Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (books to read fiction TXT) 📗

There are only a few pictures in his feed. I bet he is too busy to even update it. The last post was four months ago. His baby is super cute. I stare at the baby pic with a wide smile on my face. The baby got a jet-black eyes and long hair. It has chubby cheeks.

Aww I want to pinch those chubby cheeks.

Tres looks so mature now but his ever-wonderful smile never changes. I regret not talking to him for years. I miss his charm and childishness.

I am having a battle between my heart and mind if I am going to send him a message. I already type "How are you" but then I erased it and keep my phone away from me.

Hmmm? Maybe next time.

I take a sip of my coffee and take a hold of my phone again. I searched Deus. I don't know why but I am feeling a different emotion. I am too ecstatic to see what is on his account. I click his profile and when I am about to scroll and stalk his current pics,

"Hey, stalking him, eh?" my brother suddenly appeared behind me and speak out of nowhere. I am in shock that I accidentally click the heart on Deus latest post. I panic when I see the red heart on his post.

"Darn, why startle me like that?" I stand up and shouted at him. "Look at this" I hysterically pointed at the heart react. He laughed heartily at me then grabs my phone.

"No, give me that Kai!!!" I reach out for it

"Chill, you're so tensed that you forgot that you can take it back" He click the heart and pointed at the already hollow heart.

"Idiot, what if he is online? What if he is on the gram too? It will notify him aghhhh" I said grabbing my phone back. I stressfully ruffle my hair. I'm doomed.

"If he saw it then its destiny." he said and my jaw dropped.

He walks to the fridge, get a gallon of milk like nothing happened. He gets a bowl and prepare his cereals.

"It's your fault" I pointed at him and he shrugged.

"Ok" he said chewing his cereals. Damn him, damn Instagram. I should not install it on the first place.

 

Chapter Thirty-Eight

"I can contact him for you. You stalking him didn't even cross my mind. Gosh Ellie! Do you want me to call him for you? I don't mind spending extra for doing overseas calls"

Kai is laughing while driving. They are making fun of me again. Ugh! I hate this. I am feeling so worried about that heart react and here they are roasting me.

"You should have seen her face babe. She's so fucking worried and looked like she's about to cry."

Kai feels so happy for he can't stop laughing while sharing the morning incident. Ali is laughing and giggling listening to him while I am in the backseat rolling my eyes at them.

I don't know what hurts the most: being a third wheel or being talked about and laughed at, like you don't exist. I need to calm down or I will end up strangling this two to death.

At least I make them happy.

I hug my chimmy stuff toy. I knew I will feel alone when these two goes love dovey so I bring my favorite stuff toy. At least I have someone with me hmmp.

I also packed a lot of clothes because we will be staying there for three days. I thought we will just bath and go home but I guess Kai is making the most of his time here. He needs to go back to our hometown soon because he already takes over their company.

Ali wants to stay here with me and she also have work here. She is an accountant of a big company here but she's still planning to go back and get her mom's company from his dad.

We arrived in a beach resort and we are warmly welcomed. I get my bag pack and let Kai carry the others. I go to my room and throw myself in the bed. It's so soft. Kai booked two rooms. One for them and yeah for me.

They need some privacy and that's okay with me. Duh! I don't want to watch them cuddle or something. I rather be alone.

I guess I am so tired that I doze off as soon as I lay myself in the bed.

I woke up starving.

I look for my phone and it's already five in the afternoon. Wow, I feel so relaxed that I slept that long.

I sit up and stare at nothingness. I still want to sleep but my tummy is asking for something. I lazily get up like a brain-dead zombie and take myself under the cold shower. Ohh, refreshing.

I wear my pajama as soon as I finished and go to Kai and Ali's room. The door is not locked so I guess I didn't have to knock. I just entered.

I saw them watching something. Kai's hands are snaked around Ali's waist. Their eyes landed on me with a questioning look the moment they noticed me but my eyes are focused on the food in the coffee table. I quickly seat in the couch and get the plate of pasta. I don't care if this is for them. I'm hungry.

"You sleep like a log. I tried to wake you up for lunch but you didn't even budge." Kai commented

I ignore him and just focus on my food. I also saw some garlic bread so I get some and eat it. Ali stands up and go somewhere. When she came back, she hands me a glass of orange juice.
