Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

Nayana and Donny was looking at us. They are glaring at Deus for some minute then eyed me with a soft stare after. They are doing that for an hour now.

My heart is pounding so fast because I somehow have an idea with what's going on in their mind and if they asked me about it, I don't know what to say. We are still in the bedroom. Me and Deus was still under the sheets. Yeah, under one sheet.

I was half asleep and Deus was cuddling me when the door abruptly open. At first, I thought it was nothing until I heard a man cursed.

Deus quickly sat up to look who it was. I was waiting for Deus to talk because I don’t want to get up yet but he became so silent.

"Hey, who is it?" I asked. No response.

Out of curiosity, I get up and my eyes almost popped when I saw Donny and Nayana standing on the door looking so shocked. And that is when the staring game started. No one got the guts to talk.

Deus must have plans on how we can get out of situations like this. After all he was the mastermind of all these sudden happenings. I don't even have an idea with what he needs from me aside from the fact that he like me.

"What are you doing here?" Deus finally broke the silence that enveloped the house by rudely asking his parents that question. His parents are in shocked and so am I while he is so relaxed and looks like unbothered with his parent's sudden visit.

"To visit you son. Your mom wants to see you and we came up with the idea of this surprise visit and it looks we are the one who is surprised. Care to explain?" Donny was trying to sound humorous but I know he is confused right now. Nayana is not talking and so busy staring at me and Deus consecutively. I can't read anything from her face.

I want to hide somewhere. I can't stop but to face palm. Gosh Heaven. I was so disappointed with myself. I can lose my friendship with them because of this.

I reached for the hem of Deus shirt and pulled it a little to catch his attention. He looks at me and move closer until we're only inches apart. I did that to try to tell him to do something but he's being an asshole.

What the hell is he doing? His parents are here staring at us and did he forgot that they just caught us sleeping next to each other and now he is giving them another thing to wonder.

When I thought he is about to do something naughty, his face moved a little to my ears.

"Don't worry babe, I'll handle this. You can go to the bathroom and fixed yourself while I talk to these old folks." he whispered. He is not even bothered and is so calm right now, how can he do that? I am shaking and sweating with my fast-beating heart. I gave him a nod before I remove the sheets that is covering my lower body. I stand up and bow my head while I walk with the fastest way I can.

"I need to go to the bathroom. Excuse me" I didn't have the courage to look at Donny and Nayana.

I'm literally shaking right now. When I reach the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror. My tears start falling and I didn't know why but I'm crying hard. I tried to stopped myself but ended up crying harder.

Nayana and Donny were the only one who has been nice to me but right now I don't know what they're gonna think of me. Did they see me as a whore now? A gold digger? Oh gosh...

Just the mere thought is making me weak. I sat on the floor and curled up hugging my knees. The floor was cold but I don't care anymore. I let my tears fall continuously.

I hate myself. I keep on pushing people away. Am I going to lose the only two person who believes in me?

I buried my head in my knees.

Why am I like this?

I tried to calm myself but it's futile. I'm tired of convincing myself that everything is okay when it’s far from being okay. I'm not alright. I'm too far from being even close to that.

I don't know how long did I stay at my position and cry my heart out. I am so occupied with a lot of thoughts that is going on through my head.

"Babe" I hear Deus calling and I quickly stand up and washed my face in the sink. I hope this will help to somehow hid the fact that I cried. While I was wiping my face using face towel a hand was wrapped around my waist. He even kissed me on my shoulder. I look at us on the mirror. We really look like a couple but really what are we? I don't even know.

Our eyes met in the mirror. The moment his eyes met mine a creased was formed on his forehead. He looks at me intently and quickly turned me around making me face him.

"Did you cry?" he asked as he softly stroked my cheeks. I was supposed to deny it but the moment he asked I can't contain my emotions anymore. I hid my face on his chest and cry again. I was sobbing on his chest while he was sweetly stroking my back trying to somehow ease what I am feeling.

"Are you okay? Does something happen while I'm outside? Did you hurt yourself?  hmm?" I shake my head. He was trying to make me face him again but I refused and keep my position. He then didn't push it and just continue rubbing my back and whispered sweet words to comfort me. I was crying so hard because I don’t understand everything. I don't know where to stand.
