Chapter 3

Bryan got settled on his bike, plucked in the Airpods on both ears, connected them to his phone, and selected a song from his favourite artist, Juliana. He started the bike and sped away. singing along with the song, which was blasting his ear. Bryan loved music; He calmed him down, sometimes worked him up, and made him feel nostalgic about the past or excited about the future. Music was irresistible, and so was the smile on his face. He was lost with the beautiful voice of Juliana. To him, it was the most amazing voice he ever heard.

As Bryan rode his bike through the neighbourhood, the warm sun cast a golden glow on the lush green lawns and majestic mansions. The scent of freshly cut grass wafted through the air, mingling with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze created a soothing melody.

When he arrived at the mansion, he noticed the intricate stone carvings on the facade and the beautifully manicured gardens. The sound of the doorbell echoed through the hallway as he pressed the button.

A few minutes later, the door opened, and Juliana stood before him. Bryan's eyes widened in surprise; he couldn't believe the person standing in front of him was actually Juliana. He stared at her without blinking, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Hand me the package when you're done eye-raping me," Juliana said with a smile. "I'm so sorry," Bryan stuttered. Juliana looked him closely and asked, "Why are you the one delivering this? There's this particular guy who always brings my package."The other guy couldn't make it to work today," Bryan replied.

Juliana nodded and turned back, leaving Bryan to hand the package to Elena, who had appeared behind her. Elena joined Juliana on the couch, placing the pizza on the table and unwrapping it. The aroma of freshly baked pizza crust filled the room, making Juliana's stomach growl with hunger. She took a bite of the pizza, and the gooey cheese stretched as she pulled it apart. The flavours danced on her tongue, a perfect blend of savoury sauce, melted cheese, and crispy crust. Elena asked, "So, tell me why you were rude to the guy earlier?" Juliana rolled her eyes and replied,"He was staring like he wanted to devour every piece of me."

**********

Bryan couldn't shake off the encounter with Juliana from his mind. She was so pretty, and speaking and standing close to her felt unbelievable. He had attended her concerts before and admired her stage presence. Juliana wasn't just his crush; she was every American man's dream.

After finishing his delivery, Bryan headed to his second job. As he was leaving, Kyle asked, "You're leaving already?" Bryan nodded. "Well, you did great work today. Jasper is definitely coming tomorrow. The staff are having dinner together, and the bills are on me. If you don't mind, you can join us." Bryan politely declined, citing his tight schedule.

Meanwhile, Elena was getting ready for her date at the logistics club. She put on a black sleeve gown, combed her long blonde hair, and applied a red lip gloss. She checked herself in the mirror and walked to Juliana's room to tell her she was heading out.

Juliana was lying on her bed, playing games on her phone. "I can see you're dressed up nicely. Don't tell me you're heading out," she said, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, I'm meeting someone at a club, and I'll be home late. Don't wait up for me," Elena replied.

"Well, in that case, I'm going with you," Juliana said. "I feel like it's been a long time since I stepped outside, and home will be kinda boring without you here." Elena was shocked. "You ain't deaf; I'm sure you heard what I said. Wait up for me to dress nicely," Juliana said, rushing into the bathroom.

Within a twinkle of an eye, Juliana was back in the room, checking her wardrobe for a dress. "Ana, this is a bad idea. You know how dangerous it is to go out now without a bodyguard," Elena tried to reason with her. Juliana pulled out a pink mini gown and put it on, packing her hair up and tying it with a rubber band. She put on a short golden wig, applied pink lipstick, slipped on golden heels, and finally, sunglasses. Her looks were totally different.

"Baby Elen, let's hit the road, and stop staring at me like that. I know I'm hot already," Juliana said, catwalking out of the room while Elena followed behind her.

Elena P.O.V

As I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out my dress and checking my hair, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves about my date tonight. What if he's not what I expected? What if we don't click? I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the present moment. I was looking forward to meeting him and seeing where things went.

Just as I was about to head out, Juliana suddenly decided to join me. My heart sank. Why did she have to do this? Can't she just let me have one night to myself? I tried to reason with her, but she was determined. I sighed inwardly, wondering how this would affect my date.

As Juliana transformed into a completely different person, donning a wig, sunglasses, and a mini dress, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This was not what I had planned. But at the same time, I had to admit that Juliana's energy was infectious. She always knew how to make an entrance.

I followed her out of the room, wondering what the night had in store for us. Would my date be put off by Juliana's presence? Would we even get a chance to talk? I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the present moment, ready to see how things would.

Bryan p.o.v

As I stood frozen, staring at Juliana, my mind went blank. Was this really happening? Was I actually face-to-face with the Juliana? My heart was racing, and my palms were sweating. I couldn't believe my luck.

I've been a huge fan of Juliana's music for years. I've attended her concerts, bought her albums, and even had a poster of her on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager. And now, here she was, standing right in front of me.

I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Her eyes sparkled, and her smile lit up the room. I felt like I was in a dream, and I didn't want to wake up.

But as I handed her the package, I stumbled over my words. "I'm so sorry," I muttered, feeling like a complete idiot. Why did I have to be so awkward?

As I watched her take the package and turn back, I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. I had hoped to talk to her more to learn more about her. But it seemed like that wasn't going to happen.

Or was it? As I looked into her eyes, I saw a glimmer of recognition. Maybe she knew who I was. Maybe she knew I was a fan. The thought sent a thrill through me.

Juliana p.o.v

I was feeling restless, stuck in the same routine day in and day out. I needed a change of scenery, a chance to let loose and have some fun. When Elena told me about her date, I saw an opportunity to break free from my monotony.

I know Elena was hesitant at first, but I could tell she was excited about the prospect of us going out together. I love spending time with her; she's my partner in crime, my confidante. We always have a blast together.

As I got ready, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. I love dressing up, transforming into a different person. It's liberating, you know? I put on my favourite wig, sunglasses, and heels, and suddenly, I felt like a completely different person.

I know Elena's worried about me coming along, but I promise I'll be on my best behaviour. I'll make sure we have a great time and maybe even help her make a connection with her date. Who knows? Maybe we'll even have a wild night.
