The Escort.

Chapter Three

Chapter Three

It was finally Friday and both my dresses came in the morning before I left. I got everything ready for Myrcella to stay the night at Patty's and took it with me to the diner for my shift. It was hard to let Myrcella stay the night but Patty always promised to call incase something happened.

Bringing two bags in the office so Jorge could take them to their place later I walk out to find Patty looking at the bags. "What is she moving in?" Even though she wouldnt mind us moving back in but like I said to cramped.

"No, she wanted to bring her Barbie's with her so you could both play." I say with a evil smile. Patty didnt care for the dolls and wanted to chop their hair off because they couldnt be brushed. Myrcella wouldnt talk to her for a week when she did that last time. Patty had to buy her three dolls to replace that one.

"Great now I'm going to be broke just because I have to buy replacement dolls. Anyway what time are you leaving today?" I walk beside her out to the tables and help clean up some tables near her so we could still talk and hear. "About three, if that Is okay with you? I still need you to get Myrcella for me." I say bringing the bin over for her. Nodding to answer. Going to greet people that come in and notice more people I see that lunch rush is coming in.

About 2:50 I clock, after kissing Myrcella goodbye and that I would see her Sunday and to be good for grandma and papa I head home. I get in the shower and after done shaving, washing, and rinsing off. I wrap a towel around me and head to the kitchen to heat up a hot pocket. Looking at the time to see it's 3:24, I take my time eating. Going up to my room and plugging my hair dryer and curling iron to heat up. I dry my hair and brush it out and once it's done I start to curl it.

Getting ready to do my makeup I look at the time and see it's 3:50. Hurrying up and not trying to mess it up I get done in five minutes and start to get my white dress that shows both my shoulders. Grabbing my heels since I already had a pair of white ones I didnt have to buy any. Grabbing my little pouch and looking inside to see my pepper spray, some money about $200 dollars and my cellphone with a portable charger incase.

Locking up and putting my keys in the pouch I start to head for the subway and purchase a ticket. Sitting down and waiting for a couple stops before mine, I take out my phone and look at my email to get the gentleman's number to text him I will be five minutes early than scheduled and meet him to the side of the building. Looking up to see that my stop is coming I get up and wait by the doors.

Getting out and going towards the stairs I look around me and see the direction I needed to go. I looked on google maps to see where I could walk and luckily I got use to heels that I dont get blisters anymore. Nearing the Wythe Hotel I see a man that looked like the picture I got with the email and stopped in front of him.

"Hello sir, my name is Iris." I say holding out my hand to shake. Taking my hand he looks me up and down.

"Your more beautiful than the picture on your profile." He says, making me blush a little bit. Thanking him, receiving my mask from him and putting it on. He fills me in on his buisness incase anyone asks me, He runs a buisness on landscapes and this event is actually for a charity for foster homes that they plan on building for a home that had a fire a couple weeks ago.

"I'm impressed really, but why do this if you won't get any money out of it?" I asked curiously. We sat down at a table and got some Champaign to drink. I only drink one since I dont want to make a fool of myself and do something I'll regret later.

"Some people do things for the good sometimes you know. We all maybe rich but most of us aren't assholes that only care for themselves." He says and starts looking around. Nodding a understanding that he in fact is correct and I shouldnt judge someone by it's cover. I always kept to myself since I didnt want anyone knowing about me but some questions were alright to tell. Just nothing to personal.

"Welcome lady's and gentlemen, we are here to donate to a special cause. We have been asked to create the perfect home for the perfect children of Brooklyn foster home. If you have a look up to the screen you can see the blue prints that we plan on doing for the twenty-two children and five staff members." Clicking something on a remote the blueprints come up. "We couldnt be doing this without your help and thanking Benjamin the 3rd for donating already one million dollars." Everyone claps and I look over to Ben to see him smile and wave them off. How much money was it going to take to build this house? As I look up the blue prints there was a total of four floors and had about six rooms on each, meaning two kids would have to share a room and ten bathrooms. It seemed like a lot and these kids were going to love it. Getting back my attention I look up to the gentleman speaking.

"Now we can continue with the party and please go up the table by the entrance and donate money. We will give out information for what you will be donating to and get a sticker, a sign, and a shirt to show that you have helped these wonderful children. Thank you everyone for coming." He puts the mic back and starts to walk off the stage. Hearing some slow music begin, I look at Ben.

"I can't believe you donated that much." I said and realizing it sound rude. " I don't mean it in a bad way sir it just surprises me is all." Looking down to my hands a little embarrassed. " Like I said Iris not all billionaires are assholes. Now would you care to dance?" He asks standing up and giving me his hand. I follow him to the dance floor and start to sway to the music with him leading. I was glad I learned to dance in my teenage years.

"I'm sorry if it came out rude, I've known a couple assholes that only donate just for attention. But they dont mean it." I say looking at him. He was the same height as me and I was glad.

"You know how old I am right?" Nodding since I remember it was in the info. " 66 years old and nothing more to live for. When I die my money will be fought over by my family that thinks I'm to stupid to think they actually love me." He says with hatred.

"There must be someone that truly loves you?" I ask hoping to change his mood. I felt bad for the old man he didnt deserve that. "There is my grandson. He's the only one that visits me, takes me out, and pays for it and doesnt let me try." He says with a little smile.

"See, your grandson sounds like a real family member. You could always make a will that he gets everything that belongs to you so there would be no fighting." He nods like he has thought about it and we continue to dance.

*****

The night was finally coming to an end and I was standing by Ben to say goodbye to some people before we left. He offered to take me home and since he wasnt a creep and very sweet I agreed after him saying he couldnt let me leave with it being almost 2 in the morning. My feet were hurting to much for me to not say no and argue more on it. We finally got in the back of his white 2019 Lexus IS. Giving his bodyguard my address and looking down at my phone to see a voicemail from Patty at 8, which means that Myrcella said goodnight. Looking up at Ben seeing as he cleared his throat.

"So what got you in this buisness Iris?" He asks and I laugh a little at his question at this time instead of earlier. "Sorry, it's just that you ask me that now and not earlier. But if you don't mind I don't want to talk about it sir." I tell him. He nods his head in response and looking around to notice we are getting in my area. "Sorry Iris and thank you for being my escort tonight. Here is your check for the night, may I get your last name so I can write it down?" He asked. " Davis. Iris Davis." I say taking the check once he is done and we pull up to my apartment.

"Thank you for the ride and hope to not have you stalking me." Laughing at the end to tell I'm joking around and starting to get out. "No problem Iris, I couldnt let a beautiful woman take a subway late this night. I will surely contact you again if I have another event going on okay?" He asks and I nod taking off the mask to give back.

"Keep it. Memories." He says smiling. Waving before closing the door I start to head upstairs after his car leaves and get inside to change into pjs and wiped off the makeup before getting in bed and falling asleep soundly.
