The Sugar Daddy Club

There are times in each and every one of us lives, when we might find ourselves in unfavorable situations that we wish were different. These situations might have us experiencing a ton load of emotions and feelings. Different situations may have us feeling the four D's; down, discourage, depress and desperate.

As a result of these unpleasant feelings, we might consider various possible solutions or ways out of our situation. After all, many of the situations that we might fall into, may cause us to become miserable. And whenever one starts feeling miserable, it might lead to desperation.

Desperation is what drives us to make unconventional decisions in finding a way of escape. However, no matter how unconventional some of the solutions we might come up with, there is a small chance that one of those solutions may work in our favor.

A few minutes after walking into that dreaded place I called work, the news that greeted me was one that should have made me rejoice but instead it upsets me.

"Fired?! What do you mean I'm fired!?" I yelled at my boss wait, my former boss Charlton.

"Exactly that. I am very sure that you heard what I just said." Was his response.

"I told you, you've missed three consecutive days from work already. So, now you are out. Sorry but that is just how it is. Someone else who really seemed to be in need of this job showed up and offered to fill your place. I couldn't just sit around and wait until you decided to show up again. Time is money Morgan; you should know that."

"Charlton, I was sick. You knew that. I called you and informed you of that. You said it was fine and that you could just get someone to fill in for me for the three days. It was supposed to be until I got back. You never said they would be filling in for me permanently or better yet replacing me."

"I didn't?" Charlton chuckled. "Oh, well my bad. Tina is filling your place permanently, sorry Morgan but it is just business."

"Yeah right. You know what Charlton, I'm out of here." I scowled at him before turning to leave.

"Morgan wait," Charlton called out causing me to stop. "Look, I know you're in college and you might be in need of the money and I'm starting to feel really bad about just letting you off like that. Especially without giving you a notice or anything. You were an excellent secretary. So, how about you and I work out a little agreement?"

"An agreement?" I asked confused as I turned back to look at him.

"Yes, you know like a little mutual arrangement between you and I." Charlton gave me one of his universal dirty smile eyeing my body. "If you agree to keep my company at my home some nights, I won't have an issue with assisting you financially."

"Eww," I said wrinkling my nose in disgust. "You're a sick perverted pig you know that Charlton. Forget about this job and your little arrangement. I'd be a sick deranged and equally repugnant person to even consider getting with someone as disgusting as you. I hope this Tina stick around long enough to find out what a pig you really are. And for the record, this place is a dump anyway. I would be better off working anywhere else but here."

"So you're really going to walk away?" Charlton called out to me. "You need this arrangement! "

"Go to hell Charlton!" I yelled at him before flipping him the middle finger.

I often wondered if I was the only person who finds it a bit awkward and uncomfortable to still live with your parents and also depending on them financially after becoming an adult. I was 21 years old going onto 22 years in the coming months-that's in August- and I was still living with my parents.

They didn't mind me continuing to be living with them, in fact they would rather have me living there for as long as I wanted. My parents obviously loved the idea of me still being at homeespecially considering that I was an only child. However, I found the idea a little uncomfortable every day. I mean, I was now a grown adult right? I should have been able to start providing for myself or at least be contributing something to this household. That was the reason why I had decided to take that lame part time job as Charlton's secretary at Charlton's Auto Repairs.

The thing was that I started community college a year later than normal. I attended the Moorevalle community college and my department was the Faculty of Education. My college was approximately a thirty minutes drive from my home.

I was a sophomore in college but would soon be turning a junior for the upcoming semester. I was majoring in Language education at the secondary level. So I was basically training to become a high school language teacher and that programme was a four-year course. The programme was demanding and required a lot of reading and studying but I enjoyed it because this was my actual dream career. I had always wanted to become an educator.

Since I was still enrolled in college and my part time job did not really provide much for me to pay for my schooling, get my own place and fully support myself all on my own, my Dad was the one who pitched in. Dad basically still supported me and paid for my school fee. My Mom was a housewife so she didn't exactly go out and work, she stays home and take care of the house and stuff. My Dad on the other hand, was a deputy sheriff.

I thought that it was a bit too pressuring for my father to handle all these expenses and responsibilities, so I had decided to get a part time job. I knew that having a part time job was better than having no actual job. At least with my part time job, it would assist with paying my tuition and do any other little thing for myself so I wouldn't have to solely depend on Dad.

My father even still offered me a monthly allowance as he thinks that he was still responsible for me. But, like I said before, it felt weird taking money from him now that I was no longer a kid. After all, he was already doing so much for our family, I didnt want to feel like a burden.

I had been working for over three months at Charlton's Auto Repairs. While I was still attending school, I worked on the weekends and on days when I had no classes but since I got holiday, I was there every single day. The pay wasn't much but it was still enough to assist me financially- a little was better than none at all right?

However, a few weeks ago I had started noticing that Charlton was trying to get ‘touchy feely’ with me. He was consistently making certain remarks and comments to me which were really inappropriate and totally unprofessional. I had told him that he was making me uncomfortable with his sexual innuendos and other antics and he had agreed that I was right and he would stop. That was an empty promise as it continued and I threatened to report him if he continued.

My threat to report him was exactly a week before I got sick and had to take the days off. And now Charlton decided to fire me-claiming that it was because I had missed three days. I wasnt stupid though, I know that he let me go because I wasn't in agreement with his little games. For heaven’s sake, the guy was like three times my age. He could have literally been my grandfather at 63 years old. If I was being correct, I think that my maternal grandma was around that exact age.

What the hell would I be doing with this freaking old hairy creepy man? The thought alone repulses me and make my skin crawled. I would rather be jobless than to take on that role. However, I really needed to find another job soon.

"Hey boo," I answered my phone as I saw my best friend Kimberley calling.

"What's up babes? I'm just calling to find out if you want to go out with me tomorrow?" Kim asked me.

"You're asking me out on a date?" I chuckled.

"Yeah, in a way it is actually a date," Kim responded before letting out a laugh. "I need a shopping buddy or better yet a shopping date."

"Kimmie, I'm afraid I might have to pass on this month's shopping trip hun." I said to her.

"I still can't find another job as yet, so I'm afraid that I'll have to say no to shopping from now. I have to save until I get something else. I only have a few dollars left from my allowance and I am not about to ask Dad for any or break my account. Sorry boo, Ill have to turn you down this time"

"That's okay sweetie, maybe I too need to take a break from shopping for a while. Although I'm a bit disappointed but I guess I'll take a break from shopping for a while too." Kim responded. "It’s not going to feel right or the same going shopping without you hun and I cannot shop if you arent shopping too, thats just insensitive."

"Aww, Kim you're so sweet. That is why I have to love you so much." I said to her with a smile on my face.

"I know you love me. Whats not to love? Kim asked cockily which had me snorting in response. But I love you too boo boo. Anyway, how about I come over tomorrow and we just hang out? Watch a couple movies, eat leftovers? A standard girls’ day in?"

"Kim, now that sounds like something that I can afford." I laughed. "Now that is a date."
