"Oh...i didn't think about that but let's see...hmm" He thought for a while. "100k?"
"Fourple it." I said, without thinking
"Fourple? oh you mean add up by four times ?" he asked, then continued,"okay, that should be uhm, wait, huh...Jeez Bibi that's 400."
"Yes"
"Are you kidding me?" he said.
Then,
"Do you have a passport?"
"No...why?"
"I'm going to have to get you one...and a visa...and then a flight ticket. Bibi that's a hell lot of money considering the time frame."
"What kind of business are you goin for."
"Erm...actually, just a meeting...as in corporate stuff...ok, i'm buying a casino there, nothing big."
"Buying a casino?" i suddenly sit upright. That was big stuff. "Are you kidding me? Nothing big?"
"Yeah." he said with a uhm, what's on her mind voice.
"Then 400 is quite cheap for you."
He sighed. "fine, if that's what you want. Just get ready, i'll send a car to pick you up when it's time."
The phone went dead.
What? i thought to myself, he just agreed to that? i was kidding, i was f***king kidding.
I got up in a rush to go into the kitchen for a glass of water but got distracted by Kendra who decided to come home then.
"Hey hey hey...guess who's home.." She sang, barging in.
She loved doing that to me.
"It's meee..." she finished.
"Well, someone's excited tonight." I said, turning to her. Then i noticed the several shopping bags she's carrying.
I narrowed my eyes at her. "What's all that?"
"Shush and help me!" She replied.
I took a few bags from her, dropped down on a couch and started going through them.
"Hey stop.." she dropped the others on the ground and grabbed the ones i had. "It's supposed to be a surprise...i'm saving them for later."
"Oh!" i exclaimed. "Am i going to be surprised?"
"Of course...it's a surprise." She said that gesturing like she was talking to a dumb person.
I laughed. "I know, i just mean, is there anything for me in there?" I pointed at the bags
"We'll see about that." she replied.
Then,
"Hey, do you want to go see a movie tonight? I think we should go."
"No, i'm trying to save." I replied.
"Let's say your friend got her hands on some couple of bucks today and wants to spend...no, cross out want...needs to spend some you."
My eyebrows went up. "Did you get paid today? it's not the end of the month yet."
"No...if i waited for my salary...i would never be able to leave the house." She said, rolling her eyes. "those people know how to upset someone."
"So, movies? my treat."
"Don't you have to go to work tonight?"
"Yeah but i traded my shift..." She said, a little fustrated. ""So, i'm free baby."
An hour later, we were in a cab...
"So, are you going to tell me how you got the cash?" I asked Kendra
"Not yet."
"This is the third time you're saying that..." I was curious. "Why won't you tell me?"
"I'm going to tell you Bibi...but not now." She replied, checking her phone."Let's leave it at that please."
"Fine."
She started typing away on her phone while i looked out the window in a bid to concentrate on something else.
But it doesn't work.
"Kendra, at least tell me how much."
"Let it go." she said quickly, without looking away from her phone.
I wondered who she was chatting with...i wondered how she came by the money more. She was being secretive so it had to something big.
Kendra does some sleeping around for money but she always told me about each one. She had several stories i was already thinking i could write a chronicle out of it. I even had a name...
Adventures of the Kendra.
Suddenly, i remembered Daniel and the Vegas offer.
"Kendra..."
"I'm not telling okay?" she cut me off. "Why don't you let it go? I'll tell you when i want too." she finished in a loud, upsetting tone, leaving me speechless.
The car came to a halt.
"We're here." she said and climbed out.
I stared at her back as she did and decided not to get upset or try to wiggle the information from her again
