The Plan

"What!! No, please tell me you're joking." I shouted.

"I wish! But no kiddo I'm not kidding." Ronald answered, his eyes peering in mine

"You really want us to stoop that low?" Seb asked.

"Well, technically sir... we only need one of you to stoop that low." Shawn the advisor consulted us.

After listening to that Seb quickly backed off, literally he just stepped back and sat on the olive green sofa.

"Hey! I can't do that, I have a GF remember!" Seb protested, when I glanced towards him with popping eyes.

"So what?! You just want me to seduce a girl I don't even know?!" I defended myself.

"Well, not seduce sir... more like get to know her, have an acquaintance with h-"

"No!! I'm really sorry, I won't." I cut Shawn the betrayer mid sentence.

"Look kid, we've tried to find an opening for years now. That man is like Wall Maria." Ronald's voice rang and echoed in the white living room.

I took in his words as silence fell to this usually loud, chatty group.

"Ok, but..." I moved in closer to my grey bearded guardian, "If I recall you're still single, why don't you give it a try?" I pinched my eye lids for special effects and shoved my index finger in his chest.

The silence broke into laughter, "You!! Come here!" I ran away from his clutches.

After a few seconds of running, and failed attempts of catching, Shawn the bewildered asked, "I don't get it sir... will you be doing it? Or not?"

"I'll do it!" I stopped.

"He has no choice, he has to... after hurting me, my feelings... my heart." Ronald huffed.

"Oh, C'mon Ronald you'll find someone soon," Seb reassured him. "Someone who won't think of you as a Grandpa." He finished.

The group continued to laugh at his humiliation.

"Anyways, Shawn... Who is she?" I asked, cutting the laughter short.

"I don't quite know her name but... " He rubbed his chin, "From what I've seen she's around your age and is really beautiful." He finished.

"Well, Thank you! That actually helps a lot."

I looked around the living room for the first time, taking in the amazing artworks hung on the white walls. The colours were beautifully vivid on the white surface. Every stroke etched in my memory.

"So when will she come back?" Seb pulled me back to reality.

"I think her semester was just about to end, she must be quite close, sir." Shawn the almost normal Shawn answered.

I walked closer to where Shawn was standing, his stance rehearsed and proper, "Shawn I'll say this once," I paused as an aroma surrounded me, 'is this coconut?' "stop saying sir-sir please we're just kids." I finished.

"But sir, you're my ma-"

"PA-PA-PA-PA-PA just Rumi. And that's an amazing scent."

"Yes just Rumi this is the scent of my shampoo, would you like some, just Ru-"

"Shawn, Rumi ok R-U-M-I, Rumi not just not ok- Rumi! And yes give that to Seb he stinks."

I ignored Seb's protests and snatched him away from Shawn the creep.

"listen I'm not mentally prepared for this, I'm not even over her!!" I took Seb to my room.

"Rumi, my dearest friend-Rumi. When were you ever, under her?"

"Oh shut up!!"

"ya know what you need..." he looked at me, "what is with that look?" he asked.

"I dunno, what do I need?"

"Clothes, you need clothes my friend!"

I gave him a 'no please don't torture me like that' face, but it only made him more excited, and I knew what was going to happen.

Without a first warning, Seb snatched my robe off of me.

"Seb!!!" I shouted, while covering my chest with my hands.

"Oh stop crying you have your boxers on." he looked at me as his grin widened, "And anyways I've seen more than that, you don't need to hide it from me!" He said, pulling on my boxers.

"Seb!! That was decades ago I was still 5 years old, and you were the one who told me to show you!" I finished with a wider grin.

"No one likes a know it all!"

"Wait I also remember..." Seb quickly wrapped his hands around my mouth.

"Yhwours whwas smhawller" I tried to speak through his hands.

"Yeah, yeah don't get ahead of yourself." Seb said. "Anyways let's go."

We walked on the perfectly constructed pavement crossing various clothing outfitters, and boutiques.

"Seb, can't we just buy them from here, I'm really tired!" I complained. Pointing towards an outfitter nearby.

"We're almost there." He stroke my back, "Almost there."

I grunted and kept walking next to him.

"We're here!" He shouted, causing the women around us to look at us. Wait a minute... Women?

I turned my head towards a pink banner, clearly showing the words 'Victoria's Secret'. I turned my head towards Seb, and quickly shoved him in a corner.

"What the hell Seb?!" I paused, "Ok this is getting out of hand, why the hell are you laughing?"

"Because," He grabbed my hand and brought me back in front of the store, "I was showing you this" He pointed towards the store next to 'Victoria's Secret' a smaller shop with a red banner on which 'Levi's' was quite prominent in white.

"Ohhh!" I scratched my head from the embarrassment.

"Let's go, before you make a fool of yourself... again! Make a fool of yourself again!" Seb chuckled as he corrected himself.

I was gazing through some of the black clothes, when I found it! It was shining amongst all the others, a perfect match for my delirious self. It was a match made in heaven. I held it and ran towards Seb, who was piling up on whatever he could get his hands on.

"What?! Another Black Turtleneck?!" he snatched that beautiful little thing from my hands, and shoved the pile towards me.

"Go and change, we'll choose the best amongst these." He announced.

After an hour of trying out different clothes, Seb finally said- "This is Da one!"

I Looked at myself in the mirror, I had blue jeans (which Seb said was really difficult to find in 28 waist size.) They were perfectly matching my black sneakers, and I had a white T-Shirt with 'Marvel' written in black, and instead of wearing a jacket, he gave me a red and black checked Shirt. He specifically told me to wrap the sleeves up half-way, so my popping nerves can be visible.

Seb quickly got rid of the other, as he would say 'Unqualified' clothes, and paid for the 'Winners'.

I continued walking towards the exit and abruptly stopped before exiting, when I saw someone, with a 'Victoria's Secret' bag in their hand.

"What the hell! Move!" Seb shouted.

"Shhhhh!" I put my fingers on my lips, and pointed towards the person who caused me to stop in my tracks.

"Oh, shit! Rumi, what are the odds." He chuckled silently behind me as I watched her get in a limousine.

Wait what?! A Limousine?!

Why was Sasha here?! And why did she just get in a Limousine?!

I thought this was just an accident and I'd never see her after this, little did I know that she was... let's just keep things at that for now.
