Mr. Grey

Chapter 5 Gold Digger

(Lola's POV)

"Marry me" he said again, looking into my eyes

"What, I'm sorry, I don't even know you" I said to him, shaking my head

He smiled slightly

"And you're already married" I said to him

His smile dissapeared

"No I'm not, not anymore" he said

"Why would I ever marry?" I aske him

"Listen, I was married when I was 16 to my wife, Debbie and the mother if my child, Emmett. Last year, they both got into a car and didn't walk out of it. The car exploded and they were in it. Now, my father wants me to remarry, to show the news reporters that I'm not a player....which I'm not, I'm just having, I don't know, fun?" He told me, sitting down in a chair, unbottoning his suit

"I'm sorry for your loss, but what does that have to do with me?" I asked him

"You seem like a good person, you have givin up what seems to be your dream, to take care of your mother, now you're working two jobs at the age of 18 and if I'm not mistaken, you have little time, before you lose the house you're living in. Marry me, I'll make a contract, in front of everyone, we will be the perfect couple happy and loving. Behind the cameras, we will just be friends. I'll take care of your mother's expenses. I'll make sure that she has everything she needs to get better. And you'll be able to go back to art school." He told me

I didn't know what to say

"If you want, it'll be something temporary, you'll live with me in my house, but we will sleep in different bedrooms. It's just for a while, just so that I can get my father off my back" he promised

I still couldn't find any words

"Just think about it, I'll be working all day tomorrow, you can find me there with your answer" he said and started walking away

I wanted to say no, that I didn't need him or his money, that I wasn't some gold digger, but I couldn't speak

Once I had turned around to look at him, I realized that he was gone

"Family members of Samantha Gravett?" I heard someone ask

I turned around to find a tall man with brown eyes, in a white lab coat

"I'm her daughter" I said to the doctor

"Hello, I'm doctor Shasha. I'm the doctor who will be operating on your mother. I just came out here, to get your signature" he said to me, handing me a clipboard

I sighed it and handed it back to him

He smiled kindly at me

"Alright, the operation will take about 6 to 8 hours. If you wish to leave for a little, that is fine, just leave your number incase of any emergences" he told me

"Thank you, but I'm not going anywhere" I told him

Once again he smiled and out his arm on my shoulder

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, you'll be fine. I can tell" he said and started to walk away

"You can tell what?" I asked him

"I can tell you're a fighter" he said them disapperd into another room

I couldn't help but smile, me...a fighter, I was about the whimpiest person, anyone could ever meet

(9 hours later)

"Miss Gravett" I felt someone grab my arm lightly and shake if lightly

I didn't want to move, it was the first time in 2 days in which I properly had any sleep

"Miss Gravett?" I heard someone ask again

I didn't open my eyes

"Lola?" I felt the person, pull my hair out of my face

I opend my eyes to find Shasha looking down at me

"Hey, your mother just got out of surgery. She is alright, right now she is resting. Your mother should be up in about 2 or 3 hours" he told me

"Is she going to be okay" I asked him

"She should be alright, as long as she goes to her therapy and takes her med" he told me, smiling

"Therapy?" I asked him

"Yes, oh and she will need another operation, to make sure that she's alright and that the cancer isn't back" he told me

"Cancer? I thought you didn't know what it was?" I asked him

"We are assuming it's cancer" he told me

"Alright, how much will this all be?" I asked him

"More then you think" he said, getting up

I got up alone with him

"When can I see her?" I asked Shasha

"In a few hours, you should go home and get some proper rest" he told me "you look exhausted" he told me

"Jee, thanks" I smiled at him

"Miss Gravett, I don't mean to worry you, but your mother needs the other operations and the therapy, we may not know what is making her so ill, but if you want her to get better, then she needs this" he told him

I nodded my head

"You know, you can call me Lola, you don't see much older than I am" I told him

"I'm 21" he told me

"And I'm 18" I said

"Very well Lola" he told me

I smiled at him and nodded

"I'm Shasha Boam" he shook my extended his hand

"Lola Gravett" I took it and shook it lightly

We smiled at eachother, until a nurse came out and called him

"Go home Lola, your mom's not going to wake up till tomorrow, it's five in the morning" he said as he walked away

"Shasha?" I called out

He stopped walking an turned to look at me

"Thank you, for helping my mom" I told him and walked away

I looked back to see him smiling at me

I got home in 20 minutes and walked straight I the kitchen

"Food, food, food" I chanted, looking all over the place

I had to give up my shift tonight at the bar, to be with my mom.

I walked over to the picture on the wall, where we kept our money.

Pulling out the box, I looked at all the money that we had in there

"Not even $3000" I said, setting the money back in the box

I turned around to look at the picture of my mom and I

It was when she was much healthier than she is now

She was smiling, as was I. We were both sitting down on the steps of our house, outside

I smiled back at the memory

We were both happy and healthy, living out perfect lives

"She has to be okay" I said to myself

I hid the money back where I had it and sat down at the table

I knew exactly what I had to do
