Harvey
 
"Oh oh what?  Bella asks

"Uhhh... The hubby and I haven't spoken since our one night stand" I say sheepishly

"What? You guys just banged and that's it! No communication, no texts, twitter,nothing? Jake asks laughing

"Can we talk outside?" I whisper because the lawyer was looking at me funny.

"Fine, excuse us sir" Bella says as we go out.

On reaching outside, we huddle at the side walk.

"How are we supposed to get hold of a Hollywood star?" Jake asks

"We are ordinary mortals Harvey! Right now accessing Damien Andrate is like trying to get access to Olympus!" Bella exclaims

"Olympus isn't real" I say

"Is that what you're focussing on, are you for real?" Bella says laughing

"I don't know, maybe we can DM him on twitter, Instagram or try to email his management team" I say

"Yeah, let's try that" Bella says.

So we first go to Bella's and I pick Ashton who is sleeping like a cute little bunny and then go to my place.
After putting him to sleep, I grab my phone and go sit with Bella.

We start searching for Damien Andrate on social media and then I start to type a message.

"What am I going to say? I ask Bella.

"Hmm, well you can't just be like, yoh dawg, its your one night stand looking for you!" Bella says and bursts out laughing while I join her.

"Its not funny Bella" I admonish her

"Fine, just say you have a big tip you want to pass on" she says

"That will work" I say and send the messages obviously not expecting a reply any time soon.

The next day

Nothing ! Not a reply or even seen tick! Am so frustrated i can tear out my hair! How do people access celebrities? Am I supposed to stalk him or what ?

I know what I'll do, drastic measures!
So I get my phone and post a message on the wall of his management

ABOUT TO EXPOSE DAMIEN ANDRATE SOLTE IN THE UGLIEST WAY POSSIBLE. IF I AM NOT CONTACTED IN 30 MINS, ILL CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE ! CALL 0800 000 000

Within five minutes, my phone rings and I smile to myself....oh yeah, that's how you reach a celebrity!

"Hello Sir, we have seen your message, what information are you talking about?" A woman asks

"Sorry but it is personal, I need to talk to Damien in person" I say

"You can't just ask and think you will meet a celebrity just like that! How do we know you aren't a murderer or something ?" She says in a haughty voice

Me? A murderer! This is the height of crazy!

"Look, connect me or else!" I shout

At my angry tone, she mumbles something but I'm too angry to pay attention. All I hear is

".........one of the managers"

When I hear someone on the line again,
I just burst into one pouring of word vomit! When am angry, I say whatever comes to mind and I regret it after. So I say something along the lines of,

"You plastic doll face better stop feeling portant like some queen! You are nothing like the rest us, you are probably some wannabe looser with a sculpted face and fake lashes!" I yell on the line

"Calm down sir, we have set you an appointment for today in the afternoon" she says

"Oooh,thank you" I say and hang up then immediately call Bella.

"Bella, I got an appointment for today" i tell her excitedly

"How ? Who did you give your soul?" She asks

"Nothing like that but I may or may not have insulted someone" I reply

"On a scale of one to ten, how bad?" She asks

"I think 7.5" I reply

"Harvey! You know how you get! You open your mouth and people go into coma!" She groans

"Its not that serious !" I exclaim

"Remember the girl you put in her place in college? You made her think of her whole life after just a few words" she says

I laugh and promise to tell her everything as I prepare to go.

At the office

In the afternoon, I go the office of his management where I am supposed to meet Damien.
I don't know how it is going to turn out.

I go to reception and they refer me to the second  floor and tell me to ask for the person who made the appointment.
I go up and find a wide seating area with plush chairs and look around.
I see a woman standing facing the window looking at the view of the city.

"Hello! I say

"Yes, how can I help you?" She says in a stern voice.

"I was sent from reception to meet the person who called me to make the appointment" I reply

She turns towards me and I see a very classy and elegant middle aged woman looking very intimidating and her heels clicking as she walks toward me.

"I made the appointment, i'm Sophia Andrate" she introduces herself and looks at me pointedly.....

Oh my God! Someone kill me! The person I mercilessly insulted out of anger was my mother in law!!! Sophia Andrate! I literally called her a plastic doll with fake lashes!
Does she know that I am her son in law?

"You are Damien's manager?" I ask out of silly hope, my heart beating in my chest.

"Yes and his mother!" She says clearly not impressed with me.

What is wrong with me? I met the son on the first day and we drunkenly got married ,then I meet the mother but I already insulted her to the moon and back.
I had heard stories of mothers hating their Son's partner but here i was going to live it! Am so screwed!

"Ms Andrate, am so...." I try to say

"Save it! Damien is changing, he'll be here soon" she stops me.
