š©āāļøCharlotte Meyersš©āāļø š¶"Rain on me, rain rain! rain on me!"š¶ My phone is ringing, I was enjoying my sleep, why did you have to call just this moment? I was about to kiss Jake Reid in my dreams! Urghh! who the fuck is calling me this early in the morningšŖšŖ "What is it!!" I said grumpily into the phone after picking up. The person on the other end of the call chuckled, I looked at my phone screen to see who it was that called to make jest of me this early on a Saturday morning, the only day in the week that I'm off duty. Oh guess what? UNKNOWN NUMBER was boldly written on the screen as the caller ID. Is this a prank call? Seriously? "Hey are you crazy? did you call to make fun of me?" I'm getting so annoyed right now, what right does this person have to wake me up? I deserve rest and not to be disturbed by a prank caller early on a Saturday morning. "Calm down!" It's a masculine and it sounds so cool, Oh soothing and familiar! "Who are you?" I asked, not so calm now but
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE MEYERS š©āāļøš©āāļøāThanksā Ma, I enjoyed the meal, it was so deliciousā Ontario appreciated as he made to leave our house after consuming all of our breakfast. Grr! Eat at your own house, Mr.All he cares about is food and food alone, Imagine him leaving immediately after the meal, Normal people would stay for a while and hangout but No! Not Ontario Reyes. Mtcheeww! He should be tagged Minister for food affairs or something.āHey Ugly Doctor you look like youāre gonna cry!ā The fool started to say looking at my face āyouāre gonna miss me right?āWhat? Miss him? whatās he feeling like? Boy I only look this way because Iām trying to figure out what goes on in your head and all I can see is food, my motherās food precisely.āWhat are you feeling like? Me miss you? In your nightmares!ā I retortedHe gave a slight grin and hugged my mom and walked towards the door, he was about to open the door but he stopped in his tracks like he forgot something, and inst
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE MEYERS š©āāļøIf I do not reply his texts will he keep on sending more dresses? What kind of guy spends this much money for just one date? this dresses are both lovely though! Do I reply his texts or make him keep on sending clothes? I mean if he wants to spend his money on me, then who am I to stop him? š©š© "You don't like this one too?" A new text from Jake.š©š©What the? he is acting like it's the first time he's asked a lady on a date, or is it? There is really no news about his relationship status online or anywhere. I mean on blog once painted him as asexual but the post was deleted less than 24 hours later.I better reply him before he squanders his account balance on getting me the perfect dress, thatāll be nice though, Iāll just sell out the dresses and keep the money, probably invest in good business and get Khloe life long supply of insulin. Ha š"The first dress is really pretty, there was no need for the second one" I typed on my phone, I
š«JAKE REIDš« I parked my car right in front of Charlotte Meyers' apartment at exactly 7:00pm. I adjust my tuxedo, wait is it right to wear a tux on a date? yeah right. Come On Jake, you've acted in way too many movies to be nervous on this date, just relax and you'll do great. Heaving a deep sigh, I walked to the front door and rang the doorbell twice before the door was answered. A cute and adorable little face came into my view immediately, this little one bears a very striking resemblance to Doctor Silly, Oops! I mean Charlotte. This must be Khloe, her little sister who is low on sugar. I did my research on her family. Why not? I need to know who it was that Iām going out with. "Hi, little one" I greeted bending low so we were on the same level and by the way, she hadn't let me in by now, I was still at the door. "Who are you and what do you want?" She asked with a sassy little voice. Who am I? It's been a long time since I was last asked this question, almost everyone in th

She criedHa!"Hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were scared of water. I actually booked our dinner on a cruise ship but it's okay. I'll just cancel and we can have dinner somewhere else"I said trying to calm her down. See I did kind of do my homework pretty well, so I did know she had a phobia for water, I brought her here so I could have a laugh!"But you already made a reservation! I donāt want you to waste your money" She said looking down and playing with her.One could easily tell that she was blaming herself. Oh nice šThe money is a piece of cake, nothing to be worked up about. But it's good to see Charlotte all stressed up. Itās like comic relief of some sort."No, it's fine" I said but I pretended to look sad "It's just a pity, I'd have to waste money!""Wait! you're worrie
š©āāļøCHARLOTTEš©āāļøCharlotte Fool Meyers, I should have been named that instead of Charlotte Slim Meyers. Why on earth did I have to leave the restaurant in annoyance uhn? Now how do I get home? there are no cabs in sight too. Stranded, that's what I am right now.Oh, a car is coming, let me try and see if I can hitch a ride. Hitchhiking is illegal but I'm in a tight sitch right now."Hey.... stop...!!!"gosh! they are not stopping.....Is that Jake's car approaching? Yeah it is. Oh thank goodness. It's getting late and no one would want to be stuck in this deserted area.He's parking, thank God the arrogant TV star has a good heart! Even if itās pretense, I donāt care. Just get me out of here."Are you stranded?" He asked after winding down his car window"......"Do I say yes? if I do he might make fun of me"No, I'm just having a hard time getting a cab" I replied"Sorry, cabs do not ply this route!" He said "Are you sure you're not stranded?" He asked again"I'
