I don't own any of the rights to the characters and don't intend to make any money from this story. The plot and story are all mine I'm just borrowing the main players.
Chapter 1
Waking up is such a shitty feeling. Knowing that I have a full day and night to endure is just plain soul destroying. Still I have no choice I need to eat and pay rent, so I need to work. Rushing through my basic morning routine of coffee and a shower, I leave the apartment just as my housemate is coming through the door 'It's slow out there today one an hour if you're lucky, I left Alicia and Ash arguing over the liquor store patch so you best get moving if you want a decent spot'.
'Thanks Kel, I'll see you later' I shout as I'm already going down the stairwell. It's ridiculous really I'm rushing to get a "good spot" like there is ever a good spot to turn tricks, just more popular spots or easier pick up points. Still the rent is paid a lot quicker when you get in the fast spots, plus the sooner I make my money the sooner Jayceon will let me go home and I could use an early night for once.
'Well Kel was right it's slow as fuck today' I think to myself. I've been walking my stretch of the block for the last hour and nothing. I know Christmas time costs but surely not everyone is broke, at this rate I'm not gonna make rent and well I'll be lucky to afford bread let alone a Christmas meal. Fixing my hair I make my way to the edge of the road to let the guys get a better look at me as they drive past. I find making eye contact encourages them to stop, makes them feel like you want them like you find them hot and can't help but stare. Really they repulse you and every second you spend with them kills you a little, but whatever pays the bills is what you have to do. My tactic works as a black BMW pulls in stopping short and waiting for me to come to him. I inwardly sigh, this car is expensive which means the guy driving has money, no doubt he'll want the full list of extras, standard $20 blowjobs are never enough for the guys with money.
Putting on my game face I stroll up to the car as seductively as the cracked sidewalk allows. Despite my distaste for money guys getting regulars is always more desirable than not knowing if you'll make enough to eat that day, plus it's kind of safer well it feels safer at least. With the sun visor down and the blacked out windows I still can't make out what the guy looks like. As I reach the passenger side window it slides down slowly, revealing to my surprise a woman, an incredibly hot thirty something Latina woman. It takes me a few seconds to regroup before I manage to make sentences, well questions would be more accurate 'Hey lady you lost?' She looks a little taken aback by my question, almost like she's questioning whether she is indeed lost, her reply is barely above a whisper and she hangs her head as she delivers it 'no I'm not lost, I was looking... Well I was looking for you know...oh god this was a mistake I'm sorry...I'm just going to erm go'.
Her nervousness is incredibly endearing it's not often you come across a newbie. She seems pretty disgusted with herself and couldn't even bring herself to use the word hooker, I'm willing to go out on a limb and wager this is her very first time. She's too good to let go, having her as a regular is not something that I would even count as work, I'd fuck her for free if she asked getting paid to do so would be a bonus 'You sure you wanna leave baby, leave me here all alone on this corner? You sure you don't want me to come with you instead? I know what you came here for baby and I can give it to you'
The Latina stares at me silently contemplating her next move, she doesn't speak she simply unlocks the door and gestures for me to get in. Once I'm in she pulls away heading west, she still hasn't spoken and she looks pretty tense. I guess I will be doing all the talking then 'erm, so do you have a destination in mind? There is an empty parking lot a few blocks ahead or the motel off fourth?' Again she looks taken aback like she was totally not expecting me to suggest places. She shakes her head and stops at the traffic lights 'I was going to take you home, I err...is that not what I should do? Should we use the motel?' she chews her bottom lip frantically as she awaits my reply her fingers tapping the steering wheel.
'Wow she really doesn't have a clue does she' I smile inwardly; this will be easy money I'm sure. 'Well it's not the norm no but it's totally fine, just for future reference though while I have no intention of doing so, some of my...well colleagues would rob you high and dry if you took them home, then come back the next day for the rest' I felt the need to teach her she couldn't go around in my world so naive. Her eyes bulge at my advice 'I never thought of that, err are you sure you're not going to rob me...that's a stupid question like you would admit it if you where. Come on Callie get it together what are you thinking'. Her voice trailed off as herself scolding continued internally. Deciding it best to cut in and reassure her before she talks herself out of this whole thing I jump in 'I won't rob you I promise, if you like you can go in ahead and move anything valuable or we can use the motel, it's totally your call'.
Eyes once again fixed on the road she simply nods and puts her foot on the gas. I stay quite the rest of the drive. About 15 minutes later we pull into an underground apartment block garage. Callie which I'm assuming from her earlier rant is her name, ushers us into the elevator without a word. Every time I look at her I find her head firmly bowed and her eyes resolutely facing the ground. We exit on the fifth floor and it is only now that she speaks 'so this is it. Do you want to come in?' her tone is almost unsure like I will reject her offer, like I'm not a sure thing 'of course baby, lead the way'. I don't bother answering just walk past her into the apartment.
