Alexa expected her latest booking to be a breath of fresh air. Lately, it had been all bondage and sex. She couldn't really complain, it was her speciality after all. Nonetheless, it got a bit boring after a while. Today, there was going to be no sex, and certainly no bondage.
The address given by the client was a ground floor condo in a rather modest facility. Alexa wasn't particularly surprised, having read the booking form and learned that the client was only twenty one years old. It was young for a client of A Moment of Bliss, not least because a lot of people that age couldn't afford the prices.
Alexa pressed the button for condo number three on the intercom at the facility's entrance. She only had to wait a few moments for an answer.
"Hello?" a woman's voice said, sounding tinny through the poor quality speaker.
"Hi, is this Bayley Martinez?" Alexa asked in a professional, friendly manner.
"Yes. Ms Bliss?"
"Yes, Alexa Bliss here, A Moment of Bliss."
"Come in!" Bayley said excitedly.
Alexa heard a buzzing noise, confirming that the main door was now unlocked. She walked in, for once not pulling a travel case with her. All she needed for this booking was the modest black dress she had on, and a matching black clutch for her phone and other essentials.
"Hi!" Bayley called out as Alexa entered the building. She was standing in an open doorway just past the communal stairs.
Wow, she really does look young, Alexa thought. Her first impression was that Bayley was cute. That was the right word, as opposed to pretty. She had long dark hair, fixed in a rather odd ponytail that went to one side of her head. The smile she had on her face was warm and welcoming. Walking towards her, Alexa noticed that she was wearing a Toy Story t-shirt, and a pair of jeans. Nerdy, Alexa thought, thinking that it seemed to suit Bayley.
"I'm so excited you're here!" Bayley said loudly, looking like she was about to start bouncing up and down.
It was impossible for Alexa not to smile. Some people had contagious personalities, either negative or positive. Bayley's excitement was definitely contagious. "I'm excited to be here. I've been looking forward to your booking," Alexa replied.
Bayley led the way into her condo. Alexa found it basic, but well presented and clean. The furniture looked cheap without being cheap enough to be called crap. Overall, it looked like a person's first place after leaving home, which was presumably exactly what it was.
"You're aware of what I asked for, right?" Bayley asked as Alexa closed the front door behind her.
"I am," Alexa assured her. "You want to see what it's like going on a date with a woman. We're going to have dinner, then we're going to the movies."
"Yes," Bayley said, her cheeks reddening. "I've dated a couple of guys, and it hasn't felt right. I mean, they're the only people I've dated, so I don't know if it felt right or not. But it felt like it didn't feel right. None of that makes sense, does it?"
"I know what you're saying," Alexa said with a reassuring smile. The last thing she wanted was for her client to feel awkward.
Buying herself a moment to get over her embarrassment, Bayley led Alexa over to the couch in the condo's living area.
"The thing is, I would never have the courage to ask a woman on a date. I want to try dating a girl, but I just couldn't do it," Bayley said as they sat down beside each other.
"And that's where I come in," Alexa said sweetly. "So, let's say you've asked me out and I've said yes. We'll go on a date together."
"Will it feel real though?" Bayley asked cautiously. "I mean, you'll be acting."
"I'm a very good actress," Alexa said without even a hint of arrogance. "Trust me, tonight will be just like dating a girl who is into you."
"Great!" Bayley said, some of her excitement coming back.
"I have to say, you're younger than a lot of my clients. I hope I made myself look young enough to be your date?" Alexa had done her best with her makeup to look a close to twenty one as she could. Losing six years wasn't exactly easy.
"Girl, I don't know how old you are, but I'd guess twenty three. I don't have a problem dating someone two years older than me."
Alexa laughed, delighted with that response. "I'm twenty seven, so I'll take twenty three all day."
By talking about Bayley's age, Alexa had been hoping to discover how someone her age, apparently from a modest background, had been able to afford a moment of Bliss. Asking directly would be rude, of course, so she didn't push the subject any further.
"Do you get bookings like this often?" Bayley asked, her manner giving Alexa the impression that she wasn't good at making small talk.
"Often, no. That's why I've been looking forward to it. It'll be a nice change of pace."
"What is your most common booking?"
Alexa decided it was best to answer honestly. "Most common? People with bondage fetishes book me to help them live out their fantasies."
Bayley's eyes widened a bit. "And you're good at that?"
"You wouldn't believe what I can do with a roll of duct tape," Alexa said with a grin.
"Mind equals blown," Bayley said faintly. With that, she picked up her phone from where it had been lying on the table and checked the time. "Right, I think maybe we can head to the restaurant. We'll be a bit early for the table I booked, but that shouldn't be a problem."
"What movie are we going to see?" Alexa asked, following suit as Bayley got up.
Bayley spread her arms wide, showing off her t-shirt. "Toy Story 4!"
"Of course," Alexa giggled. "Let our date begin!"
A couple of minutes later, they were on the road. Bayley had been prepared to drive, but Alexa had offered to take them in her BMW. It spared the client the expense of the journey, and afforded her the chance to have a drink, if she was of that persuasion. Somehow, Alexa doubted Bayley ever touched alcohol.
"I hate myself for being curious about this, but what kind of bondage stuff do people get you to do?" Bayley asked, looking across from the passenger seat.
"All kinds of different things," Alexa said. "It depends what turns them on."
With her curiosity peaked, Bayley continued her line of questioning. "Okay, what happened on the last one you did?"
