The beauty is awake

"Then they lived happily ever after the end,"I said.

"Are you going home now uncle Luke?"

"Right after I tuck you in."

"Sleeping position."

"Sleeping position," she repeated. I pulled her purple and blue comforter over her until it reached her small petite shoulders.

"The doctors say I'm getting better."

"Yes."

"This was a sensitive topic,she rarely wanted to talk about her illness. She wanted to pretend she was a normal little girl, one that hadn't gone through as much pain as she had.

"Well goodnight,sweetheart."I said as I ruffled her hair.

"Goodnight, uncle Lukie." I chuckled and dimmed her lights.
I woke up to hear Sophia my house keeper banging pots and utensils in the kitchen. Damn that woman.

"Mr. Mendoza its time to eat."

"Yes,yes,I know,"I replied groggily as if she could hear me. I walked in to my en suite bathroom,strip and took a long hot shower enjoying my time without my annoying house keeper. I brushed my teeth,shaved and gurgled some mouth wash before I entered my room. I dried my hair and throw on a pair of cargo shorts and a black V neck Hollister T-shirt.

I ruffled my hair walking down the stairs when I heard Sophia called,"Mr.Mendoza your breakfast is getting cold."

"If I wasn't going to jail I swear I would've shot her a long time ago." I muttered.

"Andrew Mcleash here,ho..." -before he could get into all of that non sense I said "Andrew its me,cancel all my meetings or reschedule them for another time perhaps in two days."

"Seriously?"

"Yes seriously."

"When have you ever taken time off?"

"Precisely,that's why I'm taking one now. Cancel my meetings."With that I hung up the phone.

"Mr Mendoza,"Sophia scolded.

"I'll eat at the Hospital Sophia."I called as I opened the door to step out.
"But I made your favorite. Mash potatoes,bacon and cheese." she said teasingly.

"I'm still eating at the Hospital."

"And,"she paused a slice of double fudged chocolate ice cream cake.

I gasped, "You witch."

"Only doing my job sir,"she replied slyly.

"Goodbye Sophia."

"Goodbye,"she replied over the loud music she was blasting from the upstairs bathroom.

I rolled up to my brass iron gate in my white Lamborghini and honked for Dave one of my security guys to open it. As soon as he did I pressed on the gas and didn't let up until I was on the express way.

"How may I help you you?" Um I'm I'll be taking this customer says a brunette with big boobs and a blindingly white smile that could light a small country if need be.

"I'm good Candi,he'll be fine with me."Says a red head whose name is Mandy from her name tag.

"Could someone actually help me?"Ignoring me they glared at each other.

Then Mandy began,"Your such a bitch Candi you only want to serve him because he's hot and drove here in a Lamborghini."

"Aah ladies?"

"Oh and you're such a saint,"she retorted.

"Of course I am while you are a gold digging whore."

"Ladies,"I interjected sternly. While the red head looked away embarrassed the brunette stormed off eyes flashing with anger.

"Sorry."Mandy said, before walking away.

I headed for the door when I heard my name.

"Yes."

I turned to see a beautiful woman holding her hand out for me to shake,"I'm Elizabeth, the store's manager."

"I'm terribly sorry for that little dispute."

"Perhaps you should put professionals on the front lines instead of childish women with teenage dreams."

"Again I apologize. I willing to help you with what ever you need and a fifty percent store discount."

Since Chloe was waiting for me and I still had to get lunch I accepted her offer.

"I'm looking for a dress,for a five year old and a necklace. She'll like anything purple and princesses themed."I said narrowing down the dresses to choose from.

"How about this one?"

"No,"

"This?"She asked holding up a purple tulle dress.

"No,"I replied shaking my head.

This went on for quite some time and I was beginning to feel restless.
"How about..."

"Absolutely not,no little girl of mine is wearing cut outs.Who the hell put them in little girl's dresses anyway?"

"You know you are very hard to please Mr. Mendoza."

"So I'm told,"I replied dryly.

"Okay, this is you're dress and before you say anything,really look at it."

I stared at the dress and I didn't fine anything I could scrutinized. A moment passed before I said,"I like it,you're off the hook Elizabeth."

"Now onto the necklace."

"I have the perfect one."

She went over to the display case and brought out a small Dora necklace.

"This is it."

"Not bad."

"I'll ring you up, follow me."She sauntered off leaving me to follow,I handed her my credit card.

"Here you go and have nice day."

"Same to you Elizabeth."

Turning off the interstate onto a dirt track I pulled over."Hey,Sara,Can I get a hungry man's meal to go please."

"Sure."I sat down for a second when I heard my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"The patient woke up. She's confused and crying for someone named Caden."

Oh my God she's awake,but who the fuck is Caden?I thought my mood turning sour.

"Oh and Mr. Mendoza, Sandra told me that Chloe is crying and says she wants you."

"Thank you,Rose."I disconnected the call.

"Sara could you speed up the order I need to go."

"Its already done,"she said placing two paper bags on the counter.

My mind raced with suggestions about who Caden could be and I didn't like them one bit.
