The Billionaire With A Pink Gun

I moved the strands of hair on my face before standing up with a bang. I opened the door and Kristoff appeared with a sweet smile.

"Hey Kristoff, stop there! Where are you going? You're only 10 years old! Study there! You don't even know PEMDAS!" I yelled at Kristoff in annoyance.

"Oops, I just woke you up. I'm asking for the bag because I'm going to school," my brother said cutely.

I sighed and took my wallet. I took forty pesos and handed it to Kristoff. My restless brother is still snorting.

"Only forty? Add ten pesos!" he whined.

"Why, you just want to treat your crush Venice!" I teased Kristoff.

"Tse, you're ugly! You're so stingy that's why you still don't have a boyfriend!" Kristoff shouted and ran away from me.

That kid really has no shame. Kristoff Yoseff Johannes is my brother and he is only ten years old but has so many girls already! I don't know about my brother, but he's a chickboy who hasn't even been circumcised yet.

I went down to the kitchen to have breakfast. I saw dad leaving to take Kristoff to school. The fool even flayed me before riding on dad's tricycle.

"What's up Adahlia? It's already noon, you child! You really don't take care of the morning! Why didn't you even cook breakfast, if I didn't wake up early we wouldn't have any food!" mother said.

"Mom, you don't do anything during the day. If you're not watching movies, you're there with Aling Karen and playing Tongits Go. I'm so tired from work," I complained.

"Well, you're answering bacl now! I can make some money at Tongits Go! Eat that and pay our bill! I'm stressed out by you siblings!" mother shouted and sat across from me. She massaged her temples.

In our family, all of us are restless except for dad. We are at home but always shouting. Especially mom, oh they always complain about the witch Bruhilda! When they lose in Tongits, they curse die bitch motherfucker.

"Where are you stressed?" I asked and took a bite of a hotdog.

"Your brother Kristoff. I don't know about that boy! He said my hair was too rough like sandpaper! Then he criticized our electricity for being so expensive! They say that the electricity supplier has been fooling us for a long time. That's right, and the teacher also reported to me that he has a girlfriend already. What do you kids have!" mother complained and left the house. She pretended to walk out with her bffs.

I just shook my head and ate. It's still an hour early before I go to work. Kristoff wakes me up early because he says I won't buy anything for him if I don't work. He said that if I didn't work, he wouldn't have anything to feed her future wife and wouldn't be able to graduate. What a child, he's only ten years old!

I finished eating so I went upstairs. I got a towel and undergarments before going downstairs and showering in the bathroom. After I showered, I went up to my room again to put on my uniform.

I am a bank teller at BDA, Banco de Aura, and I work Monday to Saturday. It's especially tiring when there are annoying customers asking for my name. They say I look like Devon Aoki, but the brunette version.

After I took care of everything, I left the house and locked it. I walked out of our corner. I saw my father at the tricycle parking lot so I asked if I could join along. I have a passenger with me because it's a waste of time. I'll just go along with it instead of waiting.

Father is a tricycle driver while mother is a former waitress in Japan. Their dedication helped me graduate my Accountancy course so I am proud of my parents even though our lives are difficult. Of course, I am also proud of myself because even though life was difficult and full of trials, I reached my dream and finished. I also have a decent job.

I was just stupid while riding the tricycle. I saw a couple on the steps of Mercury Drug eating fried rice and kwek-kwek. I want that kind of love too. When can I have the man of my dreams?

Adahlia's POV:

When I got to the bank, I immediately went inside and logged in. I worked all afternoon until I got home. I hate being left here alone and working overtime. I'm still afraid to be alone because the surroundings are so quiet and scary.

"Hey Adahlia, seriously look there! Isn't Joseph flirting with you?" Mercedes called me.

"Yes why?" I asked and approached Mercedes.

"Oh, that's it, watch it! That shameless womanizer! I thought he was a good man!" Mercedes said with a frown.

She handed me her cellphone so I watched the video. My eyes widened because it was Joseph.

There was a woman in front of him who was twerking. The fool even paid the woman some cash before drinking alcohol. What a cheater!