Usually, Alexa didn't talk to clients about other bookings, but she supposed there was no harm in answering the question. It wouldn't reveal anything about the person who had booked her, so there was no betrayal of privacy. Plus, who knew, maybe there was a chance of Bayley's intrigue leading to a further booking down the road. "The client wanted me to roleplay kidnapping her. I tied her up, locked her in a dark cupboard for a couple of hours, then took her out and moved her to the bedroom, where I 'raped' her." She made an air quote with one hand, holding the steering wheel with the other.
"Wow!" Bayley cried, eyes wide. "That's wild. Having a fantasy about being raped? That's... something. And they wanted you to lock them in a cupboard for a couple of hours?"
Alexa shrugged and gave a smile. "I don't judge. That was her fantasy, I made it come true. That's what I do."
"So, like, you really tied her up? Like, properly?"
Alexa didn't allow a reaction to show on her face. Yes, Bayley was showing interest in bondage, she realised. With that in mind, she decided to be more descriptive. "Yes, I tied her up properly. Rope around her wrists and ankles, hands behind her back. I gagged her too; stuffed a cloth in her mouth and taped it shut. She would still be there now if I hadn't let her go."
"Woah," Bayley said quietly. "And you enjoy that?"
"It can be fun, yeah."
They travelled in silence for a couple of minutes. Alexa wondered what Bayley was thinking about, but she wasn't going to ask. If Bayley's imagination was running wild, Alexa was prepared to let it.
"Oh, we're here!" Bayley exclaimed, pointing through the windshield at a theatre and restaurant complex.
"Great. I'm looking forward to eating," Alexa said, signalling to make a turn into the parking lot. She was now ready to get into date mode.
They were soon parked up and walking towards the restaurant's entrance. Walking beside Bayley, Alexa put on the happy, almost dreamy persona of someone who was on a date with a person they were fairly sure they were falling for. She offered Bayley her hand, and it was taken.
"Oh my, I feel... I don't know," Bayley said. "You're just so beautiful."
"Thank you," Alexa said, looking up at her. "You're beautiful too."
Bayley looked confused for a moment. In a way, that was good for Alexa. She was doing a convincing job as a date. She hoped that as the night wore on, Bayley would get into the swing of treating this as a real date, and would therefore have a good time, possibly discovering more about her sexuality along the way.
By the time they left the restaurant an hour later, Alexa knew for sure that Bayley was into women. She wasn't sure if Bayley had figured it out, but she definitely had.
Once they had gotten past Bayley's initial awkwardness and shyness, she had chatted away like there was no tomorrow. It had almost been like there had been a load of chatter bottled up inside her, which had started to flood out when Alexa got the process started.
During the conversation, Alexa had picked up on subtleties about Bayley expressions and choices of words that told her what the deal was. Bayley was loving the supposed date. She felt comfortable with a woman. Alexa had flirted a little bit, and had received positive responses.
Yes, Bayley, you definitely like girls, Alexa thought as they walked across to the theatre. They were holding hands again, this time initiated by Bayley. Alexa decided that once they were in their seats, it was time to kick things up a notch.
Always keen to do anything possible to please the client, Alexa insisted on buying their movie tickets and a Coke for each of them.
"I'm surprised you've not seen Toy Story already. You're obviously a big fan," Alexa said as they entered screen number four.
Bayley laughed happily. "I have seen it. This will be my third time."
"I should have guessed," Alexa said, laughing also.
The movie had been out for a couple of weeks, which explained why Alexa saw that there were not many people in the seats. There was no one up at the back, she noticed.
"Come on!" Alexa said, taking Bayley's hand and leading her up the steps all the way to the back row.
"I've never sat right at the back before," Bayley whispered, although the trailers hadn't even started yet.
"It's where you sit when you don't want people to see what you're doing," Alexa said in a very flirtatious voice, looking Bayley in the eye in a further attempt to seduce her. If she could get Bayley to kiss her, she felt like her client's desire to discover more about her sexual preferences would be satisfied. That was the goal of this moment of Bliss.
Bayley walked down the row of seats first, choosing a seat approximately in the centre. Alexa sat down next to her and made sure to sit as far over towards Bayley as she could. It didn't go unnoticed.
Shifting over, Bayley got up close to Alexa and took her hand again. "I've had a great night so far," she whispered.
"Me too," Alexa whispered back.
"I think I want to kiss you. Can I do that?" Bayley asked, deliberately looking forwards towards the blank screen instead of at Alexa.
So much for having to up the ante on the flirting, Alexa thought. "Yes, you can do that." She lifted a hand to Bayley's cheek, gently turned her head and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"Oh," Bayley groaned under her breath. Alexa felt the shiver of excitement go through her 'date'. "I'm tingling all over. I've never felt this before. Alexa, I..."
"You like women, Bayley," Alexa said gently. "I've been able to tell all night. Now kiss me. Let me blow your mind."
It was a good thing that Bayley had seen the movie twice before because she barely watched a minute of it on this occasion. With no one sitting near them, Alexa and Bayley spent almost the entire time kissing.
The credits rolling came as a shock to Bayley. "Oh! The movie is finished," she said.
"Can't say I watched it," Alexa grinned.
"I'm glad we didn't. Thank you, Alexa. This was everything I needed and more."
Alexa smiled broadly at her latest satisfied customer. "I'm delighted to hear it."
A/N: Thank you to everyone who left a review last time.
Bayley got what she wanted from her moment of Bliss. Do you think we might see her again?
The next client is a current champion in WWE. That's all I'm going to say. So who do you think it might be?
As ever, if you have any ideas for future moments of Bliss, contact me. :)
