Ramon.

I woke up next to Rebecca, I looked at her as she's sleeping like a little fragile baby. I stroked her softly as I thought how much longer it'll take for her to wake up, and look at me with her big eyes then my phone ding.

I took it from my pocket and read the message. "Dad said you should pick his calls! It might be important so take it and mom wants to see you." She's not our real mom but she craves real mom's compassion, I sneered putting the phone back in my pocket when suddenly it started ringing I put it to silence then picked the call before looking at the caller ID.

"How are you?"

He asked and I'm fine, I replied.

"I spoke with Damon, how can you think that I, your father, would hate who you are or who you choose to be. Enough of this over the phone, come see me, and your mom."

She is not our real mother. I yelled at him and instead of getting angry like he always does, he agreed with me.

"I know but you call her mom and love her like the son she can't have, please continue to do so for your father and for the family."

When I have time, I'll visit okay. I said. 

"One question!"

Yes. I replied waiting for his response.

"Who is the woman in your relationship, you are the other person?"

Father. I said.

"Oh okay, your dad is merely curious haha, don't mind me."

He said and hung up.

Whenever he would bring up the topic I would charge the subject, but who thought he was so cool about it and I used to think he hated who I am and would avoid him plus ignore his calls.

I looked around and I didn't see Crissy, I left the room and went out looking for her but didn't find her. Where is she? I asked after what she told me about that doctor, I don't wish to leave Rebecca alone for too long then another message came from my brother asking about Rebecca, so I decided to tease him a little and said she held my hand tightly today. He didn't reply back to me, I laughed and called David and instructed him to send Kyle and Brad over to stand guard.

Soon after, Crissy came when she saw me outside then she rushed up to me. "What happened?" She asked and gave her a demanding stare and asked. Where were you? "You were asleep and I didn't want to disturb you, I went for a stroll! I'm sorry, Mr. Connor Sir, it won't happen again."

Oh, I see then that's fine don't worry about it. I said and went to the bathroom, I really needed to go oh boy after I washed my hands and decided to leave the bathroom I bumped into someone. I rarely allow myself to walk into people especially straight men but this was not my fault not at all.

Istepped back and looked up at the man standing before me then I heard someone called out. "Mr. Jaes." I was so stunned by the handsome man standing before me, jet black colored hair, deep ocean blue round eyes, small lips, pointed nose, athletic body built, he's just a bit taller than me.

I could help smile a little but then it fades away.

•Three months ago•

"Let's break up."

He said hugging me from behind and I thought he was joking so I laughed it off, the next day he didn't come home and I thought once he's probably busy. Yeah, busy but when he didn't come back to our apartment for at least three days I decided I was going to call.

Someone answered his phone and I asked where he was and what was he doing for you to take his calls? "Excuse me, but what kind of friendship do you have with Derek?" Who are you? I asked. "I'm his friend and you?" I'm his boyfriend.

I replied and she went silent for a moment then I heard yelling. "Derek, you were out messing around but telling me you need space! Not only did you cheat on me your wife and the mother of both your children, but a man Derek you cheated with a f••king man. Here, your 'boyfriend' called you but looked like he too just knew of you being married."

I heard the slam of a door follow up with a hello, and I hung up immediately. After days of him trying to see me and talk about it, I decided to tell Damon about it and I never see nor hear from him again. Like what was he going to say about the fact that he's married with kids, and I was his mistress or in this case, the man on the side. I won't let myself hurt anymore, and I think it's best I vacate myself from here quickly.

I stepped aside trying to leave when he pulled me back holding my chin in his hand, "where did your smile go?" He asked and I pulled his hand down and left, I decided to go see mom after I texted and asked her if she wanted to meet outside and she agreed. I still wasn't ready to face dad even though he sounded cool about it's just something I'm not sure about.

I met with mom at a restaurant about an hour away from the hospital, but that wasn't the problem! That guy from the bathroom early showed up at the same restaurant. "Are you okay? Ramon, you look a bit pale sweetie are you even hearing me?" I snap back to mom just in time to stop her from looking behind at the man who is not only standing behind her but also looking at me. I look away as he smiles sitting down facing me with a welcoming smile on his face, he winked at me before turning his attention to the woman before him. She then looked at me and smiled at me, I raised my eyebrows in question then I looked away from them and started talking with mom.

