The rest of the day went by so fast and before I knew it, I was dropping Sophie off at Xain place
"Thank you so much lulu"
I said thanking her for agreeing to watch Sophie on such short notice
"How many times do I have to tell you not to thank me
Come here"
She held my hands and embraced me in a motherly hug
"You and Sophie can drop by anytime
And it is very nice to have a little one over every now and then
Xain here is turning into a grumpy pant"
She said smiling as she collected Sophie sleeping bag
"I heard that"
Xain shouted from the kitchen as he walked in
"That was the whole point
Sophie darling
Why don't you go drop your bag in the room
I also have something for you Vee
Just give me a minute"
Lulu said removing all off Sophie drugs from her bag and giving them back to her
"So how excited are you for tonight
From 1 to 10?"
Xain asked giving me a cup of coffee
"6ish
I think I am more nervous about knowing what exactly happened Friday night to even get excited for this grand party"
I said truthfully as I gently sipped my coffee
"Seriously girl
You need to chill
I mean what's the worst that could have happened that night?
You woke up to your Pantie still in check and this mysterious guy is obviously interested in you to drop 25 grand just to get your attention
So I am going to need you to stop focusing on the other night and get your head in the game"
Xain said giving me the serious face
"But what if he is an older man?
Have you even thought of that at all?
He might even be some creepy old stalker who as a thing for......."
"I am going to have to stop you right there and trust me when I say there is no way in hell your mystery guy is an old man
I mean………....."
"What makes you so sure?"
I asked again still not totally convinced
"Just trust me
The dress alone says it all
And if it is not what you expected you can always call it a night and crash at my place"
"I trust you
100%
Just know if he happens to be a creepy old stalker and he kills me in the dark my spirit will forever hunt you
So let's get ready for a badass party"
I said warning him when lulu came back with a jewelry bag
"I have something for you" lulu said bringing out a very nice silver vintage neckpiece from the bag
"Lulu I........"
"Don't even think of saying No
I have been waiting for this day since forever
You are like a daughter to me
I promised myself I would not cry" She laughed cleaning her teary eyes
"And well I can't give Xain for reasons we both know so well
So it either you take it or I take it with me to my grave" She said making me teary
"Thank you so much
I will keep it………...."
"Enough with the whole emotional mushy
Can we get back to preparing you for this party
And this....."
He collected the neck piece from me
"Goes so perfectly well with the dress
Lulu you're God's sent"
he hugged lulu showering her with kiss
"Get your mouth off my face this very minute young man" She pulled him away with his ears
"Ouch.... Ouch..." He cried out loud
"This is child abuse Lulu"
He complained as he rubbed his ears
"Child abuse
You can do so much better than that" Sophie laughs as she walked in
"Stay out of this" he said shooting her with deadly stare before he went back to lulu
"Lulu you can't keep doing this to me
I am a full grown ass man for Pete sake" he complained out loud
"Start acting like one and I will also stop
Can we all go back to Vee here
Xain do your magic
I trust you
Vee darling make sure you have a amazing time
No excuse tonight
Sophie is going to be fine
So don't even think about calling either one of us" She said looking sternly at me
"Fine I will try to..."
"We are going to need more than you trying
Right lulu" Sophie asked turning to Lulu and Xain who nodded both completely agreeing with her
"I will have fun tonight
Pinky promise
Link your calendar with Lulu's for tonight and I will be going for real this time and you will not hear from me again till tomorrow morning" I said
"All done" She waving her phone at me
"Okay
Xain have you gotten all you are going to need for tonight?" I asked him
"Just give me minute" He hurriedly finished his smoothie cleaned his mouth and went to his room
"Boys"
"Boys"
"Boys"
We all said together, looked at each other and burst into laughter
"Vee can I talk to you for a minute?"
Sophie asked biting her nails nervously
"Okay
What's up?"
I asked her wondering what was on her mind
"Let me give your girls a minute" Lulu said and left to the kitchen
"Well I just want you have a nice time tonight
I know how stressful everything has been since last month and I can't ask for better sister than you
So I want you to go out tonight and have a really amazing time like a regular 30 years old" She said earning her a knock on her head
"30?
Seriously do I look that old?
Don't mess with me tonight" I said touching my face
"Well you definitely don't look your age
But you act like someone in their late 30s
So I am going to need you to drop your parental guard for tonight and have an amazing time
Cos I am going to ask you tomorrow and you are a terrible liar so that's not really an option here" She said looking all serious
"Who is acting like the adult now
Fine I have heard you"
I raised up my hands showing my compliance
"Also as the adult here in the room I only have one more advice for you tonight
Don't do what I wouldn't do
Xain"
She shouted to him
"What do you even think you are allowed to do at this age missy
Oh and Xain you can come out now
She is done with the lecture"
I shouted his name watching him walk out with a smiley face and a little travel bag
"Smiling will not cut it this time around
You can't keep tricking me with......."
"Arrrgh
Enough talking you guys
You have a party to be at in the next 95mins
So please can you guys get going
I love you Sis and you too"
she said pecking us while dragging us out
"And you both better come back in one piece" she said slamming the door in our faces leaving us both shocked
"You heard her
Come on let's go"
Xain clapped bringing me out of shock
"Fine
But don't think I have forgotten about you and Sophie little plotting.
