As me and horoscope entered. We quickly order and I started my speech.
"Aries what about to ask you seems a little too much but I really need your help it's kinda urgent."
Aries nodded and gestured for me to continue.
"I really urgently need cash about 10,000 and I might need it soon like today itself I know it's short notice but it's a bad situation where your the only one I can ask"
I saw Aries's espression change a little and he looked stern yet had soft eyes.
"Jay your my little sister I don't care about spending money on you. I am willing to spend my college found to help you but I need to know why you need this now on such short notice cause it's unlike you to ask for an amount like 10,000 so suddenly."
Shit shit I hadn't thought about this fvck I can't tell him the truth.
"Well Aries I need to...uhm ... I need the money for..."
"Do you need time to think about an excuse?"
He asked sarcastically sensing my reaction.
"No listen... I need to go to the hospital for a check up and I can't tell kuya about it yet so I need some cash for it."
Shit. What the fvck did I just say. I watched the way horoscope seemed hesitant like he didn't fully believe me.
"Well I'll come with you then"
"No I need to do this alone... I need to visit a physiatrist... And I should do this on my own plz Aries understand my situation."
"Jay I'm willing to pay all the way for this but plz don't tell me this is forced"
"I promise it's not but just don't tell Kuya plz"
Horoscope seemed to understand. But the food arrived so we dug in and he kept adding more on my plate and giving me more food.
Aww my kuya loves me.
But I noticed something weird was this guy at another table like 2 rows away kept staring at us. Every five or ten minutes I'd catch him glancing at us. I tried to brush it off as nothing but I had a weird feeling in my chest about all of this.
As we finished to leave. The Horoscope paid and he went to use the restroom. I glanced over at the guy he was still at his table and when I looked over he wasn't staring anymore but I could feel eyes on me when I looked away.
As horoscope got out and as we left I still felt eyes on me and I found myself holding Aries's hand a little tighter.
As we got into the car I forced myself to focus on the present instead of that guy.
"Do you want me to drop and pick you at the hospital?"
Asked horoscope
If I said no it would sound suspicious so I just agreed.
"Drop but no need of pick"
"U sure? Also Jay why didnt you bring keifer with you normally you would ask him"
Fvck he was smart he was putting two and two together.
"He's dealing with enough at home I can't stress him out too much"
Horoscope nodded but I could tell he didn't fully believe me.
He pulled into the hospital drop off and handed me the cash I asked for. I smiled at him and thanked him before heading out. I waited for him to drive off so I could walk away.
So far I got 10,000 so 40,000 more and I have about 7 hours to arrange the rest. So I turned to my next choice.
