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

When the sun finally shows up, I go and sit near the beach. I took some photos and post it on my Instagram. Last night I realized that it's been four years and I should act more mature in regards with this. So, what if he followed me on Instagram? We did end up nicely. It's not like we are keeping grudge at each other.

It's been four years of staying away and hiding. We are both living in differently worlds now and it's time to be casual with everything. We can still be friends, I guess.

I am even planning to followed him back.

I stayed here for a while and do some breathing exercise and stretches to calm my muscles. Exercise is not actually my thing but once in a while I need to do it. Health is wealth.

After my run, I go back to my room and take a bath. I eat breakfast with the cheesy couple and they asked me to go with them in the beach. I actually feeling lazy and I prefer to just stay in my room for the whole day but my annoying brother threatened me. So here I am again quickly changing into my beach wear.

Gosh, why is he getting annoying as time passes by?

Since I am not planning to take a bath and will just go to take some pictures, I just tied a printed silk scarf into a makeshift bikini top. Pair it with high-waisted linen trousers for a more casual edge, and then add gold hoops, round sunglasses and dainty layered necklaces. I wear it with Birkenstock’s beach sandals then I am ready to go.

I applied some sunscreen and carry a small bag with me.

I saw Kai and Ali waiting for me in the lobby. Ali is wearing a mismatched bikini that looks so cute and unique while my brother is topless and just wearing beach shorts. Well, I can't hide the fact that he is attractive and handsome but still annoying.

"You look like you're going to walk in a runaway? You're not going to get wet?" there he is again. I rolled my eyes at him. Please I don't want to deal with him.

"I don't want to swim" I lazily answered him. I cling my arms to Ali and pull her with me so we can start walking wherever we are going. Kai is just following us. Let him be the third wheel this time.

The resort has pools but the beach is a better attraction. We go to the beach and we and Ali started to pose for some pictures and of course my brother is our photographer. He is super good at photography I must say.

When we got tired taking lots of photos the two enjoy the water while I am just sitting in the sand feeling the hot rays of the sun. There's a lot of people today. They are enjoying the summer. A lot of them are lying down getting tanned skin.

"Ellie! Come here" Kai is making his way to my direction so I started running away. I am not that dumb to not know his plan. He will throw me in the water.

I decided to just walk in the shore. When I get tired, I go to an ice cream truck and ordered chocolate ice cream for me. I am enjoying my ice cream when I noticed a small pair of beautiful orbs looking at me.

There’s a little boy standing few meters away from me. I guess he is between three to five years old.

He is looking at my ice cream. Maybe he wants one too. I bought another one and walk to him.

"You want?" I asked him. I get down on knee so we're on the same level. He firmly shakes his head.

“Why?” I asked him and just look away trying to hide his craving for the ice cream

I tried to hand him the ice cream but he really refused to take it.

"Hey, I'm not a bad person. This ice cream is clean. I haven't touch it yet." I explained to gain his trust.

He cutely looks at me and then the ice cream. I can see in his eyes that he really wants it. I get his small hands and let him hold the cone. He is taking steps backward avoiding close interaction with me.

"Food fwom stwangers. No!" he shakes his head again.

Now I get it why he keeps on rejecting the poor ice cream and keeping his distance from me. He is a good and smart young boy. For that young age he is already aware that he can’t simply take anything from a stranger because it might harm him. Good kid.

"I'm Ellie, there I am not a stranger anymore." I introduced myself and he smile a little but still being act reserved in front of me.

"Are you alone?" I ask and he nod.

That shocked me. A little kid alone in this crowded place? Really?

"What's your name?" I smiled at him and look at him. He is wearing a cute marvel pajama; cute little shoes and he is holding his stormtrooper stuff toy in his cute little arms.

He is a very handsome kid. Long lashes, perfect nose, cute jet-black eyes and his hair is straight and long that falls till his shoulder. He looks even cuter with his adorable bangs.

I want to take him home.

"Chayi" he said

"Oh, hi Chayi" I greeted him and he shake his head again. What?

"Chayi" he repeated his name correcting me. I heard it right though. Chayi..

"Chayi?" I asked again and his eyebrows knit together getting impatient with me. Oh oww