Mercedes thought that Joseph was just flirting with me but we had been in a relationship for a month now. My family thought I was a "no boyfriend since birth" until now, but the reason I don't tell them of my boyfriends because I always get cheated on! As for the mother, she've known of the last four times I was cheated onso I am ashamed to introduce a boy to my family. Nothing lasts long.

"He's a shameless man, he's not ashamed of himself anymore! He may be handsome, but he has bad breath! He always has pepper on his teeth. He doesn't even brush his teeth, but he has the guts to cheat!" I shouted in annoyance and almost threw Mercedes' cellphone.

"Hey, calm down. That's my cellphone and it's an iPhone 12 Max Pro!" Mercedes said to me so I handed her the phone.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just got carried away," I said with a grimace.

I was devastated after watching the video. Joseph was my first kiss, then the crazy guy turned out to be a womanizer. I am no longer driven to choose the right man. Stupid cheaters.

"Yow wazzup! Did you hear?" Louise shouted as she left the bank.

Louise is my best friend who is a gossip. Sometimes it also slips into secrets. That's why we get along before because she was my source of gossip while I was the one who chainmailed our bank tellers.

"I'm really here, Louise. We all know about Joseph," I said with a sigh.

I can see the sadness in Louise's eyes. Even though we both goof around sometimes, we still get hurt when we have a serious conversation. She knows how happy I am with Joseph but here he is now and his video is still scattered on Facebook.

"I'm sorry, Adahlia. It's been said and we should follow Joseph. That pepper eater is a fraud," Louise said.

"Pepper eater?" I wondered.

"Eats pepper. That animal always has pepper in his teeth," Louise answered, making me shake my head.

Louise and I spoke clearly for a moment. She told the whole gossip about Joseph. It is said that someone also leaked the video just now of them kissing in a bar. Joseph is rich and a millionaire so he is a famous person.

"You know, we'll just drink that pain away. Come with us and let's go to a bar! What do you say, girls?" Louise said and turned to Mercedes.

"Right, let's go! We just got paid last week!" Kris shouted.

"Yes, come on, I'm going with you now. I'm going to drink there. Let's forget that stupid asshole!" I shoutedand my friends cheered.

We rode a tricycle to go to an expensive bar. I just held my breath when we stopped at a boutique clothing store. I thought it was in the boutique, but it's actually in the mall. Expendables.

Here I am again, I am no longer attracted to those men. We will go back to the bar and party until the morning. I'll buy a sexy dress and be beautiful tonight! Just a little bit of alcohol won't hurt.

"What the hell? Adahlia, you look expensive," Louise whispered seductively.

"Yes, let's spend," I said softly.

"Yes, Madam Cheapskate will spend!" Louise said happily, making our friends laugh.

–

We're here outside the bar and I'm nervous again. Calm down Adahlia, you're old now. You can handle yourself and you are not a child anymore. I'm always a loser in love, am I still a loser even with alcohol!? That is a big no.

We sat in a place where there were two couches facing each other. We were all wearing party dresses that we bought at the mall earlier, they really didn't want to lose without changing the full outfit.

I bought a fitted deep v-neck red dress that was still 50 percent off. Fortunately, it is cheap even though the quality is good. It was good to be alone and I was ahead of Louise. For 600 pesos, I was able to buy a dress and high heels that my friend had bought earlier. I found a fake YSL for only 150 when we passed by earlier.

"Great Adahlia, your brunette beauty is really different! There are a lot of boys looking at you. Look over there in front of us, there are people looking at you who look rich and handsome. Wave back!" Mercedes said and waved to the other table.

"Yes, chill first. Don't stress about your stupid ex," Louise said and waved at her.

I turned to that table and that's when my jaw dropped. I think these are gods, not humans! Jaw-dropping beauty! But I don't like handsome people anymore, they are always cheaters. Handsome, ugly, every man cheats nowadays!

I waved at their table, so the men snorted and yelled at the one in the middle who was serious. He looked like a sculpture because of the extreme perfection. He looks like Zayn Malik of One Direction. That band used to be my favorite when I was young.

When he grinned, my world stopped for a moment. That man has such good looks. I was shocked that myjaw really dropped. Oh my, this is embarrassing!

