 Get me more drinks, we want more drinks, Jessica said.

Jessica Maxwell, is one of the wealthiest girls in town, who went to drink at the bar with the two most important persons in her life, (her boyfriend”Jeffrey ” and her best friend ‘Priscilla ).
“Didn't you hear me? I said get me more drinks, I want drink to my satisfaction today” Jessica said and Jeffrey smiled at her.
“Bae, I think you’re drunk, I need to take you home and have some rest” Jeffrey said and Jessica chuckled.
“No no..I’m not drunk, I’m just having fun” Jessica yelled and got up from her seat.
“let’s party” she said and walk to the dancing hall with a bottle of drink on her hand.
Jessica began dancing and jubilating when she heard a sound of someone hitting a bottle on the ground.
She turned and saw a guy bullying Jeffrey. Who the hell is bullying my boyfriend in front of me, no I can’t let that happen, she said.
“Who the hell is that? ” Jessica yelled again loudly, making people to create space for her to see him clearly.
“What are you doing to him? ” Jessica asked the bully and he laughed.
“Young lady stay away from this and mind your business” the bully said and Jessica smirked.
“Well, young man, the person you're bullying is my boyfriend, so it's my bloody business. Now tell me what he did to you? ” She asked and he turned and face her.
“Oh, really? So you're a girlfriend to this debtor. You better tell him to pay me my money or else I’ll manhandle the hell out of him”, the bully said and she went closer to them.
“Impossible, my lovely boyfriend can never be a debtor while I’m here. How much is he owning you?” Jessica asked and the bully smirked.
“I doubt you'll be able to pay me the money, so young lady just let me do my thing”, he said and Jessica chuckled.
“Mr man, kindly name your price, if you’re not willing to then, I’ll ask Jeffrey?” she said and turned towards him.
“Jeffrey how much do you owe this fool? “Jessica asked and Jeffrey nodded.
“It should about $600,000” Jeff said and Jessica opened her eyes widely.
“$600 what? how could you borrow such an amount of money, what did you use it to do?” She asked and the bully laughed.
“Didn't I tell you? you won’t be able to refund me the money” the bully said and Jessica snuff.
“Do you know me? And who said I can't afford such money. Patricia give me my handbag”Jessica said to her assistant and she handed her bag to her.
“Now take your money,” she said taking it out from her purse and the bully gladly took it.
“Thanks to you young lady, Jeffrey should be thankful he has someone like you, or else I would have beaten the hell out of him today” he said and made to leave.
“Hold on, wouldn’t you like to earn extra cash? “Jessica said to the bully and he smiled at her nodding.
“But here is my condition, you'll get two bucks for each slap you receive” she said and the bully nodded. Hold on, wouldn’t you like to earn extra cash? “Jessica said to the bully and he smiled at her nodding.
“But here is my condition, you'll get two bucks for each slap you receive” she said and the bully nodded.
“Is it that simple?” he asked and Jessica chuckled.
Just watch, I'm going to make you pay for bullying my precious boyfriend for embarrassing him in public, she muttered.
“Now, get down on your knees” Jessica said and he obeyed. She took out money from her bag and began slapping him.
Jessica slapped him until she got tired and asked Jeffrey to assist her but he declined.
“Attention everyone, please I want each and everyone of you to give this guy as many slaps as you want, the bill is on me” Jessica announced publicly while he looked at her in shock.
A lot of people walked forward giving him a slap each while she watched them do it. To her, she felt much better watching the bully being slapped.
“Jessica, I think it’s time you go home your drunk already” Jeffrey said to Jessica and she nodded.
“Alright, I'll go home but allow me give this guy one last slap” she said and Jeffrey nodded.
She gave him one last slap and drop the money on his body.
The bully took all the money and ran off after receiving so many slaps from people.
“Good bye everyone” Jessica said staggering and they all nodded waving their hands at her.
“Patricia, please take her bag let’s go” Jeffrey said and Patricia nodded.
Jeffrey carried Jessica while walking out of the bar but she kept insisting on walking myself.
“Jeff, put me down. I have legs and walk myself out of here” Jessica said out loud but Jeffrey wasn't listening to her.
“You're such a bad boyfriend, you can’t even listen to your girlfriend, I’m going to hit you if I have the chance” Jessica said and Jeff put her down on her feet.
“Patrica handed over her bag to her too.
Where are we?” Jessica asked staring around and trying to observe the place carefully.
