Loving the Doctor

Chapter 6 - The King Charm

Chapter 6 – The King Charm

Jessica Holding

POV

What the hell was that? Had he not heard word I just said? As if Adam would care if I had an ex or not. All he cared about where to put his d**k in next. Which was one of the reasons he agreed to let me bring Anna to Chicago.

I watch his retreating back and I do not stop Damon, I knew Damon better than anyone did. He was being unreasonable which meant no matter what I said he would not listen to me.

Was he really upset because I still had it or because I have it to Anna, that necklace was one of my most prized possessions. I treasured it more than I did my life. I only reason I let Anna wear it was because I knew was responsible and would not lose it. of course, I did not tell Damon that, it would be useless, he only heard what he wanted to hear. Damon has always been that way, when he is angry or upset, he would only hear what he wanted to.

Man, he really has turned into an asshole. Now I did not find his habits cute, it was freaking annoying to speak to him.

The man I love so dearly has changed so much in the last twelve years, had I done that to him?

Did he turn into this man because he was free from the responsibility of taking care of me. I have no idea what happened to him.

One minute he was fine being sweet with my daughter and the next he was a jerk to me. he was a weirdo.

I smile thinking about how I would tease him calling him a weirdo all the time, when he was acting sweet. Damon loved playing with my hair. He was the reason I started growing my hair out. he was the reason I had not cut my hair since we were fifteen. I frown, what the hell was wrong with me. he was just being a jerk to me and here I am smiling at the thought of him.

Why would I smile at that? He obviously hates me now!

Finally, Anna was finally ready to go home, I could finally leave this God forsaken place. I had a day, and I was so freaking done with it.

“Mommy where’s Dr King he promised to sign my cast?” Anna asks

“I’m sorry baby but Dr King is a very busy man, maybe next time, okay?” I force a smile.

I did not want to talk or talk about Damon right now.

She does not say anything but nods, I knew she was disappointed, but I really did not have the energy to deal with Damon today.

“Jessy Bessy.” I knew that voice anywhere.

I smiled turning to see little while not so little anymore Axe. How he is almost as big as Damon.

“Axe?” I ask in shock. I almost did not recognize him. He had his hair cut short. He was wearing police uniform. A police officer.

He appraises me. “My God Jessy Bessy you look good.” He tells me before pulling me into his arms and hugging me so tightly he nearly broke my ribs.

God, he still called me that terrible nickname he and Beck came up with.

“To be honest the last thing I expected from Axel King was a police officer…” I tease.

“I was voted most likely to be arrested so I became a cop” he jokes

I laugh. “God I can’t believe how big you’ve gotten”

“You have no idea.” He winks

I laugh at him. He was still the same Axel was a big jokester and prankster when he was younger.

“You know a lot has changed since you left…” he says looking behind me

I follow his line of sight. I see Anna standing behind me holding her necklace pendant. She did that whenever she was nervous.

It was a habit I was hoping she would shake.

I smile and hold out my hand for her. she walks closer to me. “Axel, I want you to meet my daughter Dianna, Anna this is a friend of mine from when I stayed here in Chicago” I introduce them

Axel does not give the reaction I thought he would. He looks at Anna then at me. then at Anna again. He looks at Anna again. I have never seen Axel Lucas King speechless in my life…

“Motherfucker, oh s**t sorry. I mean sorry… She looks so much like you; it is so weird. she looks more like you than you look like you.” He speaks

I look at him confused. She looks more like me than I look like me.

“Is she Damo’s?” he asks

I shake my head. “No, she’s only seven” I tell him

“Oh…” he nods slowly “I see…”

I forgot Damon’s brothers used to call him Damo to make him sound tough. But the name always made me laugh.

“Hey there Princess Dianna, I’m Axel.” He smiles. He bows

Anna giggles. “I’m not a princess silly.”

He gasps placing his hand in front of his mouth. “You’re not?” he asks

She giggles louder. “No silly. I am Anna.” She speaks

“Did you know there is a princess named Dianna. She was very pretty like you are such a cutie.” He tells her

She blushes. My seven-year-old daughter blushes at Axel’s flirting.

She walks closer to him. “You look just like my doctor.” She tells him. one thing about the Kin brothers, they did share a lot of facial features, Axel was always thinner than the other two, he did not grow his hair out like Damon did, Beck used to grow his hair out in high school as well. He loved his older brother and wanted to be just like him growing up.

It still amazing how much Axel has grown since I left twelve years ago.

“Your doctor?” Axel asks narrowing his eyes at me.

And here I was reminded of Damon and how crazy my day has been.

I do not say anything…

“Yes, my doctor, he’s really cool.” Anna says excitedly

He looks at me “Damon? You saw Damon?” he asks

I bite my bottom lip and nod at him. its not like it was a secret.

His eyes widen in surprise. But before he could say anything someone calls him over. “Officer King it’s time to go.” A female officer calls him

I look at her, she is beautiful, her bright blue eyes shining, her ginger curly hair pulled into a ponytail.

I look at Axel, he is rolling his eyes at the officer. “You’ve got to come to family dinner on Sunday, momma and pops would love to meet Princess Anna” he winks at Anna

She giggles at him

“No, I don’t want to impose” I decline his invitation.

“Nonsense you are family Jess. Ever since Damon popped your cherry you have been my sister.” He jokes

I roll my eyes at him. I could not help laughing at him. I wished to be his sister so badly. I would have been his sister-in-law if Damon and I had gotten married, if my father had not died so young.

“King!” the women shout again for him to come over.

He shakes his head. “I got to go. I am seeing you Sunday right Jessy Bessy?” he asks

I shake my head. “Bye Axey Waxy” I tease

“You will never repeat that. You are going to destroy my street cred Jess.” He complains causing Anna to laugh

“Bye Princess Dianna” he winks at Anna

My daughter lets out a giggle and blushes.

I smile at her. she is seven and she could not resist the King charm.

I take Dianna’s hand and we walk out of the hospital. We catch a cab home.
