Not So Much Of a Plan

"I am really sorry Miss Perez but she has stage 4 leukemia" I stared at the doctor wondering if she was talking to some else because I was sure she was not talking about Sophie.

"Mam are you still with me, I know this might come as a shock to you......."

"Are you sure you holding the lab report of Sophie, you might have gotten the test mixed up" I collected the paper from her and saw the name Sofia Perez boldly writing at the top

"But how is this possible I should have been able to see the sign, this is the fourth stage Fuck" I bursted out in anger

"The way our bodies react varies, Some people they will have started showing the symptoms from the beginning but her hormones are very strong they tried to suppress it that was why we are just...." The doctor was literally blabbing to me as I kept thinking how the hell she has cancer. It can't be, Sophie is the strongest girl I know.

"ehmmmmm how bad is it" I asked stopping her from the usual doctor's bad new speech which I have to say is a load of crap

"It is not that bad................"

"Please can you spare me all of that and just tell me the honest truth, I don't have time for buttetcoated words" I said too stressed out to be toyed with

"If you insist it is actual very bad, I have to say she is one strong girl to have been able to hide it till now. But she needs to go under therapy real quick because this is a very crucial stage" she handed the files to a nurse as we walked back to Sophie's room

"How many months quick?" I asked

"If you want her to have a smooth therapy I advise she started next week" She said

"Wow isn't that too soon How much is each therapy session"

"Not at all

If she starts her chemo early she will finish early In fact I strongly advise you not to allow this month to end before she starts and the whole therapy will cost around $98000 but I'm not really sure about the price it keeps fluctuating but you can ask the receptionist on you way out"

Wow hold one I know I asked for the honest truth but could she not have at least waited till we got to her office to say the cost ,so much for been blunt

"Fuck that is almost 100 grands" I looked at her through the transparent door, she looked really pale

"I know this is a lot to take in but she need to start her chemo early and in here we allow half payment policy, We can start with that" she went in to check on her.

"All her vitals are stable she can leave today but don't forgot what I said Miss Perez. The nurse will get back to you real quick" she adjusted her drip and left the room.

Where the hell am I going to get 100grands in less than 2 weeks I thought as my phone rang "Hey bitch are you forgetting something"

"Xian?"

"Yeah you are right it is Xian your GGBF who you promised lunch with this morning I went over to your office and Lisa told me that you ran off about like 2 hours ago and you know how much I hate talking to that girl she just kept hitting on me Where the fuck are you?

Don't I mean........."

Xain ranted into my ears, I didn't even realize I had spent that much time in the hospital and when the hell will she let him off her hook.

Lisa she is the secretary at my place of work. "Eh you dicklover..........." I snapped cutting him of

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

I saw some mother covering their children's ear "Fuck thanks a lot asshole if glare could kill I'm sure I would have been dead by now"

"Eh what did I do I'm just an innocent guy who is about to miss his lunch break and seriously where the hell are you?"

"I'm at the hospital..."

"So you finally decided to do that blood donation shit you were talking about"

"No idiot you know I have a phobia for needles I came....."

"Yeah keep telling yourself"

"Argh would you at least allow me to finish what I'm saying fuck what type of dumbass are you Sophie is in the hospital she has leukemia" gosh that idiot just know how to piss someone off

"Can you stop shouting I can hardly..............

Wait did you just say Sophie is in the hospital. Oh my dick am on my way" Good for him I was trying to break down the news to him in a more gentle way but he just had to piss me off.

"I hope he gets here in one piece though I know how much he loves Sophie. He even calls her his twin" I was at the edge of both laughing and crying as I thought of how I was going to get that much money.

I will try asking for an advance payment from my boss and if that doesn't work I will try the bank or even the.................

I was in interrupted by the banging of the hospital door and the screaming of a very piss off parent

"Nurse what is the Sofia Perez room number?" "Sir how are you related to the patient" The nurse asked clearly terrified by him

"Hold up did he just say Sofia" I looked closer to the man's face and realized that that was Xian. "This is not going to end well at all" I stood up from my chair and quickly walked up to them.

"Do you think I will bang in here looking so bothered if I wasn't related to her. She is my twin" He said flashing his famous playboy smile. "But sir the patient is just 13 years and you are lot older than her" she confusedly said.

"Are you trying to say that I am old?" He asked looking hurt.

"No sir you are not at old I mean..........."

"Xain can you stop creating an unnecessary scene. He is with me, I will take it from here" I dragged him by his ear from the nurse's table whose face was as red as a tomato.

"Ah Ah can you stop pulling my ear it hurts" he whined.

"Can you stop acting like a kid God I already have one sick kid in my hands I don't have the strength for another" we both sat down and all the tears i had been holding up suddenly started falling out.

"Xian I don't know what to do" I sobbed on him as he hugged me.