Mrs. Mary Ann Simmons-Conner. A woman who stood by us through thick and thin even after mom died she still sticks around, then dad marries her not long after mom died and asks her to be our mother in name however they never share any loving stuff except for when in public they even have separate rooms. She may not be Damon and my real birth mother but she loves and cares for us like our real mother and sometimes I hate it somehow I feel she's trying to replace mom.

A woman came over and joined us as she sat down, I asked who is this? "My name is Christina Hendricks, but you can call me Chris or Christie everyone else does." I am not asking for your name, let me put it this way, who invited you, and what rights do you have to sit here? I asked her and mom cleared her throat. "Sweetheart, I'm here because your father and I thought it's best you know who and what I truly am."

When she said 'your father and I thought' I looked up stunned because father seemed cool over the phone, here they are setting up dates for match-making, why can't they just accept who I am for who I'm?

"Ramon, I'm gay and this is my girlfriend Christie. Like I said before your father and I thought it's best you know first because you seem to think he hates who you are or what you have become, ever since you were small you liked things girls like.

Yourfather was best to let you experience It, and maybe you might change but you didn't and it was okay. But after that guy Derek you haven't dated and your father, think it's his mistake for making you feel unaccepted so we decided to tell you why I don't sleep with your father."

I must have missed the part where she said she is gay, I was too distracted finally I pulled it together and asked. You are gay? Since when? "Long time, and we want you to open up and enjoy your life." Oh, I am fine, don't worry. I said. We enjoyed our meal and talked for hours the whole time that guy sits and watches me.

After we left the restaurant I went home and showered then relaxed before heading back to the hospital, "this is the third time I've seen you today could it be faith?" I turned to my left to see that man who was in the bathroom walked up next to me. Faith? You wish don't even think about it. I said and walked away from him and took the elevator to the floor Rebecca is on but it's still the same, she's just laying there sleeping like a dead person. 

I was having small talk with Crissy getting to know her when the door opened and we looked up, I swallowed in surprise I stood up and was about to ask who you are? But he spoke before I could. "I'm doctor Jaes, Miss, Crissy requested a change of doctors." 

"Thank you, Mr. Jaes, it's not that we didn't like the first doctor, it's just that..."

"It's okay, miss, I am actually very pleased to be her new assigned doctor." 

He looked at me directly and said.

"This is Mr. Conner, sir, madam Sir is at work, you can meet him next time."

Is she a maid or a professional? Mr. Jaes walked over to me and raised his hand for a handshake and I started to feel uncomfortable just then she stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jaes, but sir Connor, can be very skeptical so it would be best if you like not to try and touch him without his approval."

She said. To him like she is my lawyer or something? Talking professional protection.

"Yes, my apologies."

He said pulling his hand back.

"It's okay, you didn't know."

She said to him then he looked at me and smiled weirdly before stepping back and putting all his undivided attention to Rebecca, he injected something into the tube connected to her arm and writes, something on the clipboard in his hand! I didn't seem to mind because Crissy was over him watching everything like an eagle protecting its chicks.

After 'Mr. Jaes' was finished he leaves and Crissy come over to me, she started looking me up and down before she asked: "Are you gay?" Yes, I replied and she said that explains it! Explain what I asked her. "That explained why that doctor."

What about him I asked and she asked: "Have you lost your sense of seeing when someone is into you?" I laughed at her and sat down and she asked: "Do you want to see if I'm lying?" What are you going to do? I asked her and She called me to come to stand before her. What I said when I reached up to her, Ah my f••king nose what the hell are you trying to get fired? "No, but now you see I tell you the truth." She walked back to the bed and pressed the emergency button.

He came running in and checking Rebecca, "She's fine, for what did you press the button?" Crissy pointed at me. "His nose… it just started bleeding and I… I didn't... it just..." Who the hell is our maid? It's okay calm down he said to Crissy, cutting her off then he looked at me with a shocking surprising look on his face.

"Are you okay?" He asked rushing to me holding my face to his hand and wipe my nose as he looked at my face care, I bet Crissy is enjoying this... he locked eyes with mine for a moment he was just staring but then he started moving in and Crissy cleared her throat. "Ahem, is he going to be okay? Doctor Jaes." He broke his gaze and said. "He's okay but I think it's best to get a better look up close."

Howmuch closer does he need to get? We were practically breathing down each other just presently what is this man saying? "Allow me to guide you to my office, Mr. Conner." I was about to speak but wasn't able to speak... "Of course, Mr. Jaes' please boss cannot know his brother is hurt, please help me?"

