COMMENTS MAKE ME SMILE 🙃💛.
GABRIELLA'S POV:
As I hopped down the stairs of Mr. Dalmonte's home, lo and behold he makes an appearance and literally spoils my before blissful summer saturday morning. Great...Juuuuust great.
“Good morning sunshine.” He beams at me.
I looked at him with annoyance clear on my Mexican face that I'm not happy he exists.
“What do you want?” I folded my arms.
“Your mom came to me and told me you hate your room. Is that true?”
“Of course it's true! Who gives a sixteen year old the room meant for a child?! What do you think I look like?! SIX?!”
“You don't have to shout you know.” He said as he massaged his temples. “I’m sorry honey—”
“Don’t honey me and I am most definitely not your honey, neither do I look like one and you know how I feel about honey. It's disgusting so don't call me that, go call your child that for God's sake!”
“Fine fine there's no need to shout. I've heard.”
“What do you want? You're wasting my time, my friend is waiting for me outside.”
“Boy or girl?”
“Nunya.”
“Don’t even try that nunya stuff on me. Now answer, boy or girl?”
“It’s a boy.” I sighed and rolled my eyes.
“You’re not going anywhere.”
“Oh yes I am and you're not stopping me. Out of my way.” I pushed past him and headed straight for the door.
“Fine if I give you my card to go shopping unless if you don’t go with the boy — whoever he is.....you can by the whole mall if you want. Anything you want.”
And then I turned back with a smirk.
“Anything you say?”
“Yeah yeah anything, literally anything, there's not even a limit to the amount of things you buy. You can even take my car if you want.”
“Your car?” I stared at him with disbelief.
“Yes but don't scratch it..”
I'll try.
“Of course not my dear father.” I said with the most pretentious voice anyone has ever heard.
“Just don't go out with any guy.”
“Oh dear father, I would never do such a daring act.” I continued with my pretentious voice.
~~~~~~
“Hey what took you so long?” Kylie said as soon as she hopped into the front seat of my father's car. “Wait, isn't this uncle Nathan's car????? He's gonna kill us!”
“You call him uncle too?” I rolled my eyes.
“We all do. He's family.” She shrugged. “SO WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING IN HIS CAR?! HE NEVER LETS ANYONE TOUCH HIS CAR. GEE HE'LL KILL US.”
“Stop shouting, you’re killing my ears.” I frowned as I turned on the car.
“Did you just turn on the car?! Oh my God! WE'RE DEAD! WE ARE DEAD!!!”
“Chill Mr. Dalmonte personally told me I can use his car.”
“Wait what? Why?”
“Because I lied to him that I'm going out with a boy.” I grinned evilly at her.
“So???”
“So he bargained if he gives me his car to drive with for the day, I won't go out with the ‘boy’ I'm going out with.”
“But you're not going out with a boy, I'm not a boy. I’m Kylie.....well unless if my name was Kyle then—”
“Don’t...even.” I narrowed my eyes at her.
“Geez I'm just saying.”
“Kylie don't you get?” I said to her and she shook her head. “I lied to him that I was going out with a boy..”
“Why?”
“To make him worry.”
“Why?”
“Enough with the whys and whats. What is important is that we take advantage of the situation.”
“Ohhhhhh. I get where you're going with this.” She grinned after giggling.
“And now with this credit card..” I brought out the platnium card and showed her as I watched her eyes grow wide.
She gasped dramatically. “Don’t tell me—”
“Yes Kylie, I'm holding the Nathan Dalmonte's credit card.”
She gasped again and covered her mouth then brought it down. “You stole your dad's credit card?”
“NOOO...He gave it to me.”
And then Kylie gasped again. “Shut up!”
“I won't!” I smirked.
“Then don't!” She was so captivated by it.
“With this credit card...we are gonna shop the whole of L.A.”
“I wonder how many zeros are in this credit card.”
“Does it really matter...we have it and we're gonna use it!”
“Yes!”
