Sugar Baby [editing]

Chapter Thirty Eight

The next few chapters (probably until 40) are going to be a *little* rushed, just a little.

"You're so beautiful." Christian mumbled, kissing behind Alex's ear. He had his arms securely wrapped around her waist and his face buried in her neck.

They were sitting on the beach watching the sunrise. Christian suggested they get out before Maya wakes up since they haven't had time to themselves because of her and it technically was their vacation.

Alex reached back and started to stroke his struggle beard. "This is so peaceful." She sighed leaning back into his more.

"I know. I'm sorry it had to be cut short."

They were flying home in a few hours since Mina couldn't handle being in charge of Christians money.

"Don't worry about it. We could always come back, right? Florida isn't going anywhere."

"Yeah... you think we could come alone next time? Without Maya?"

Alex twisted her lips. He still didn't know that Maya came from her coochie and not someone else's. She finally decided she needed to let him know. It wasn't fair to him or Maya that she was harboring this secret. She knew she was being selfish.

The weight of all of it was just starting to become too much for her. Between that and her mom getting out of rehab soon she was completely exhausted mentally.

"We'll see." She answered.

She bit her bottom lip; all she needed now was the right time to let him know. She didn't want to do it right at this moment, knowing he was already stressed and dealing with the mess Mina had made. She just needed a time when he'd be calm and a place where he wouldn't overreact if he didn't take the news too well.

But what if he did take it well? Would he want to be her father figure in her life? She let her mind wander off to thoughts of all three of them being a family.

"Daddy!" Maya yelled as Christian walked through the front door. He scooped her up and spun her around making her giggle.

"Hey baby girl." He kissed her cheek. "How was your day?"

"Good. Me and mommy and squish all went to the library today and I got 3 new books!"

"Oh really? A whole 3 books?"

She nodded vigorously making her curls bounce. "Mhmm, and they're big girl books to! You should come with us next time daddy, we can get you books too."

"Maybe I will. Where is your mom at?"

"Upstairs feeding squish."

Christian chuckled as he walked up the stairs "Stop calling your little sister squish, she has a name."
