An Offer

Lily gulped as she heard her mother’s words, she felt knives piercing her heart as she stared at her.

“Mum.” A voice suddenly called and a girl about Lily’s age showed up in the living room. 

“Hey, baby.” Her mother’s face lit up and the girl took a seat next to her and hugged her.

“Who is she?” The girl asked and her mother waved her hand in the hair.

“No one. She is irrelevant.” Her mother replied and turned away from her and paid attention to the girl.

Lily felt like everything happening was all a dream but it was not, the pain she was feeling in her chest was real. The tears that streamed down her cheeks were real.

They got into a conversation and ignored Lily who was still on her knees. She slowly stood up and walked out of the house with the guard. He escorted her till she got out fully and the gate closed. 

Lily exhaled heavily as tears streamed down her eyes again, she slowly brought out her phone with trembling hands and teary eyes. 

She checked the time and breathed out heavily as she set a countdown of forty-seven hours. An hour has gone already. 

Lily had no hope and she knew she might probably watch the time run out till her father would die, and she will be all alone in this world. 

She dragged her feet down the street and kept looking around, she found a bar and headed towards it. 

She doesn't drink, she had never drank before, all she wanted to do was just sit and watch as people get themselves drunk and laugh away their sorrows. 

She walked into the bar and headed to the counter, she saw different men and a few middle-aged women there. 

There was a woman behind the counter and she stared at Lily as she walked up to her. 

“Good evening .” Lily greeted and the woman smiled at her.

“You need something for those baggy eyes?” The woman teased and Lily shook her head. It was obvious she cried, her eyes were swollen already. 

“No, thank you.” Lily replied.

“Well, you have got to order something.” The woman said and Lily hurriedly checked her bag to see if she had any money left but she didn't. 

“Oh. Sorry, I will leave then.” She apologised and was about to leave when the woman stopped her.

“Hold on. Just out of curiosity, is something wrong? Why did you cry so bad till your eyes got swollen? What happened?” The woman asked and Lily didn't hesitate to tell her. 

She needed to tell someone to get it off her chest, it was just too much for her to bear.

“My… my father is sick and he needs a kidney transplant and I need to get money for his surgery in forty-eight hours and I… “ Lily trailed off as tears streamed down her eyes. 

“Your father is sick and you need money?” She asked and Lily nodded in tears.

“How much are we talking about here?” She asked.

“Four hundred thousand dollars.” Lily replied and the woman groaned.

“I’m sorry dear. I don't have that much.” She apologised and Lily gave a sad smile and nodded.

“It's fine. It's a huge amount of money.” She replied and turned to leave.

“But.” The woman said and Lily paused and turned to her.

“But?”

“I know a way you can get four hundred thousand dollars tonight.” She replied and Lily’s eyes widened.

“What? Really?” She asked and the woman nodded in response.

“How?” She asked and the woman walked away from the counter and pulled Lily with her to a corner.

“Forgive my manners. My name is Cassie.” She introduced.

“Lily.” She responded.

“Okay. Back to the job. I don't know if you can do it but with your body and your pretty face, it would be easy.”

“Okay?”

“It's a one-night stand. You are going to have a one-night stand with a person, he is going to pay you at least four hundred thousand dollars and my company will get just ten percent of it.” She explained and Lily blinked rapidly. She never thought she would lose her virginity this way. At least not to a stranger.

Cassie saw the shocked look on her face and felt like she already made a mistake proposing it to her.

“It’s fine if you don't want to… “

“I will do it.” She cut her off.

“I will do it. I am ready,  I will do it.”

“Are you sure?” She asked and Lily nodded.

“Yes, I will do it. Anything for my father.” She replied and Cassie smiled.

“Okay. But first, we need to get you cleaned up.” Cassie said and brought out a card.

“Be at this address in an hour. I will call someone and the person will take it from there.” She explained and Lily smiled.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.” She said and the woman nodded with a smile and Lily made her way out of the bar. 

She squealed happily as she got out, she ignored the stares she was getting as she squealed. 

She was happy that she would save her father but not so happy because of the way she is about to but who cares? It is just for a night. 

Just for this night, she will get to save her father and her life will be back to normal again.

After a few minutes close to an hour, Lily arrived at the address. She stared at the huge building in front of her which looked like a club and a hotel. 

She took in a deep breath and slowly walked towards it, she got in and met a woman at the entrance.

“Are you Lily?” The woman asked immediately after she saw her.

“Yes.” 

“Okay, come with me.” The woman said and Lily trailed behind her as they walked down a hallway. The woman stopped and turned into a room and Lily also did. 

The room was filled with different ladies getting dressed, some were naked, some were half naked and there were also three guys there looking feminine.

“Okay, I need a quick makeover on her. Get her ready in thirty minutes.” The woman ordered and walked out. Lily noticed the lady's eyes on her, they were mostly glares and she looked away from them.

The guys in the room walked to her and made her sit on a chair, immediately, they set to work. 

After a while, they were done and Lily stared at herself in the mirror. 

Her hair was straightened and her baggy eyes were gone. She was also dressed in a short tight gown. They really did a good job in a short time.

The door opened again revealing the woman and she walked to Lily.

“Come on.” She ordered and Lilly stood up and followed her. They walked out of the room and headed down another hallway. 

As they walked, Lily’s heart raced, she had no idea what was waiting for her. They walked into a room and it was a bedroom which looked a little bit fancy. 

“Here.” The woman said, handing her a blindfold and she raised her brows.

“What is this for?” 

“You can't see who the client is. It is for your own good. Our clients are of high rank in the city.” The woman replied and Lily nodded. 

Not like she had a choice or she could disagree. 

She sat on the bed and put on the blindfold and then breathed out heavily.

“Good luck.” The woman said and walked out of the room. 

Lily felt her knees weak and her hands trembling. 

What was coming? Who is the person? 

It is just a one-night stand, it can't be that bad! 

How bad can it be to have a one-night stand? 

A one-night stand as a virgin!