“Are we still in the bar? “She asked but Jeff didn’t answer and Patricia chuckled.
“We're at the road dumb head” Patricia said and Jessica got angry.
“Who are you calling dumb head? Jessica asked while staggering towards her.
“Can you two stop already, we're besides an express road” Jeff yelled at them but Jessica still didn’t listen to him.
“Stop there, if you continue hiding behind Jeff's back after calling me a dummy, I’m going to hit him instead of you” Jessica shouted at Patricia but she still didn’t stop.
She ran towards Patricia and almost fell down but Jeff saved her from reaching the ground.
“Just look at yourself? you’re so drunk and can’t even stand on your own, yet you want to run after Patricia” Jeffrey shouted at her but she only stared at him.
“Why do you look so cute when you scold me? ” Jessica asked smiling and touching Jeff's face.
Jeff held her around his arm and stood by the roadside waiting for a cab.
“Cutie, why aren’t you saying anything?” Jessica asked looking at Jeff's cute little face.
“Can you just stop talking, there is a cab coming our way” Jeff said and she nodded looking on the road trying to visualize the coming car.
“Yes, it’s coming, it’s coming this way” Jessica screamed clapping her hands and Jeff took a deep breath.
The car stopped in front of them and Patricia entered into the car while Jeff asked Jessica to get in.
“No guys, I won't be going with you, I have something else I need to do, I'll catch up with you guys later” Jessica said and Jeff nodded and entered the cab.
“Hmmm, why do I feel like you intentionally want to dump me here? Can't you at least plead with me to come with you or say I’ll be in danger if I stay here?” Jessica said but Jeff ignored her questions and instructed the cab driver to drive.
Jessica left the house out of frustration and anger after she watched Patricia smile mysteriously. Jessica cried and ran across the street like someone who's being chased.
She sat down under a tree and cried her eyes out, hoping to figure out a way in order to make them pay for betraying the love she showered on them.
****************************
Christian couldn't believe he had to wash those dishes all through the night, he was so exhausted.
"it's late already and I really need to get some rest,” Christian muttered to himself the moment he stepped out of the eatery.
" I'll definitely beat the hell out of that fool, If I bump into him again, I really don't care if he is a ghost or not.
I will make sure he dies for the second time. How could that fool vanished after luring me into the restaurant to eat, all because he is a ghost who can disappear at any given time," Christian kept on murmuring to himself.
“For now, I won't bother myself thinking about him, all I need right now is to get home and have a good sleep,” he added and walked down the path leading to his house.
Christian was walking along the path that leads to his house when he saw a lady crying by the road side, her face was covered with her hands which prevented him from seeing her face.
He looked around the road and noticed there wasn’t any other person around the premises.
He turned back and faced the lady thinking if he should assist her or not.
Christian was confused, he kept wondering and hoping the young lady won't bring another problem to his life.
The young lady felt his presence and immediately raised her head and stared at him mysteriously.
"Wow, she's such a beauty, I wouldn't mind staring at for a whole day. She looked so emotionless and her eyes were very red," Christian thought.
It looks like this beautiful lady had been crying nonstop for hours. Her brown eyes and the dress she wore shows how stunning she looked.
But what will a beauty like her be doing out here in a lonely road like this crying," he added.
Christian went more closer to her and she stared at him like he was some kind of an object that wasn’t going to touch her.
She didn’t even react after seeing Christian trying to get closer to her.
“Hello miss, are you alright? Did you miss your way?” Christian asked after some minutes of wondering if to approach her or not.
She turned and looked back before looking at Christian again, pointing a finger to herself.
“Yes you, Are you alright, I saw you crying over here and I thought I could be of help to you,” Christian said and the lady wiped her tears and got up.
She kept staring at him as if she was seeing at a ghost or something.
“Miss, it’s actually dangerous staying out here at night, it's risky sitting at a place like this, and you are even crying,” Christian said and she walked closer to him which got him scared.
“Can you really see me?” Jessica finally said and Christian breathe out relief.
“Ofcourse I can see you. I was actually thinking you can't speak,” he said and she turned her head in such a way Christian couldn't describe.
“Can you also hear me?” she asked and Christian nodded.
“Yes, I can hear you. Miss, are you joking around with me?” He asked and she smiled at him which got him surprised and also worried.
“If you can actually hear and see me then it means you can also touch me,” she said and jumped on Christian immediately, and he caught her so she wouldn’t fall on the ground.
