MY SUGAR DADDY

Elizabeth Walker—Lizzie to all her friends—stared down at her cell phone and saw no notifications. Working in a coffee shop hadn’t been her idea of a good time, but it was close to the campus and provided her with enough money to get by. The problem was, she’d experienced a run of bad luck lately, and if she didn’t come up with some money soon, the landlord would kick her ass out of the apartment she lived in.

The visit she’d had to the hospital had completely drained her funds, and now she owed them money and her landlord money—not to mention it was also another school year, so brand-new books had to be purchased. The more she thought about the money she owed, the more she broke out into a sweat. Life wasn’t supposed to be this complicated. College should be the best time of her life, and yet, it was turning into a disaster. Pocketing her cell phone, she stepped up to the main counter with a smile on her face and began to take orders from the long queue of clients. At least she knew how to make a good coffee. Still, at the back of her mind, she wondered if anyone would ever consider her. Signing up for the website had taken really big guts from her. Okay, she didn’t exactly have much choice, but she’d heard a couple of girls laughing about it in class, and she’d been desperate. She’d signed up for a sugar daddy website. It was like an online dating forum, only you knew straight away it was going to lead to sex if you got contacted. She’d read through all the pertinent information attached to the website.
