As the crowd was calling out their bid, Dana was still in her own world.

“Let’s make this really interesting, let’s go for two thousand dollar, I make really good pancakes.” Nikki added.

“That sound really worth for.” The chairperson said and the bid was increasing now.

Then suddenly Dana was out of her trance as she heard a familiar voice through the microphone.

“Twenty five thousand dollars.”

“Can you repeat that?” The chairperson asked.

“Twenty Five thousand dollars.” Now Dana heard it clear. It was Jenny.

“Twenty Five thousand dollars please walk your way up.” The chairperson asked.

Jenny made her way up with a mischievous smile on her lips; all the friends rolled their eyes in disgust. Before she managed to speak, a voice came out from the crowd.

“Thirty thousand dollars.”

There were noises from the crowd as they figured out where the voice came from.

“Excuse me?” The chairperson asked.

“Me.” Dana walked to the front. “Thirty thousand dollars for this lady.”

The crowd was erupted into cheers. Dana walked up to the stage and stood beside Jenny who now had her mouth opened agape.

“Hi Jenny. Nice to see you like this.” Dana closed Jenny’s mouth and took the microphone from her. Jenny shot her an angry look and walked down the stage. Dana smiled at the instant victory. But when she realized she was now standing in front of a big crowd, she felt her hands started to tremble. She looked at her friends, all were cheering for her. She switched her gaze to Alice, not so good she was staring daggers at her. God what I am doing? She berated.

“Thank you very much. That’s so generous of you. And you are?” The chairperson asked.

“Uhmm, Dana Fairbanks.”

“Wow this year Wimbledon winner! Hey guys put your hands together for Dana Fairbanks!”

The crowd erupted into cheers again. Dana blushed to the root of her hairs. Nikki stood besides her grinning from ear to ear realizing she was about to hook up with the famous and generous tennis player, already liking the idea.

“So now Dana Fairbanks Nikki Stevens is all yours for tonight. Enjoy.” The chairperson winked and gave her a mischievous look. Dana tried to fake a smile but failed miserably. I am so gonna die in Alice’s hand tonight, she thought.
