Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

Christmas Holiday for me is special not because of the event and the essence of it but because during these times I can earn more money. I can do more job and save more money for my everyday living. It's an opportunity to bury myself at work to forget that I am once again alone for Christmas and for the year end.

"No extra jobs for this year. You’re coming with me. I'm planning to file a leave of vacation to have some rest from the shits of this company." he looks like he's done eating and just finishing his wine.

"But this is a once year event. If I can go get some jobs, I can earn a lot. I can save for my schooling and maybe for some pair of new clothes and sweatshirts or for a new book" I said excitedly.

It’s been a while since I bought myself something new and it's been a month since my wallet had some money on it. Well, I still have the card Donny gave and I'm using it for my daily meals at school and I think it's too much to use it for clothes and not school related disbursements.

"You have me now. You can buy whatever you want. You do not have to worry about your needs because I will provide. You didn't see the black card I have for you. did you? I left it on the side table in your side of the bed a week ago." I shake my head

"No" I answered and his eyes widened. I am busy munching the food and I am literally devouring the food. I don't care about the poise anymore. I'm starving and the food is just so delicious.

"What? Don't tell me you're starving yourself at school? The hell woman why didn't you tell me that you don't have money. How are you able to survive weeks without it?" he's face is calm but his voice isn't. He was close to spitting fires. And his eyes also reflecting strong emotion but he is still handsome.

" You do not have the responsibility to provide for me. If you will just let me, go and get some job then you do not have to worry about me. I've been working since I don't clearly remember when so I can survive." His eyes were now on fire. He's looking at me like I said something very inappropriate.

"You don't understand me, do you? I said you don't have to worry about everything. When I said everything, I mean every goddamn thing in this world. You're my girlfriend now and what would the people think if they saw you working as a saleslady in a mall?" he's now raging but I don't care because I was more amused with how he uttered the word girlfriend. Wow I didn't know he is this serious about this stuff.

"Am I really your girlfriend now? You really serious about it?" I asked with my mouth full of food. Yeah, I am really enjoying the food.

"Drink first." he handed me a glass of water and I gladly accept it and drink it bottoms up.

"Done" I smiled and continue eating again. I looked at him so that he will know that I am waiting for his answer to my question.

"I like you, isn't it obvious? I wouldn't just go grab you in the street days after I saw you hanging out with my parents for nothing. I don't know how to court a lady and nobody ever say no to me that's why whether you like me or not you're mine." I choked on my food because of what he said. He said possessively and I remembered my plan with Ali. I'm sure if he will know about that he will be furious. He once again handed me a glass of water. I cough and cough.

He then stands up walked to my side and rub my back.

"You need to slow down. That food is all yours, nobody will eat that." he laughed. I just look at him and rolled my eyes. I think I'm really stuck with this man now. He is the kind of man that gets what he wants and he want me. God help me.

"Chill" Deus said and handed me a napkin. I wiped my mouth using it and utter a thank you. He returns to his table and continue working while I stayed in my sit and continue eating.

After two hours Deus is finally done. Thanks God I am so sleepy and I need rest. But as I look at him, he is exhausted and I think he needs it more than I do. He has a dark circle around his eyes.

He didn't drive us home. He left his car in the company and ask a driver to take us home using a company car. While on the way I feel asleep and the moment I woke it was already morning. I'm already at the bed wrapped up with the warm arms of Deus. Now I am also used to this side of him. I didn't get stiff anymore whenever he's hugging me to sleep. I felt comfortable in his arms. I stirred and try to get up but he's hug is so tight. I trying to remove his arms around me but he didn't even budge. I really look so small and thin around this big buff.

"Hey, I need to go to the bathroom" I shake his body to wake him up. He finally moved but he tighten his arms around me. What the!!

I slapped his arms and he laughed.

"Good morning, Babe" he greeted me and sit. He rests his back on the headboard and kissed me on the cheek. My face heated up. I keep on saying that I'm finally used to his present but actually not on this soft and sweet side of him. I can't still control my cheeks from blushing and my stomach from having these little naughty butterflies whenever he is acting sweet all of a sudden.

"I need to pee" I mumbled and he loosened his embrace to let me go. I remove the sheets above me and run to the comfort room. I lock the door and pee. I also do a breathing exercise to calm my unnoticed fast beating chest.
