Gigolo

Chapter 5

PRESENT DAY

The ringing of the phone echoed throughout the silent house and startled Stacy who was deep into a new book.

The boys were with their father Chris for a long weekend and the house was always so quiet ,calm and still without them in it .

"Hello?" Almost shakily and still startled from being interrupted from her book .

"Hi, I'm looking for Stacy, my name is Paul Thomas " the deep masculine voice on the other end of the phone asked.

Holy shit! It was the guy from the website, she had totally forgotten about that email Marie sent to him among the heady buzz of the wine they had been drinking that night .

"Yes this is Stacy "

" Well I'm glad I caught you on the first try!" He chuckled a deep throaty laugh

He could tell by the way she answered she was nervous which was normal for most of his first time clients and his job was to put her at ease and make her feel comfortable with talking to him.

"Tell me a bit about yourself Stacy"

Stacy went into details about her children , her friends , her job that she loved as a nursery school teacher for two and a half year olds . she realized she was rambling on and quickly ended the conversation .

Paul quickly filled Stacy in on his background most of which she read online in his bio , and his security company he ran as his main job , what he enjoyed and his hobbies.

"So tell me about this reunion that you'd like me to attend with you?"

Stacy went in to the details about when the reunion was , where it was being held , who would be there , and hesitantly added her history with Chris, Lisa and why she was hiring him for the reunion.

"Wow , that's harsh huh? I can tell by the way you've spoken and your past history with your ex that the reunion is really important to you & that your strong and nobody can break you so may I make a small suggestion?"

"Sure, I am open to anything you may suggest your the expert after all" Stacy added nervously hoping it was going to be some crazy out of this world idea.

"Well your gonna try to pass it off as we have been dating for a little bit , and if we just go to this reunion as our first date it's going to look just like that, a first date. My suggestion is because we do have some time before the reunion is we get to know each other a bit and get comfortable with each other before the actual reunion , that way it will go off without a hitch and you can really stick it to you ex and his new girlfriend."

" That actually sounds like a great idea, but how do we go about doing that?"

Stacy was afraid she would have to lay out extra money and although it sounded like a great idea and she would love to throw caution to the wind she really couldn't spend a fortune just to stick it up Chris's ass for one night, although thinking of the look on his face when she walked in with Paul would be worth every penny.

" Well we could have frequent conversations on the phone ,talking about our day , the kids , and our friends." Paul suggested

" I like that idea that sounds good" Stacy breathed a sigh of relief

" Did you get a dress for your reunion yet?" Paul asked

" No , not yet why?"

"What about if our first meeting is dress shopping? I know of a really nice boutique that is one of the places I do security for."

" Um just one question Paul?"

"Sure fire away"

"Will all this getting to know you dress shopping and stuff cost me extra because although it sounds like a great idea and all I really don't have the extra money to lay out, I'm sorry"

" No please don't be sorry, I want your reunion to be a success for you and this won't cost extra. When a client hires me whether it's for a fantasy , a event or something there is some times prep or a supply cost absorbed by me to make it a great time and this is one of those times. We absorbed those cost because if you live it then you'll turn into a repeat customer and or recommend is to your friends, so it's all part of the job requirements."

" Oh ok , yeah I guess that would make sense , the dress shopping idea sounds good I'd like to do that and it's been a long time sense I bought myself anything new let alone went shopping with a man"

Paul rattled off the shop information , along with directions to get there and they set a time to meet with a promise to go out for a drink and maybe a quick bite to eat afterwards.

Stacy looked at her reflection in the mirror after brushing out her long dark hair and applying her make up. She laughed out loud and thought she must be nuts to be doing this, I'm meeting a gigolo to go dress shopping for my reunion .

She walked out of the bathroom to the small table in the hall that her car keys were on and picked them up and opened the front door .

"Well here goes nothing!"
