Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

"I just want to know, you sleep in the same bed, right?" she asked and I purposely widened my eyes for her to quit the topic.

"You can whisper it to me if you are shy." She gets close to me like very close and lean her ears near my mouth.

"Yes" I answered her question.

"You cuddled to sleep?" she asked again and I can't help but to face palmed. The curious cat is back in the city.

"Yes" I briefly answered.

"Hmmm. I really admire how he manage not to touch you. I'm amazed. I will give him hundred points for that." she said and it's new to me. Most of the time she is making names of him and feels so irritated when we are talking about him. This is a miracle.

"Do you think he himself is still a virgin?" she asked and my face suddenly feel so hot.

"I..I ...do..n't know. And w..why are you asking me that. " I stutter cause that's an awkward thing to talk about.

"Why are you blushing?" she laughed heartily at my discomfort. I am not really open talking about things like that. I grew up without many friends and family to educate me about that. Besides I am so busy making a life so I really don't have someone to talk to about that thing. It's a taboo for me.

I knew something about that I admit but it is because of books that I'd read, and it is not in full detail. I am feeling shy right now kind of more of feeling embarrassed.

"So innocent. Don't worry I'll ask Deus to teach you everything “she said and I blushed even more. She is enjoying this as she is laughing too much. She keeps on laughing that she is now holding her stomach.

"I hate you" I said but she is so happy to care about it.

"Damn!!!! So noisy. Someone is sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ali and I both stopped when we heard someone furiously shouting. He sounded so mad.

"Oh... owwww" Ali said looking at me. She goes and hide in my back.

"Save me"' she whispered holding the hem of my shirt.

"I told you to lower down your voice. Now we have awakened the beast." I said acting so scared. I just want to scare her. Tres is as sweet as a baby so I am sure he will not harm us.

"Is that the youngest Cavelli?" she asked

"Yes, he is as scary as Deus you know. So better behave." I seriously said so I can get her. She returned to her seat and read her book again but from time to time she is looking at me.

"I thought he is nice." she can't stop herself from asking but this time she is whispering. Maybe she doesn’t want to be in trouble.

"Deus is better'' I look at her with assurance.

As soon as my eyes leave her face, I saw Tres standing behind her. My heart leaps because of shock. His nostrils flare outwards and vertical wrinkles appear between his eyebrows because of the words that came out from my mouth...

How did he get there just like that?

"I am better than Deus." Tres said pouting waiting for me to take my words back. Ali's eyes widened but she is not yet looking at the man behind her. She is looking at me.

"You scared me Tres." I said holding my chest and calming myself.

"I heard you, Ellie. I heard you. Take it back. I'm better than him"" he is whining like a child.

He sits beside Ali and I want to laugh at Ali's reaction because she suddenly become stiff. She is not moving and not even blinking. What is wrong with her? She didn't even see him yet and she is already stars trucked by his presence.

"You too are just the same. You are nice and he is nice as well. No one is better. you too are equal I'm just joking around" I explained but he doesn't look okay with it. He rapidly shakes his head.

"Who is more handsome then?" he asked and I laughed.

"Both. You two are brothers and almost have the same features Tres. I can't choose." his forehead creased looking annoyed that he didn't get the answer he wants from me.

"You!" he looks and pointed at Ali. She looks so shocked and nervous. I laughed.

"You already saw Deus right?" Ali is straightly looking at his face and nod like a tamed puppy.

"Who is more handsome?" Tres asked not giving up. She gives Ali a sweet smile showing of his pearl white teeth and a little dimple on his cheeks. He is trying to look cuter than he already is.

"You'' Ali said staring at him with a pink tint on her cheeks. She looks like a teenage girl who just saw her crush.

"See Ellie. I like your friend. You have a nice eyesight miss. Take you for being honest. Give me a high five." Tres offered his hand but Ali just looks at it and do nothing.

"Hey, high five" Tres budge her and that’s the time she returned to the real world.

"Ah, Okay" They high fived and Tres is looking happy now that he got a new ally whose name is Ali. Nice.

"You guys woke me up. I heard you laughing and I am glad you two are happy and comfortable. Few more hours and we will arrive in the city." Tres yawned. I noticed that he is wearing a white pajama set and a cute hat that looks like a Christmas hat but with dark gray color. I think I already saw that sleeping hat somewhere I can't remember where though.
