Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

" Hey, why are you still not prepared? You need to prepare now Ellie. Chop Chop" she entered the room. The paper bags that she's carrying got my attention.

"What's that?" I pointed the bags using my lips. She gave me a smirk.

"I brought you something to wear for today" she enthusiastically shakes out the contents of the bags to my bed. She picked it up one by one and show it to me.

" I think these will look good on you" she is smiling from ear to ear while holding different variety of beach wears. I slumped my shoulders and shake my head. She is going to dress me up again like a barbie doll. She loves doing that and I hate it.

"Can't I wear clothes like this" I pointed at the clothes that I'm wearing and she creased her forehead as a sign of disagreement.

''It's my style and I bet nobody will ever bother to look at me." I rant and lazily sit beside her in my bed and look at the clothes. These are nice but I don't think I can pull them off. I'm not that comfortable wearing revealing clothes. And I think there is no need of showing some skin at all.

" That's the point. If you wear baggy clothes like that nobody will look at you. But if you change your style a bit then I bet you will be a head turner. And look at your body it is something to be proud of girl. So come on and get ready."

I don't wanna argue anymore. I'm not in the mood.

I stand and go to the bathroom feeling defeated. I showered for an hour, yeah that long and I don't even wanna go out yet if only Ali wasn't frantically banging the bathroom door shouting for me to go out. I don't have any choice but to come out and wear the outfits she personally chose for me. I tried a lot and she ended up choosing a one-shoulder swimsuit in burgundy-violet color worn with crochet pattern island beach dress.

"Perfect" she's clapping her hands and is looking at me like I am her masterpiece. I look at myself in the full-length mirror and in fairness I look good on these.

"Now pose for me." she dragged me on different spots and tells me what to do since I don't know anything about posings.

"Smile but not too big. Just enough. Hold these flowers" she grabbed the pressed flowers from a table nearby and hand it to me for props.

"Now, look on those flowers." I did everything she says. After doing a lot of poses she finally stopped.

"I'll post this in the gra...." she suddenly stopped maybe she realized what she is saying. " Opps, as much as I want to show the world how I transform my nerd best friend into a beautiful temptress, I can't. Old handsome might find us... That's sucks though. Your pics deserves to be on the gram and not just to be stocked in my gallery" she looks disappointed.

"Don't let the thought ruined the mood" she easily let go of it and cling in my arms.

"Let's go and meet some handsome man outside. I'm sure there's a lot. Let's find me a boyfriend."

And true to her words the moment a guy asked her to show him the island she agreed immediately. She asked me if I will be okay and I just give her a thumbs up. I let them go and they stroll around while I am left walking around alone.

The people are starting to come and there's already a crowd in here. A lot of people are wandering around the island. There's a very long table near the beach where the food is served and everyone is free to get whatever they want to eat. It looks like a festival and it makes my mood hype up.

When I felt tired walking, I just sit in one of the cottages. The sun is about to set and soon the place will be full of lights. I watched how the people greet each other like they knew each other a long time ago. They are sharing stories and some are laughing. There are also some kids who are making sand castles with their cute pails and shovels. The others are already swimming in the beach and posing for pictures maybe for their social media accounts.

I am comfortably sipping my orange juice when a man I think on my age appear from nowhere and sit beside me. He is holding a bottle of whiskey. I didn't give a damn at first but he is I think trying to get my attention. He is continuously clearing his throat so I look at him.

He is smiling at me. He looks handsome but Deus still looks better though.

"Hey miss, may I know your name?" I don't really want to talk to him but it will be rude if I'll just ignore him.

"I'm Ellie" I introduced my named shortly and give him a smile that is close to being fake.

"I'm Zander" he offers his hand and I didn't accept it. I don't wanna be rude but I just don't feel like shaking hands with him. I feel uncomfortable around him. I started to look for Ali but she's nowhere to be found.

"You look beautiful" I noticed that she is checking me out and that send shivers of fear in my body. His eyes stayed in my thighs for a long time before his eyes met mine.

"Nice thighs" he complimented but I find it disturbing. I am started to fidget and get nervous. I am about to leave but he pulled me back and cornered me in his arms. I shrieked and I was about to shout when he tosses the bottle of whiskey on the floor to free his hand and use it to forcefully cover my mouth from behind. I am trying my best to let myself go but he is powerful. I am trying to kick him from behind but I felt too weak from struggling too hard.
