The Sugar Daddy~A Love Story

Chapter Four

"Carmen! That's my ex wife" He said, I got out of the pool and picked my dress and heels off of the ground 

"Nice to meet you ma'am, I have heard great things about you. Alex...Goodnight" I rushed into the house and slipped my dress on. I got into my car and thought about what just happened; I cannot sleep with him and his wife- or ex wife just walked in on us. 

Once I got home my mom eyed me up and down.

"What?" I asked putting my purse on the table beside her 

"You smell like chlorine and your lipstick is all over your face" She stated with a smile

"What? Oh um yeah I accidentally smeared it and the chlorine is probably my perfume" I said avoiding eye contact 

"You know I can always tell when you are lying, always have since you were a little girl" She said smiling "Now tell me who this person is" She said poking my side making squirm and smile back at her. 

"I met him at Starbucks, he was in line and paid for my coffee and we had our second date tonight" I said she nodded and slowly got up from her chair, I grabbed her arm to help her 

"I am so happy that you are finding love, baby." She said kissing my cheek and patting my arm before walking to her room. I fell on to the couch and huffed. 

Next Morning 

I threw my scrubs and put on light makeup 

"Hey mom" I said kissing her forehead as I walked into the kitchen 

"Hey honey" She said taking a sip of her coffee 

"I will be back here at 2 to pick you up" I said grabbing a banana

"Alright" She said getting up and kissing my cheek. 

I entered the ER floor and checked the charts that the nurse left me. 

"Hi Mr. Akerson I am Carmen, I will be taking some blood from you today" I said while walking into the room putting hand sanitizer on 

"Blood?! No one said anything about sticking me today" He said trying to get off of the bed, I put my hand on his and smiled at him reassuringly 

"I am highly trained to do my job without hurting anyone including myself, I'm needing to draw some blood from you so your Doctor can give you the best medical attention he can, but he cannot do that if you refuse to let me do this" I said, he looked at me and then nodding before turning his head away.

"See you're all done now keep this on for fifteen minutes" I said placing a piece of gauze over the small hole and placing a band aid on top  

"Miss. Jackson.." Alex says my name walking along me as I walk towards the elevators 

"Mr. Higgins, what can I do for you?" I asked walking into the elevator him following closely behind me

"You forgot this" He said lifting up my shirt and placing an envelope inside of my scrubs. 

"Thank you, this will be the last of the money." I said, if only this fucking elevator would go faster 

"Do you really want it to be the last of it?" He asked now in front of me, my cheeks turned red and I looked to the side. He moved and then the elevator stopped 

"What happened?" I asked looking behind him noticing he put the emergency stop on. 

"Ale-" He pushed me up against the elevator and pressed his lips on to mine, I tried following his speed but he was too fast. He slid his hands up my shirt cupping my breasts 

"Do you want this to be the last time?" He asked after removing his lips, I didn't respond I was in so much shock. He inched his hand down my stomach and to the edge of my pants, he put his hand down my pants and rubbed me over my underwear, my head went back as I let out a small moan. 

"That's what I thought" He said with a smirk before pushing the button and the doors opening up. I picked the tests off of the ground and hurried to the Laboratory 

I realized it was almost 2 so I rushed home and picked up my mom.

"How was work?" She asked as we drove back towards the hospital 

"It was good" I said with a slight blush to my cheeks, she watched out the window as I drove. 

"Want Coffee?" I asked as we waited in the room for her Doctor

"I'm fine honey" She answered with a smile.

A knock at the door caused our conversation to come to a halt 

"Mrs, Jackson. How are you feeling today?" Alex asked walking in with a big smile plastered on his face 

"I'm good...I wanted to speak to you about something" My mom said smiling at him shit does she know?

"Okay, go ahead" He said typing away at his laptop 

"I want to stop Chemo and all medications" My eyes widened and she looked at me apologetically 

"Mom...Why?" I asked, she grabbed my hand and held it firmly 

"I only have a few months left on this earth, I don't want to be at home sick twenty-four, seven. I want to live the last few months with my daughter, I want to meet the guy she's been seeing, and I want to smoke a blunt for crying out loud" She said crying/laughing at the end 

"Oh mom" I said wrapping my arms around her neck, I looked over at Alex as he smiled but you could tell it was off 

"Mrs, Jackson. I agree, but the last scan you did which was about three weeks ago came back. The cancer has reached your Hippocampus, the Hippocampus holds all of your memory basically. With that being said you could possibly lose your memory, it could start with you forgetting where you left your phone to not knowing who Carmen is." He said placing the scans in front of us.

"I figured" She said shrugging 

"Mom have you been forgetting things?" I asked quietly, Alex's eyes became saddened and you could tell he wanted to just hold me 

"Yes, I don't know when it started but yes I have been losing track of time, days and events" She said brushing a tear from my cheek
