Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

"I have a place in mind. “Ali suggested and they start whispering at each other. I let them because it seems like they are really having fun together. If I need to be their cupid, I am more than willing. Ali deserves a nice guy who can make her feel happy cause she truly deserves it.

"Can I play some music? What are your fave genres so I can play it for you?" I find Kaiden sweet because he always put us into consideration. He never decides just on his own. He makes us feel important. I want him for Ellie.

"I love alternative or pop rock" I said

"Really? Me too. Secondhand serenade and a rocket to the moon is life." Kaiden shared excitedly.

"Yeah, I love them too." I said and I am glad someone share the same interest as me.

"I even attended one of their concerts. When I get a chance again, we will go together." he nicely said and I feel somehow excited. At least I'm looking forward to something.

"Yay, I will add that to my bucket list." I smiled at him through the rear-view mirror and he smiled back.

"Can I come with you too?" Ali asked pouting because she can't relate to us. She doesn't have specific fave genre. She listens to what is popular.

"Of course, when I say together, I mean the three of us." Kaiden clarified and Ali clapped her hands.

"I thought I'm going to be left behind." she said sulking and Kaiden patted her head and I can't help but to silently giggle at their cuteness. It somehow removed my stress. He plays our fave song and we sing it together. Ali is trying her best to sing along with us.

After almost half an hour of driving we finally arrived at the destination. When I see where they take me, I almost cried. From a far I can see the rides and colorful stalls.

A small local theme park. We excitedly get off the car.

I look at Ali and she gives me a thumbs up.

"We are your genie so your wish is our command" she and Kaiden bowed down like an escort. I hugged them both. They both patted my head. Oh, I'm their baby now.

"Come on, let's transform ourselves into kids again." Ali suggested.

"We should turn around and as we do, we will leave all our fears and adulthood shits here in the parking lot. We will enter that theme park as a fearless and curious kids. One, two, three" after the cue we turn around three hundred sixty degrees.

This is the time I should care less. I will enjoy this moment and will think of nothing but the moment I am currently in. I need to enjoy and seize this.

"Come on! I'm excited" Kaiden and Ali grabbed each of my hands and pull me to the entrance. Kaiden paid for all of us. Having an entrance ticket is a dream come true for me. Before I am feeling envy with my classmates’ sharing stories about their experience in an amusement park with their families. Now I am already here very ecstatic to try everything.

At first, I am just looking around trying to remember this in my head. I am amazed with the enormous rides and I can't stop looking around for this place feels like happy place. From a far I can see children wearing colorful costumes and there are people dressed as clowns and some superheroes doing some tricks. There are a lot of food stalls too. Bright colored drinks and foods specially sweets.

"Hey, we are here not just to take a look at everything. Come on Ellie let's try all the rides." they excitedly pull me again to stood in the queue to board their favorite ride, the roller coaster. It's not as huge as the roller coaster in a big amusement park but it’s fine. I am here for the experience. We were strapped onto the seats before the ride started. I can't stop feeling nervous. I am just seeing this in videos in the internet. Ali is holding my hand. We screamed a lot during the ride. After that we ride it again. It was a thrilling experience.

We tried pirate ship, the big octopus ride and other more rides. All of them are breathtaking and make my legs weak but it was fun. We also tried shooting games and I ended up taking home a panda bear. The dashing cars are also amazing. We are just being playful with each other and keep on dashing each other cars. The rides are all mind blowing. After the rides we tried a lot of food. Corndogs and cotton candies. We also bought buckets of gummy bears and gummy worms. We also take a lot of pictures together.

We took our time walking around while eating our food. The day is filled with our laughter’s and corny jokes. I am laughing so much that I'm already holding my tummy. These two brings so much happiness. I didn't expect his young man to be this crackhead and full of humor.

We really enjoyed the day but all things come to an end. We stayed in the parking lot for an hour sitting on the ground and just sharing random stuffs before we finally decided to go home. It's a bit late in the evening and we still have early classes tomorrow.

"Did we make you happy?" Kaiden asked

"Very much. I temporarily forgot everything that stressing me out. I want to thank you guys. This means a lot to me. I never felt this happy. Thank Thank you very much. I am so so happy" I sincerely said

"This is just the start we are about to start new adventures as the Three Musketeers." we laughed at Ali.