Adahlia's POV:

I turned my attention to something else because I didn't want to stare too much at the other table.

After a while, the drinks we ordered arrived. It's two buckets of Smirnoff. I rarely drink but when I do, I hardly get drunk. I'm always the one who takes care of my friends.

"You bought drinks for children. Aren't there any hard drinks?" I asked them.

"Oh, you're so arrogant, Adahlia! Later when we bring out tequila, I don't know if you can still say that. You're used to drinking on the corner, but not yet internationally," Louise said with a smirk.

"Those wines, they're all the same even if they're international brands. They just have different alcohol percentages so the effects are different," I said and opened my Smirnoff.

We used up two buckets and I got the third. I still didn't get it right so I was surprised when a Black Label arrived at our table. I know this drink and it is quite pricey. We didn't buy something like this because we couldn't afford it. I even asked if there was a gin around because that's not a trend here.

"Who did that come from? We don't order anything like that," I asked the waitress.

"Oh ma'am, I was just ordered to give it to you. It was given to you by Sir Sebastian, that handsome man sitting in the middle of them wearing a navy blue suit," replied the waitress before leaving.

I looked at the other table and the so-called Sebastian winked at me. Seriously, I think I was thrilled. Now I realized that I didn't take Joseph seriously, I think I also have a problem with our relationship. I just love the fact of being in a relationship because I'm afraid of growing old alone.

I just shook my head and poured Black Label into my glass before drinking. I am also guilty but it is also wrong to cheat. His face is still as thick as his mother's.

The cheers of our friends went round and for the first time I felt a chill. The liquor feels warm and you will really be thrilled with the taste because as time goes on the taste becomes more bitter like a relationship.

"Hi girls, can we join you?"

I looked up and saw the handsome man standing in front of us. He looks like he's mixed race because he has blue eyes. Behind him is the Sebastian that gave us the Black Label.

"Sure, have a seat! It's just us anyway!" Louise said happily and invited these handsome men to sit down.

Sebastian stood next to me and I smiled. I can see him grin.

Sebastian's POV:

"Hey dudes, I'll bet my car if Sebastian doesn't flirt today!" Willis said with a smile.

"Of course that's not flirting. I'll bet my yacht, Rosalinda my love. Fucking bet it on," Bruno said with a grin.

I smirked because of their stupidity. I just don't want to hang out with girls because most of them are flirts. I will only flirt and eventually they will ask me if I can bang them. Call me old-fashioned but I'm keeping my virginity for the girl whom I will love for the rest of my life. I also like a girl who is a bit funny like mom.

"Bro, show them what you got. You're going to give me Kuya Bruno's yacht for Christmas," Piolo whispered to me.

"No worries," I smiled.

My friends whistled while looking at the entrance of thebar so I looked up. That woman in the middle captured my eyes, she's goddamn beautiful. My type of women is a brunette, simple, and modest. She is also sexy, like the models on television.

"Shit, those are going to be beautiful! Let's go and ask for their numbers," said Harold.

"That one in red dress is mine," said Bruno.

"Cut it out, Bruno. She's mine. She is my type," I said and took a sip of wine.

Bruno's jaw dropped as did Willis'. Piolo is very happy because Bruno's yacht is going to his. He wanted that yacht for a long time.

"You look like you've been blown by the wind, dude. I thought you were gay," Willis teased me.

"Even if Sebastian is gay, we still love you man!" Harold said.

I only glanced at the behavior of the women. I can also catch a glimpse of the woman wearing the red dress.

I sent liquor to their table and asked the staff to say my name. She caught my attention, this is the first time after so many years.

When we felt the timing was right, we stood up toapproach their table. Not to take advantage but to protect them. We are not like other men, especially me.

I stood next to the girl in the red dress. I can see the shine in her eyes.

"Hi, I am Sebastian. What is your name?" I asked her.

"Adahlia, Adahlia Grace Johannes," she answered with a smile and we shook hands.

Her hands were so soft. She also smells like lavender. She's even more beautiful up close.

"Wanna dance?" I asked her and held out my hand.

"Oh sure!" she responded happily and accepted my hand.