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE š©āāļøMonday morning came quick like the bat of an eyelash. I got ready as early as I could and headed to the hospital where I had to check in before finding my way to the Reyes mansion to resume my job as the familyās private doctor. Yeah I should be excited, right? But I donāt know.āOh lord, have mercy upon my innocent soulā I whispered on my way out of the hospital. I was at the exit when I barged into someone coming into the building. Oh! no drama this morning, please. I just want this day to go without any hiccupsThis person has rock hard abs that I winced in pain, involuntarily.āOuch!ā I placed my palm over my forehead and looked up to see who I had bumped into.humph! Itās the arrogant TV starā¦. Donāt piss me off again, mister. I have had enough of your attitude.āYou should watch where you are going next time.ā I said and made to leave but of course, he pulls me back.āSomeone is in a bad mood eh!?ā He said with a smirk on his face.āNo
āļø ONTARIO āļø "What? no, why would I fire you?" I asked with a shocked expression on my face. "Well, Doctor Bell just called to tell me that my time working as your doctor has ended. and to think you wanted to relieve me of my stress" Charlotte, said shoulders slumped. Walking away from my side, she picked up her bag and made to leave the house. "Wait, let's get to the hospital together" I offered "No, thanks. I'll find my way" That said she left my house without even looking me in the face on last time. Anger and other emotions welled up in inside of me, mostly anger because I finally thought I had the chance to spend more time with her and probably make her catch feelings for me too. I didn't even know when I started breaking stuff in sight. "Ouch!" a sharp pain in the thumb brought me back to his senses, I must have wounded myself with one of the broken stuff Iām throwing around. "I could have told her just how much I loved her, if that silly phone hadn't ruined the moment
Charlotte Meyers.It's been four years now, four good years since I decided to leave it all behind and start over again and it has turned out to be the best decision ever, turns out I was born to be a model walking the runway came naturally to me with less than a year of training and what have you, I was good to go."Good work Charlotte!!" The photographer praised me as we wrapped up the shoot. I was shooting a brand ad for Nike. "You were great tooā¦" I told him and excused myself to go rest in my van.Amos followed me to the van, "here.." he said, handing me a bottle of water."Thanks."Amos was made my assistant by the agency, according to Ben the manager, he says I was his golden ticket and Amos being the one who recruited me deserved a promotion, so now he's my assistant and wherever I go, he goes."We need to go to the agency right now!" Amos told me. I raised my head to look at him with a frown on my faceā¦ "ahh but why?" "Mr Ben called for a meetingā¦. we're ru
ONTARIOA friend of mine was driving past Charlotte's house and called to ask me where they were moving to."Moving?" I had asked the guy, although I heard clearly the first time. He repeated himself, they were truly moving. Fuck!I ran out of the office to my car and drove off to the house immediately but I was too late, their car had just left but I met Jake standing bewildered in the compound."Why are you even here?" I grunted at him. He doesn't try to fight me, he just shrugs and saysā¦." I tried to stop her".I didn't wait anymore and tried chasing after their car with mine, but it was no use; they were too far gone to chase. This is all my fault. I didn't even get to say goodbye.She must have forgotten about who I am the moment she packed her things out of the house.I kept driving around town, I don't know why, maybe I hoped to run into them. I didn't stop my tears from falling down my face. If this was my punishment for ruining her life, I don't think I can endure
CHARLOTTE"Eishh!"I woke up with a banging headache, what happened last night? I must have drank a lot. Mom made me a hot cup of local tea, " it'll help with the headache" she said. I smile at her thoughtfulness. "Khloe didn't go to school today" Mom says. I look around the room and see that they've already helped me pack my stuff into brown boxes. We're really moving to Vegas, today.How long had I passed out for, it's mid afternoon already. "The moving van will soon be here. They're sending a smaller car too, we'll travel in the smaller one." I nod continuously at her words, my head feels heavy as I nod. Ah this is bad, why do I have to have a hangover on a day like this eh.Mom leaves the room after telling me to call the landlord of the house we were moving into and to let them know that we were moving in today.Ah I'm going to miss this house. All of my memories are here. I grew up here, Khloe was born here. I met Ontario in this house too. He had
