Celebrity Crush

“But Doctor Bell, you know how much that family hates me, don’t you? Sending me there sounds worse than skinning me alive, Please Doctor Bell please!” I begged kneeling on both knees, Fuck self esteem, all I care about is getting out of this mess. He should be able to help, just do something Doctor Bell, please.

“There is nothing I can do about this Doctor Meyers, the family specially requested for you” Doctor Bells said but honestly I think he is only trying to play safe. Those people are filthy rich and getting on their bad isn’t really a good decision to make. Just saying.

What the! Has the man before me gone stupid or what? Of course they’ll request for me, after all it was me who almost murdered their child. They wouldn’t miss the opportunity to have their revenge on me or are they not the Reyes family that I grew up knowing so well? Inviting me to work for them is like giving them the free will to make my life a living hell. Is this raise worth it?

Do you remember the Med School student I had accidentally locked up in the Blood Storage Area? Well his name is Honorio, Honorio Reyes, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Reyes, an influential but annoying couple. In fact, the entire Reyes family is annoying GOSH! Especially their first son ONTARIO, I hate his guts to the point that I always dream of feeding his brains to my cat, when I finally get over my fear of cats and buy one!

“But Doctor Bell, why don’t you tell them that I’ve gone on a trip to a country in Africa or Antarctica, just somewhere faraway from here. You can easily assign another doctor to them easy peasy!” I was holding Doctor Bells’ feet at this point, I’d do anything to get away from that disappointment of a family. I swear, you don’t know how I feel, those people don’t like me…..

“There is nothing I can do about it Doctor Meyers, the thing is Mr. Ontario has recently been assigned as a senior shareholder at our hospital and therefore earned the rights to chose a personal doctor and he chose you” Doctor Bell explained

Oh! I see, Ontario was born a devil I swear! I should have known he orchestrated this whole thing. Being a family doctor is not as stressful as working as a resident but for the Reyes? Really?

“I also do not understand why he chose you” Doctor Bell continued “ I mean you once almost killed his brother!”

Here we go again…

Yeah I know, don’t rub it in my face that I’m awesome!!!!!

What do I do now? Of course Ontario did this on purpose, That annoying man is out to make my life a living hell! Thought we were frien…nimies… frenemies

There is no hope with Doctor Bell, I might as well leave his office. Not like he has ever helped me before. Ump..

“Wait Charlotte!” Doctor Bell calls as I’m leaving

‘what again?’ I groaned inwardly. With a defeated expression on my face, I turned back to look at my middle aged boss.

“You haven’t agreed yet, will you become the Reyes’ doctor and get a raise or you’ll just forfeit it and make do with your current salary?” He asked

Is he high on drugs? Forfeit? Does he know how much I earn right now? Dude!

I earn mere peanuts! Dude of course I’ll take up the job even if it’s going to suck the life out of me.

But why did this have to happen at this time? If this were to be some other time maybe not! Not like I’m broke, broke. Just that life happened

Let me tell you a little about me.

I come from an average family, Like just your regular middle class family, we can afford our daily three square meal, we are also able to pay our bills. As long as there are no emergencies, we are well to do.

Well lately there’s been an emergency, My sister, Khloe has been diagnosed to be low on sugar, though her health care fees are covered after all I’m a doctor but we still need to gather money for Insulin and I swear that shit’s gotten expensive lately, sorry bout the cuss word I attended public schools all through.

“Dr Meyers???”

Oh I got lost in my thoughts again!! Doctor Bell must be fed up already

“Sorry, uhm I mean yeah I’ll take the offer!”

“Good, I’ll inform Mr. Reyes about it”

‘WHATEVS! Like I care!!’ life is hard y'all

Taking out a pack of chewing gum from my coat’s pocket, I opened it , threw it in my mouth and walked out of Doctor Bells’ office.

The moment I got out of the office I let out a deep breathe I didn’t even know I was holding, my bosses office should be renamed the Principal’s office for real!!

“MOVE!!! EMERGENCY!!!” Someone called in the hallway, he was pulling a stretcher with a young man of about my age on it, I strained my neck so hard to see his face but I couldn’t, Oh well!!

I made my way to my office { I share it with two other doctors too}

“Girl, you look moody what’s sup?” My best friend who was sitting behind a heap of Ice-cream said

“Yeah, and how’d you get in here?” I asked joining her in devouring the mountain of Ice-cream

“Easy, I got the keys from Hunter” She said through a mouthful of Ice-cream

Hunter, is one of the other two doctors I share the office with and he had a crush on Zoey, my best friend for quite a while now.

“So why are you in a bad mood?” Zoey asked

“I finally got a raise…” I started but I was cut short but her happy yell

“Wow!! That’s good news” She shouted

“Shhh! This is a health care center……. But there is a clause!”

“What’s the clause?” She asked, her interest had already piqued

“Well I have to work as a family doctor for the Reyes!” I said with slumped shoulders. She understands.

“Err! Reyes as in Ontario Reyes?” She asks with a surprised look

“Yes, the devil himself”

“And you agreed?”

“What other option?”

“Hey girls” Hunter said coming in to the office “Guess who was just admitted into the hospital?”

“Who?” Zoey and I said together

“Jinx!!”

“Well, it’s none other than Jake Reid!!”

“What??? My boyfriend is in this building? Jake Reid is breathing the same air as me right now? What ward is he in and what is he admitted for?”

This day seems to be getting just better, My Celebrity crush is in this hospital.

“More news is that you were assigned to take care of him!” Hunter announced

What!!! I fell to the floor immediately, best day ever I tell you

“He’s in ward 24!”

I ran out of the office almost immediately and dashed to the ward Jake was admitted to, I read his file as I ran, He was admitted because his allergies were acting up, that silly boy is allergic to lactose and yet he keeps taking it!

Well let me go see him and tell him how much I love him.

I was about to open the ward’s door when I felt a strong hand pull me back, I lost my footing and almost fell but I was caught by the same strong hand that pulled me. What on earth?

“Easy!!” I heard the already too familiar voice say, his overpowering presence suddenly seemed to bear down on me. This can’t be happening

Looking up and with all of my anger obvious in my eyes, I called out the name of the person I hate the most

“ONTARIO, what do you want?”

Does he have to show up and ruin my mood, dude Jake is waiting for me!!!
