"Come on. Your perfect for this guy." With that he held a firm grip on my left arm not too tightly tugging me down the hall and into the elevator. I don't dare to resist.
"What guy ?I have another week."
"You did have another week. This anonymous description came in which seems to be perfect for you." With a sigh he continued.
"You don't take shit from anyone especially Derrick who I'll deal with later and of course I'm not included. Not only because I've grown to respect your tough attitude but you know when to keep your mouth shut."The only thing I've gotten from what he said is ' I've grown to respect your tough attitude.'
"You, respect me?" I ask in disbelief.
"Well since you won't be around any longer it doesn't hurt to come clean. After all confession is good for the soul." He flashes me a charming smile.
WTF!!!!? Julian's smiling at me.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable now I return a weak smile turning my attention to the steel doors.
"And now your uncomfortable." He stated bluntly.
"What exactly are you trying to say Julian?" I question mustering up enough courage.
" I'm saying that I've grown to like you Zena. Your so innocent, we've kept you hidden from the world ,You won't understand." His voice sounds so tortured but relieved.
I've never seen this side of Julian before. Everyone has a vulnerable side but I didn't think Julian of all persons would expose himself like this.
"Is that why you've been nice to me? I've always thought that's the face you show people who're on the outside , who aren't in the business." My surprise and disbelief came unmasked.
"You know acting tough isn't fooling anyone Zena. Your being sold to a stranger, into a world you know nothing about. It's OK to be scared." He worked at diverting my attention.
"Look who's preaching about being tough!" I spat now getting short with this new character he's taken on.
"You know I'm shooked Julian. How dare you speak to me like this now!? You have the audacity to declare what, love? Your the reason for this whole situation. I'm being sent off to god knows where with only a slim chance of not becoming a prostitute,personal sex slave, doing porn and a lot more of those horrible stuff because guess what; that's what girls like me are for!" I spat at him filled with rage burning a hole in the side of his head shutting him up for good.
After waiting impatiently for the elevator to stop I step out into the building's parking lot rushing towards a waiting Peter. So he'd planned to take me today. I shoot another death glare at Julian.
Kim being here with me is..comforting. After hours of driving we're woken up by the guys who lead us up to this massive house in the middle of nowhere. Nothing in sight but miles of field and trees in the distance. The house stands proud coated in white reflecting royalty through it's abundant glass windows. I'm fascinated by it's size and beauty. Is this what life is going to be like now? If so i would have begged to be dragged out of that prison way sooner. Long gone are the days of being couped up in more like a cage than an apartment most of the time.
Julian pushing open the vast elegant doors lead us inside which replaces my smile with a frown aging me fifty years older.
The place is completely and utterly empty.
" Why's there no furniture?" For once I'm not the first to open my mouth.
Kim's question goes unanswered which angers me. These dick heads still keeping us in the dark even after we're cooperating so far.
Leading us into a room that only has stands with all and every possible kind of make up were six waiting women who looked board out of their minds.
"Took you long enough. We've been waiting for hours. Tony's girls Will be here in a few hours so let's get started shall we." She speaks giving the impression that she does this everyday.
"Name's Julian. This is Peter." Julian holds out his hand doing the introductions not bothering to acknowledge us, the monkeys.
Her big Hazel eyes light up turning to me and her fake smile widened into a real one her thin painted lips stretched against gleaming white teeth "May". "So what they say is true your girls are the perfect package. I thought those horny buggers were crazy to pay double price for your set but my my" she tucks away a strand of my hair." This one won't take much work. I want the other one."
I thought she said I didn't need much work. I'm really not feeling so naturally beautiful right now with all this glamour. About a few hours ago they dragged Kim off into some other room.
Now I'm all dolled up and Julian's talking to May. A few more ...what am I saying a lot more girls have arrived assuming their here for the same reason I am there's no point in socializing.
My feet are killing me from these unbearable heels so I take a seat in a love seat someone brought in earlier. Rubbing my ankles two guys walk in one of which wearing a black suit his boyish features set in stone. Well no time to stare as he wasted no time before pulling a scrap of paper from his pocket and calling out the single name "Julian" in a stiff but perfect voice.
"Please this way." Julian motioned him towards an empty room.
"You already got a description. I'm simply here to collect the package."
Clearing his throat Julian stood by my side and bluntly said "This is Zena."
The other guy actually looked surprised, confused even and asked "What exactly do you do here..." Before hurriedly adding" Don't answer that." Then shifting his attention to me. " Would you follow me please." He sounds uncomfortable more asking than demanding; a polite one.
Throwing all hopes out the window I willfully followed him out the building.
So...let's meet the boss.
