~Steve's POV~

I wasn't sure why I came back for the summer but school let us have a whole summer off. Yet one teacher made us still have to turn papers in. It was early 2000s and I was laying in my bed throwing a small ball in the air and catching it. My tv was playing commercials as I wasn't paying attention until I heard it say.
"Have long hard days at work?"
I sat up seeing the person with blonde slick back hair and was in an all black suit. His button up was exposing his tan skin. I nodded at his question like he could hear me.
"Don't you wish you had someone you could talk to with no judgment?"
I nodded again and then the guy snapped his hands and the parking lot he stood in he was now inside what looked like a bar.
"Don't you wish you could meet people without others finding out?"
The camera glanced over to a guy lap dancing another guys lap. Then camera turned back to the speaker as he smiled.
"Well come in to The Upside Down or call number below at 1-1800 .."
I took my notebook off my dresser and wrote the number down quickly. Looking up the guy smiled into the camera. He wasn't my type but he did have nice smile.
"And you can have all your fantasy come true. I'm Vecna and hope to see you or hear from you soon." He waved bye to the camera and it went dark. Then the screen flicked back to my doctor show I wasn't actually paying attention to.

That whole week I felt the itch to call the number but kept pushing it away. My parents were never home just like when I lived here but thought be different now that I was going to school to be a middle school teacher. My friend Robin was having dinner with me as we caught up. She didn't leave for school but lived with her girlfriend Nancy. Nancy was studying to be a news reporter and Robin wasn't sure what she wanted to do yet.
"Goodnight. See you tomorrow for bowling?"
"Yep I'll be there. Drive safe."
"Okay grandma you drive safe tomorrow."
I chuckled at her nickname for me and we waved bye as she left. After dishes were washed I went up to my room. I got my pajamas on and teethed brush. I went to turn off my lamp but hit the book by accident. Picking it up the lose paper fell out and I picked it up. Seeing the number from the commercial. I sighed before picking it up and got into bed. I picked up my phone before dialing the number before I could back out.

~Eddie's POV~

I was spinning around in my chair waiting for a phone call. A month into this job and I was only desk duty. My co worker Alexei said it'll take a couple months before you can leave the office to go work outside of the phone calls. His boyfriend Murray also did the phone calls. This was actually how they met. That and they learned each other's language. Alexei was from Russia and Murray was from here in Hawkins, Indiana.

My phone lite up and started to ring as I smiled.
"Hello this is The Upside Down and may I ask what are your desires?"
I said like our catchphrase is to every phone call. Instead of getting an answer I only got sound of heavy breathing. I rolled my eyes but smiled like the person could see me.

Being a gigolo wasn't my first pick in job but it paid better then Scoops Ahoy at the mall near my house.

I bite my lip and saw Alexei at his station talking to customer since it was Russian I didn't understand it other then 'you sexy' . I picked up my notepad to start sketching waiting to see if the person would speak. My mind did think for second maybe they are already there and needing me to finish the push.
"Are you wanting my hands on you? Mouth?"
I asked and I heard the voice gulp. I smiled knowing I caused that reaction.
"Uh what is your name?"
The voice said and I stopped with my sketching and smiled. The voice was attractive but number one on job don't official date the clients. They are only here for paid dates. Yet I wasn't even at dating level just phone calls.
"Joseph or if you like you can call me Joe."
I said using fake name since another rule, don't give out your real name. No matter how much they pay they can't know your real name.
"I like that. Hi I'm Steve."
"Nice to meet you Steve. Very sexy name. Are your lips sexy too?"
I heard Steve lick his lips as I knew the phone had to be close enough he was holding it close to his lips. Since sounded like he was right by the speaker end.
"Uh I don't know actually. Everyone I meet likes my hair."
I moved piece of my own brown curly king hair out of my face at that.
"Oh Steve do you like your hair pulled?"
Steve made a grunt noise and I smiled before waking my computer up.
"Yeah.."
"Awww well before I continue I'll need your information to put in your payment."
I opened the page where I had to put in their name, card on file to charge them and then the serves with how long we will be on the phone so it comes out they pay the company. Then I would get 5% for being his gigolo.
I heard noise on the phone like he was moving then I heard bed squeak.
"Oh uh I've never done this before.."
"I'm your first? I'm so flattered Steve."
I licked my lips and heard Steve chuckle.
"Yeah you are Joe .. I hang on let me find my wallet."
