to myself, maybe he wouldn't have pushed me away had it been I didn't jump on him, but I couldn't contain my happiness.

I laughed out loud when I remembered how he

had pushed me, causing me to land my ass on the floor. So funny!

I was quiet surprised when I realized that customers gaze were on me. "What's up with them? " oh.. the laugh? Was it that loud? I asked myself.

I bowed a little and they all continued with their businesses.

I quickly turned to leave, feeling ashamed of myself.

I was on my way to the staff quarter when I bumped into Alicia. Thank goodness the hot coffee she was carrying didn't pour on me.

"Jeez"I groaned.

"Sorry about that" Alicia quickly apologized and walked past me.

"Clumsy Mara" I muttered to myself before leaving for where I was going.

I returned to my seat after giving the customers their orders and all of a sudden, everywhere became silent.

Huh?

What could be the problem? I sprang on my feet and stepped out to satisfy my curiosity.

And there he was, standing gloriously with his

both hands tucked in his trouser pocket and looking more handsome than earlier. I saw this face this morning but it was not as handsome as this one I am staring at right now. So it was not an imagination after all, I really saw him this morning.

"But what is he doing here in this old fashioned coffee shop?" I murmured.

I was lost staring at him that I didn't even notice Alicia presence.

She was also drooling at the sight before her-Only a blind person wouldn't drool right now.

My heart trembled as soon as reality hit me.

He's here to arrest me?

Oh my... He's really here to arrest me for jumping on him earlier today.

Oh no..

What do I do?

My hands became sweaty as I took my eyes to somewhere else, avoiding his eyes.

Gazes from all angle were centered on him but he seems less bothered as he just kept his straight face.

He suddenly made a move and started approaching where Alicia and I were standing.

Please don't tell me he's here to arrest me for jumping on him this morning, tell me he's not here to punish me.

Oh Mara.. You are doomed!

I gulped nervous.

I couldn't move, my feet were just glued to the tiled floor and my heart wouldn't stop racing so fast.

Oh goodness.. What's this?

What have I caused myself?

We were just an inch away from each other.

His gaze on me was so intensed that I felt shiver.

He closed up the space between us, without removing his gaze from my face.

"Get me a cup of coffee" He finally ordered, in a cold and authoritative voice.

I stared at my own feet, unable to comprehend what he'd just said. And immediately I processed it, I scurried off to make his order, with Alicia behind me.

You're screwed, Mara!

Rodney Shaw's Pov

I hummed to one of my music album, while stepped out of the bathroom, dripping wet. A white towel was wrapped around my waist.

I strode to where the dressing mirror was standing to check my gracious self out.

I stood in front of the mirror taking in my perfect abs, my curly dark hair, that cute pink lips any lady would kill to have a taste.

So perfect!

"Why are you so perfect?" I asked myself.

"It's because you are exceptional" my subconscious mind replied.

"Thanks buddy" I told him and smiled.

After a brief while, I was done dressing and ready to leave my room when a knock came by.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"It's Marian, sir" A maid replied.

"I came to tell you breakfast fast is ready" she added.

"Oh.. I will be there in a jiffy" I told her and she left.

I gulped down the rest of my coffee and stepped out.

I was replying a message on my cellphone when the gatekeeper walked up to me and bowed a little before speaking up.

"Mr Rodney, that woman is here to see you again" He announced.

I stared at his face, which woman was he talking about? I was still wondering who the woman could be when her image suddenly appeared.

I frowned instantly,hoping she's not the woman he was referring to.

"Where's she?" I asked him.

"She's outside the compound, sir" He replied ,politely.

"Let's go" I told him and quickly walked ahead him.

Anger laced through me immediately I saw her standing in front of my gate.

She's here again?

This early? Isn't she tired already?

"What are you doing here?" I grunted.

"Son..." She was saying but I cut in rudely.

"Don't you ever call me that again!" I shot at her ,fiercely.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have a son here? huh!" I yelled.

She just stood there crying profusely but I care less.

She wiped her tears as she moved closer, she tried touching me but I stopped her with my hand.

"Rodney, I know you are very mad at me. And of course you have the right to be pissed at me but all I want from you is just a chance, I need you to hear me out son. It was not my fault, I wouldn't just leave.." She was saying again but I interrupted her.

"Listen and listen very good woman, the next time I see you ten feet away from my house, I promise to have you lock up and I mean it"I threatened sternly and walked back into the garage, where my car has been opened by my Personal Assistant- Henry.

"We are here, sir" Henry announced jolting me out of my thought.

I didn't even realized the car has halted.

