ISABELLA: The Crazy Girl And The Badboy

" Hello, welcome to Della's food and family resorts. How many people will be dining today?" Beauty asked as she stood Infront of the two men, who're going through the food menu.

" Two." Said one of the guys.

" Please what should I offer you?" She asked.

" I'll go for Pastrami and Corned Beef." Said the other guy.

" Same here!" Anderson said and dropped the menu on the table, then glanced around.

" Very well then, I'll be back shortly." Beauty said and walked away. She returned with what they ordered, and placed it on the table. She's about to walk away, when he stopped her.

" Wait! What's this?" Anderson asked, and his friend furrowed his brows and stared at him.

" It's Pastrami and Corned Beef, don't tell me you've not eaten it before." Said his friend.

" I don't like it, give me something else." Anderson said and requested for another.

Beauty left and brought what he requested for, but he rejected it again, after having a taste.

" What sort of food do you guys cook here? I mean...... This is awful." Anderson said with a frown.

" Sir......"

" This is shit!" Said Anderson, Interrupting her.

" But I don't see anything wrong with this, I mean, this food is g....."

" Don't tell me that Jameson! You call this food? You're eating trash and you......"

" Excuse me Sir, I won't have you insult our food, for the fault which might be from you. I'm pretty sure you've not been in a kitchen before, to see how food is being prepared." Beauty said in anger, as she remembered the countless times she brought food to that particular table, and the insult she received from him.

" Did you hear that?" Anderson asked his friend, "by the way, what do you mean by, the fault might be from me?"

" If a person doesn't brush his or her teeth, anything he taste will seem awful in his mouth." Replied Beauty.

" And what the hell are you trying to insinuate?" Asked Anderson, hitting the table. That drew people's attention, and they begin to wonder what's going on.

" You gave me trash to eat, because I refused you said I didn't brush my teeth? Are you out of your mind? Do you know who I am?" He said raising his voice.

"If you don't like our food Sir, it's better you leave, instead of saying that people are eating trash here. That's not right to say. I didn't expect that from you Sir, I'm highly disappointed." Beauty said.

" What's going on here?" The manager asked, as he approached the scene. Beauty begin to explain everything to him, but Anderson didn't allow her to finish.

" You insulted me with my money? Do you know who I am?" He asked.

" Anderson......." Jameson called.

" Don't Anderson me!" He interrupted angrily.

" Am so sorry, it will never happen again Sir. Please don't be offended. We are sorry for her mistakes." The manager said.

" But what of others? Why is his own different? What will new customers say? Don't you know that they can leave, by following his words?

I brought this, you rejected, I brought that you rejected. More than ten delicacies! What the heck?" Beauty let out her mind.

" Customers are always right Beauty. You shouldn't have insulted him. It's your duty to give him what he wants, when he request for it." Said the manager.

" Are you trying to say that he's right to say that our food are trash? That people are eating nonsense here? I mean......." Beauty couldn't believe it.

" I want her fired now!" Anderson said to the manager. " If you don't want this place to be close down, fire her!"

" I'll do that right away Sir. Please temper justice with mercy." Said the manager.

" Sir!" Beauty called, widening her eyes in shock.

" I'm sure you know what I can do. Let's go Jameson." Anderson said and walked out angrily.

" So sorry." Jameson muttered to Beauty, before joining his friend outside.

That's how Beauty was fired from her previous job.

THREE MONTHS LATER

A black Benz drove into the compound, and parked somewhere. A lady in her mid sixties, alighted from the car, followed by three other young ladies, who are in their mid twenties.

" Follow me!" The elderly woman gestured to the three ladies, and they did as instructed.

The sitting room was beautifully decorated, and very large. The three girls who came with the woman gasped in shock and glanced around. While the other, just focus her gaze at the woman.

" Welcome to my house ladies! Please sit and make yourself comfortable." The elderly woman said sat down.

" Thank you ma'am!" Said the ladies as they sat down.

" Welcome ma'am!" A maid greeted as she walked into the sitting room.

" Thank you Elisa. Is Anderson at home?" She asked.

" Yes ma'am." The maid replied.

" I thought as much, I saw his car outside. By the way," she turned to the three ladies. " What can we offer you? What would you like to drink?"

" Anything ma'am, anything good. It's okay by me." Said one of the girls.

" Same here ma'am." Another said.

" I'll love to drink juice." The last girl said, and the woman turned to the maid.

" You heard them, but I'll like to drink wine. So get us a bottle of wine, and juice for her." The woman said and the maid did a curtsy and walked away.

She returned some minutes later with their request, and placed them on the table. She poured in the wine and the juice and offered it to them, before leaving the sitting room.

" So ladies......"

" Mom you're back!"

Someone said and the woman stopped abruptly, and turned to the direction that the voice was coming from. Everyone did the same, and there comes Anderson, on his usual casual dress.

He stopped the moment his eyes landed on one of the ladies, and he pointed his finger at her.

" You!' he paused and continued, "What are you doing here?" Asked Anderson angrily.

" I brought them here Anderson. Can you just sit down and allow me to introduce them to you?" His mother said and turned to the ladies.

" Let me begin with the one on pink dress, her name is Clara. The one on white, her name is Beauty and the one on red, her name is Tasha." She introduced.

" I don't care about her name mother, I just want to know why she's here." Said Anderson, placing his hands on his waist, while having his eyes on Beauty.

"They're my girls, I decided to bring them here to stay with us. I mean.....' she drawled and continued, " to stay with me, as the house is always boring." Mrs Halloween said.

" To stay with us? Mom!" Anderson screamed in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Beauty herself was lost in thought. She couldn't believe that Anderson was actually Mrs Halloween son. She's shock to the marrow, but then again, begin to wonder if they're send her away.

The memory of the past suddenly, flashed in her head, and she tighten her face, and fisted her hands.

'So I will be living under the same roof with this idiot? Unbelievable!'She said within.

" Am pretty sure you remember me, right?" Said Anderson.

" Of course I do handsome." Beauty said, with a smile and Clara rolled her eyes.

" Nice compliment, but it can't buy me." Said Anderson.

" Don't take it to heart sir, it might mean the opposite." Beauty said and he suddenly frown, and bite his lips.

" Are you trying to say that I'm ugly?" Anderson asked, with raised brows.

" I heard it from your mouth Sir, I don't think I made such statement," she turned to the other girls " Did I?"

At this point, she didn't care if she'll be sent away, or not. Clara and Tasha were surprised at her choice of words, but they didn't say a word.

" No dear, you didn't say that." Mrs Halloween replied, with a smile on her face. She found everything interesting, and was curious to know how Beauty met his son, their first encounter, and many more.

" Thank you ma'am." Said Beauty.

" Are you supporting her?" Anderson asked her mother.

" No son, I was only replying to her question. By the way, won't you sit?" Mrs Halloween asked.

" I don't want her here mother. I want her to leave!" Anderson said angrily, " now!" He added.

" Am so sorry son, it's not in your place to tell me what to do. If you have any problem with her, do well to settle it." Mrs Halloween said.

" Alright! You know what? I'm leaving!" Anderson said and stormed out of the house.

" Your choice." Her mother said and shrugged, then relaxed her back on the chair.

" Ma'am please. If this is going to bring problem, then you can....you can....." Clara was interrupted.

" Don't worry dear, it won't bring any problem, I'll talk to him." Mrs Halloween said and stood up. " I'll be right back!" She added and walked out through the door.