Their faces went so close to each other, as if we were about kissing and Christian just stared into her eyes holding her tightly.

Their faces went so close to each other, as if we were about kissing and Christian just stared into her eyes holding her tightly.
****************************
“Wow, so that’s your story” Christian asked as they headed down the street to his house.
“Yes, that's my story. My boyfriend whom I love so much and my best friend betrayed me,” she said with teary eyes.
Miss, that's quite a sad story you got there, Christian said and she nodded.
I really want to get my revenge on them, she said and Christian nodded smiling.
“Miss, if you are a ghost, why don’t you just use your spiritual on them,” Christian asked and she nodded.
“Well, it isn't that simple, I can’t touch anything, neither can anyone see me nor hear me apart from you,” she said and he nodded.
“I'm still surprise on how I can see ghost. what really am I?” he asked no one in particular.
“Please, will you assist me in getting my revenge? “she asked and Christian hault for awhile.
“But how possibly can I do that?” he asked and she nodded.
“I just need you promise me that you will help me get my revenge,” she said looking sad and her eyes drimpling.
“Alright, I promise I’ll help you. Miss, only because I don’t want to see you cry again,” Christian said and she smiled wiping away her tears.
“Thank you so much and please stop addressing me as miss, my name is Jessica Benson but you call me “Jessy”, she said and Christian nodded smiling.
“That's a nice name, you can call me Christian, Christian Joel”, he said and she chuckled.
“You got a cool name, and it suits a cute man like you”, Jessica said and he chuckled.
“Is someone trying to flatter me now”, Christian asked and she smirked.
“Am I not allowed to flatter a guy like you?” Jessica asked and Christian nodded.
“Ofcoures not, but I've taken it down,” he said and Jessica chuckled.
“That's so funny,” she said smiling and Christian didn't say anything as they approach his door.
“Oh no! I forgot to tidy up the house before leaving this morning and now I’m about going in there with a lady. I have to figure a way to tidy it up or I’m going to feel embarrassed in her presence,” Christian thought to himself.
“Christian, what happened to you? aren’t you going to open the door?” Jessica asked and he nodded.
“Can you wait outside for some minutes while I go in alone?” Christian asked and she nodded.
“Is there a problem? Why can’t we both go together? “Jessica asked and Christian nodded.
“There’s something embarrassing I left inside which I wouldn't want you to see, I really need to take them off before letting you into the house,” Christian said and Jessica nodded smiling. “There’s something embarrassing I left inside which I wouldn't want you to see, I really need to take them off before letting you into the house,” Christian said and Jessica nodded smiling.
“Alright, I’ll wait outside, but please could you hurry, it’s cold out here,” she said and Christian nodded smiling.
“Does ghost feel cold?” he asked himself in thoughts.
Christian unlocked the door and stepped into his apartment which is just a room, a bathroom and a small kitchen.
Suddenly, someone pulled Christian to the bed and began kissing him. It was a sexy young lady dressed in a red night wear. He kissed her in return because of his desires, the lady had already made her way in pulling off his shirt, like someone who has been longing for it for a very long time.
“Laura, what the hell are you doing? ” a male voice spoke from behind and Christian pushed her away from him after realising what was going on.
“Who are you? And what the hell are you doing on my bed? “Christian asked the moment he came to his senses.
“She’s Laura, I’m so sorry about her behavior,” a familiar voice said from behind, then Christian realized it was the man that made him stop kissing the strange lady.
Christian turned around to see who the guy was and behold it was him, the disappearing ghost that left him at the eatery.
“So it’s you,” Christian said and the man nodded while eating the last noodles Christian left in the fridge.
“Now, I'll have the opportunity to get revenge for what you did to me today,” Christian said and walked slowly closer to him.
“Hey, what are you doing?” the man asked as Christian straighten him hands forward.
“Are you trying to hit me?” the man asked loudly and began running round the room while Christian ran after him.
He fell from the high bed to the floor, and landing on his butts, then he screamed in pains and Christian chuckled.
“I've finally gotten gotten you,” Christian said heading towards him and he looked scared.
Christian raised his hand up and about to hit him when a hand suddenly hid his from behind and he quickly reacted.
“Arrr my hand, Jessica voice was heard as she screamed in pain and Christian quickly turn towards her.
“Jessy, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Christian asked trying to look at her hand.
“Don’t touch her, she'll get hurt the more,” Laura said and Christian nodded.
