2.

Spencer was in awe at the sheer size and luxury of the suite. She hadn't been in as big a place since she got kicked out of her mother's mansion. Spencer ran over to the balcony and whistled at the view over L.A. "Wow, seriously Ashley… you need to see this view." Ashley made her way over to the balcony, not bothering with the sky line and just looked at Spencer, "Yes, it's beautiful isn't it." Ashley observed her keenly, wondering what was going through Spencer's mind. Finally Spencer tore her gaze away and turned her attention to Ashley… "So, you're paying a $100 for me right now… and we only have oooh… 47minutes left… just what are you going to do with me?".

"I haven't a clue, I hadn't exactly planned this."

"Well, do you plan everything Ms. Davies?"

"Err.. no I'm not really a planner, but I usually feel in control when I invite someone up to my room and this is all a bit new to me."

"Well… ok what do you like? Are you normally in the habit of picking up strange girls?" asked Spencer.

"Well actually... I have to confess that's a yes, I just don't usually pay them for their time. Do you mind if we just talk for a little bit?"
Spencer sat down on the sofa. "Talk. Yeah... uh... okay… so Ashley, are you in town on business or pleasure?"

"Business, I'm recording my new album this week"

The doorbell chimed, interrupting their conversation, so Ashley made her way over to the door to admit the waiter who'd brought the champagne and strawberries up. Depositing them on the coffee table, he made his way back out of the room after Ashley handed him a tip and thanked him. Ashley made her way over to the champagne, popping the cork, filling two glasses and handed one to Spencer, while she flopped down on the sofa next to her.

"So, do you have a Girlfriend?" Spencer queried while supping at her champagne.

"No. I don't really have time for one… it's just always so hard to keep someone in my life when I'm on the road or touring, it takes too much effort to make it work"

"Maybe the right person just hasn't come along?" suggested Spencer.

Ashley pondered on that for a while… "Yeah, maybe. Why don't you try a strawberry? It brings out the flavour of the champagne"

Ashley handed Spencer a strawberry and watched as she wrapped her luscious pink lips around the red fruit, sinking her teeth in and chewing slightly before taking a long gulp of champagne. Spencer sighs…"Mmm… pretty good…. Listen I appreciate this whole seduction scene you've got going on, it sure is a novelty, but let me give you a tip: I'm a sure thing, okay? And, I'm on an hourly rate. Don't you think we should just move this along?"

"You seem pretty eager to try and please, Spencer"

"What can I say, it's part of my job description. If I don't please, I don't get paid. I don't get paid, I can't pay rent."

"How much would you take for the entire night?" Ashley promptly asked

Spencer was taken aback by that, but recovered quickly, "What to stay here?... All night?... uh I don't know…$500?" she suggested

"Done. Now we can relax. To tell you the truth, I don't like being alone in hotels, it gets so boring and lonely."

"I can't ever imagine you'd be a lonely person Ashley" offered Spencer

"Well I guess you could say I'm not lonely in the sense that I'm always surrounded by people... but very few of those people actually get close enough to spend quality friendship time with me or really know me... you know?"

"I get where you're coming from yeah. I suppose I get to spend most nights with some stranger and while they keep me company for an hour or so here or there, there's no permanence, no connection with them, no emotion"

"Exactly" replied Ashley, feeling like someone in this world did possibly understand her.

They chatted for a little while longer, before Spencer excused herself to use the bathroom.

-------------------------------------------------

Ashley sat there pondering her evening. It wasn't like her to just randomly pick up a hooker, hell she didn't need to, women threw themselves at her. But there was something about this young woman that had attracted her attention as she confidently approached her car, so she decided to go with it.

After about 10 minutes, Ashley started to get a little worried because Spencer hadn't returned. Had she passed out or ran off somehow? She lightly tapped on the bathroom door to ask if she was ok. Spencer mumbled she'd be out in a minute, which Ashley didn't hear, so she gently popped her head around the door, saying she was sorry, she didn't hear what she'd said. Spencer was startled slightly at the sight of Ashley and hid something behind her back. Ashley, with her eyebrows knitted together asked, "What's that behind your back? What are you hiding?"

"Uh nothing."

"All right, look. I don't mean to pry and I have no right to tell you what to do, but I do not want any drugs here. I can't be around them. I've been there, done that, and nearly ruined my life, so if you're going to be doing that, I'd rather you just get your things and your money and leave," said Ashley, firmly, but not in a nasty tone.

Spencer with her eyes down cast, looking slightly guilty said in a small voice, "Look I'm sorry, I don't do drugs, all right? I - I may be a prostitute, but I'm not a junkie... I had a strawberry seed stuck in my tooth ok?" And she dangled the dental floss she had behind her back in front of Ashley's face, a hint of colour rising in her cheeks as she was embarrassed.

Ashley surprised, apologised and urged Spencer to continue, while hovering behind her.

"What? Are you gonna watch? Do you find tooth flossing kinky or something?" queried Spencer

"No, I'm going! It's just that, uh, very few people surprise me" admitted Ashley, grinning, before skulking out the door, finding it oddly amusing and kinda sweet that this girl off the street was flossing her teeth in her penthouse.

----------------------------------------------------

Finally Spencer made her way out of the bathroom and joined Ashley back on the sofa. Ashley was now watching some comedy TV and munching her way through some snacks from the mini-bar. Ashley turned to Spencer and stared into her bright blue eyes, mesmerised. Spencer too, was drawn to Ashley's deep chocolate pools and it took a moment before Spencer was able to ask, "What do you want from me?"

Ashley gulped. She wasn't used to people being so forward… "Err… I don't know. What do you do?"

"Everything… But I don't kiss on the mouth," replied Spencer.

"Neither do l" said Ashley, relaxing into the sofa cushions, as Spencer unbuttoned Ashley's jeans, slipping them and her underwear off.
