"You're late" Jenny said as soon as I walked inside her cabin.
"Not my fault" I held my hands up. "I was damn tired and worn out I'd overslept and hadn't even known"
"Hmm... anyways here's the money" she passed me an envelope.
I opened it before her, and looked inside to make sure I'd gotten the full amount.
"Satisfied?" she asked.
"Well I got deceived before so I didn't want to take the chance again" I explained.
She shook her head at me. "Anyway your client called and cancelled tonight"
"Oh thank goodness for that" I sighed in relief.
Jenny chuckled. "On your way then. I'll let you know if anything comes up"
I nodded and turned away heading back home.
As I entered into my apartment the whiff of cooked breakfast beckoned me, I walked towards the kitchen to see Nicky making pancakes.
"I'm starved" I plonked my bag onto the floor and settled myself on the stool at the breakfast bar.
"Well it's a good thing I'd made breakfast then?"
"hmm.." I nodded grabbing a pancake with my hand and bit into it. "That is delish" I told her as I munched on the pancake.
"Well a thanks wouldn't hurt" she chuckled passing me another.
"Thanks"
"How was it?" she asked me.
"You know the usual, have sex then leave" I shrugged.
"How long will you do this?" she asked me settling next to me with her own plate.
"Its not by choice or something"
"It is now. Dave isn't here neither is anyone forcing you now"
I shook my head, "You don't understand, its my helplessness now. No one will take me on to work and to survive here this is the only option I've got left. I've got another mouth to feed"
"You can go back to your parents" she mentioned.
"And what? Have my father kill himself before me and probably my mom killing herself as well"
"They love you"
I smiled. "Yeah they do once they find out what happened they wouldn't, they'd detest me instead. Its best they still believe I'm dead"
"Fine. But I'd still keep on saying the same thing over and over. Stop before its too late" she pressed her hand onto my own.
"and I'd still say to you its too late" I answered, standing to my feet I headed to my bedroom wanting the solace of my own bed. I pulled the blanket over myself and closed my eyes letting sleep take over me.
I woke up with a start hearing the loud rapping on my door.
"What?" I yelled frustratingly, I was hell tired and who the hell had woken me up.
"Have you seen the bloody time? Its time to get Alysia"
I looked at the time and jumped right off the bed, heading to the washroom, I brushed my teeth really quick, washing my face I rubbed it dry with my face towel, I didn't bother getting changed as I had still slept with my morning clothes on, I simply slipped into my shoes and headed out the door grabbing my car keys.
I reached the school gates just in time, all the children were getting out, since Alysia was only 4yrs old, I walked to her class and called for her name, she had come running towards me smiling widely with her brightening eyes.
"Mommy" she yelled excitedly, I picked her up into my arms cuddling her.
Alysia, my helplessness, the one whom I was working as an Escort.
I placed her down cupping her cheeks I pressed my lips to her forehead. "How was your day baby?" I asked buttoning up her coat.
"We pwayed in the sand mommy"
I smiled listening to her, standing to my feet I laced my fingers with her leading her back to our car. I opened the door and settled her into her seat and buckled her in, settling myself behind the wheel I drew away.
"What else did you do honey?" I asked looking at her through the mirror.
"I fell sandbox"
"Aww you fell down? Did you get hurt?"
"No. Mrs Wiams (Williams) put a pwaster on my knee"
"Did she kiss it better?"
"No mommy" she giggled covering her mouth with her palms. "Only you can kish it better"
I smiled at her through the mirror. "Alright. Once we get home, I'll kiss it all better"
"Awight" she agreed.
"Mommy can we get chips?"
"You want chips?"
She nodded enthusiastically.
"How about we go get Nicky then the 3 of us can go and eat?"
"Yes yes" she bounced excitedly. "I want micky anty"
I chuckled silently at her pronunciations and turned right at the traffic lights heading into our street, parking at the side I beeped for Nicky, since the lazy cow didn't bother looking out the window to check I text her, once she joined us I drove towards our favourite diner to have our afternoon tea.
"Hey" I turned around to see who called me, and saw Danny an old client of mine, he gave me a cheeky grin, which hadn't gone unnoticed by Nicky, I looked at Alysia who was busy eating her chips, I didn't want her attention flying to me especially when a client was around, I didn't need them to know I had a daughter.
"Excuse me" I pushed the chair back and headed towards him, gesturing to him to follow me, going to a secluded corner I turned to see him.
"What the hell did you call me for?"
"Wanted to ask if you're free this week?"
"Couldn't you call Jenny for that? She books the appointments if you've forgotten"
"Nah I haven't. Saw you here and thought to ask you"
"Well Next Time Call & Book" I shot at him. "And one more thing don't ever try to cross my path when I'm not working" I warned him.
He nodded knowing I'd gotten my ex clients who harassed me battered. "Sorry" he muttered, I walked away without sparing a second glance.
I was settled at the back with Alysia in my arms while Nicky had offered to drive back home when I'd gotten a call from Jenny.
"hey"
"You've got an appointment"
"Oh. When?"
"Tonight. 8pm, reach the Marlon Hotel, room 1276, client name Rishabh Kundra"
"If I had enough brains to remember that I would've but I don't so text me whatever you've just said"
"Fine memory loss" she laughed calling me the nickname she'd given me.
"How long?"
"The entire night"
"Hmm" I hummed back then bid bye to her.
Looking down I noticed Alysia had dozed off and saw Nicky looking at me through the mirror.
"Got an appointment" I answered her unasked question. "Entire night so need to take my toothbrush just in case I tend to stay over"
She nodded at me, I leaned back resting my head on the headrest with my eyes at Alysia, she had her arms around me sleeping ever so peacefully, I caressed her cheek mindlessly with a faint smile playing on my lips. I was to sell myself once again tonight to another man whom I don't know, one whom I had no knowledge of, one who is a complete stranger.