Callie's apartment is nice a little to modern for my taste but I can appreciate the style she's went for, some photographs adorn various sideboards mainly what looks like family but a couple of Callie and a very attractive man, one in particular has Callie draped over his shoulder as they both smile for the camera. This could explain her nervousness, she has a boyfriend. I don't have time to ponder as Callie follows me into the living area holding out a glass of juice to me 'I'm sorry I don't have much of a selection it was this or water. I'm Callie by the way I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier, do I...I mean can I ask your name or is that not allowed?'
'Yes it's allowed, I'm Arizona. It's nice to meet you Callie' for some reason all seductiveness has been sucked form me by her offering me a drink, bringing me home and bothering to ask my name she has thrown me.
'So I think you already know I don't know how to go about this. In fact I don't think I should do this, I mean I've never...even you know... with a woman, I mean I wanted to and I did some things but I didn't well you know. Then the whole Erica thing happened...it's been so long and well Mark said he'd went to you know all the time and that it was fun, he said that I needed to get laid and I'd enjoy it and learn some things, but I can't do it. I can't do this to you to anyone, I can't make you do things you don't want to...I'll take you back, give you the money for the hour and take you back' Callie barely took a breath throughout her entire monologue, clearly my earlier tactic of jumping in before she picked up steam had been a good one. 'Callie I have no idea what half of that meant but this Mark guy is right, I will make sure you enjoy it I promise' talking someone into sex is not a normal part of my day but if I could get her to relax, well I might have a chance at persuading her to make this a regular thing.
'Im sorry Arizona, I shouldn't have picked you up I don't know what I was thinking; I'm not this person...God why am I such a fuck up?' Callie looked so defeated as spoke it made me want to hug her but I knew that would only spook her more, no I'd have to ease her into this. 'Don't apologise Callie, it's ok, I'm ok with this I want to be here, if I go back I'm going to get picked up by some guy who I can guarantee won't be anywhere near as nice as you I would much rather spend time with you. Why don't we just go lie down, if you don't want to do anything then okay but a lie down would be nice'. She was making this difficult but this could the easiest money I'd ever make.
'Yeah ok do you err err want to shower or anything or I have a spare toothbrush and stuff?' Callie looked so awkward asking me this. I understood what she meant I wouldn't want someone who'd been turning tricks all night in my bed either and I wouldn't want a mouth that had just been wrapped around a dozen cocks anywhere near me.'Your my first today Callie, it was a slow morning so I haven't touched anyone else, but I can shower and freshen up if you like'. She nods at me and looks back to the ground. I follow her to her bedroom and she points to the bathroom telling me she will get fresh towels. I really can't complain about her request since her shower is to die for, I have honestly never felt so relaxed than I am after five minutes under the jet stream. Not wanting to give her too much thinking time I brush my teeth and dry myself down. Looking around for my cloths I find Callie has placed a pair of sweats and t-shirt for me on top of my neatly folded clothes. I'm not sure whether she's just incredibly naive or she's going for the girlfriend experience but either way I go with it. Looking in the mirror I realise I have washed all of my make up away, my slight tan will have to suffice until I get my purse from the living area, my normally bouncy golden curls are wet and bedraggled looking more dirty blonde now wet, my blue eyes are as blue as ever but this is a long way from my work attire and I'm not sure looking like this I can make Callie want to come back for more.
'Hey thanks for the clothes but are you sure you don't want me to wear my own?' I ask as I enter the bedroom 'oh and if you give me a sec I can sort out my makeup'.
'No Arizona you don't have to, you look perfect' the compliment slipped from Callie's mouth and from the look on her face shocked even her. I couldn't help but smile at her this was a crazy day but it was turning into one of the nicest I've seen in a long time. 'thank you Callie, I just want you to be comfortable and for this to be enjoyable for you I'm here to please'
She didn't acknowledge what I'd said instead addressing the money side of things 'so how much do you charge? Is it by the hour or...I think it's been about an hour so far so errrrr...' she doesn't finish so I answer 'depends what you want but if it takes longer than an hour it's an hourly rate, it's $50 an hour'.
I don't know what I'm expecting her to say but what comes out of her mouth is definitely not it 'how much for the day? oh and night...for 24 hours? Is it just twelve hundred or is it more because it's all at once?' My jaw dropped and I had to scramble for words 'You want me for the day?' surely she isn't serious, a few minutes ago she wasn't sure she could go through with this now she wants 24 hours. If I played this careful I could make enough money for two months rent, if I told Jayceon I was with Callie until say 10 tonight that's another 12 hours I don't have to cut him in on.
