A sudden break of the car jolted Yianna awake. Groggily, the woman looked around, eyes squinting at the rude interruption of her dreams. She was still discerning her position when an amused chuckle alerted her.
Wait! Why is there a man chuckling in her bedroom? She jolted awake all her sleepiness and looked to the side. What the hell? It was not a dream? That irritating man, Lucas Star was really in front of her and moreover, she was leaning on his shoulders and sleeping. Damn!
"Was I so handsome in your dreams that you drooled on me?"
That stopped Yianna from all her inner ramblings and as usual, rage filled her. Really? Was it really too much to ask for that man to tone down his narcissism? In a rare moment of clarity, she joked back,
"Be careful Lucas, too much narcissism can make you a narcissus flower."
"What? Am I so gorgeous to you that you compare me with a flower?" Looking front to his manager, Edward Williams, Lucas boasted, "See Ed, Didn't I tell it won't take time for me to smitten her? That initial rejection of hers was just bad timing. "
"I doubt Ms. Mathews was praising you Luke. She was downright predicting your future with the way you are going.", Ed stated.
"My future? Why would you talk about my future?", the playboy asked Yianna who knew that he had no idea what the legend of Narcissus was all about. Just by chance, her eyes met the manager's through the rear view mirror and saw the laugh lines. The message was clear. The bonehead of a star wouldn't understand it ever, so leave it. She nodded slightly and the manager turned back and faced his client, Lucas and his wayward guest Yianna.
"Well Yianna. It was nice meeting you though. And sorry for the trouble my client has given you. I hope you have not taken any recordings or pictures that will jeopardize Lucas' career." Edward warned her in a strict manager's voice that leaves no stone unturned. Yianna knew he was looking out for his clients, so no hard feelings.
"No, I haven't and I don't ever want to. Your star is too much trouble for me."
"Gosh, such drama from both of you," Lucas started, gasped. "I am not so bad by the way. And manager, Is this the image you give to strangers?"
"You already destroyed your image plenty by your own." Then Ed looked outside Dianna's window and pointed out, "I believe we reached your destination, Ms. Mathews."
Yianna copied him and looked out to see her building. Looking back to the star and his manager, she decided to dish out her goodbye.
"Thank you Edward. It was nice meeting you and knowing you however brief it was." Seeing the Hollywood playboy about to sprout some nonsense, Yianna interrupted, "And Lucas, it was not a pleasure meeting you. Lets not meet again."
Saying this, the Youtuber got out of the car with the bag on her shoulders and was about to shut the door when she heard Lucas sprout again, "Awe, you know you love me. Its OK. I love you too."
A proverbial triple line appeared on her brow, a sure sign of irritation. But as Yianna saw the car zoom by, she thought to herself, "Why am I even angry at this guy now! I will never meet him again anyway." Consoling herself of this, she walked inside her building . Just then, her phone rang blaring its tune out.
Let the rollercoster ride begin. Didn't He already say it is going to be fun? God's Plans are never easily discernible my dear fellows.
