"So where have you been staying since you got here?" Malory asked while shoveling potatoes into her mouth.

"Oh i've been staying at a cheap motel." I said looking down at my plate.

"Oh that sucks you should come live with me and my friend, Nate." she said smiling at me.

"Oh, I don't want to be a bother to you two."

"You won't be and it's just until you get a job and somewhere nicer to live. Not in a bug infested motel room."

"But I haven't even meet Nate. Do you think he will be okay with it?"

"Yeah, Nate will love you and there's a first for every thing right?" she said with bright eyes.

Thats one thing i've come to love about Malory. She was always happy and looking on the bright side of things.

I thought about it for a minute. "Fine, but I have to help pay the rent. I'm living there and I am using things, so I pay too." I said taking a sip of my water.

"Done! We can work out the amount for you to pay with Nate. He usually takes care of things like that." She stated clapping her hands together. " We can run by and grab your things when we are done here."

"Whoa, this is going to happen today?" I said with my mouth hanging open.

"Well of course silly. What were you expecting?" she asked combing her fingers throug her hair.

"Well, I was expecting an answer from your other room mate first."

"Oh no. Its now or never, Chick-a-dee." she stated bouncing in her seat.

"This is happening really fast." I said thinking out loud.

"Look Avery. What ever it is that you went through, I promise it will get better, but you have to take control of you life. Plus living with me is a blast." She flashed me a smile.

"Oh lord."

"So are you going to take the classes?" Malory asked changing the subject.

"Yeah well I kind of have to now, considering I have no job."

"Yeah, but she said we deserve to be on stage. To be respected on that level." She said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Malory in case you haven't noticed, we will be stripers. Not some fancy ballet dancers. What about your reputation?" I asked clearly shocked that she was so okay with this.

"Yeah, but what you don't realize is that we will make good bucks."

"Yes I get that, but I don't want low life losers to take pictures of my boobs and post it somewhere. And there will be a crap ton of them that will be looking at me."

"You know, I think you might like something better than working at a club. And it gets you more than a club anyway."

"Well what is it?" I asked in hopes of protecting what's left of my innocentce. It was obvoius I didn't belong in a culb scene.

"There is like a thing you can audition for. A person is looking for private entertainment and it pays lots. But usually the person is looking for girls who can be only their entertainment and no one else's and that's why you get paid so much. The men want you all to them selfs."

"So your saying I should be an escort? That makes no sense."

"No, it's still different. You are only showing one person your self not hundreds and there's no sex. Well most of the time, it depends on who it is." she said moving her mashed potatoes around her plate.
