Chapter 4 He's Got A Boner

• TRICIA
• I walked out to see James talking to someone, and I was surprised he stood there talking instead of clearing plates, after serving table 10. I came to serve, as I turned i was faced with the person James was talking to, I recognized him.
• Wow!, he's so handsome. I tried to compose myself, while I approached them, appearing professional.
• “Hello, You are here again. Welcome sir, is there a problem?'’
• “Yes. I was just asking him about you, the problem is that i don't know your name and that's why it took time.
• I smiled when James rolled his eyes and left. He's gay and hates it when men came for the ladies instead of him.
• “Sorry about that. By the way, i'm Tricia. Is that the only problem?.”
• “You remember my daughter Avala?.”
• “Yes. I do.'’
• “There's something important i want to talk to you about her.”
• Why do i have a feeling that i know exactly where this conversation is heading to.
• I gestured to an empty table by the corner, “Okay, please have a sit.” As we sat down, i listened as he explained the situation, his eyes pleading with me to help him out.
• Jeez. This is ridiculous.
• He wants me to attend his daughter's arts and craft day in school, saying it's because he's going to be busy on that said day. I would have loved to help, but i feel sorry for the little girl, it will not be fair leading her on like this. If i attend, she will keep thinking i'm her mother and i don't want to decieve her.
• "I'm sorry, sir, I can't do it."
• He looked at me dissapointed, but didn't drag the issue. He passed his card to me and wrote something at the back. "If you change your mind," he said, handing me the card, "I'll pay you $50,000. You can call me or come to my work or home address."
• Immediately he left, James came over to tease me about him. "Looks like you've got an admirer, and someone's cherry is going to get popped soon. " he said, grinning.
• James and i are pretty close to each other, he knows i'm still a virgin and likes joking with it when we're alone. But I wasn't in the mood for jokes. "It's not like that.”
• “So, What's going on, then?"
• I sighed, showing him the card. "He offered me $50,000 to attend his daughter's arts and crafts day," I explained.
• “That's a lot of money," he said. "And you're hesitating?, C'mon, girl think about your mother. I'll cover for you, i'm not on shift that day. We can make it work."
• I thought of my mother's condition, and the medical bills that were piling up. I thought of how much this money could help us. I made up my mind to do it for my mother's sake. ”Fine. I'm going to do it.'’
• *********************
• I rang the doorbell again, I've been doing so for a while since i got here. i'm just hoping i'm at the right place.
• Luckily the small space in the gate opened, and I recognized the person peeking through it. It was Donald, or will i say Doctor Donald. I didn't say so, his card said it.
• He opened the small enterance and stepped out. The first i did is to smile at him before saying, “Good morning sir, i'm here to accept the offer you gave me.'’
• “Really?.'’ Out of the blue, his arms wrapped around me and he planted kisses on one side of my cheek two times. “I really appreciate, thank you so much.'’
• I'm surprised by his reaction yet i smiled and asked. “So what would you have me do?.'’
• The minute i asked the question, i don't know how it happened but my eyes travelled to his legs. He's wearing a red short together with the singlet covering his upper half, I don't blame him for dressing this way since it's about twenty minutes to seven in the morning, Though i blame him for something.
• He's got a boner.
• Am i safe with this guy?.
• DONALD
• “Let's go inside and discuss the details," I said, stepping aside to let her in. As we walked into the living room, that's when I realized what I had done, seeing how my lower man is stretched out to a side.
• I hope she has not seen it because i'm sensing her uneasiness, I felt embarrassed and apologized to Tricia, “I'm so sorry about the... the...'’
• Tricia smiled, letting me know it's no big deal. To her it may not be a big deal but the hug and kiss has affected me more than i expected it. Since Sarah left, i decided to celibate, so this feeling right now is something else.
• “Come with me.'’
• I led Tricia into my house to sit in the living room while i went to Avala's room to wake her up.
• I don't know what her reaction would be if she sees Tricia here. “Honey, i have a surprise for you, but. You must shower first.”
• Avala rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, but as soon as she heard about the surprise, she perked up. She batted at me, and I helped her into the bathroom after the quick shower i dressed her in panties and singlet. But she was more interested in the surprise than getting dressed. "Daddy, tell me! Tell me!" she begged, tugging on my shirt.
• I chuckled and tried to explain, “Do you remember the lady from the restaurant?...” But before I could finish, Avala ran out of her room excited.
• I grabbed her school uniform and followed behind her, smiling at her enthusiasm.
• As i walked downstairs, Tricia was sitting on the couch, looking a bit more at ease and what I saw took my breath away. Avala is hugging Tricia happily, her little arms wrapped tightly around her. "Mommy, will you join Daddy and me in today's arts and craft class?" Avala asked excited.
• “Yes, sweetie. I'll be happy to join you.'’
• “Yes!” Avala exclaimed, clapping her hands as she jumped up and down. "Yay! Mummy's coming with us!" she exclaimed.
• Avala ran to me, tugging on my hand. "Daddy, go ahead and have your bath. Mummy will dress me up."
