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 VWe 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 reactionWe 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 downShe 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 of."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 classI 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 downI 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 explodedI 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 youSo 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 # Santo De Luca the biggest player in the whole of America#Get called to his floorHave sex with himCollect 100 grandSave SophieChances 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 1Shall we"“I got bored…………”“You got bored?”I said, completely confused.“Mrs. Young left to go sort out our tour and there I was standing all by myself. Then I saw you had managed to get rid of your chauffeur, so I decided to come get you myself”.He said with a proud smile on“You got bored…..”I said as relief washed all over my face and I suddenly felt a lot lighter.“YesI just said thatSo is everything good?”.He asked“Yes…..”I said, wondering what he was talking about.“I mean at home.”He explained further, seeing my confusion.“Oh yeahEverything is good.Xain was just checking in”.I said vaguely, adjusting my purse to avoid eye contact with him.“OkayNow that we have that sorted out on to the next thing on our agendaCome on we have a lot of cover and little time to do so” .He said with a huge smile on his face.“I hear you, but I doubt Mrs. Young is done setting up, seeing as this is a last minute arrangement that you basically tricked her into doing.”I said”You say tricked
De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Lu…..“DarlingAre you fine?You look really pale?Here is a glass of water.”Still in shock, I slowly collected the glass from him, nodding as I gulped it all down in one take, trying to get my brain to function, so I could sort it all out, but I guess I had finally broken my brain because I kept on hearing only De Luca like a mix player on loop.“AnytimeYou did not disappoint at all Mrs. Young as expected, and I had a really lovely time this evening.”“It is always a pleasure to have you around, Mr. De LucaWe hope you had a wonderful time, Ms. GomezWe will have the note added to the item and drop it by your driver.Let me leave you two alone.Enjoy the rest of the evening”She said with a polite smile and walked off.“I couldn’t have done any of these without your help.Thanks a lot………..”I knew he was talking to me and I had to reply, but I couldn’t.My head was still spinning and my brain just froze.“He
Well played Darling You are a fast learner............." He said smiling back at me which sent shiver down my spine for some reason but I just shrugged it off. This was my time not his and I wasn't going to let a stupid smirk get to me"I had a not so terrible teacher" I said returning the smirking back to him"And soon the student becomes the maste........" He said and we both laughed out loud when I got another idea, looking at him with a innocent face I asked him"Wouldn't it be nice for you to slip a little note before they wrap the painting up........You know to add a personal touch to it?" "That is not a bad idea at allI just need a little piece of paper" He said them signalled to the server by our left "Sir.........." The server a blonde lanky kid said moving to our table "Can you get me small piece of paper and a pen?" my date asked "Yes sir.........""And also tell your manager to hold on on wrapping my item for the night I want to add a little note to itFrom table 2

"Item 10............The Hollow" He said with his gaze still on the pamphlet as he read it out loud"Yes, so what do yoi think?" I asked hesitatedly a bit nervous hoping he would like it "Elle Gray..........This name sounds vaguely familiarI feel like I have heard it somewhere before but I can't quite remember" he said still staring at the list"She is a very popular artist, I am sure you would have seen some of her works around. One of her work is at the Hamsmith Art Gallery it was one of their showcase for last summer I think the name was.........Blue Light.........."I stuttered off not completely sure I got the name right but also silently thanking Sophie for been a Art lover. I remember her dragging me last summer when they opened with their new art pieces and I remember her been totally obsessed with Elle Gray. I don't think I have ever seen anyone be that obsessed over another person she would definitely write her biography if given the chance. That was also the reason i wen
