FORTUNES OF HEAVEN
My name is . I used to be in a band called McFLY. You might have heard of them. We were quite big. We became even bigger when we made it in America. Over night, everyone knew who I was. When McFLY came to an end, we all got loads of money. We had done movies and several records that sold millions upon millions. I didn’t quit music when we ended. I went solo. I now got more money that I ever thought was possible!
I now got the fortunes of heaven in diamonds and gold. I’m pretty sure that I have the biggest box in the bank. I have a huge Mansion which I live in, that has even been given my name. I love it. There are metres and metres of strawberry fields all the way around it. There’s a lake there too. I have so much space to take care of that I have five men to keep it all together. Besides of the Mansion, I have a house in Spain, one in Italy, one in Greece and of course several cabins all around the world. I love to travel, you see.
I have everything I could ever have wished for. Wherever I go I meet gorgeous women that are willing to do whatever I tell them to do. People say that it has gone to my head, but I know that they just envy me. I mean, the first thing I did after getting a hold of all that money was to buy my sister and mum the house of their dreams. I bought them cars, pearls and you name it. I’m good with money. Now I can afford everything I want, and I live every day to the fullest.
I’m good looking, no doubt about that. I don’t care if people like me for the money. Everybody wants to be my friend, and loads of girls come to my door every day, in hope to get me to bed or getting a date with me. I have never experienced not getting the girl I want, and what more could a guy want?
It was a hot summer day in July. I was walking down the streets, looking for something to buy for my latest crush. People stopped and stared at me on the streets. I had started disliking it, when it never seemed to come to an end. I had lived here in my mansion for four years, and every time the very same people saw me, they looked like they had never seen the real life version of me. Anyway, that’s when I saw her. I knew from the very first glance I got of her that she was the one for me, yes, the ONE! I had to get to talk to her. I thought it wouldn’t be hard, being me and all, but she was obviously trying to prove me wrong. It was the start of something I never thought would happen.
“Please, . Won’t you do me the honour of being my date to the award show?” I pleaded. She was sat on a bench in the park, reading a book of an author I had never heard of. ‘ ’, I read. I must remember it, I thought, as it could be useful. “No, , I’m not interested” she replied, sounding rather annoyed. “You know you can’t resist me” I tried. She didn’t even look at me. She just shut her book closed, sighed and said coldly; “Don’t flatter yourself”. She was colder than ice. I wondered if it was possible to melt her icy blue heart.
A couple of days later, got some flowers that had sent her. She sighed and threw them in the trash can. She hated . He was the most selfish and self-centred guy she had ever seen or met. He made her sick, and she wished he had never fallen for her. She didn’t even know if he was being honest. For all she know she could just be a challenge for him. She stared at the flowers in the bin. She had been given loads of gifts from , and she had never kept any of them for herself. knew it, which made her wonder why he didn’t stop.
His newest single became a number one hit. It was written about . She didn’t care. It didn’t impress her one bit. After she stated so to , he sent her all the special editions of albums and singles from her favourite band, and books from her favourite authors. gave it all away to charity, which made mad. “Why are you giving away all those expensive stuff I have busted my ass off to get for you?” he wanted to know one day. “Because you can’t buy me or my love, . And not to mention my respect, because I have none for you, and the faster you realise that and let me go, the faster you can move on and continue what you like the best; playing women’s gift from God.” snorted and hopped into his newest car, a plain white, perfect Cadillac, ’s favourite car. “What do I have to do?” he asked her as he got in. “You won’t make me softer with that fancy car of yours, . I can tell you now that all your tricks won’t get you far. I’m not like the others, . They may be crazy, but I’ll never be your girl. Good day.” drove away, determined to get her, one way or the other.
The very same weekend, was out on the town along with some friends. They went to their favourite pub, and on the outside she met . “I can get you and your friends in to that club over there?” He pointed on the most exclusive club in town. You had to be a celebrity or have a lot of money to get into it. ’s friends shrieked. “Let’s go, , pleeease!” shook her head. “No way, ” she said, turning her back to him. “Does she always have to ruin everything for herself?” one of her friends said, disappointed that she didn’t let do this one thing for her. She saw him later that night as well. It had to have been boring at that fancy club of his, because he came to the pub where she was. He was making out with two different girls that night, noticed. After finishing with the last girl, he came over and wanted to buy her a drink. “You know it’s not worth trying, so why do you continue?” she asked him. For the first time she looked straight into his eyes. She saw something in them that she had never noticed before. She saw the real , for the first time. That’s when she realised that she loved him too. “Because I love you” he replied. She saw that he meant every word. She got up and kissed him lightly on the lips. She pulled away from him and looked at him. He smiled, like he had been waiting for this to happen for a long time. She turned away and said: “So long, see you honey”. She walked away. He ran after her and turned her around. “What did that kiss mean?” he asked. “You can’t buy me with your money”.
