"You want me to sell myself?" I stared at Anna in disbelief from everything that she had just told me

Anna made all that money by becoming an escort. However, she didn't have sex with these men, she got them drunk and took their money and left them in a hotel. How she hadn't been caught yet, I had no clue. Since Anna didn't have much time left as her leaving date was approaching faster than ever, it meant that we had to move fast. Anna left in three days and we needed to figure out a plan in time. Anna needed this money because her father wanted to marry her off to some guy from the Mafia back in Italy. Long story short, her dad ended up selling her to this person and paid them thousands of pounds and now she had to pay them back all this money to cancel the wedding. She lost me a couple of times but in the end we got there.

"It's not selling yourself. You're not having sex with them," she said and pulled her hair into a ponytail

"So how's this supposed to work?" I asked and flopped down on my bed

"Basically, we go to this club and sit in the vip section with all the rich business men. Then we ask if we can get them drinks, use their cards to get the drinks, and get them drunk then take them back to the hotel. After that, we snatch their wallet and search the safe that's in the room. Take their money and then everything's done. Easy." She explained and I shook my head

"So, you've been doing all this on your own? How much more money do you need?" I played with my hair

"Yep!"

"What happens when they wake up? Won't they remember our faces?" I turned on my side to face her

"Nah, they'll be too out of it to even remember a single thing. There's nothing to worry about! Just don't look suspicious and we'll be alright." She said like that was going to make it any better

Just then my mum walked into the room with drinks in her hands. She handed us one each and announced that food would be ready soon. We thanked her and waited until she went back to her room to go back to our conversation. I opened the bottles of Fanta and handed Anna back her drink. She took a sip and her face changed into an expression of shock. She looked at the Fanta bottle once more and took a couple more sips then wiped the juice off of her lips.

"This is BANGING! Where did you guys get this from? Can I have another?" She chugged the rest of the drink and put her bottle in the bin

"My dad brought them back from Nigeria. They're nice, innit?" I laughed

"Nice? Those are sexy." She exclaimed

"So, how are we going to do this then?" I laughed and switched the conversation

"We get ready and leave here so that we're at the club for 9:30. Your mum thinks we're going to some girls party, right?" Anna said and I nodded my head

"Ok, so I've arranged for the people to meet us there and then we'll go up to the vip area with them. It's hella packed up there so it's gonna be easy to slip the stuff in their drinks. We get them drunk and chill out for a bit until they invite us back to their hotel. Fabio and his friend have agreed to give us 5K each and a little tip if 'we can wow them'." Anna repeated

"Seduce them once the drugs kicked in, which won't take long, then it will knock them out straight away. After that we snatch their money and we should be out of the Hotel by 12:30 am and back here by 1:15. That should be okay with your mum?" She said and I nodded again

My mum thought that this 'party' ended late so this was the only time where she'd allow me to stay out longer than usual. I had picked out a black and silver sequin mini dress that my mum surprisingly picked out for me, and paired it with a pair of black heels. Anna brought her clothes over here and she was wearing a blue lace up dress with a cute pair of silver heels to match.
