" Bebe...I an, Sami-" He blocked her mouth hastily with his hands. He smiled and said," You can call whatever you want. There is no reason to change it."
She nodded blushing heavily and spoke ekily, " Bebe."
" Good." He patted her head lovingly making her purr like a cat.
" Here we are, have you learn driving yet?" The door opened as they entered a large storage facility behind the mansion.
Helga shook her head sideways before her eyes widened seeing the array of shinning cars. From vintage to so fancy sportscars, she had never seen so many cars in one place.
" I-i never knew this existed. Everything here yours?"
" You don't have to look that suprise. I know few peoples here that were eager to nd so of their past mistakes. Beside, I am not really into collecting cars."
" They seem expensive."
" Have a look around? See which one you want to ride in tonight." Seeing her extra careful with her steps did intrigued him.
Alana and Roberta might know the extent of his family's wealth but he could see it in Katarina and Helga's eyes that they were still very cluess about it even when they saw the mansion.
He was never one to flaunt his wealth openly but it definitely gave Helga a new sense of reality who she was ssing with for past few days. Being from a small town, she never really thought much about money as they were mostly self sufficient.
With no cellphones, what she would hear was in passing. It was only after she fled with Katarina that she realised the world was so big. Those glamorous magazines and tv broadcasts were just for show.
She started walking around looking at each vehicle but she didn't dare to touch any ot it. Samuel laughed again leading her around in his arms opening doors and letting her sit inside of it.
He didn't want her to think he cared more about these material things than her, she would be amazed and even give her exciting smiles as he explained few details about each one of them.
But it was his ti to get surprised when her eyes fixed upon a modified small car. She voluntarily touched the hood of the car and gave a reminiscing look seeing it here.
" The modified Lada?" He too was surprised to see such a car here. He wasn't really aware of the precedings as Lucie was incharge of everything.
" I rember my grandfather had this exact car. It wasn't this shiny and there were definitely not these things on the front but I clearly rember this unique shape."
" Shall we take this one then?" He asked with a smile.
" Will it be fine?" She hesitated because she was worried that ot would be too normal for his liking. She didn't know much about wealthy people but from what she had seen, they usually had massive ego and self esteem. Wouldn't he feel shaless driving in such a car when there was dozens of better options sitting in his garage?
" Of course. It might be an inconvenience but I always have to hide my identity in public so I hope you don't feel-" It was her turn to block him from saying unnecessary things.
Their silly gestures toward one another made them chuckled before she made him realise that she understood his predicant.
With already wasted half an hour in the garage, he urged her to sit down or they would be late for dinner. He had to admit, because of both of their height, it was very cramped inside from what they expected.
He waited for her to settle down before flooring the pedal almost making the little Lada fly!
Helga gasped feeling the imse power contained inside the small beast. It roared loudly before they waltz outside the garage heading straight to the exit.
" I am scared" Helga exclaid but he only laughed before slowing it down but still maintaining so speed.
" You didn't expect it right? There will be many more surprises tonight so you should strap yourself for it!"
Soon, she started giggling enjoying the thrill. The empty darks roads were a normal occurance as this was the only road leading to his property.
They started chatting about all sort of stuff while he drove at a steady pace. As they reached the highway, instead of going toward the city he turned the car into the opposite direction.

With fast chasing light, they rushed toward their destination avoiding the traffic as he weaved through them skillfully.
Helga was worried at first but seeing his calm expression she decided to trust him. Beside, it wasn't that fast as he maintained the speeding limit.
He was having a blast driving this small car as it was a first for him to experience a true sleeper vehicle. Other drivers would look at his driving with shock as most people were aware of old Lada brand.
Being a cheap alternative for middle class, the car was built for stability and roughness. Why would anyone throw money at such a piece of crap just to paruse it around the road for fun?
Samuel and Helga were too busy enjoying the drive to notice anything. Helga would look outside atnlush greenary which was slowly getting replaced by smal building which ant they were approaching a town.
He covered the fourty kilotres distance in about half an hour, driving through so conjested narrow roads, he seed to be looking for sothing.
By now, Helga's focus was solely on the old architectures and even so ruins in the distance. With dark enveloping the sky, the small town was illuminated by lights.
Even the road light seed old, he kept driving exiting the central town area and made his way toward more sparsely populated area.
The number of pedestrian began to deplet that's when Helga felt the car stop. She looked around then glanced at his face like he was telling her that they had arrived? Would there be a restaurant at this place?
