After driving some distance from the hospital, the guy next to me who couldn't stop shaking finally spoke up: "there it is!"
"Alright, let's go!", I said and got down from the car.
With a bit of hesitation and a pounding heart, he got down from the car.
"What's your name?", I turned to the relatively short dude.
"Moses!", He replied.
"Hahahahah!", As soon as I heard his name I couldn't help the laughter.
"I am so sorry! Who? Who gave you that name?!", I asked still laughing.
With a frown, he replied: "My late mom!"
"Oh, that's solid!", I replied with a straight face.
"Alright Moses, you did good!", I said and handed him 50 bucks.
As soon as he saw this, his eyes lit up in an instant.
"But this…", he said as he lustfully but hesitantly looked at the money in my hand.
Knowing what he was thinking, I quickly replied: "it's now mine, from the money I won, I'm giving this to you!"
After a bit of hesitation, he finally took the money from me.
"Lead me in!", I said with a smile.
With a less complicated expression, he walked in and I followed, looking back for a bit.
……
We got in and walked towards the counter which was a straight walk from the door.
Some chairs were arranged by the left with a table in the middle.
For some reason my skin looked alot more pale inside than it did anywhere else.
The lightings made this so; what a business strategy…
Behind the glass counter were some girls.
"How can I help you sir?!", One said to Moses with a forced flattering expression while the others eyes remained fixed on the phone in her hand.
"Would you like to take out your body hair?"
"A tan?"
"Or you would like to book an appointment for your wife?"
After hearing the offers, Moses subconsciously turned to me. Only then did she look at me.
"Cough!", The girl choked.
"What's the matter?!", The one beside her asked as she raised her head up.
"Jeez!", The one whose face had been fixed on the phone screamed as soon as she saw me.
"I would like a tan please!", I said looking at them.
They looked at themselves subconsciously and turned back to me.
"Right now?!", The one who had been talking asked.
"Yes, and every morning!", I replied.
"Oh, okay!", She nodded as she looked at her colleague.
"How much would both cost?", I asked.
"…A tan session would cost $35 but a subscription for a month will cost you $900", she replied.
"Alright, here!", I slid a hundred and fifty bucks in front of her.
"I would like a tan for I and my friend and also to book an appointment for his significant other!", I replied.
As soon as Moses heard this, he was stunned.
"But…"
"Shhhh! Don't worry…", I hushed Moses who was about to say something.
On seeing this, the girls looked at themselves again and then turned to us, looking at me with a more confused expression, trying to decipher who I was.
"Well!", I said looking at the lost girls.
"Yes!"
"Right!"
"Sandy!", One said to the other.
"But… Sir! You are supposed to get $30 back!", She said as she handed $30 to me.
"Just make our time here exceptional!", I added pushing the money back with a smile.
On hearing this, she chuckled slightly and then led the way to the tan room.
……
After the tan, we both walked out of the building.
"Looking good Moses! I bet your significant other's going to like it too.", I said to him with a smile.
He looked at me gratefully, and for a moment was unable to utter a word.
"You're welcome!", I smiled and walked into my car.
"I need a phone…", I said looking at Moses who stood outside, still a little lost.
"Okay!", He quickly nodded frantically and stepped in.
……
With Moses's lead, we got to a big building.
"My brother works here!", He said as he stepped down and rushed over to the other side to open my door for me.
I stepped down and followed him as he walked into the Plaza.
The noise had already began to mess with my head.
Strangely, some who saw Moses dodged to the side in fear.
"Aaron!", He called out in front of a shop where some phones were neatly stacked up.
'What's up with this family?
I chuckled internally.
As soon as the man in the shop heard his voice, his heart began to race.
With a shocked expression, Aaron looked at Moses.
"What do you want?", He asked with a frown.
"Can't I come visiting my brother?!", He asked still holding up his smile.
"I've told you! Until you leave that cult, I don't want to see your face ever again!", He replied aloud.
"Honey what's the problem?", We heard a woman say from inside the shop, and soon saw a short haired blonde with a big belly.
"Nancy, I am so sorry. Please go back to bed, it's just Moses!", Aaron replied politely.
As soon as his voice fell his wife's expression changed as well as she turned to the short Moses.
"Moses!", She called.
Moses's expression which had been ugly since the woman's arrival became even worse.
