Truth Hurts
Part 8

He smiled after our quick kiss and led me outside.
His car was parked right on the driveway.
"You don't need to-" I began.
"Shh. I don't need to, but I want to. I'll give you a ride." he responded.
I smiled slightly and got inside on the passenger seat.
He quickly started the car and backed out of the driveway.
We were headed to the office.
I felt tears well up inside me, so I looked out the window.
He looked at me in a sideways glance.
"Are you okay?" was his simple question.
I bit my lip, wanting to answer, but I couldn't trust my voice.
He was silent then, probably thinking about something.
In a few minutes, we arrived at the place.
The building was huge, towering about 60 floors.
To say it was high-classed was putting it mildly.
Christopher grabbed my hand and led me inside.
The receptionist was busy with some papers.
We walked up to her.
"May I help you?" she said, looking up, smiling.
"I came to see Mr. Richard." I responded in a tiny voice.
"Ah, yes Miss Selis. I heard about your mother. I'm terribly sorry." she said sympathetically.
I merely nodded.
"He's already waiting. Do you know where the room is?" she asked, getting up.
"Yes, I do. We'll be fine, thank you." I said, heading toward the elevator.
She smiled and went back to her paperwork.
We got inside the elevator and I hit the sixtieth button.
Christopher raised his eyebrows.
"Very high-classed." he murmured.
"Yeah." was my brilliant response.
We waited and finally arrived on the floor.
Stepping quickly out of the elevator, I immediately turned to the right, until we reached the end of the hall.
I took a deep breath and knock lightly.
"Come in." came the husky response.
I pushed the door open and stepped inside, looking at Mr. Richard.
He stood up.
Mr. Richard was a man of 6'4. He had brown hair, brown eyes, and a strong handshake.
"Come in, sit down. I am Mr. Richard. I presume you are Miss Lisa's boyfriend?" he said.
"What!? No, we're just- It's not like that- We are just-." we stuttered at the same time.
He laughed at our bright red faces.
But his eyes suddenly turned dark.
"Well, I guess we all know why you are here. Your mother left her will. All the money goes directly to you, which amounts to $950,000. Also, all the bills were paid for, including the cars, house, insurance, light, gas, everything. But there is one problem. You are 17 and you need to live with someone 18 and up." he eyed me, taking in my shocked expression.
"So that leaves......" he said, looking down at a list.
"No family." I whispered.
He shook his head.
"She can live with me. I can move in with her." Christopher said, speaking up.
I stared at him with my mouth hanging open.
"Settled." Mr. Richard said.
"But you need to fill out these documents and you'll be all set."
"Fine by me. Here, sign here Lisa." Christopher said calmly.
I was so shocked that I just did as told.
"There. You're all set. Come back to see me if you have any questions."
"Hold on. Just one more question. How did we get all this money?"
Christopher smiled when I said we, thinking that we were one already.
"Your mom had $500,000 stored away and your grandmother had $450,000 that she gave to her mom. Aside from all the money left, there is the bills that were already paid. Any more questions? Oh, and one more surprise." Mr. Richard said, smiling.
"What else possibly could be a surprise?" I asked, shocked that there was more.
"Both of your college school fees have been paid. Everything. Not a single dime will come out of your pockets."
Now Christopher and I dropped our mouths, in total shock.
"What!?" we said at the same time.
"Exactly how you heard. The college is the University of California."
"Oh dear lord!!! Are you serious!?" I nearly shouted.
"Every bit serious. And that's all." he said.
I stood up, legs a bit wobbly.
"Thank you." I said, shaking hands.
"Anytime." Mr. Richard said, flashing a smile at me. "Good luck."
I smiled and Christopher led me out.
We didn't speak until we reached the car.
"Holy shiz.." His eyes were huge.
"I know. It's all to much.." I responded, eyes also wide.
"And you're living with me." he said, which put a wide smile on his face.
We drove to my, well I guess our, house now.
It was quiet.
We finally arrived and I unlocked the door.
Quickly, we went inside, but Christopher grabbed my arm and leaned in to kiss me....

I'll keep it the way it used to be :P 5❤ for part Nine :) And I promised a long Part Eight, and I don't break my promises :)
