Obsessed With Cheating

ALEXA MARTINEZ

'' I need a little money Alexa , don't go with out giving it to me '', Just as l was making my way downstairs to the kitchen , a deep morning raspy voice stopped me short in mid motion . Hearing the voice , l instantly knew it that it was no one else but my mother Sarah Martinez.

'' Again money ? Mother this isn't.....'',. '' Your husband got paid last night, didn't he ? , Then the 10usd will be enough for me '', She didn't allow me to finish up the sentence. "You right he was paid last night but that doesn't mean that money has to be wasted " ,l retorted while turning to look at her .

'' I don't care with whatever you saying , l just need money to get my hair tinted so that l go look for a job but before that I have to look young and beautiful '', She replied while running her fingers through her short red brown hair. Hearing her say that , l just shook my head in disbelief. My mother was seriously unbelievable .

'' Are you going to give me the 50usd or ?'', When l didn't respond sooner, She sneered out again with anger in her eyes. '' Alright mother am going to give it to you '', l responded quickly with a sad smile on my face . I knew my mom well , she was a liar . She wanted the 10usd to go and buy marijuana or wine instead of tinting her hair. Despite knowing that , l still had nothing to do about it , she was not only my mother but she had barely had a job in the five months , she was jobless but still she always needed money to buy marijuana and expensive bottles of wine.

'' Honestly mother am gonna give you 45 usd only , go to the nearby Maggie beauty College , it the most cheapest in the all town '', l humbly tried to explain everything to her. '' What the actual hell are you talking about ? and how many times do I need to tell you to stop calling me''mother'' , my name is Sarah Martinez'', She spoke out in a raised up voice.

'' Every one in the town , bar and hotel keep telling me how am too young to have an old twenty five years woman all because of you , Ignoring the fact that you have three children , why do you keep calling me mother and yet you know that Sarah Martinez is my name '', Before l could respond to her , She continued. '' But Sarah.....'', Feeling a bit awkward, l began but then stopped in mid sentence . '' I know you find it difficult to call me by my name but l gave birth to you when l was still 15 years old, so give me all the 50usd because l would have aborted you , you owe me , don't you hun? '', She spoke out with a fake smile before she reached out and rubbed my cheek just like a loving mother.