CHARLOTTEWho could have thought I'll be grateful to Hunter for bringing me out of my house to this party. I haven't had this much fun in a while and I have no one to blame but my workaholic ass who cared about nothing but getting a raise, now look where that has gotten me. Sigh!There was enough booze to go round and sue me for drinking to my satisfaction. By my satisfaction I mean till I was drunk, like super duper drunk and guess who just happened to come around eh?No I won't tell you? he-heOkay fine I'll tell you, no, I won't, I'll just give you a clue.Do you remember that guy who referred to me as ugly doctor? The one who chose his business over me? Yeah, the same one whom my best friend helped me realize that I was falling head over heels for? YES! You guessed right. Ontario came to the party. I wonder who invited him. I expected Jake to be here since he probably owned the hospital now or something, who could have thought Ontario would show up."No! I don't wa
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE MEYERS š©āāļø Today is a new day to go in search of work, after all I donāt have to be at hunterās party until later in the evening. Maybe if I find a job then thereāll be no need for me to move, I broaden my search areas and send emails to nearby cities but I got the same reply, I wasnāt fit to work for them. This is crazier than I thought. I went back home around afternoon and spent the time lazing around until it was time for the āsend forthā I was even having second thoughts about going until I got Hunters text āYo! Meyers weāre so pumped to see you tonight. Donāt be lateā His text was followed by another one, bearing the address of the karaoke bar. Oh dear lord, I donāt want to cross paths with Jake Reid at that party. I waste time goofing through the internet and laughing away my sorrows to funny video clips until it was 7:30pm and of course I was running late my own party. I search through my wardrobe hurriedly for something to wear and ended up wearing a p
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE MEYERS š©āāļøOntario came to try and redeem himself, Iām not mad at him for choosing his business over my job, itās just that seeing his face reminds me of my misery and I really donāt want to deal with that right now. Itāll be better if heāll just leave me be.āCharlotte? What was that?ā My mom asked, she has a puzzled expression on her face, I havenāt told her about my job yet. It must have confused her to see me and Ontario fight over it.āWhat did Ontario do wrong?āShe was wiping my tears with a napkin and leading me to sit on the sofa beside, Khloe, who had the same expression on her face as my mom.āMa, I lost my jobā I said before breaking into another round of tears. Mom pulled me in her embrace with Khloe too, they kept saying soothing words to me. They know more than anyone else how much my job meant to me.āItās alright my dearā¦ā Mom consoles but I look up at her, wiping my tears that wonāt stop falling.āItās not fine mom, no one around here wan
āļø ONTARIO āļøThe least I could do is to go see Charlotte and explain everything to her, at first I thought Jake was bluffing, not until I got a call from the minister telling me I have been awarded the contracts since Jake and his family backed out.She wasnāt home when I arrived so I opted to wait for her, Khloe kept me company until she arrived, she said Charlotte had left home very early in the morning, itās evening time and she wasnāt back yet.I was almost changing my mind and thinking of coming back tomorrow when she walked in through the door. She seemed different, like something changed inside of her. āCharlotteā¦ā I start to say when she sees me, her eyes are widened in disbelief.āWhat do you want? Please leave. I donāt want to talk to youā She says, avoiding my gaze.Why ask me what I want if you donāt want to talk to me? āI swear itās not what it seems.ā I try to explain āI can make it up to you.āāHow Ontario? How? How are you going to make i
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE MEYERSš©āāļøWho could have thought Jake could stoop so low, it was all part of an elaborate plan to get to the Reyes family after all, I was nothing more than a pawn in his game of chess. Here I was thinking, he had asked me out on that date because he wanted to make up for his attitude the first time we met Ontario did what he had to do, he chose his family over me, the business was his family business and he did what he could to grow it, too bad it was at my disadvantage. I know I should be blaming him for ruining my life but I really canāt find a reason too. Jake is the villain in this case and not Ontario. What I wish though is for him to have at least given me a heads up, maybe that would have lessened the blow. It wouldnāt so this hurtful if I found out from Ontario instead.I donāt take the bus home, I walk instead, from the hospital to my house is quite a distance but I was too immersed in my sorrow to even notice.I tried holding back m
š©āāļø CHARLOTTE š©āāļø I spent a good part of the day at home with my mom and sister. My shift was to start at 8pm till tomorrow morning. So I donāt go to the hospital until itās 7:30 pm. Ontario has been blowing up my phone with calls and texts all day but I didnāt pick his calls or open his messages. Iāll talk to him later obviously, just not yet. When I got the hospital, Phoebe was the first one I saw, she didnāt look good. I mean she always has a face void of emotions but today, she looked gloomy. It made me feel as though something was wrong. āHi phoebe, is everything alright?ā I asked her when she got to where I stood. She doesnāt say a word but instead envelopes me in a tight hug. I do not like this feeling. When she frees me from the hug, I take a quick scan of the room and see that it wasnāt just Phoebe with the gloomy look, everyone else too. āDid someone die?ā I asked but no one answered. Phoebe took out a letter from her breast pocket and handed it to me. She excused
