Love Don't Co$t A Thing 2

The Deal

The next night, London's mother will be going on a couple's retreat with her boyfriend, Jonathan   which they'll be gone for a week.

"Now, honey I'll be gone for a week and if you need me make sure you call me on the hotel number." London's mother said.

"I know, I already put the number in my phone." London said.

The two of them walked out of the door and got in to the Escalade SVU and to the airport for their flight.

"Wait a minute, I forgot to put the Range Rover into the garage, i'll just be a second..." London's mom said.

"Baby, you're killing me with this..." her boyfriend said.

"Oh, come on, sweetie." she said as he plants a kiss.

"Look, mom. I'll do it for you. You two should just go." London said.

"Alright, now. You make sure you leave it in there and no joy rides. Cause you're not under my insurance." her mother said. 

"Mom, will you stop already? I'm really responsible. Trust me." London said.

"She right, honey and we're late by the way." her boyfriend said.

"Okay, we'll we're off. Love you!" her mother said.

"Love you too. Have a safe flight." London said.

"Don't worry honey, I'm pretty sure he'll call you." her mother said as they back out of the drive way and leave.

London opens the door to the Range Rover and got in. She start having second thoughts on not going to have a joy ride in her mother's car, but she decides to do it anyway. London took her mother's car to pick up her friends.

"Girl, I can't wait for you to see my mom's ride, its rolling!" London said as she was talking on the phone with her friends.

While talking the phone she has an incoming call from Braxton.

"Oh my god! It's Braxton! This is perfect!" London exclaimed. 

"Oh god, I wish we could hear, the conversation." Yolanda said.

"Do I mention the interview?" London said.

"Hell yeah, you should mention the damn interview girl." Yolanda said.

"What are you waiting for, he can't leave him ringing." Jasmine said.

"Just answer him and give us an update what he said." Yolanda said.

"Okay. Hello, Braxton?" London said while hangs up her friends and answer Braxton call.

"Who's your boo, baby?" Braxton asked.

"You're my boo, baby, but why did you have to go in diss me like that?" London said.

"Why are you sweating me? Come on you loves you drew loves you. That's all that matters. Don't hate the player, baby. Hate the game." Braxton said.

"So baby,  it was all just for publicity?" London asked.

"Hey you know how... Oh wait hold on." Braxton said until some ladies tap on his window in his limousine.

"Who's that?!" London said.

"The limo driver just popped a tire. I gotta go and help him out." Braxton said as he lied to London.

"Where are you going, then? Braxton!" London said as the car started to stop and smoke came out of the hood.

"Oh god, no no no no." London said as she got out of the car and look at the hood.

London start losing signal reception to call for help and she stuck in the middle of the road at night. 

"What am I going to do?" London said as she sat down on the curb with her hands on face.

After I finished delivering the last pizzas for the night, I saw London standing on the side of the road with her broke down mother's car. I figure that she needs help so I was thinking this was my chance to talk to her, so I stop by her way, took off my helmet and asked if she need any help.

"Um.. London?" I said

"Aiver?" London said as she got up.

"Xavier." I corrected her.

"Oh, you deliver our pizzas right?" she said.

"Yeah... you look likes you go engine trouble." I said.

"Well that figures. My mom is going to kill me if she finds out I took her car out." London said.

"Not technically. I can fixed it." I said.

"You can do it?" London smiled.

"Yeah, I'm in auto repair class." I said.

I open up the hood and take a look at the engine and smoke steam came out as I coughed and wave the smoke away. I fixed the engine and her car is back up running again.

"Oh my god, thank you so much, Xavier." London thanked me.

"No problem." I smiled.

London got her wallet out of her purse and tries to pay me for fixing her car, but I didn't want her money.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm paying you for fixing my mom's car." London said.

"Oh no. I don't want your money." I said.

"Well you fixed my mom's car so I have to repay you somehow." London said.

I was thinking about how will I get my chance with London, so I came up with an idea to make her to be a my girlfriend for awhile.

"Well actually..." I said.

"What?" she said.

"Maybe you can pretend to be my girlfriend for a couple of months." I said.

London looks at my with her arms fold and she started to laugh.

"You really want me to be your girl so you can impress your friends or something?" London said.

"Not really, if you do I can buy you more parts to your mom's car. I have $1700 to pay for it." I said as I show her my money to pay for my scholarship.

"So you think you can buy me for $1700?" London said.

"No no no not buying you just renting." I said.

"You know I have a boyfriend, right?" London raised her eyebrow.

"Their won't be any sex in this 'pretend' relationship." I said.

"Why would you want people to think that I'm your girl?" London said.

"Because it would make me popular." I said.

London took her time to think about this choice. She took a deep breath and made her decision.

"Alright, one week. I'm your girl for one week." London said.

"It has to be a month." I said.

"Two weeks! That's it." London said.

"You know, two weeks. Good." I said.

"You better not think about sex." London said.

"I won't." I said.

"And don't even look at my booty." London said.

"Okay. No booty licking. I mean looking. But don't tell anyone about our deal, not even your friends." I said.

"Trust me, I can keep a secret." London said.

"Pinky swear?" I said as I raised my left pink up and London shook her head no. I finish repairing the Range Rover with the money I was saving up and the car look brand new.
