Once inside the high-end boutique, the salesperson greets Faye.
“KB, this is Shaylee and Kinsley.” A wide grin lifts her mocha cheeks.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you both,” he says.
“Faye, Nadine will be here soon. She’s bringing those pieces you discussed earlier.”
Faye does a little dance. “KB, that’s awesome.”
“I’ll pour the champagne,” KB says as he bounces off toward the back of the store.
Faye waves a hand in the air. “Thanks.”
She turns to Shaylee and me. “Kinsley, give us the run down while we scour the racks.”
“Ok,” I sigh.
KB returns, placing a flute filled with rosy champagne in each of our hands.
“Thank you,” we sing.
His pale cheeks redden, then he smiles from ear to ear. “Do we know what look we’re going for?”
“KB, Kinsley is our star this afternoon. Give me five minutes to find out.”
“No problem.” KB disappears into the back of the store.
“What’s the occasion, Kinsley?” Faye asks.
I gulp down half the glass of champagne. “Dr. Sato said he can’t help my mother. He and his team of doctors have exhausted every possible measure.”
Shaylee folds her arms across her chest. “The fine doctor said that?”
My friend has a crush on my mother’s doctor. I think it’s cute.
I smirk. “Yeah. But all isn’t lost. I’ve found a solution.” My smile turns a bit evil.
After I give them the run down about the Wife for Hire Agency, I peer into their eyes. “This is a great idea, right? I’ll have unlimited funds to research my mother’s condition.”
Faye plants a hand on her curvaceous hip. “Marriage isn’t easy. I know I make it look easy with Eric, but most people have to work at it. You’re talking about marrying a man you don’t know.” She glances around the room, then returns her gaze to mine. “Many wealthy men have weird fetishes.”
Shaylee interrupts, raising a finger. "Your husband might expect you to kneel by the door with your hands bound."
She leans in. “You don’t have sex anymore, Kinsley.”
I swat her away. “I’m aware of my short comings.”
Faye laughs. “You can’t marry a billionaire and not put out.”
Shaylee places a hand on my arm. “We stand by you no matter what. We’ve done so throughout college.”
“To save your mother’s life, we’ll stand with you. Sex will be an issue. You’ll have to go somewhere in your head to get through it,” Faye says in a soft tone.
I nod before tossing the rest of the champagne to the back of my throat. “I’m saving a life. The most important person in my world will live longer. She deserves to travel the world.”
Shaylee and Faye wrap me in their arms.
I can do this.