“Look at me.” I held both her shoulders and stared at her straight in the eye. “We will shop..say it.”
“We will shop!”
“And then with this car, we're gonna take so many bad ass pictures and do you know why?”
“Why?”
Because we are bad ass peras and we do not settle for less.”
“AND THAT'S ON PERIOD!” She shouted.
“PERIOD!” I shouted back.
“WOO! WE ARE GONNA BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH YOUR DAD BUT IT IS WORTH IT!”
“EXACTLY!” I put the car in reverse and drove out with speed... almost hit the gate but it doesn't matter cause I’m a pera and that's on period!
The volume of the car speaker was on the highest and we sang along like two drunk and mentally deranged teenagers but we didn't not care! Why?
CAUSE WE ARE BAD ASS PERAS AND THAT'S ON PERIOD!
The whole of that morning, afternoon and evening was spent on pictures and shopping the hell out of our lives. We moved from one boutique to another. Victoria secret, Sephora, Savage x Fenty, Marks and Spencers, Mr. Price, Gucci, Versache, D&G, Chanel, Lumiere Hairs, Brandy Melville, even one of my mom's boutique, you name it!!! I even went as far as to buy a car.....you heard me! What? He did say anything.
“Hey how much is this diamond bracelet?” Kylie asked the salesgirl. We were in my mom's brand new boutique strictly for jewelry.
“Oh the sweetheart charm bracelet?” She rhetorically asked as she came to us.
“Yeah this.” Kylie pointed at it. “How much?”
“Three hundred grand.” She replied and I almost choked on my soda.
“WHAT?!” Kylie's face was shocked then she looked at me.
“Relax, no worries...we have this Soo...” I brought out the card and handed it to her. “And you know what, we'll take double of the bracelet.”
The salesgirl girl was shocked but then smiled at the both of us before she escorted us to the counter along with the bracelets to check it out.
“I feel like we can buy the whole world with this card.” Kylie giggled excitedly as she looked at the salesgirl packaging the bracelets.
“Why don't we? It's not as though anything can stop us or something. And there's no way the money has finished.” I joked and we both laughed but then something stopped our laughter.
The girl kept on sliding the card in the sliding...thingie.. yet it rejected it.
She rose up her head and gave us that kind of look.
“What’s happening?” Kylie asked while I sipped my soda.
“The card keeps on being rejected.” She rose her brow at us.
“Well what the fuck is going on with the sliding whatchamacallit.”
“The sliding whatchamacallit is trying to say there's insufficient money in the account so it can't take money.” She folded her arms.
“That’s impossible. There is no way that account doesn't have money anymore. Hey girl! Do you know who owns this card? It is the Nathan Dalmonte so there is no way money has finished.” I defended stupidly. “C’mon Kylie tell her.” I nudged her shoulder.
“Oh! Umm........YEAH!” Was all she could say as she stupidly grinned at me.
The girl spoke. “Look, fine, why don't you go to the food court and by a five dollar hot dog, then if—”
“Then if they reject the card that means there's no money and if they don't, that means there's something wrong with her sliding whatchamacallit.” Kylie interrupted her.
“Exactly!!! God, Kylie you are so smart.” I said and she rolled her eyes at the two of us.
“Yh whatever.”
~~~~~~
“Your dad, is going to kill us.” Kylie said when the cashier gave us back the money with an angry look. “I can't believe we finished millions of dollars.”
“How can we finish millions of dollars under one day?”
“Are you seriously asking that?” Kylie almost shouted at me.
“Whaaat?” I spoke as we walked out of the fast food restaurant.
“Don’t whaat me!! I saw this coming! I warned you! You tempted me.”
“Exactly tempted, not forced!!”
“He’s going to kill us. That's it! We made him poor!!”
“This....this is strange, definitely strange, how can we just make him poor. There's something wrong.” I heaved a sigh and tapped on the steering wheel of my new car.
