Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

I ended up scratching my head. Not a good idea because I ended up grabbing Deus shirt and shorts because these are what I usually wear at home but wearing these in front of his confused parents would confuse them more so I throw Deus things back to the closet and grab my own things.

I quickly went to the bathroom and take a quick bath. I don't want to make them wait.

I dry my hair and tied it in a ponytail to make myself look presentable. I put a little amount of powder and applied lip gloss enough to hide my paleness. When I'm finally satisfied with my looks, I started walking out the room and go down the stairs. My pace was slow because I'm trying to take my time to calm myself.

How would I approach them now? Will I smile at them first or hug them?

I was fidgeting while walking and I was too occupied by my thoughts that I didn't even notice that I am almost in the kitchen. From where I am, I can already see them talking. Deus is leaning in the countertop with his cute strawberry shortcake apron which somehow lessen my nervousness. He is talking to his parents that are seating in the high chairs in the counter table.

I'm too shy to enter the scene so I stayed at where I am standing. I observed them and somehow felt a pang of envy. It seems like they are having a happy time talking about stuffs. Deus is not that serious in front of them. He's even smiling and he looks so interested with talking to them.

I was admiring them with awe when suddenly Deus eyes shifted to my direction. My nervousness is back. He uses his hand to motioned me to get inside. I shake my head and he smiled. He then makes his way and come to me. He holds me in my wrist and pull me inside the kitchen.

I am trying to walk slowly but he is taking long strides.

"Mom, Dad I know you already know her but let me introduce my lovely girlfriend" he turns my body to face his parents. " Heaven Amelie"

Shit! I don't know what to feel. My breathing was so unstable. I didn't know meeting the parents of your boyfriend would be this... I can't even explain what I am feeling right now. I just showered but it feels like I was sweating all over again. I don't know if I should smile at them or ughhh I just don't know. My mind stops working. I ended up standing here in front of them not moving at all like a statue.

"Babe? Are you fine?" Deus hold me in my arm and maybe he feels that I am shivering so he hugs me from the back.

"Hey, breathe. You're so stiff. They won't bite you" I can feel the vibration of his voice and laughter because he was so close to me like super close.

Nayana and Donny laughed with him and that amazes me.

"Honey, I missed you. Now I know why I never see you walking home from school. We got so worried" Nayana stand up and walk towards me. Deus let me go so Nayana can kiss me on my cheeks and hug me so tight. I missed her hugs too. It’s so warm and it just feels like a hug from a real mom.

"I went and asked about you from your landlady but she said you moved out and didn't tell anyone where you are going. I thought you left the town. I was about to hire an investigator to find you" Donny also raise from his seat and hug me.

"I'm sorry. Everything was so sudden and I didn't mean to make you worried." I apologized as I hug them back.

"Now, we’re happy to see you again IN MY SON'S HOUSE" Donny emphasized the last words. After the long warm hugs, they let me go because Deus was pulling me away from them.

"Enough with the hugs." he said and I glared at him. He was so killjoy.

"What a jealous man we got here Donny. He is being so selfish." His mom sounded so pissed

I looked at Deus and mouthed him "Don't be rude. It's just a hug"

"You never hug me that tight, I'm jealous" he also mouthed. In an instant a pink tint was all over my cheeks. Damn Deus.

I quickly get over it and chose to entertain his parents instead.

"So, when did you move in with him? And how the hell you two met again?" Donny was really glaring at his son like he really did bypass them by keeping this a secret.

"I am with him for about 2 months now. And we met again when..." I stop because I don't know what to say. I just can’t say that WHEN YOUR SON SUDDENLY CAME AND FORCE ME TO LIVE WITH HIM.

"I met her in a cafe" I'm glad Deus continue my story. I nod to support him and try my best to not look suspiciously lying.

"Really, I should have known earlier. And you really have a good catch son. Heaven is so kind hearted and beautiful. She's intelligent too. She's on top of her batch and ahm a very hardworking lady." Nayana said with admiration in her eyes. I am too overwhelmed with how she is so proud of me. I wanna cry actually.

"And you better be a good man" Donny is taking the talk so seriously. There is no reaction on his face and his voice is threatening Deus.

Opps. Did he forgot that he is his father? Cause he is acting like mine. But I appreciate it anyway. He and his wife are the sweetest.

"I am the best boy dad. I won't hurt her so please cut that crap" Deus continue what he was cooking. I take my seat in the middle of Nayana and Donny.