"Don't worry everything will be fine" Xain comforted me as we both embraced in silence.

3 Weeks Later

"Xian drop that damn phone and listen to me this is going to work" I angrily said after talking to him for close to 20mins without getting any reply

"V you know I love you like blood and even Sophie but this complete bullshit" he said finally dropped his phone down

"It is not, There is a 98% chance of success" I said

"This is not one of your games V We are talking about you giving out your virginity to that egolistic playboy, I know how much you wanted your first time to be with someone special" he said with concern

"Then why don't you be my first then, You are very special to me" I mockingly asked him just to see his reaction We have been through this road more than once, Xian was my first kiss and when my first boyfriend in highschool broke up with me for not having sex with him and some other girls was offering it to him. We tried it back then that was before Xian even found out about his sexuality we couldn't even make it out of stage one

"Hell no I still get goosebumps when I think of those days it was so awkward and weird" he said doing the thing he does when he gets really irritated with his nose where it keeps going up and down like that of a dog.

"I was just messing with you, jeesh you are too easy to fool" I laughed at his annoyed face. "Yeah right why don't we all make fun of the only handsome gay guy in the room" he said playing the pity card

"Don't even play the gay guy card on me here it won't work besides i am also the only straight lady in the room" I snapped back at him before he could start his drama again

"Fine mean witch" he stuck out his tongue at me.

"Xian can you please act like the grown up man you are for few minutes. Next week is going to make a month and we are yet to come up with even 20 grand" I dropped down on the couch frustrated and this close to breaking down She needs to start her treatment before the month end, I remember going to meet my boss 2 weeks ago

"Sorry Miss Perez but this company has a policy of given out loan to only worker who has worked 5 years with them" were his exact words and I have only been here for 2 years. I tried pleading but nothing came out of it, I also tried the bank but I shockingly came to the realization that I own nothing valuable for me to drop at the bank for............

"I just came up with a brilliant idea that doesn't involve anyone losing their virginity but come to think of it you are the only virgin here since you know..................... "

"Just get to the idea and stop blabbing rubbish" I cut him off.

"Okay so you know how my parents are super rich and am like the prodigal son who ran away except I was thrown out by my father.............."

"I don't think I like where this is leading to" I know how much Xian hates his father for that "Stop interrupting me old lady would you?

Okay so you know how he as been trying to reconcile with me for the past few years now but I never reached out back because he is totally asshole, if I go to them and forgive him I sure 100 grand is no biggie for them so what do say about a big family reunion " he said smiling too much for it to the real. I tackled him down and hugged him

"Have I ever told you how much I love you

You brainless dick but you are not going back to that monster not even for Sophie" I held him tightly and tears dropped down from my face. "But................... "

"No but Xian and that is final" I cried harder when I remembered what he went through in the hands of that monster when we were growing up. Those night of a broken Xian coming to my room late in the night when he couldn't take the torment anymore.

"Okay no family reunion please just stop crying you know how contagious it can be and I spent too much hours in the mirror this morning just to look this gorgeous" he said wiping his dry face with his hands.

"Better, no family reunion and we are now back to square one so any more brilliant idea Xian" I mocked him making emphasis on brilliant idea. "No, ever genius need a break so I am going to take one now" he said picking his phone back up

"Dumb fool" I whispered as I went to get some chocolate cookies from the kitchen with milk "Xian I know you don't believe in the plan but can you at least support me, I really have to find the money even if it just half of it" I said placing the plate on my laps

"V i don't like this plan at all" Xian said for the 99th time today

"Do you think that I also like the plan, I don't in fact I doubt it is going to work at all but do you know how I felt when I got her call from Sophie school that she slumped down in class I felt helpless, my mind just kept playing the worst scenarios of what could have happened to her and I felt like I was letting my parents down I promised them to always protect her now I don't think I will be able to keep that promise so Xian unless you have a miraculous plan on how to get 100grand in a week you better don't try to stop me from trying" I finally exploded, I knew lashing out on Xian was wrong and I felt really bad about it but i needed to let out all my anger

"I am just trying to keep you from hurting yourself, I know how much you love Sophie so even though I don't I like this plan at all I will support you

So what's the plan?" Xain finally said asked me the most important question

"Firstly how to get inside the club (This is where Xain comes in)

Get his attention #Christain Davidson the biggest player in the whole of America#

Get called to his floor

Have sex with him

Collect 100 grand

Save Sophie

Chances of success 98%

Chances of failure 2%"

I said it exactly how I wrote it down

"Wow you really have everything down" Xain collected the paper from me

"Yes I do so let's get down to phase 1 Shall we"

Friday night

After 2 long hours of plucking and trimming Xian was able to perform his magic and a give me a complete makeover

I couldn't even recognize myself as I stared hard into the mirror

"Wow"

I said in shock still trying to take in everything

"I know right Fairy godmother is nowhere next to this amazing magic"

Xain said spinning me around to have a full look of his work

"So are you ready?"

