ATHENA

chapter 8

"Where the fuck have you been" Taj asked, her eyebrows pulled together with worry written all over her face. We just met like few hours ago and she's this worried about me.

"I was around" I answered nonchalantly

"You was around where?" She asked again

"And who are you to be asking me? The last time I checked, you're not my mother" I said

"No bitch, that's where you're mistaken. I'm your mother and you need to open your mouth now and tell me where your sexy ass had been to" she smiled

I was supposed to get angry because she called me a Bitch but I wasn't angry for some reason and I'm even growing to love her more

"I'll tell you but you have to promise not to judge me" I tell her. She scrunched her brows as she awaits my answer.

"You know Alessandro right?" I asked her. He face light up a hundred shades

"Alessandro as in the boss?" She whisper yelled

I grabbed into her arm and take her somewhere more private, I wouldn't want people listening to our conversation.

"Yes, Taj! That's the one" I said happily

"Gosh Gina, what did you do!" She singsong

"I didn't know who he was at first. He blocked my path when I finished my session on the stage and asked for a private dance. I was going to reject the offer but he offered me 50 thousand dollars" I told her

"You gave him a dance? That's boring. I thought you did something more than dancing with how much your face is glowing" she teased "but wait this is the first time he'll be asking anybody for a dance, that's weird" she added

"Well, that's not all. I also might have let him go down on me" I whispered. Her mouth dropped. For a second, I thought she was frozen.

"It's your first day and you already fucked the boss?" She exclaimed

"Shush" I tried silencing her by covering her mouth with my palm "we didn't have sex, we just did oral" I admitted

"Just oral? Mr Russo gave you oral and you call it just?" She shouted

"Can you please stop shouting, someone might hear you" I said

"Okay, okay. I won't shout. So how was it? I need you to give me the full details" she beamed

"It was everything" I answered dreamily

"Ouch bitch, from the look on your face. I already know it was everything" she smiled

"Let's get back to the room" I urged. I walked away and she followed right behind me and led me back to the backstage area. I went straight to my locker and changed back into the cloth I wore from home. I hugged Taj goodbye and exited the club.

I walked to my car, unlocked the door and get in. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier, about him. There is something about his aura that screamed danger but I don't care what it is. I still want to explore more things with him.

****************

Today marks two month since my mom has been in the hospital. Her color was already returning to her body and she was no loner as pale as she used to be.

"Today marks two months and she's been progressing" Dr. Phillip has stated with a smile. I couldn't help but alight in happiness

"Does this mean she can come home anytime soon?" I quizzed

His smile dropped and my stomach sunk. "Your mother is progressing but we still have to keep her here in order to monitor her. If things keep going how they are and we manage to remove more cancer cells, I believe she can go home within the next week or two" he replied