That woman has succeeded in ruining my day already, I don't wanna ever see her again but she wouldn't listen.

I groaned loudly with an eye roll.

I stepped out from the car and my eyes widened, instantly.

"What the heck?" I grimaced.

"Why would Mr Houston hold a meeting in such an absurd area?" I asked my PA with total disgust.

I was still looking around, contemplating if I should use a facial mask so that my identity would not be revealed when a clumsy girl jumped on me out of nowhere, embracing me tightly.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

Was she out of her mind? I thought.

Henry was even trying to pull her away from me but she didn't move.

Okay.

I had enough already.

With all the strength in me, I pushed her and she landed her butt on the floor.

Is she crazy?

Why would she jump on me like that?

I stared down at her and she equally kept the gaze.

What a girl?

I adjusted my suit and walked away with Henry behind me.

I was welcome by all the board members of the company.

It was so obvious Mr Houston was honored by my presence.

But he should be grateful to Dad cause I wouldn't be here if he had not persuaded me to.

"I am so glad you could make it, Mr Rodney" Mr Houston said for the umpteenth time while walking me out of the company.

"You are welcome" I said with a smile.

"But hold on.. Why would you held a meeting in such an unpleasant area? "I stopped walking and asked.

"I am so sorry Mr Rodney, the meeting was not planed well initially like I told you, and you know the company is also occupied, so I suggested this hotel." He explained.

"The vicinity might look local but the hotel isn't bad right? " he added.

But I only shrugged- I wouldn't deny the fact that the hotel looks magnificent anyway.

I continued with my walk with Mr Houston beside me.

We got to where my car was parked and Mr Houston won't stop thanking me.

We shared an handshake before he walked away.

I sighed deeply and was about entering my car when I glanced up and saw a familiar face from the transparent door of the coffee shop.

"I've seen this face before" I muttered.

"Yea.. She's the same girl that jumped on you this morning" Henry said beside me.

"Oh"

Let's have some fun then!

I walked towards the glass door with Henry trailing behind me.

I pulled it open and yes!-She was truly the clumsy girl.

She works here?

All eyes on me but it doesn't matter, I am only here because of this lady.

She came out of the counter and our gazes locked.

Instantly, she became frightened.

I counted my steps to where she was standing without removing my gaze.

A blonde girl was also standing beside her, she was also staring like her life depends on it.

With my hands in my pocket, I watches her naive face for some moments. She lowered her head as she couldn't look up at my face.

"Get me a cup of coffee" I finally ordered and she flinched.

She quickly scurried off with her partner.

Within a sec she was back with the cup of coffee.

And the game begins... I smiled inwardly.

"Who asked you to bring my coffee?" I asked

her, bluntly.

"But..you..you..ordered..for..a cup of coffee" She stuttered and I scoffed.

"I am not denying it, but I didn't ordered it from you I was talking to your colleague, not you" I said and I could see the disappointed look on her face but who cares, I just wanna have some fun.

"But don't worry since you are a die hard fan, I would just over look it" I told her and her face brightened a bit.

I sipped a little from the coffee and I spat it immediately.

"You added salt to my coffee!" I half yelled and

I watch as everyone gasped in surprised.

"No.. no I didn't do such, I swear" she replied shakily.

"You know I can sue you for this right, where's your manager?" I demanded, spranging on my feet.

"Please.. I am so sorry I will get you another cup of coffee right away but please don't do this" She replied trying to fight back her tears and I almost laugh.

I almost laugh at her clumsiness attitude, she should just have a taste from the coffee and face me squarely for pulling her legs.

So clumsy.

"Alright, I won't report you " I told her before she

would flood the entire place with her tears.

"But don't try this with me next time, okay? " I told her with a cold voice and she nodded curtly.

I adjusted my suit before walking towards the door.

I glanced back and met her gaze and I couldn't help but wink at her before I finally walked out of the coffee shop.

I heard the customers applaud and I smiled.

"What a day?! " I said with a deep sigh.

•Tamara•

"Today was absolutely one of the best day in my whole life" I screamed happily along the pedestrian lane and the few people around glanced at me.

Whatever.

I couldn't stop recalling that moment with Rodney Shaw.

He was so sweet.

At first, I was frightened by his presence.

I almost developed high blood pressure when he had said I added salt to his coffee.

Jeez!

I cried because of that? -Funny!

I still can't believe I fell for his prank.

Uhmm...

Looking forward to meet him again- very soon.

Shortly, I was home.

I stepped into the dark living room and was trying to find my way to my room.

"Welcome home, princess" I heard his baritone voice and I flinched.

Holy Jesus!