She sounded like a panicking bird trying to save it's life! This girl need a leading role in Chicago's best movies what the f••k? Mr. Jaes' took my hand and walked me down the hall to his office, I hesitated to enter the room and he said he won't bite unless I want him to.

I think I'm fine, there's no need for an external check up doc… "How can I leave my patient with a bleeding nose because he said he's fine, no I can't do that! I'm a doctor and it's right to check a person even if they're not bleeding." He cut me off and said.

We entered his office and he put me to sit down then he started putting on gloves after he's finished, he came over and started cleaning my nose, etc after he said my nose is fine but if my nose bleeds again I know where his office is. I got and was about to leave when he grabbed my waist pulling me back to him.

"Put your number here!" He said holding his phone before me. I was going to refuse when I recall what mom said about opening up and enjoying my life. Why should I give it to you? my phone number! I asked him. "So I can call you."

Then he whispered in my ears maybe invited you over to my place, I was unavailable to speak so I just punched my number into his phone and then the phone ring I picked the phone and answered it then I looked at him questioningly. "I'm making sure you're not playing me a fool, see you soon Mr. Connor."

He said with that welcoming smile again and I moved hurriedly back to Rebecca's room. "What's with you cheeks Mr. Connor?" Crissy ask me with a smile, leave me I said and poured myself water, and start to drink it hurriedly. "Woah, easy with the water you might choke on it." The door opens.

"Mr. Connor you…" cough³` he rushed over to me knocking my upper back softly. "Are you okay?" It's just water. I said as I looked at Crissy who's enjoying every moment and giving thumbs up. His pager went off beeping and he was trying to ignore it, but then his phone ringing and he took the call and left us standing staring at each other.

Are you happy I asked her and she smiled and asked did he kiss you? No. "Did he hug you in any kind of way?" The scene of him holding my waist and pulling me close to him replay and I quickly said no he didn't. "Okay, if he didn't why? Are your cheeks so pink? Hmmm?" My phone vibrates and she rushed over and took it from me.

"I would like to see you before surgery! I won't be able to see or talk to you for 15-hours. Please do me a favor and be in my office in an hour. J." She read his message out loud and sneaky devilish smile marks upon her face, this man waste no time… what are you waiting for sir? She said pulling then pushing me to the door. "Get, get going."

She said spotting my butt as she pushed through the door, good luck Connor Sir, she said after I was out the door. I walked the hallway to his office slowly wondering if I should not go or go? I stopped at the door as I was going to open it, I pulled my hand back and turned away to leave. "You came early and now you're trying to sneak away why?" I turned around and he was standing there with his phone in his hand, as he walked up to me and held my wrist I was going to ask what's wrong but he said come with me. Why where are we going? I asked. "I'm a doctor, if they need me the first place they'll look is in my office, I need to spend exactly 45 minutes with you."

He said, pulling to God knows where.

Why? 45 minutes, I asked.

"Because as the leading surgical doctor, I need to be there making sure no mistakes are made."

Oh but where are we going? I asked and before I could look at what's written on the door, we stopped at, he opened it and pulled me inside before he turned back to make sure the doors locked.

"That girl was so protective of you! Who is she?"

He asked demandingly as he walked up to me, "aren't you going to tell me? He asked. He lifted my face to his making sure I keep eye contact while answering him. She is a maid. "I almost thought she was into you but now." But now...hmmm.

He pressed his lips on mine, stopping me from speaking. It was unexpected and watery, I kept my eyes open for the first five seconds.

Rebecca.

I waked up with a terrifying unstoppable headache, I opened my eyes slowly realizing I'm inside of a room, hospital-like, what am I doing here? Then the memory reminded me… I was on the floor when that maid appeared telling me, I hurt Ramon, I got up to go apologies and it wasn't intentional while running down the stairs that maid kicked my ankle and I felled but just before I closed my eyes I saw her smiling at me.

That was it until I woke up here I looked around then at myself, I see tubes attached to my arm... I raised my hand to my head feeling the bandage wrapped around my head. Being sold seems okay until someone tries to kill you.

Tears falls down my eyes to my ears, I laid here thinking about how the hell I'm going to leave that place or the entire city. They're all billionaires and with a little cash they could find me easily anywhere in the country, and I certainly do not wish to go back there, I want to be as far as possible.

I must try to leave while in the hospital!!! My phone? I haven't received it back yet... I could try and remember Jake's number and ask him for help as soon as I get away…. The door started to open and I quickly closed my eyes.
