?WE FINALLY MET?*
Episode 01.
“Anna, I love you”Dave said looking into my eyes. “I love you too.”I said smiling. We were both standing close to each other. Dave wrapped his arm around my wai-st and was leaning in to ki-ss me. “Oh my God! This is the time I’ve been waiting for all my life. I can’t believe it’s about to happen. Dave and I are about to ki-ss right now. ki-ss ki-ss ki-ss ki-ss. The word keep ringing in my head as I shut my eyes ti-ghtly expecting his li-ps to touch mine. I pouted my li-ps out expecting the ki-ss which feels like it’s taking forever for his li-ps to touch mine.
“Annabel!!!”I head my name and my eyes were widely opened. Before me, was standing racheal, my best friend. She was staring at me strangely and immediately, I raised up my head knowing I had been dreaming since.”What the f–k are you doing?”she asked staring at me. “Oh gosh! Why did you have to shout my name that way? You should have waited a little bit. That was close. You ruined everything”I said feeling bad. “What’s she talking about?”rachael asked. “Never mind. Why are you in my room”I asked scratching the back of my head. “What! Have you forgotten we are going somewhere tonight?”she asked and I remembered immediately. “Oh that’s true.”I said and quickly climbed down from bed.
We are going to Dave’s concert tonight. You guys are wondering who dave is?
Well dave is my boyfriend. He’s a celebrity. Singer, artist and a model. I fell for him from the first day I saw his picture and some of his performance. Did I mentioned my boyfriend earlier? Oh sorry. He doesn’t even know me. We’ve not met before for real except I watch him perform on stage and in videos. I had a very hu-ge crush on him which I can’t get over it no matter what. Let’s say we are dating only in my dreams. My room right now is full of his stickers and posters. The pouch of my phone has his sticker on it too. I really love dave so much that I wish I can be his cell phone if that will keep me so close to him everyday. Lol. Am crazy right. Well, that’s how much I love him.
After we are dressed and ready to leave, I took my car key and headed out with Rachael.
Soon, we were at the concert. We used our tickets to get in and I feel so happy that am about to see my love again. When we got in, the place was crowded with people. Obviously am not the only girl that’ll have crush on dave. He has so many female fans too.
We stood somewhere among the crowd. Soon, he was coming up on stage. Everyone cheers and were screaming including me. I kept jumping up waving my hand in excitement. “Dave! I love you!”I screamed on top of my voice even tho he can’t hear me. He took the mic and shouted “hello everyone” they all replied hey. And when everywhere was a bit quiet, he began his performance. I could not keep calm throu-ghout the show. I was recording with my phone and cheering for him.
Minutes later after the concert, Rachael and I were both heading out. “Hope you enjoyed it? I told you he’s cool”I said to her smiling. The way I was sweating, someone would think I was the one that just finished performing on stage. I dried face with hankie. “Yeah yeah. He’s a bit cool”Rachael said out of concern. “A bit? Like seriously. I don’t know why you don’t like dave. I mean he’s hot, s-×y, talented, he has every charisma of a perfect man.”I said to her. “Whatever. Let’s just go home. am tired as f–k.”she said looking exhausted.
On getting to the sp-ot where we packed my car, the black sport car before us wanted to drive out but it mistakenly bumped into my car and left a hu-ge scratch on it. “Oh my God!”rachael said covering her mouth. It stopped and a guy came down. I quickly rushed to my car looking closely at the damage. “You just scratched my car. Oh my God. Why are you not careful?”i asked almost in anger as looked at the guy shooting daggers with my eyes. “Am very sorry ma’am. I’ll pay you for the damages”he said apologizing. “Who said I nee-d your money? You should have been more careful that’s what am saying.”I said. “Oh my God! It’s so much.”I said touching it. “Am very sorry”he said. I looked at the other car and noticed the other guy who drove it was not even coming down to apologise. I became more angry and looked up at the guy before me. “Let him do the apology instead. Since he was the one who caused this damage”I said looking at him. “Him?”the guy asked staring at me. “Yes him. The driver”I said. “No miss. It’s not his fault, so please I’ll pay for everything.”he said. Rachael was staring at the drama not saying anything. I ignored the guy and moved to their car to meet the driver. Rachael followed me holding my hand. “Anna please let’s settle this and just go”she said. I knocked on the windscreen of the car. “Sorry miss. I think you’re trespas-sing.”the guy said coming to me. “Trespas-sing?”I asked looking at him badly. “I mean we can settle this peacefully. I apologized to you and you said you don’t want money for the damages then what else do you want?”he asked looking at me. “What I want?”I asked. “What I want is for the person that hit my car to apologize to me directly. simple”I said looking at him. “The person can’t get down right now. because……”he didn’t finished his statement before the car door opened and the guy stepped down. He shut the car door and faced me.
