Tastes Like We're Going To Be Rich!

Camila's POV

"Thanks Tessa, you really are the best." I said with a smile. Caleb was pouting and didn't even say a word. I could see him from the mirror. "Honey, won't you say thank you to Tessa for her help?"

He shrugged. "Whatever, thanks aunt Tessa."

"Teenagers." I said cloaking my concern in an awkward smile.

"That doesn't mean he should give you that tone. I tell you all the time, Cami. That tone was not proper." Tessa insisted.

"Can we not talk about that now?" I cut her off. She always told me to handle the situation more seriously, telling me that I wouldn't want him to become bratty like Jaxon's family, and it always hurt a little. But today will not be the day to scold him.

"Sure, fine whatever you say, cuz." She said instantly. Tessa was like my sister, and her parents took care of me like I was their own.

"So how's aunty and uncle?"

She smiled,"when you call then aunty and uncle, you sound like you're still four years old."

I ended up laughing. "Well, I'm still their baby and that's fine."

"Sure sure. Well, they're fine. I'm so excited actually!" She said, "Oh look, we're here."

I heaved in a deep sigh. This estate was even better than I'd imagine. For a start, it was clean, and it seemed like a little heaven with the way these modern houses were designed. It was a fancy neighborhood indeed, Camila had been right.

"'Mom, are we really going to be living here??" A little excitement spread in his eyes.

"That's right, honey." It was a satisfactory smile. We parked in front of a beautiful apartment. "Are you ready to get a tour of our new home??"

His reply came as a shrug, then a slow head nod. "Sure, whatever."

"Hey, be nice." Tessa scolded.

We were still in the car when a loud crash met us from behind. It wasn't fatal but still enough to steal loud shout from us. "Are you okay! Caleb? Tessa??"

"Y-yea I am," Tessa said. "Caleb?"

"I'm okay," he said faintly.

My whole body was filled with fear, but it reduced when I saw Caleb and Tessa were okay. "Thank goodness. Who was that lunatic!" I jumped out of the car. Tessa and Caleb followed behind.

A tall figure stepped out of the car. He took off his shades as he came advancing towards us. He had this air of handsomeness in him that annoyed me for even noticing even when I was angry. His eyes glinted--I could have sword they were green.

"I am so sorry, are you all alright?" His deep voice carried this tone of worry in them it almost was soothing.

A faint smirk touched his face. He looked handsome but not the magazine type, just handsome enough for you to know he was a charming playboy...Yea he looked like a Casanova with his neat haircut and neat clothing style and well fit physique.

Just at the same time I yelled out; "of course we're not!" did Tessa and Caleb chorused like in a trance, "Yes..."

I frowned and turned to them. Tessa cleared her throat and Caleb looked away.

The mystery man chuckled. "I'm glad you're alright. And for the trouble, I want to make it up to you. I hope the car isn't damaged?"

As I was about to respond, he walked to check the car. I was angry he'd ignored me but kept myself from overreacting.

The car's bumper has been scratched a bit. "Let me fix this,"

"She's in a hurry to leave." I said angrily.

"Oh is that so? It's your car, miss?" He said to Tessa and she nodded.

"But it's fine-" She started to say,

"-no it's not. I am genuinely sorry. I'd like to pay for the repairs at least, please can I have your account details?"

We both exchanged looks. Of course he was rich and wanted to throw his money at us! Whatever, I replied with a shrug.

She called her account details and he carefully typed the digits. "Okay, thanks. Sent." He said.

A beep sound from Tessa's phone said he'd sent the money. "Thank you."

"Can I get the grace to apologize once more? Since you're in a hurry, it'll be real quick." He said then headed back to his car.

Caleb tugged at my sleeves. "Mom, look at that cool dog in his car. Can I look? Can I look?"

"Sure. Don't go too close," Tessa replied before I could, and Caleb bounced off. "It's fine we're watching him. And damn! He's smoking hotttttt!"

I rolled my eyes. "Of course he is. He's probably even tired of hearing it already."

"Hey you know, I was a little angry you took all my savings to get yourself an apartment at such an expensive estate instead of just living with us or renting a small place, but I think I get your point now!"

"I know it's a lot of money, but see how excited Caleb is? The least I can do is build a great life for the both of us. It's not his fault his dad is a monster. I will work hard and pay for next year's rent." I said, really I was trying to convince myself I wasn't making a wrong decision.

"I understand. I mean what if he lives in this neighborhood?? Having just one of him in your life will make you a millionaire in no time!"

"Shut up, Tessa. I am not going to start sleeping with rich men for money. I'm better than that."

She scoffed. "Are you sure about that? You're broke, girl!

"Mom! He's so cute!" Caleb shouted. I turned to see him petting this giant dog and I almost passed out.

"Caleb get away from that!"

"Relax, Tiger is a really good boy." The stranger said. He came to join us with two packages in his hand. "Please accept these, they're from my uh, start up jewelry store. Please feel free to tell me what you think about them."

"No, I don't think we can accept-" before I could finish, Tessa had snatched the packages from him.

"Wow! Wait, start up? These are from Wealthhouse store!" She said with excitement. "These bad babies costs millions."

The stranger just laughed again. "Well I'm glad you like them."

"Thank you so much." Tessa said, still smiling brightly. "Alright, I should probably hit the road now." I escorted her to the car.

"If these costs millions, you think I can sell them?" She flashed me a dangerous look like I'd just suggested we killed someone.

"If you sell them, I will literally kill you. Here's yours, I'll take one." We split it and I still had it at the back of my mind to sell whatever was inside, if it could fetch me money.

"Thanks so much, Tessa. Please come and visit from time to time, hmm?"

"Holy mother of--!" Tessa shouted like she'd just seen a ghost.

"What the fuck? What's that?"

She screeched so loud I didn't know what to think, then flashed her phone to me. "See! See how much he sent to me for the car repair!"

I tried hard not to over react but seeing just so many zeros did not seen to help! "Wow, okay, I want just 30% of this. I'm gonna be rich!."

My phone's ringtone interrupted the moment. I frowned as soon I saw the caller.

Tessa was peeping too. "Wait, is that...Jaxon? What does that bastard what's now."
