She winks. "You know I got you. How's our girl?"
"Same, which I guess is a good thing."
"Did you hear back from that charity you said the hospital has?"
"Heard from them this morning. They said they only cover up to $5,000."
"Which wouldn't even put a dent in the cost of everything."
"Exactly. Char tried to hide her disappointment when I told her, but it was easy to see since I felt the same."
"Well, I got seven hundred in tips last week. I know it isn't much, but..."
"I appreciate every single cent, although I don't think I'll ever stop feeling bad for taking your money."
"Oh, stop it. I may not have known you guys long, but I know you both well enough to know you deserve the help, and Char deserves a kidney."
We all met in college a year ago. Charlotte works, or worked, in the admissions office, until those douchebags let her go when she started missing work too often because of her illness. I was going there for graphic design and Lexa for hospitality. When me and Charlotte moved here for her job, and me switching schools to stay with her, we’d come to this diner for dinner most nights, and met Lexa. It was easy for me and Charlotte to become fast friends with her. She's funny as hell, has a sarcasticcomeback for everything, and a heart of gold under all the wit. She helped me get the job here, knowing I could really use the tips, and that the bills were now my sole responsibility, and has been giving me her tips ever since she'd learned that the hospital was demanding payment before they'd put Charlotte on the transplant list.
I wish I had the option not to take her money, but I have no other... Wait, don't I? I look at Lexa out the corner of my eye. I know I can talk to her about Law and everything that happened in the elevator, that she won't judge in the least. But how the hell do you even start a conversation about that?
"So say, hypothetically..." I begin.
She chuckles. "Which means it isn't hypothetical at all. Go on."
I narrow my eyes at her, and she just smiles. "Say there was a man offering you a shit ton of money, I'm talking enough to pay for the surgery, the bills, move, maybe even go back to school."
"I'm sold."
"I didn't even say what you would have to do for it yet."
"I don't give a shit. He wants me to let him lick my feet, sure. He wants me to lick him from head to toe, done. Shit, he wants me to lick his balls right after he gets back from the gym, I'm on my knees."
"Eww, Lexa, that's disgusting."
"And absolutely something I would do if it got me the money to take care of myself and the people I love."
"Wouldn't it be... shameful? To take someone's money to do, really anything with them?"
"Why shameful?" She furrows her brows. "You and whoever this hypothetical man is are two consenting adults. You'redoing something you wanna do... You do wanna do it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking me."
"I definitely want to do it."
"There you go. You wanna do it. Obviously, he does since he offered you whatever amount of money for your company."
"My company." I roll my eyes. "Now, that really sounds like I'm a lady of the night."
She gasps. "This could all be like Pretty Woman. You're both going to fall in love with each other."
"Love is the last thing on my mind right now, Lexa."
"You and me both. Okay, back to this offer. Like I said, you both want to do this. And I mean, we are talking about sex, right?"
I nod, still not quite able to say the word. To say what I would be doing for the money.
"I say you take his money and get everything you can out of it. Have mind blowing sex. Let that man bend you every which way."
"I get to pick the hotel."