“I am very sorry for the damages miss. I should had drive carefully. Please I apologize for it. And we can pay for the damages if that will ease your temper.”he said looking at me. I froze in shock and disbelief. “Dave…”the other guy called but he faced him and nodded his head with a smile. He brou-ght out his wallet and wanted to pay for the mess. He was super handsome in person. He spoke softly and fluently. I couldn’t breath properly because I held my breath the moment I saw his face. I looked at Rachael with my mouth still hung open. She was surprised as well. It would be better if this is not another dream. If it turns out to be a dream, I won’t sleep for a whole week. I thought to myself In surprised. I stares at him not able to say a word.
*?WE FINALLY MET?*
Episode 02.
The anger in me just faded away. I can’t believe I finally met Dave. Everything just felt like a dream but it’s reality. “Here”he said stretching the money to me.
“No. Don’t worry about it. I don’t know it’s your car.”I said. “No. Am at fault. I can give you more if this won’t be enough. Please just accept it”he insisted. “It’s ok. Am very sorry for causing a scene. Am not a girl like that. It’s just that I was not in my right sense earlier”I said feeling bad. I did nothing wrong am the one apologizing right now. I don’t even know what am doing again. Rachael looks at me. I guess she was about to laugh but was controlling it. “Ok. If you insist.”dave said taking back the money. “I’m sorry once again”he said before turning to go into the car. I feel like holding him back not to go. “Please don’t go. Stay for a while please. Don’t leave me Dave”I was thinking this to myself staring at him. He got into the car and was driving off. I stood there looking like a nuisance. Rachael bursted out into laughter. “I know you’ll do that”I said not looking at her. “like seriously. He’s so s-×y for real but can’t believe that was Annabel earlier.”she said. “I told you he’s amazing”I said. “How I wish I can get the chance to meet him again”I said feeling sad. “You’ll definitely meet him again. He’s your soulmate. Let’s just go home for now or you plan to sleep there?”Rachael asked heading to the car. I turned back and headed after her.
***** Dave’s POV *****
“Are you ok?”Mick asked. “Do you think I’m OK?”I replied. “Am sorry for not taking proper care of it”he apologized.
“Some girl are just so crazy but I have to act all nice because of my name. I can’t let something like that turn to big thing you know. I have to be careful and control my temper because they are my fans”I said. I turn on the radio and was driving a bit fas-ter. We got home and Michael suggested we go clubbing. I refused but later think it’s great idea just to catch some fun so we left for club.
…..Annabel’s pov…..
Four days later, after work, I got home really exhausted. I went to the fridge to take some water.
Am living all alone except if rachael comes to visit once in a while. Mum died a long time ago while my dad got married to another woman. Madam Lisa. She’s a very cunning woman and she has a daughter too. Regina. She’s the same age as me but I senior her with three months which made me the elder sister. I was living with them before but when everything turns out bad between all of us, I packed out of my dad’s house and relocated choosing to live alone. I got myself a job as a chef in a standard restaurant where I got paid well. I used that to take care of myself. Dad use to call to ask after me but I don’t like picking his calls because he chose those people over me his lovely daughter. Madam Lisa is as evil as the devil and I know she’s behind all this. Dad is a great successful business man. Am just 22. when I left home, I chose to live as just as a normal happy person. It’s good this way because I have peace of mind and gained my freedom. I went to my room preparing to sleep because I had dinner at work. I took my phone and was surfing the internet.
I saw an article about Dave which really made me clic-k on it.
Then I saw the news.
“Dave for-ced to ra-pe a lady at a club because he was drunk.”I saw that and my head was spinning. I saw some pictures un-der it too. In a picture, he was half nak-ed sleeping on a lady. And another pics they rolled over to the edge of the bed with the lady trying to free herself.
The images were so real but how in the world could this happen. Dave can never do something like that. This is a setup. No Dave can’t do it. I believe he can’t. I thought to myself staring at the screen of my phone. I went un-der comments and saw people saying bad shits about him already.
“He’s a perverted je-rk.
“I can’t believed he can do such. That’s so bad of him.
“F–k him!”
“Am unfollowing him right now.”
“He doesn’t deserve my love anymore”
“This can’t be true. Could it be setup?”
“It can’t be. Maybe that’s who he truly his. A rapist”
I slammed my phone ha-rd on the sofa to stop myself from reading the comments. “This can’t be happening. What in the world happened to Dave?”I said feeling bad.
***** Dave’s POV *****
“What should we do?”Michael asked as I was moving to and fro in my room. I could not get out because reporters and everywhere waiting for me to show up.
I was set up. I didn’t do anything like that. I don’t Even know how I got to the room I found myself. I could remember how I went to a club with Michael. The last thing I could remember was drinking a cu-p of wine when Michael went out to receive a call.
I asked him what happened to me but he claimed not to know cause he couldn’t find me again when he got back.
Who did this to me? The lady’s face was not even showing in the picture. I couldn’t trace anything from the picture.
How do I start? My reputation was dragged to the mud with this incident. How am I going to face the crowd again. Why would anyone want to ruin my career for no reason? Why?