'Yes I'd like you to stay, if that is ok? If it's allowed?' Callie reaches over to her bedside dresser she pulls out a small pile of hundred bills and counts out twelve, putting the remaining few back in safely. Handing them to me she sends me a sheepish smile almost childlike. Looking at her sat cross legged on her bed looking down at her hands she looked so vulnerable, she intrigued me and I couldn't help but wonder what was eating her up inside 'It's none of your business I'm just here to work' I tell myself, let's face it I'm not getting paid to be her shrink I'm here to get her off. Speaking of 'ok that's the money taken care of why don't you tell me what you want do first' I tell her as I reach over and secure the money in my denim jacket pocket.
'I thought we're just going to lie down for awhile' her voice is soft and I can tell she's nervous again. 'Sure that's fine we can just lie down until you're ready' I tell her trying not to spook her again. Climbing onto the bed I encourage her to lay back and she follows my lead and we lay on her bed, both facing the ceiling neither saying anything. We stay this way for a few minutes until she makes the first move, her hand finds mine and she simply interlocks our fingers never breaking her gaze from the ceiling above her. Her touch is electric just holding her hand has my head spinning, this isn't suppose to happen I'm not suppose to enjoy this I never have before I've never enjoyed any trick, none have ever produced a reaction from me. No, when I work I'm dead inside it's like my body is there but I'm immune to feeling anything, it's the only way to get through it.
Not knowing what to say I wait for her next move. I don't have to wait long before she begins to speak 'are you tired? It's crazy I've had plenty of sleep but I'm just so sleepy' out the corner of my eye I can see she's looking at me. I turn on my side to face her never letting go of her hand 'this is all on you Callie, if you want to sleep we sleep, if you want to fuck we fuck, if you want me to go down on you while you go to sleep we can do that too, just tell me what you want and I will do it'. I instantly regret my boldness when I see her face pale somewhat 'no, no you don't have to do that...no I wasn't asking you...I mean I was just saying I'm sleepy, shit I'm so sorry'. I stroke a few strands of hair behind her ear, seemingly soothing her before I continue on 'Callie you don't have to apologise, I'm a hooker, you picked me up I'm assuming you did so for sex, I'm also assuming you're pretty horny or why else stop for me. Look you have a need I have the means to satisfy that need, so why don't you tell me what you had in mind as you pulled up in front of me'.
Callie pales further and looks incredibly uncomfortable, I can see her composing herself and when her words come out they are shaky and deafly quite 'when I pulled up I just thought you were pretty, nothing else just how hot you are. I wasn't really expecting it I wasn't expecting to stop. My friend Mark said I should pick someone up to well you know but he said that I shouldn't go downtown because I wouldn't find anyone I'd like. But well curiosity got the better of me and I was just looking but then I saw you and well you know the rest'. I'm used to this I know a lot of the girls on the block are rough at best; it's mainly the drugs that make them so, men see me and it's like their jackpot I'm relatively cheap and don't look like a junkie. I smoke a bit of dope and some crack but not as much as the rest and not for as long so I'm still pretty decent looking. It's why Jayceon sets my rates higher than most of the other girls. 'That's sweet Callie I'm glad you like me and I'm glad you stopped. But really it's ok to tell me what you want'.
Looking back at the ceiling she almost whispers 'I don't think I want you to touch me, I mean I do want you, but I just don't want you this way'.
'Well what way do you want me Callie because this is me, this is who I am and this is what you're paying for?' I'm genuinely confused now, what is she expecting from me? She's looking away from me, when I reach out and turn her face to me she's I see silent tears making tracks down her cheeks 'hey, Callie please don't cry we don't have to do anything you don't want to. I promise you can have me whatever way you want'. My attempts at soothing her backfire and she audibly sobs. I really don't want to lose this job its easy money but I don't know what she wants, she takes a few minutes to compose herself before facing me again. Her eyes are red and puffy and she sniffles, I can't help but think how adorable she is and given any other situation I'd have asked her out, but instead here I am being bought by her. 'I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do either' Callie's words seem to continuously surprise me she is strangely endearing.
'Look Callie I have rent and bills to pay and I have literally nothing in the cupboards at home, whether with you or not I will be hooking today and tomorrow and well each day after that, so regardless of your wishes I will be doing things I don't want to do. Please believe me when I say I would much prefer to be with you, here in this beautiful apartment, in this comfy clean bed than with anyone else anywhere else' my little speech does the trick and she snuggles into me, I thank the heavens my easy day is back on the cards as I stroke her back. I think I've figured her out, she's the type who wants the girlfriend experience she wants the gentle caress and the sweeties and darlings. Well she's in look I happen to make the perfect girlfriend even if it's just for the day.
Happy with my analysis of Callie I find myself once again shocked by callies words and in need for a new explanation for what she wants from me 'I can do that I can give you that, we will stay here in my apartment in this comfy bed. You don't have to do anything else you can just stay here. Oh and I'll stay here too and you can keep rubbing my back, yeah that's it problem solved then we both get what we want'. Yeah it's official I have no fucking clue what's going on what does she mean we'll just lay here, is she planning to let me keep the money? Or is this her way of telling me the deal is off again?
