The Prettiest Woman

“Then why would you come and meet me if you weren’t prepared to have sex? What kind of games are you playing?”
“Okay, I no longer feel comfortable. You have a great evening, I’m going to go home.”
He looked shocked that I was preparing to go home, “I can give you a $10k a month allowance. Most girls would jump at that opportunity. It would change your life.”
“Well, I’m not most girls. I’m a grown ass woman.” I replied as I lowered myself off of the bar-stool.
He grabbed my arm, “You’d be stupid to leave.”
He caught me off guard; I grabbed my glass of water and splashed it in his face. I took that opportunity to run out of the restaurant. Everyone stared but I didn’t care. As soon as the Chicago breeze hit my face, I felt better. I headed directly to the train station and didn’t look back.
I tried to call Jessica when I got on the train but it went straight to voicemail. I then tried Jaime who picked up immediately. She suggested that I come over to her place so that we could talk about it. Her home was quite a few stops before my own so it didn’t take me long to get near her house.
Soon I was sitting on Jaime’s couch and spilling my guts about what occurred.
“Oh my god, what a dick!” Jaime exclaimed, “You probably need to get off of that site, or maybe next time I can come with you and be your security.”
“I don’t know. Maybe I just got unlucky. A guy can be an asshole no matter where you meet him.”
“That’s true. Lord knows that I’ve had my fair share of broke assholes. So I guess if you have to be with a broke asshole and rich one, you may as well get paid for it.”
I shook my head, “I thought that you were against all of this.”
“I am, I’m just trying to look at the bright side.”
“Mm hmm.”
#Chapter5
The following morning, Jessica did the walk of shame into our apartment. She didn’t come in the night before. She looked quite pleased with herself and was humming a little tune.
“Good morning beautiful.” Jessica said when she saw me.
“Hey, I called you yesterday.”
“Sorry, I was all tied up.” she snickered.
“I don’t even want to know.”
“You’re right, but check out these shoes!” She said as she opened up her shopping bag and showed me her shiny new expensive heels.
“Wow, so did Steve get these for you?”
“Ummm, no. Actually these are from James.”
“Have you no shame woman? What in the hell happened to Steve? When I saw you leaving this morning, you were going out to breakfast with him.”
“I know, and we did. I then got a text from James and I just can’t say no to him.” Her eyes took on a dreamy look.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do with you.”
“Don’t worry about me. What happened with you and that guy yesterday? Did you make anything?”
“Well, I got $100 dollars. I was supposed to make another $100 but I splashed my drink in his face before we got that far. It wasn’t even worth it because of what happened. That asshole offered me $500 dollars to have sex with him.”
Jessica didn’t look shocked, “Well that happens from time to time.”
“What would you have done in a situation like that?”
