THE EXOTIC DANCER CHAPTER 019✔ "Bastard"
I pull my clothes back on quickly as James takes a phone call out on the balcony. The light sound of my cell phone vibrating upon the hardwood floor startles me as i rush to it, picking it up to see who it is calling me.
I scroll through my text messages, a couple from Mary telling me how Lucy got along last night at her place. I didn't really feel comfortable leaving her alone in the apartment.
I give her a quick text back thanking her for watching over Lucy and for getting her on the bus in the morning.
Then i find a couple messages from Max who is a little more than annoyed at me for leaving my shift early. I don't text him back, maybe being a little passive aggressive as i close my phone up and look around the room.
The bedroom like the rest of the rooms i saw on the other side of this door make the house seem like exactly that. A house, not a home. Everything is perfect except for the unmade bed and clothes on the floor.
What i would give to live like this
I think to myself walking out of the bedroom to grab my shoes and bag from the floor in front of the couch.
"Leaving?" I hear a voice say behind me.
"Was i supposed to stay?" I ask with a chuckle before turning around. Still a little embarrassed about the entire situation. He gives me a kind smile and a little shrug. Standing in front of me, with a pair of grey sweatpants, shirtless. But like he said to me. Its nothing i didn't see last night.
"Give me one minute." He speaks making his way back to his room.
I wait patiently, tapping my fingers along the straps of my bag i hold within my fingers.
When James comes back into my line of vision i see him with cash in his hands, holding it out to me.
I quickly shake my head and hold my hands up in protest. "You paid me already.. Remember?"
The entire situation making me feel even more uncomfortable. I had sex with him for money... and the thoughts of whether or not i regret it have not hit me yet. I dont truly know.
Did i have an okay time? Sure... that could be said.
Do i feel a bit worthless? Yes, but not as much as usual.
I don't think i could have sex in exchange for anything and not feel bad about it in the morning. No matter how good the sex was or how good the person treated me. I still had sex with a man for money.