Xain asked me the one question have been trying to avoid all night

"No

Not at all

But this is not about me at all and I have come to accept that"

I said as I wore my black leather boots

"Really"

Xain said looking at my choice of shoe

"Oh hell yeah

This is the one fucking thing I am comfortable with wearing tonight

There is no way I am wearing 4 inch heels to dance for God knows how long

So yeah Xain really" I picked up my purse as I went to round the house to lock up

"Come on let's go" Xain said

"I am coming

I just need to check in with Mrs Barry then I will be done" I said as I picked up my phone to call her

"Who is Barry and hurry up there is a limit to been fashionable late we don't want to miss the golden boy now do we?"

Xain said while getting a bottle a water

"Can you please try to keep up

Sophie is with her friend Maria Barry

Mrs Barry is watching them tonight and yes we can go know" I said as I locked up and dropped my keys into my purse

"Time to party people!!!!"

Xain laughed as we got into our Uber

"I can't believe I'll live to see the day you'll decided to have the night all to yourself

Damn girl I am so proud of you" Xain said as he pulled me in for an hug

"Okay I think that's a enough now

And also remember I am not here to party" I said as our Uber driver drove into Mateo Fantasy "Can you tell me again how you were able to get us into the most elite party in town" I asked as we passed the bouncer and walked into the building

"Let's just say I know somebody that knows somebody that is friends with the manager and besides why are you still surprised you know I know everybody" Xain said as we got to another set of bouncers and Xain showed them our pass "That's true" I said as they opened the door for us and we were immediately hit with the loud music

"Why do people gladly endure this torture" I said as I took in the whole scene in front of me "Because it a way for us to escape the real world" Xain said already looking around for next hot guy to dump me for

"Can we at least get a drink before you ditch me" I said as I dragged him with me to the counter

"Hey beauties What can I get you?"

A very handsome looking bartender asked us clearly focused on Xain

"Can I get a sparkling water......."

"Hold that thought for a second I need to talk some sense into this girl head" Xain interrupted me, turned to the bartender asking him to hold on then finally turned back to me

"So let me get this straight

Your plan is to drink water all night until your prince charming comes to Your rescue" he asked as if me asking for water is that weird

"My answer is Yes and no to both your questions

I would really like to be of full control of my body and head" I said to him and turned my attention back to the bartender

"Not in my watch young lady

And who the hell still talks like that

I would like to be in full control of my body and head" He said mimicking me

"What year do you think we are 80's

Damn I don't even think back then people had that mentality

So you better but on your big girl panties on and get ready for the night of your life bitch" he finally concluded his speech definitely feeling proud of himself and turned to meet his cute bartender

"We are both going to have a shot of vodka

And this not put for discussion young lady" He said to me as the cute but still nameless bartender worked is magic in mixing of the drink "Here to a very naughty night for you two" The bartender said serving us our drink

"Wouldn't you like to join in our ride .........." "Ray"

"Xain"

He said as he gulped down his drink

"And this party pooper besides me is Valera but just call her Vee" he said

"Lovely name for a lovely lady" he took my hands and kissed it

"Thanks I think" I said a bit confused as to why I was been brought into their flirting game

"My shift is going to be over in the next 15mins if you can hang around till then" Ray said to Xain "Only if you promise me a dance and your number after"

"All done

Your next round is going to be on the house" Ray said

"Come on Vee drink up

This party is just getting starting" Xain winked at Ray

"It's not like I have much of a choice here" I gulped down the shot fast and immediately felt a bit of dizziness

"Another round" I said as I dropped down my glass

"Your wish is my command mi'lady" Ray said as he started mixing the drinks again

"So any sight of your prince charming yet" Xain asked as he looked around for him

"No

Not yet and he is not my prince charming

I doubt he is even anyone prince charming.

I can't wait for this night to be over" I said as I gulped down my second shot

"Keep the shot coming Ray I have a long night ahead of me" I said as I tried losing myself to the beat

"Finally cool Vee is the house people" Xain said as Ray dropped us another shot

"My shift is going to the over in the next 30 secs.....................

Okay guys I am free, I just need to sign out then I am also yours" Ray said as he hanged his apron by stand at the door and walked out

"So what do you think" Xain said

"I mean he seems like a nice guy and he knows how to treat a girl right besides aren't you the one that asked me to go with the flow

So just try to enjoy your night and let's see where the night leads" I said as I gulped down another shot

"Damn girl take it easy will you

And you know what

You are right so I am just going to enjoy the night" Xain said checking out Ray now that he wasn't behind the table he could have a full view "Damn!!!!!!

If you don't want him just pass him" immediately i said that I knew the alcohol was already working

"Time to party" Ray screamed dragging us from out comfort zone to the dance fall
