can't shut my heart up 2

sore throat

Diane POV

                      I hear the door open and Adie walks in... she was gone most of last night... not like i can complain, she's a sex worker, and she prefers to work at night. She flops onto the sofa

A: diane, do we have any painkillers?

D: that bad?

A: remind me not to take clients with the weird kinks

D: which is?

A: honestly i don't wanna talk about it

D: need something to drink? some wate-

A: NO-... n-no water please... chocolate milk or something and j-just a lil

D: um... okay 

                           I make some chocolate milk and she takes it with the pill before flopping back down holding her stomach... she looks bloated, she must be hungover or something

A: sometimes i really wish i had a normal job

D: well, why don't you get one?

                       She makes that "seriously?" face. I sit next to her and place her head on my lap

D: what?

A: in case you forgot I'm literally a porn star, i can't just get a job at target or something yanno

D: why not?

A: i... i just couldn't

D: so... can i ask what happened last night?

A: do i have to?

D: no

A: *sigh* good...

D: well you sound like you have a sore throat

A: i do and i feel like crap

D: well, at least you don't look like it

A: *smile* thanks princess... sometimes i wonder if i should judge the clients' kinks or not

D: i mean you're human... and im sure some are kinda weird but... i guess not?

A: yeah, it's not my job to judge the client

D: yeah... but you should also think bout yourself yanno... if you don't wanna do something just tell them

A: i guess

                       I lean down and kiss her

A: i better go shower... the crazy maid cleaner should be here soon

D: rude, madi isn't crazy

A: n-no no that's like what's on the card

D: oh right
