Between the Sheets

Daddy

My dad passed away when I was younger, so it's just been mom and I for a while. We traveled a lot and never really stayed in one place for more than a month. Mom has had relationships with different men on and off throughout our travels. When I reached my teenage years , I started noticing how most of them men treated her. There was maybe one or two that would teart her as she was queen but the majority would treat her like a whore.

"Becky" Lawrence Green says to mom

Lawrence Green was a tall man with salt and pepper hair. He was from New Jersey. He had huge  brown eyes and aways wore blue jeans that where baggy on his and graphic tees. Today his shirt said "mind your on".

"You going be alright here by yourself" mom asked me as she brushed out her long black hair

Her lips was painted a bright red. She wore a tight blue dress with long sleeves. With black heels. Blue eyeshadow that made her blue eyes pop. She was beautiful. She was getting ready to leave me in the hotel we had been staying at.

"I'm fine mom, I am seventeen" I reminded her

She smiles again "I know, don't wait up for me. There's a number for the pizza place on the fridge. And I left Lawrence's number just incase you need to call" she tells me

"Becky we're going be late" Lawrence says

"Hold up, I'm talking to Alissa" mom tells him

"I'm fine mom go"

She smiles and we start to the front where Lawrence is waiting for her. He stands at the doorway.

"You should get her into a job" he says "She's old enough to work"

Mom looks at me "with the way we move she doesn't need one." Mom says

They head out, I ordered my pizza after they leave and then watch TV and go to bed.

It's late like midnight lite when I hear my mother come running into the hotel room out of breath.

"Alissa, Alissa come on get up" she calls to me

"Mom I'm tired can't it wait till morning" I say

"No we got to go now" she says

"It's late though"

Alissa Hunter get up right now" she shouts at me

I sit up, grabbing my things around me. I hurry to get out of bed.

"What's going on" I ask her as we rush out the door

"We have to leave" she says

"Mom, why" I ask

"Stop asking questions we just have to leave"

As we pull out onto the highway I see two police cars pulling into the hotel we just left. Did mom do something illegal? Where are we going? I'm still tried so I lay my head against the window of our blue Honda.

When my eyes open again we have pulled up to a huge white house with a huge green yard. It looked like a mansion out of a fairytale book.

"We're here" mom says with excitement non of the worry that was there last night

I look over at her worried "where is here" I asked

"Our new home silly. Come on"

She gets out as I just sit there stomped about what the hell was actually going on. Last night we were running for our lives now we are sitting in front of a billion dollar home.

"Alissa don't be rude get out meet your new daddy" mom says

Hold on she just say new daddy? I slowly get out of the car my eyes glued to the door as it opens up.
