HER REVENGE

Chapter Fifteen

"Oh look at that one," Nessa and I both stare at the cute dress infront of us .
"When I get rich I'm definitely buying one of these and mayve that, and that," she says excitement in her voice as she points at different dresses in the store .
"I'm hungry , and I know of the right spot to eat," I tell her to which she shrugs . We have been here for a while and school had no doubt ended , but seeing as Joshua didn't call me that means he's most likely not home yet , so thats a good thing.
"Okay let's go," she says. And we both walk out the store and down the road heading out of town , after a few minutes we reach at 'Tweeties'. I push the door open and we both enter wirh the sound of the bell at the top , most of the persons inside turned to look but others did what they were doing.
Unlike the last time I was here there were many more customers this time and the place was almost full, thankfully there was a small booth close by a window I tugged on Vanessa's hand and led her to sit down .
"Wow this place is nice," she tells me looking around.
"I know and the customer service here is wonderful, " I tell her .
"It gives me the 90's feeling," she says
"Exactly ," I agree with her.
"Hello welcome to tweeties , what can I get you both?" I look up to see a brunette waitress standing by our table with a friendly smile.
"Can I get a cheese burger with large fries and a chocolate milkshake please, what abour you Nessa?" I turn to her and she seems nervous so I place a hand on hers and I see her relax a bit.
"I'll have a super bird sandwich, with iced tea please, " she says looking at anywhere but rhe waitress.
"Okay I'll be back with your orders," the blonde says and returns to the kitchen.
"Why are you so nervous?" I ask Nessa .
"I don't know , maybe because she's so gorgeous, like c'mon if I had a body like that I'd be a model," she says making me sigh and roll my eyes.
"You are gorgeous either way," I tell her with a shrug. She blushes and clears her throat.
"So um, do you have a crush?" She asks, I go to say no but then I reconsider. I mean it isn't a crush but it isn't normal either, he makes me feel stuff, sexual stuff.
"It's more of a sexual attraction, " I tell her to which she nods in understanding .
"So who is he?" She asks, great more questions.
"Just one of my brother's friends, "I tell her looking at anywhere but her. Just as she goes to ask another question the food arrives .
"Here you go ladies," the blonde says and places our foods infront of us and leaves. We both dive in.
"Mmmh God this is delicious," Vanessa moans in content.
"I know right?" I tell her and she nods with her mouth filled.
Soon we finish our food,
"I'll pay don't worry," I tell her .
"No I couldn't let you do tha-"
"You shared your lunch with me this is my way of paying you back," I tell her with finality, making her give up. I pay the bill and we both get up to leave when I see a 'Help wanted ' sign. This is a perfect opportunity to get a job. With that in mind I walk over to the counter and I smile seeing it's Mrs. Carlos.
"Oh my! Well hello there, haven't seen you in a while ,how have you been?" She says smiling at me.
"Hello Mrs. Carlos, I've been great and you?" I ask returning her smile .
"Well I've also been great , a bit tired but that's life and I see you have a friend," she says indicating to Nessa who smiled awkwardly behind me .
"Oh yeah this is Vanessa , and Vanessa this is Mrs. Carlos,"
"Hi Mrs. Carlos , wait I think I've actually heard that name before," Nessa says looking at Mrs. Carlos uncertain.
"Oh perhaps you did , my son or maybe my ex husband, Greg Carlos , Owner of Carlos Enterprise, " Mrs. Carlos replied , a strange look in her eyes after saying ex husband. Guess they ended on bad terms .
"Oh yes ! I read an article on him once and that must mean you're......... Jermaine Carlo's mother?" She asks eyes wide , and this is what caught my attention, Mrs. Carlos nods with a smile.
"That's surprising, " I intervene to which she just laughs .
"Oh by the way before I forget , I saw your help wanted sign and was wondering if I could be of help ," I said to which she claps her hand.
"That would be lovely really , just sign here and right down your number ," I nod and sign the paper then take out my phone to write down my number , no I dont know it from my head sue me. I press the power button and shit it's dead.
Groaning I turn to Mrs Carlos.
"I'm sorry I recently got this phone so I didn't study the number and it's dead, " I tell her , disappointed.
"Oh dear don't worry about it I'll just get it from your brother, " she says with a smile , oh I forgot they knew each other . I smile back at her.
"Well I've gotta go and you kids take care ok?" She says with a sweet smile.
"Ok , bye Mrs. Carlos," I tell her with a wave .
"Bye Ma'am, " Vanessa replies with a smile . And so we both take our bags and leave .
"I can't believe I just met Jermaine's mother ," Nessa mumbles beside me , and that reminds me , how'd she know him? Was he her crush? If so Jermaine has a girlfriend? Is it Amber?
"So wait your crush is Jermaine?" I ask her with raised eyebrow.
"Oh my god no , don't get me wrong he's hot but I like his friend, his much sweeter friend," she says makimg me sigh with relief, wait why am I relieved ?
"Lets get a taxi ," she suggest to which I nod . Soon we manage to get a taxi .
" Where to ladies? " the driver asks .
" You first Nessa ," I quickly reply to which she shrugs .
"23 street , Newport ," she says to which the driver nods .
We talk for a while and soon we reach her house . It wasn't big but it wasn't small either , it was like a family home, one a normal family grew up in . One that kids and grandchildren would come back to for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
"Well this is me , reach home safe and text me once your phone is charged, " she says opening the car door .
"Ok , later Nessa," I say waving to her as she pays the driver and then walk towards her house. She waves back . The car speeds off.
"Greeneville please," I tell the driver , he seemed confused for a while but obliged .
