One Wild Night

Amy stood over the bed where Miley lay covered up with her duvet, “I’ve had enough of this, Miley! Get out of the bed,” Amy hissed as she pulled off the duvet.

She was about to get dressed for them to leave for the interview she had scheduled with the men applying to be Miley’s potential husband, yet Miley, who she was doing all of these for, was still on the bed.

“I don’t want to,” Miley said with a sniffle.

“That’s fine. Since you want to keep sulking, I guess I should call them and cancel all the appointments. And then I will call your parents as well….”

“You can’t do that!” Miley protested as she sat up to look at Amy with sad eyes.

“Yes, I can. And I will if you keep being a baby about this. You’ve been sulking for almost forty eight hours already. If you don’t want to get out of bed or go on with the plans, you should as well stay in the hospital bed instead,” Amy said with a frown.

Although she felt sorry for Miley, she was also mad. She was sorry that Miley had to hear Lucas who she liked compare her to someone like Rachel, and she was sorry that Miley’s feelings was hurt, but she was angry at the way Miley was going about the whole thing feeling sorry for herself.

The man didn’t want her, big deal! Why couldn’t she just move on? The most annoying part of it was that Miley had blamed her for Lucas’ reaction. Asking her why she told Lucas about it without her consent.

She had wanted to speak with Lucas alone so that Miley wouldn’t have to deal with the rejection, but that had obviously not worked out for them all.

“What if we call your boss….”

“No! We are not calling Lucy!”

“But she agreed to meet with me the other day….”

“That was before her twin brother stormed out of this apartment angrily. Don’t you think she would be upset if she finds out you’re trying to get to him through her again after upsetting him….”

“All I want is to speak with him and apologize to him….”

“No, Miley! Leave him alone. He has made his stance clear, and I honestly can’t fault him for it. He is dealing with personal stuff of his own right now, and even if he wasn’t, it really is selfish of us to….”

“I’m not going to ask him to marry me or anything, I promise. I only want to hear from him and apologize to…”

“I don’t care, Miley. Just let him be. Please. I’m the one who will have to face them after all this,” Amy reminded her as she went to sit on the bed beside Miley.

“He doesn’t want to have anything to do with us. We have to focus on you. You are not in any position to be worrying about someone else right now. Forget about Lucas and focus on yourself. I don’t want you to spend what little time you have left looking so sad or miserable,” Amy pleaded as she patted Miley’s hair.

“Alright,” Miley said with a resigned sigh.

“Good. Now quite a number of fine looking men responded to the anonymous ad I put out two nights ago. I spent some time texting with some of them and checking out their social media page, and I was able to choose some candidates. We are meeting with a couple of them today to interview them,” Amy announced.

“Do you think maybe I’m making a mistake?” Miley asked, and Amy sighed.

“Now you think you’re making a mistake because Lucas won’t marry you? Was he the reason you made this decision?” Amy asked patiently and Miley shook her head.

“Not at all.”

“Good. The only mistake I think you are making is not informing your parents about your health and about this decision. They would be very heart broken if they find out about this when it’s too late,” Amy said as Miley got off the bed.

“We’ve been through this already, Amy. You know how they are. I won’t be able to go out anymore or enjoy what little time I have left. They’re going to keep fussing and make sure I remain in the hospital receiving treatment that won’t work. They will stop at nothing to find or develop new drugs. That’s not how I want to spend the short time I have left,” Miley said, and Amy shook her head.

“You know what? Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s get ready for the interview. The earlier we get this done, the better,” Miley said before Amy could say anything, and headed for the bathroom to shower.

Although she wanted them to talk some more about this, Amy said nothing as she rose from the bed to go dress up.

“Amy?” Miley called before Amy could leave the room, and Amy turned to look at her.

“Promise me you won’t tell them about it? I have to do it myself when I’m ready,” Miley said, and Amy looked at her for some seconds without saying anything.

“When do you think you’re going to be ready to tell them about it?”𝑂𝑽𝓁xt.𝓒𝐎𝓂

“I don’t know. I will have to figure out a way around it. But just don’t say a word to them. Let me do it myself when I’m ready. Please,” Miley added, and Amy sighed

“You realize that everyone is going to be mad at me when they find out I was aware, and said nothing, right?” Amy asked with a worried frown knowing how Miley’s parents could be, and her mother too.

“They won’t know if we don’t tell. You can act as surprised as everyone else when I make the announcement,” Miley suggested.

“And the pregnancy? How do I explain it if we go on with the surrogacy plan before you tell them?” Amy asked, and Miley let air out through her lips.

“That’s true. Don’t worry, I will explain everything to them after we have settled the marriage and surrogacy stuff,” Miley promised, and although Amy was not comfortable with the whole idea, she decided not to worry about it and focus on being there for best friend.

“Fine. Let’s just get ready. Hopefully by the end of the day, we will get you a husband,” Amy said, and Miley smiled.

“That’s why I love you. Thank you for doing this for me,” Miley said as she went to embrace Amy before walking away from there to the bathroom to shower.

Although she was still sad about how things ended with Lucas, she agreed with Amy. She couldn’t spend what little time she had left worrying and wishing for what could have been. She had to move on with her life and with her plans.

She made up her mind not to be too picky. She didn’t want to waste too much time on this. All she needed was to find a good mannered fine looking young man with a solid family history.

By the time Miley got out of the bathroom, Amy was dressed already and had laid out clothes for her on the bed. She was now sitting on the bed, busy with her phone.

“Are you really sure you want to be my surrogate? I could find someone else to do it. You don’t have to make such a major life decision for my sake,” Miley said, and Amy smiled.

“I know I don’t have to, but I want to. This is the least I can do for you,” Amy said, waving off Miley’s concern without looking at her.

“Are you sure you won’t regret this?” Miley asked, and Amy dropped her phone and looked at her.

“It will make me feel better knowing I have a part of you with me. I can’t regret it,” Amy assured her.

“You know your hymen needs to be broken, right? I think you need to have sex first before we go on with it,” Miley said with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

She had been hoping Lucas and Amy would hit it off during their dinner date and Amy would lose her virginity to Lucas, but things had not gone as planned unfortunately.

Amy sighed, “Let me worry about that myself. Get dressed up let’s leave already.”

“By the way, I’m not sure I mentioned this, but I asked the candidates to come with a copy of their medical reports for the interview. That was why I scheduled the interview for evening so they could get it from their doctors. Whoever we decide on will still undergo some medical tests for us to be sure he is healthy,” Amy said, and Miley gave her a nod of approval.

“That’s a good idea,” Miley said as she dried her body, and then stopped when something occurred to her and she turned to Amy.

“You realize we can’t take him to my family doctor, and we can’t hold the wedding here either, right? I think it’s best we fly out of the country. We could go on our usual vacation together and I could get married to him over there. We will make it look like I met him while vacationing and I was swept off my feet so we decided to get married. We could also get started with the surrogacy stuff over there. A week after we get back to the country I will open up to my parents about my health like I just found out about it,” Miley suggested.

“Whatever you decide is fine by me,” Amy assured her, feeling sad that this would be their last vacation together.
