C1 Grumpy

Rachel's Pov

The blaring sound of the alarm made me open my eyes. I yawned as I got down from the bed.

A gasp escaped my mouth when I checked the time.

"Shit, it's 8:00am already and I'll be late for work" I muttered as I rushed inside the bathroom.

I finished taking my bath then I wore my dress. The dress is kinda old but I got no choice.

I glanced at the table and I saw a plate of food and some money.

"I guess Abigail left for work already".

Abigail is my childhood friend and we live together in her house.

Well, my landlord sent me packing out of my house when I couldn't no longer afford the rent fee.

My younger brother, Jake has an heart problem and he has to undergo surgery but I am still looking for ways to pay for the surgery.

He stays at the hospital under the care of doctor Steve, a very caring man; he's like a father to me.

Jake is the only family I've got and I will do anything to get the money for the surgery.

Abigail has been the one supporting ever since the death of my parents. She's been providing food and sometimes gives me money for transport.

I ate the food in haste then I took my bag and dashed out of the house. I board a cab and headed straight to work.

I got to work few minutes later then I paid the cab driver. I went inside the restaurant and I heard the manager shouting.

"Where is Rachel!!!!!" He yelled.

"Here I am sir" I replied and rushed to him.

"Do you know what the time says?" He asked.

"I'm sorry for come late sir, it won't happen again" I replied with a pleading look.

"That's what you say everytime!! This is your final warning; if you ever come late to work again then you are fired! Now get to work"

"Alright sir" I replied and wore an apron.

I work here in this local restaurant as a waitress.

I served the customers then I tools the order of another customer.

"Waitress" I heard.

I looked at the direction and I saw four men who were dressed in suit.

I walked to them and I noticed the way they were lustfully looking at me but I ignored their looks.

"What would you like to eat" I asked as I got to their seats.

"We would love to eat you" one of the men replied to the others bursted into laughter.

"Looks like you don't have anything to eat" I replied and turned around to leave when one of them smacked my butt.

Anger rushed through my veins instantly. I grabbed the man's hand and twisted it.

"Arrrrgh!!!!" He yelled in pain then I let go of his hand.

He wanted to grab my cloths with the other hand but I was fast enough to catch his hand then I twisted it to his back and I slammed his head on the table.

People were already gathering at the scene.

"What's going on here?" He asked as he faced me.

"You should ask him not me" I replied and he turned to the men.

"Oh my God! Mr Diego, I am really sorry for what happened" he apologized.

"You have to fire her or else you're gonna kiss your restaurant goodbye" The man replied.

The manager turned around and faced me with an apologetic look.

"I am sorry Rachel but I have to fire you or else they are gonna close down the restaurant".

"You don't have to apologize" I replied and took off the apron then I took my bag and glared at the man before leaving.

Thomas Pov

"We are finally going back to New York, I missed home and mum especially" Tom, my twin brother said.

Tom and I are identical twins and we are difficult to differentiate but you can differentiate us by our character.

Tom is jovial and he's always smiling and I on the other hand I'm the opposite. I rarely talk and smile with people except Tom and my loving mum.

We were in our private jet and we are heading back to New York. We left New York six months ago and we were performing at concerts all around the country.

"Don't you miss home?" he asked and I kept typing on my phone.

"Are you even listening?" He asked and grabbed my phone.

"Give me back my phone Tom"

"On one condition, you will listen to what I'm saying" he said and I sighed.

"Alright" I replied then he returned my phone. I finished what I was doing then I faced him.

"So what do you miss about New York?" He asked.

"I missed my mum and my studio" I replied and he chuckled.

"I also missed mum and the fans, I am sure the fans will be at the airport right now waiting for our return" he said

"Yeah" I replied and I plugged my headphone.

*******

The jet landed and l looked through the window. There were thousands of fans waiting for us.

We got down from the jet and our bodyguards surrounded us and prevented the fans touching us.

"The Diamonds are here!!!!" The fans screamed.

"We love you!!!!" They shouted.

"I love you Thomas!!!"

"Tom I love you!!!!"

Tom signed some autographs and I went inside the limousine. Tom came in afterwards then we drove off.

Rachel's Pov

I was walking back home in anger as I thought of how I was gonna get the money for Jack's surgery

"How am I gonna pay for Jack's surgery" I muttered as I crossed the road.

I was deep in thought and I did not notice the car that was heading towards me.

The car almost hit me and I fell down in shock. The driver came out Immediately.

"I am sorry ma'am" he apologized.

"Watch where you're driving" I replied in anger.

"I'm sorry"

"What's going over there?" I heard a masculine voice and I looked at the direction.

My came in contact with an handsome guy.

"You should watch where you're going next time, now get out of the way" he said.

"What!! Your car almost hit me and instead of you to apologise you're busy blaming me. I won't leave the road until you apologize to me" I replied and stood in front of the car.

"I am sorry ma'am" the driver apologized again.

"Not you, I want him to apologize" I replied.

"Are you sure you're alright" the man said.

"You should ask yourself that question" I replied.

The car door opened and another guy came out. He looked a lot like the other guy. I could not differentiate them; I bet they are twins.

"I am sorry miss for what happened" he said

Seems like this guy is jovial unlike his twin.

"Alright, I'll leave the road because of you. You are jovial unlike that grumpy fool" I said and the other guy glared at me.

"How dare you call me grumpy" he yelled.

"I am calling grumpy because that's what you are" I replied and rolled my eyes at him then I walked away.
