Chapter Ten

“It’s not like I want the prescription! The doctor prescribed it for her. It’s what she needs. I don’t have the money to buy it.”

Sophia paced back and forth in her little kitchen, furious at her grandmother’s stupid insurance company for not wanting to cover the tiny prescription for her. Out of pocket it would cost thirteen hundred dollars. Who had that kind of money solely set aside for medicine? As the insurance lady droned on and on in her ear, Sophia added up the number of additional shifts at the club she could take on, as well as how many private lap dances she could do in order to get the money. Maybe two weeks? If she busted her ass and explained to Jericho that she needed the hours and the money, he would understand.

“Ma’am? Ma’am? Are you still there?”

“Yes. I’m still here. Yes. Email me the form and I will fill it out. How long will it take to review my request?”

“At least two weeks.”

“Fine.” She rattled off her email, and once she hung up, she called the doctor’s office. Of course, getting the doctor directly was like trying to get ahold of the President. She explained her situation to some stranger who had nothing to do with the any of this and was promised that said stranger would relay Sophia’s information to the doctor’s nurse – not even the doctor himself!

“Damn it!” She threw her phone onto the counter and burrowed her face into her hands. She wished, just once, something would be easy. It was always one step forward two steps back for her. That was the story of her life. Did other people have this many problems? Michael didn’t seem to. He seemed like he was on top of the world. She had been too for those brief moments last night. She had almost let him have sex with her right there in his kitchen. She’d let him unbuckle her bra and stick his hand into her panties. Her first real orgasm. Done by someone other than herself. On their first official date as a fake couple nonetheless. Keyword fake, Sophia.

Who was she and what happened to the Sophia who was saving her virginity?

Before she knew it, she was mixing flour and sugar and rolling out dough to make not one, but two peach cobblers. Baking relieved her from thinking about all the stupid shit going on in her life. All she wanted was to take care of her grandma, to make sure her grandma was comfortable and pain-free. Was that too much to ask? Sophia knew her grandma was elderly and with that came some health issues, but it was a struggle every damn time.

As she stirred the mixture, Sophia’s thoughts drifted back to Michael and their fake engagement. Three weeks left of their charade, and she was already sad to see it end. She was even more shocked that she was willing to give herself so freely to this man—a man she hardly knew—without any uncertainty whatsoever.
