The Escort.

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

Waking up to Jacob and Myrcella jumping on my bed was a big shocker to me. Groaning and threatening that I wouldnt take them to the park if they didnt let me sleep for five more minutes they scurried off to god knows where. After getting my five minute nap I get a shower and get dressed in a long sleeved grey sweater, blue jeans, and my boots. Walking down the hallway and putting my hair into a messy bun I see Jacob and Myrcella already ready and eating pancakes. Sitting down and grabbing some bacon I grab the cup of coffee from Jacob. "So how was the couch?" I asked with a smirk on my face.

"You really need to get a more comfy couch, I've told you this a million times." I laughed at him, because it was true but I couldnt get rid of it. "Well next weekend you can sleep in my bed and I'll take the couch so I dont wake you. Deal?" I asked and he nodded.

Finishing our breakfast we get our coats on and start to walk down the street with Myrcella between us holding our hands. I know most people would think we were a family, sometimes it upset me that I couldnt give Myrcella a dad to love her. She used to ask when she started preschool and wondered why everyone in her class had a dad but not her. I told her that I didnt know where her dad was sadly. It broke my heart to see her cry thinking that her dad didnt want her. But I held her and promised her that I would love her as much as I could give her and once she finished crying we got ice cream.

When we entered the park Myrcella ran off to the slides while me and Jacob went to a bench to sit and watch her. "So how are classes going for you?" Jacob asked me so there wasnt silence around us. "Good, busy as usual but mostly try to spend as much time with Myrcella now. She hates being away from me for so long." I say to him, never keeping my eyes off Myrcella.

"Can I ask you something?" Jacob asked me and I nodded for him to continue. "Well I was looking at something on the internet and needed something. Well um, its just that I didnt know you were an escort." Jacob whispered the last word and that got my attention more.

"It's not what you think Jacob." I said to him and turned my attention back on Myrcella. "I know it's not my buisness but selling your body for mon-" He didnt finish because I slapped him across the face.

"I am not a prostitute, I simply go to events as dates and dont even touch them in any sexual way." I said to him. He rubbed his cheek I hit and stared at the ground. " So you dont have sex with them?" He asked I guess to make sure. "No, there is some escorts that will, if they pay extra. But no I dont do that." I said to him and got up and walked to the swings to see Myrcella better. I didnt bother to ask him why he was looking for an escort, it's his buisness like it's mine to say what I want to share with him. He was my best friend so hopefully he won't ask anymore questions.

"So this weekend when I watch Myrcella your going to be doing an event?" I nodded and turned to see him standing beside me, with a red cheek. I felt a little bad for slapping him, but at the same time I didnt. He understood why I did it. "If this is about money I can help out Iris, what happens if you go to the wrong event and the guy tries something?" He said and I shook my head and laughed a little. He didnt think I could protect myself.

"If you must know I've done this for a long time and know what I'm doing, I can take care of myself and if it makes you feel better I carry pepper spray with me. I've taken a few self defense classes also. The money part I can't let you help me, I need to pay my bills and provide for me and my daughter." I said to him a little harsh. It was pissing me off that he thought I couldnt protect myself, or that I couldnt provide for me and Myrcella. "So please stop asking questions and tell me why you were looking for an escort?" I said to him, I figured it was fair to ask now since he asked me so many.

"I wasnt looking. I heard someone talking about the site and swore that one of the girls was you." He said lowly. I looked at him with shock and started to breath heavy." It's fine, I already took care of it. I figured you didnt want even your best friend knowing." He said and I relaxed a little. Myrcella came running towards us and sat on the swing beside me.
