Humphrey's POV
I awoke early in the morning groaning. I stepped out of my bed and walked to the ensuite bathroom and turned on the beautifully modern tap, splashing water in my face to wash away the sleep from my face. I walked over to my dresser, put on a singlet and a pair of jeans. I opened the door to my room and walked out into the hallway making my way towards and eventually crossing the landing. I soon entered the gym. This is a large room but only two people use it. It was very early in the morning. Nobody was awake except for Terence, who always some how gets up earlier than me, always. Seriously, we had a competition that I didn't tell him about and he still got up earlier than me. He sounds like he was making a large breakfast, probably for everyone. I don't remember a time where I actually slept in, I don't think I ever have. I went to the weight bench and started to life the weight. For several minutes I lifted it in complete silence except of the occasional grunt I would make. This was a heavy weight because I am very strong, not to pat myself on the back.
Several minutes later I thought I heard something coming form the door way, it sounded similar to a 'wow' emanating from a beautiful voice. I shifted my head slightly and moved my eye to glance at the door. Kate stood there in awe. I was wondering at what, that's when I realised I was wearing a singlet so my muscles were showing, bulging out due to the weight I was lifting. I decided to surprise her.
Looking back up I said "Mornin' Kate" She jumped startled, possibly a little embarrassed that I caught her red handed, staring at my body. I don't know why, I think I'm not that good looking, she probably only likes my muscles.
"Oh...uh...hello" she replied in a soft embarrassed voice.
That's when I realised it 'Oh shit, I look like Humphrey I didn't do my hair this morning she'll recognize me!' I thought. I looked around not showing my head and face to Kate. Coincidentally I saw a beanie near by, within arms reach.
"Hey Kate." I said
"Yeah?" She asked
"Do you mind if you grab my deodorant. It's by the treadmill" I asked
"Sure" she cheerfully replied and almost skipped over to the treadmill. I took this little time to put the weight back and grab the beanie, even faster when putting it on. I sat up just to see Kate walk up with my deodorant. I got up and sprayed it on.
"How can I help you Kate?" I asked as she was once again gawking at my muscles.
She shock her head, removing her trance like state from her face and quickly replaced it with a look of anger.
"I want you to tell the truth" She started and tried to get up into my face but I'm like a foot taller than her. "I know your trying to hide your true identity"
"Oh really" I said mockingly. She looked at me shocked, both from my reaction and the fact she wasn't able to intimidate me. That would have been hard for her considering she's shorter and smaller than me, even Garth's shorter and smaller than me. Just to my luck Melissa walked in sharing the same angry face that both the girls now wore.
"Kate told me that she suspects this, and now that I think about it I see she's right" Melissa scowled towards me. 'Jesus woman can be so angry when they want to be' I thought.
"On really" I repeated just as mockingly, both of them were growing more angry at me, "Prove it" I said with a huge grin on my face. Kate grew more angry and stormed out. Melissa and I watched in confusion as she literally stomped from the room. Melissa shot me a soul piercing look of anger and followed Kate, less stomp involved. I shuttered at the thought that I was not going to hear the end of this.
I softly walked into my bedroom, changed in to a nice suit and spent several minutes choosing a tie. I settled on a black tie in the end. I heard voices coming form down stairs. I walked down the rough, glazed, glass stairs. And entered the dining room, where I believed the source of the voices were coming from. As I stepped in I saw everyone was awake and they were eating bacon and eggs to which Terence prepared. Although there was none set for me. Terence walked in holding a briefcase.
"Morning sir. Are you ready?" He asked placing the briefcase on the table next to me and opening it.
"Yes, thank you Terence" I finally finished the tie and looked into the briefcase. It contained a stack of papers, my passport, four stacks of money about five centimetres thick completely comprising of one hundred dollar notes, seeing that made me think 'Why?' I saw Kate close by, I'll have to watch the case. Contradicting my train of thought I turned to Terence.
"Thank you Terence. Is that all the paper work. Surely it would all be digital by now?" I said.
"You'd think" Terence replied. I heard something shuffle in the case. With out even looking a moved my hand and slapped the anomaly.
"Nice try Kate" I said with a snicker. I heard something like a damn escape her mumbling mouth. I closed the briefcase and picked it up.
"Why am I doing this I'm only seventeen?" I projected towards Terence as he walked away.
"Because!" He shouted leaving the room.
"Where are you going?" One of Kate's friends asked
"Down to Idaho to check one of my hydro-electric dam's efficiency" I nonchalantly said. All there jaws dropped.
"You own a dam?" Garth asked clearly shocked.
"I own seven of them, as well as three solar farms, a Weapons company and five car dealerships" I said with a grin.
"How do you own all that?" Melissa questioned
"I inherited it from my father and mother when they died." I answered
Kate was about to add input to the conversation but Terence called from the kitchen. "What car are you taking"
"The Lambo" I shouted.
"Which one" He yelled back
"The Veneno" I replied just as loud as previous. Terence walked in with the keys for my Lamborghini Veneno. I took the from his had and thanked him, turning to the small crowd that inhabited my dining, all with looks of shock on there face.
"How many Lamborghini's do you have?" Garth's friend, Hutch I think it was asked
"Four. Now I would like to say that I am leaving for today and Sunday tomorrow" I began. Now Kate there is a small crew of people coming in today to install a new door, they will put a door in like the one I have, Titanium. Everything is paid for so don't worry. Just let them do it. Now please you can all stay till twelve but after I would like you to leave. No with that settled I have to go." I walked up to a door and opened it. Revealing the garage. Causing everyone to gasp at the variety of cars now in view. I saw Kate staring at one in particular, my 2015 Black Chevy Camaro. 'Oh shit she recognizes it!' I screamed in my head. I had to play it off. "Goodbye everyone!" Everyone broke from there trance except Kate and waved at me, voicing there farewells. I stepped into the garage closing the door behind me.
I got into my Veneno, turned the key opened the garage door and speed out. I looked at the dining room window and saw the group gawking at the car as I drove past. I left the estate and drove towards the Canadian border. Still several hours of my trip to endure.
BAM! Skip till when Humphrey's driving HOME! BAM!
Sorry didn't think you would want to hear about his business.
No ones POV
I car sped down a quiet Canadian valley road. It was late at night, no moon this night, cause the valley to be shrouded in total darkness.
Humphrey's POV
I was almost in Harmony with the one note hum of the V12 engine. Its a real fuel guzzler. I was speeding yes, but this road is quiet and is basically straight with shallow turns here and there.
I was really needing to get home. I have the last day of school tomorrow.
I drove for several more minutes before a see lights up ahead. "Finally" I said relieved, looking at my gas meter basically on empty. I pulled into a small remote gas station. I stepped out fulled my car and walked into the store.
"Evening George" I said walking up to the counter pulling out two hundred dollars from my wallet
"Evening Humphrey, coming back from the business trip I see" He gleefully said with a huge smile.
"Yep, here you go" I said passing the money over. "Keep the change, I surely don't need it."
"Alright" He said putting all two hundred dollars into. "In a rush are we?"
"Yeah need to get sleep, got school tomorrow" I replied
"well don't want to miss school do ya'. See ya!" he said just as gleefully as when I arrived. He put on a smile but I wasn't sure if he was faking it or not. I know George is a lonely guy. He lost his wife and kid in a car crash 3 years ago.
"Yeah, see you" a said as I hopped back into the car a drove out. Closing in on Jasper
I pulled into the estate frowning at the state of my still destroyed gate. I drove up the long driveway to my garage and packed he Veneno pack into its dedicated spot. Before stumbling back into my bedroom and collapsing on the bed.
