《Hidden Riches》Chapter 9
Advertisement
I was looking through the newspaper for a job. Getting money from Logan was nice but I still wanted my own money. I miss my job at the daycare.
"Bunny, I have plenty of money for the both of us. You don't need a job." Logan said, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"But I want one. I don't want to sit here and do nothing all day, Logan. It's boring."
"Spending time with me is boring?" He said, taking a sip from his coffee.
I could hear the crickets again.
"No, I never said that. I hate waiting for you to get back after practice. If I get job, you'll be here when I get back."
"So I'll have to wait for you?" He raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound like fun, Bunny."
"I know, but still."
"I don't like to wait, Bunny."
"Well, you'll have to."
He loudly sighed. "Bunny, no. It's not safe for a girl like you to be outside at night by yourself. Even if it was for a job."
"Come on, Logan. I'll be fine. Why do you always worry?"
"Because you're my Bunny and I don't want anyone trying to kidnap you."
"That won't happen...and stop calling me that. I don't like it."
"You don't like my nickname for you, Bunny?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because it's weird."
"Then, I guess I'll call you your name. Charlotte."
"It's Hannah." I rolled my eyes. Did he really forget my.real name?
"Hannah." He corrected himself. "Yes, Hannah. That's your name."
"Did you forget my real name, Logan?"
"No.... I just needed to be reminded of it." He gave me one of his charming smiles to hide the fact that he did forget. "I prefer to call you Bunny. I don't call you by your real name much."

"If you say so,"
"I won't forget it from now on." He stretched and his shirt lifted a little and I could see his abs. I couldn't help but stare. His body was so perfect. I had grown to love those black shirts of his. They huge his muscles so well. It was a masterpiece.
"Bunny, it's not very kind to stare." He winked at me with a big smile on his face.
"Sorry," I looked away. "It looks good on you."
"What does?"
"That shirt." Well, he looked good in everything. That was one of the struggles of living here. Seeing a sexy guy every morning and night. Even if he was a pervert.
"I can say the same to you. Those shorts are driving my crazy."
I looked down. I was in my pink short shorts. I had a feeling he'd comment on them. I quickly closed my legs. "Really?"
"Yes. You should wear them more often. You look absolutely ravishing in them."
Ravishing? They're just shorts. Do they look that good on me?
"You should take them off," he licked his lips.
"What?! No!"
"Joking Bunny. I'll take them off myself sooner or later."
He took a drink from his coffee again. "Although I enjoy you flirting with me, we have to discuss something important. I would like to meet your family soon."
My heart skipped a beat. "My family?"
"Yes, your family."
My family... I haven't seen my family in 3 years. Ever since I went away for college, I never had time to contact them. I have all the time in the world now so I guess I could call them.
The last time to spoke to them was when I told my Mom I had a crush on Peyton. He had already lived in Chicago when we started to call each other. My friend Emma told me about him. We just ended up going to the same college before I dropped out of course. My parents didn't know that I met up with Peyton in college, they didn't know I dropped out, or that I'm living with Logan right now.

I have a lot to tell them. Especially my mother. She'll be furious. Dad would want to murder Peyton. I... wouldn't stop him.
"Why do you wanna meet them, Logan?" I asked.
"Because I'd like to know more about you, Bunny."
"Then, can I meet your parents?"
"My parents live in Canada." He said with a frown.
"Oh." How come they live so far away from each other?
I wanted to meet the Python parents. Those rich bastards. I wondered if they would be stuck up like most of the billionaires around the world. Besides, by the look on Logan's face, he doesn't seem to like them.
"I guess you can meet my parents," I said. "But I haven't talked to my family in 3 years."
"Really? Why is that?"
"Because I moved away for college."
"You haven't kept in contact with them at all?"
"No... I don't."
He rested his chin on his folded hands. "Hmm,"
He was so adorable like that. He was staring up into space, humming. His blue eyes were bright and his perfect lips were slightly parted. He began to rub his chin. "Maybe... you could call them."
"Well yeah."
"Hm?"
"I'll call them."
"Would you really?! Oh Bunny, I'm so excited!" He said, getting close to my face. His blue eyes lit up with excitement. "I can't wait to meet them!"
Hopefully he likes my parents. They can be a bit weird and judgmental, but I didn't wanna ruin his excitement.
"On one condition." I said out of nowhere.
"What?"
"On one condition, I'll call them."
"Of course, I'll do anything. What do you want?" He quickly sat down in front of me.
I thought. What did I want? Hmm.
"Your shirt. I like it." I said with a smile.
"My shirt?" He looked down at it. "That's all?"
"Yeah. I don't really want anything else."
Well... that I could think of.
He pulled his shirt over his head and threw it into my lap. I almost drooled at his body. His abs glistened in the light coming from the lamp. His chest was so big. I bet if I punched it, my hand would break. "Is that really all you want?"
"Mhm." I pulled it over my head. "Thank you, Logan."
"Bunny?"
"Hm?"
"I like the name Bunny. I'm calling you that from now on regardless if you like it or not."

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