“SHOULD I START MENTIONING THE THINGS WE BOUGHT TODAY?!?! THIS CAR IS PACKED WITH EXPENSIVE PERFUMES, BAGS, WATCHES—”
“My phone is ringing... it's him!!!” My heart hammered with fear as I took my phone and looked at the caller ID.
“What did he say????” Kylie questioned me when I cut the call after talking.
“I should come home. Now.”
“How was his voice? The normal scary or the overly scary?”
“Overly scary.”
“Rate on from a scale of one to ten.” She told me to do and I faced her. “Well??”
“Five hundred and twenty.”
~~~~~~~~~
“Kylie where are you going to?” I asked when she unlocked the door herself and went out.
“Wait you actually think I'm okay with dying? HELL NO! You're on your own.... there is no way that your dad is killing the both of us.”
“W—”
“Text me later...well, that's if you're not dead. Love you, bye!!” And off she ran to who knows where.
“Coward!!” I shouted at her as she ran.
“Proudly!” She shouted back.
~~~
As soon as I entered the living room, he was there along with that stupid bitch from that day! What the hell is she doing here?!
Okay that's a very stupid question to ask considering she's his assistant, but still!
“Ummm...hey. Surprised to see you here.” I referred to Mr. Dalmonte.
“This is my house.” He rose his brow at me as he gave that intimidating look of his.
“Of course it is! Why wouldn't it be?” I forced a laughter out of me.
“Where is my card?” He asked.
“Here it is.” I walked over and handed it to him. He passed it to his stupid assistant.
“And how much did you spend? It passed a million right?” He rose his brow.
“Umm...yeah.” I mumbled with my head down.
“Can you please tell me things you bought that was up to a million???”
“Ummm...”
He was hesitating to lash at me. “I’ll ask you one more time Gabriella...how much did you spend?”
A stupid smirk was on his assistant's face, I felt like punching it away.
“Ummm...”
“Check the records of what has been spent with the account and how many has been spent.” He ordered her and she immediately did. I saw the shock and that ‘Ouuuuu You're In Troubleee’ kind of look on her face.
“This is outrageous!” She exclaimed. “Sir, have a look.” She gave him the phone and he looked at the screen intently before looking back at me.
“It’s remaining only two dollars. How is that possible? What did you use the money and do?” His voice was already going high with anger. And as soon as I saw it, it irked me, does he really want to shout at me?
“Buy stuff which you said I should do. I didn't know I spent the entire money.”
“You didn't know huh. How can you spent the entire money inside of that account Gabriella!”
“You said I can buy whatever I want.”
“I didn't say spend the entire money!”
“Well, you said there's no limit.”
“Shut up!”
“No I won't and you can't make me!”
“Fine!.....Miranda!” He turned back and face the stupid woman.
“Y-Y-Yes sir.”
“Start listing everything that was spent from the records of the account from the time of nine am to now.”
“Yes sir.” Once she found it on her phone, she began, and as she kept on listing, his eyes grew wider with anger.
“Wait hold on. You bought at an island?!” He walked to me.
“Yes I did....Just yesterday on the news, your niece Athena got a private island from your father as a gift for her eighteen year old birthday. Since yesterday afternoon she has been flaunting it all over social media....so why exactly can't I do the same?!”
“It’s not a competition.” He said.
“Oh it is.”
“So you even bought a car.” He rose his brow at me.
“It was just seventeen million.” I shrugged.
“Wow! Just seventeen million.” He chuckled nastily. “I really spoilt you didn't I?”
“Yes.” I folded my arms.
“I’m just thankful I gave you my other card.” He muttered.
“What?” I asked.
“Wait you thought this was my main card?” He laughed. “I’m not that stupid to give you my card.”
“So wait, I finished the money in that other bank account but not in the main account?!”
“Yes Gabriella. I won't lie, I saw something like this happening, thank God I followed my instinct.”
“I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU LIED TO ME!”
“More like I knew this was going to happen so I prevented you from making me go bankrupt.”
“I’m....I’m going to my room!” I stomped my feet against the floor as I stormed my way to the stairs.
