A short drive to Queens, New York was a pleasant way for Alexa to start her first booking of the week. It was only a six hour package, too, which meant she would be back home with Clementine by the early hours of the morning. It was enough to put her in a great mood, lessening the task of faking it when she met the new client.
Directing her to the address provided by the client, the satnav in Alexa's BMW had brought her to a neighbourhood that was obviously home to professional people who worked in the city. It was a lot like the neighbourhood that Alexa and Clem lived in: houses built in the 1950s or 1960s, but kept up to date with regular renovations; gardens that were well-maintained, in a lot of cases by landscaping companies due to the owners themselves not having the time or motivation to do it themselves.
As ever, Alexa had stopped for a coffee before heading to the booking. While she had been in the Starbucks, she had gone over her list of new bookings. One in particular had made her smile. It was from Darren Young, a client she remembered well. His parents had paid for a moment of Bliss for their son because, as they saw it, he was incredibly shy of dating women. It had turned out that shyness was nothing to do with it. The reason Darren hadn't been dating women was that he was gay. He had been afraid to come out to his parents. Alexa had used their dinner date to convince him that doing so was the right thing to do, and had left him at the end of the night about to walk into his house and take the plunge.
'I promised I'd let you know how things went,' Darren's new booking form had said. 'I'd love to see you again and talk in person, so I'm booking a six hour package.'
Alexa had already decided that he wouldn't be charged the full amount for that booking when the time came, since she actually wanted to see him again, hoping that his coming out had gone well.
The satnav interrupted her thoughts, informing her that she was approaching her destination. There was no car on the driveway of the house in question, Alexa saw, so she pulled the BMW onto it. There were lights on in the house.
Sometimes, Alexa would have a final read through of the client's booking form when she arrived at their location. It wasn't necessary to do so this time. By Moment of Bliss standards, this was a fairly routine job. In simple terms, she was required to dress up in a sexy outfit, and spend six hours putting the client into bondage and pleasuring them. Nothing could be simpler than that, Alexa thought as she got out of her car.
Walking around to the back, she retrieved her travel case from the trunk. Inside, as ever, was everything she needed to make the client's fantasies, which were elaborately described on the booking form, come true. It was obvious that this moment of Bliss had been a long time in coming for the client. Reading the form had almost been like reading porn.
"Hopefully a repeat customer," Alexa muttered to herself as she locked her car. If she lived up to the client's expectations, which she was confident of doing, she had the impression they wouldn't be able to stop at one booking. It would likely only increase their appetite for more.
Alexa approached the front door and pressed the button to ring the bell. The door was opened about ten seconds later, and Alexa was dumbfounded by what she saw. She was standing face to face with Zelina Vega, of all people.
"Hi," Zelina said in a slightly sheepish tone. That in itself was out of character.
"I... don't understand," Alexa stumbled. "The name on the booking was Thea Trinidad."
"Yeah, that's a name I made up," Zelina confessed. "The truth is I couldn't stand it anymore, taking down all of the requests from clients, having them tell me what they wanted you to, then hearing back from some of them about what a mind-blowing experience. I have to have my own mind-blowing experience."
Alexa was in two minds. She didn't like having a booking made under false pretences. Fucking someone who worked for her also wasn't something she was exactly comfortable with. On the other hand, Zelina had paid for the six hours, and money was money. Besides, she was already there now. Driving away would be economically silly, and would likely see Zelina leave the company in embarrassment. The six hours would be easy money, too. To hell with it, I'll do it, she decided.
"Alright, Zelina. If you want a moment of Bliss that badly, you can have one. Show me in."
A/N: Welcome back to this story after a couple of weeks! I've been so into Set in Stone that I've struggled to fit this one in.
Did anyone see Zelina becoming a client? Be honest!
