The Crazy Stupid Rich

Chapter One: Odd Encounter

UPDATE:
Hi everyone, I've made a few changes.
This book has been a bit of a journey for me and I will be updating chapters as well as adding some more in soon. I was really young when I started this book so it is pretty rusty. Reading some chapters I cringe real hard like....why did I write that 😂. Anyways progress is starting to happen. I suggest you re-read the chapters once I update them all as some characters are added and changed.

Much love
Nova xx

Rose's POV (point of view)

I sat on the hard marble chair with the spring breeze flowing through my golden-brown hair, waiting just waiting for something to happen. Something that would make me want to live my life without regretting the past because I was to busy looking forward to the future. My thoughts ended when a sugar cane truck drove past and stopped, a young man who looked strangely familiar climbed out of the vehicle. He looked as he was my age but then again he looked 23 not 19.

"Oh for FUCK sake"

His voice was very deep and masculine. His dusty brown hair flowed in the wind.

Ha ha, he must be new to the job. As I was laughing his eyes met mine. I froze, then he started to approach me. I really didn't know what to do. I wanted to run away because I was still in my pink and blue pj's from the morning but the sun was now setting, I was frozen and entrapped in his dark blue eyes.

"Hello, I'm Jase, I work with the um...harvesting company...would you have any oil on you? My truck seems to have run out"

"...um h-hello, just secon. Wait one sec-second"

Well that went well...

I quickly ran to the shed to find the oil where my grandpa left it on the tool table, but it wasn't there. I herd heavy footsteps approach the shed and turned around to see Jase standing at the entry of the shed, leaning on the door with his muscular arms crossed.

"Want a hand Rose?" He sounded quite happy, but he had a hint of sadness when he spoke. But how did he know me?

"How do you know my name?"

"Oh that's right you probably don't remember me. I used to come down here when I was little with my dad to help out your grandpa and dad fixing his car, we used to swim in the pool all the time while we waited"

I honestly don't remember him but he did seem familiar but I didn't want to make him upset do I went along with it.

"Oh yer I remember now. The good old days ha ha ahhh"
I kept my head down every time he looked at me. I continued to look for the oil and turned to see it on top of the car.

"Found it" there was only a little bit of oil left but enough for the truck so I just told him to keep it.

"Thanks, tell your gamps and your dad I said hi. See ya around" my dad? Doesn't he know?

And at that he walked back to his truck, fixed the oil and left. I quickly ran inside and called out to my grandpa.

"Grandpa, did you know someone called Chase or Jase?"

"Yes I did actually, but his name was Jase not Chase, the two of you used to hang out a lot when you were young but he was four years older then you. His dad helped me and your father build cars. Why?"

"Um I just met him outside. He is harvesting Mr. Lances cane field. I don't really remember him though. How come I've never seen him? There is only ten guys working in the company. Is he new or something?"

"Ummm....Ha Ha ehhh. I don't know how I should put this."

"Put what...?"

"I can't tell you right now, you're not the...that was...never mind."

"Why can't you tell me? I'm a grown woman!?" Frustration laced my voice as yet again I'm treated as a child still.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't my choice. I was supposed to tell you this but you lost a fraction of your memory in the car accident and then the life support machines cut out on your dad but I just couldn't tell you. Your dad wouldn't of wanted me to tell you yet." Gramps started to make me nervous and upset. I hated when we kept secrets from each other.

"Tell me what? What...what is it?"

"I CANT TELL YOU RIGHT NOW OKAY!"

I was shocked when gramps raised his voice, he never raised his voice at me. I felt my eyes sting and all I wanted to do was run and cry but instead I acknowledged his choice and waited until he could tell me.

"Ok, I understand. Would you like a cup of tea? You must be tiered."

"No thank you, I'm heading off to bed now. Don't stay up too late. Goodnight." Gramps kissed me on the forehead and slowly walked down the hallway to his room.
I went to my bedroom and turned on the light switch and opened my cupboard to get out my cleaner pjs. I walked downstairs to the bathroom to see a car outside with a familiar figure next to it. I grabbed the cricket bat from behind the door and walked outside towards the car.

"Hello Rose."

"Jasper? What the hell are you doing here at this hour? It's almost 10:30pm!"

His brown eyes stood out easily in the dark and it was sort of scary yet beautiful. Why are all my friends so damn good looking!?

"I'll explain later! Get in the car now!"

The tone of his voice started to make me worried and he looked as if he wanted to beat someone so I tried to calm myself down first but my rushed tired mind wasn't helping.

"What's the matter? You're scaring me!"

Scared was an understatement, I was horrified! Thoughts were running through my head, had something happened to our friends, or family...or his poor puppy!?

Seeing the worried look on my face, Jasper grasped both of my shoulders in his strong hands shaking me to death.

"Oh my god Rose, chill out. You take everything too seriously."

I narrowed my eyes at him and let out a sigh of relief accompanied by an annoyed huff. I was about to ask him why the fuck did he have to scare the shit out of me when he answered the question by just looking at the expression of my face

"Relax Rose, I just want to take you out to dinner cause I'm bored and I wanted to see my best friend...and mum kicked me out for the night so can I stay at yours."

I took one hard look at the sad and pitiful puppy eyes he was making and then slapped him in the face. I walked to the passenger side of the car and looked to see a shocked but not surprised Jasper looking at me.

"Okay yeah I deserved that...So Hungry Jacks?"

"Hell yeah!"
