Confessions Of An Escort – Episode 20

CONFESSIONS OF AN ESCORT

 

_20_

 

I take a few minutes to digest what has just happened, Francis has his fingers locked with mine and I can hear his breathing.

 

I don’t know what to make out of what just happened but I am guessing for me to allow him this close then obviously he is still going to be around for some time.

 

‘I need you to escort me somewhere.’ He says

 

‘Where?’

 

‘A friend’s place.’

 

‘Oh okay.’ I respond

 

He gets up and goes to the bathroom.

 

 

‘I need to shower; you can join me if you like.’ He screams on top of his voice as he disappears

 

The offer is tempting considering all the things I am feeling but I know accepting will only mean drooling over him and I don’t think I can handle that right now or what he might do to me.

 

I wait for him to finish before I hit the shower too; when I am done, he has already finished dressing up.

 

‘Don’t tell me you are feeling shy.’ He says looking at me as I hold on to the towel tightly

 

‘Francis excuse me.’ I say avoiding his gaze

 

He ignores me and continues to press his phone.

 

‘I don’t mind staying in here the whole day and watching you like that.’ He says not even looking at me

 

I sigh.

 

I go to his dressing table and pick out the lotion then walk to his closet where I apply the lotion from. When done I go back to the bedroom and pick my clothes then go back to the closet to dress up.

 

‘You are really going to keep running away from me?’ he asks with a smirk on his face

 

‘Francis stop talking.’ I say rolling my eyes

 

‘You look cute when you get mad.’ He says laughing

 

His laughter lingers in the air and I can’t help but smile.

 

When done, I go back to the bedroom where I find him in the same position where I had left him.

 

 

‘Good to go.’ I say picking up my purse and phone

 

‘When are you supposed to pick up Sean?’

 

‘When I am ready to face him.’ I respond as we walk out of the house

 

‘You drive.’ I say throwing my keys at him

 

I only do it because I notice there is no car in his driveway apart from mine and I am guessing he has been using a cab or Mark has been driving him.

 

‘Why are you back in the country?’ I ask as we join great east road

 

He smiles

 

‘Honestly, I have no idea.’

 

‘Then go back.’

 

‘You are blunt.’

 

‘It comes with the height.’ I say staring out the window

 

‘Yeah right.’ He says laughing

 

Silence

 

‘Germany treated me well, it was fun and very productive but I have always known where home is. I don’t want to develop in a foreign land as I continue working for other people, I want to take up my company here and run it whilst home.’

 

‘I see.’

 

‘You are not convinced?’

 

 

‘If I had an opportunity to leave this country, I would and I don’t think I would ever come back.’

 

‘Because you don’t have much to live for?’

 

‘Yep.’

 

‘My exact thoughts about Germany.’ He says

 

‘I was actually thinking you just came back to get a woman here.’

 

‘Why would you think like that?’

 

‘Well isn’t that one of the first things that you did after getting here?’

 

‘I had no other alternative; I am thirty five and not getting any younger.’

 

‘Parents should stop putting pressure on their children because it isn’t a must that age should come with commitments.’

 

‘You should tell that to my parents.’ He says with a chuckle

 

‘They are strong believers of marriage?’

 

‘Not exactly.’

 

‘Well they are.’ He corrects and I laugh

‘My parents have only been with each other; they are strong believers of friendship, commitment and marriage.’

 

‘And you had to take home a lady who has a child outside wedlock?’ I ask looking at him

 

‘They wouldn’t judge you, have you noticed how old my parents are? The age difference between my sister and I?’

 

‘Its not something that took away my sleep.’

 

‘You are sarcastic you know that?’

 

‘And I wear it like a badge of honor.’ I say patting my shoulder and he laughs

 

‘It took my parents a while before they could actually conceive, I don’t think they would ever call anyone names for the decisions they made or didn’t make. Besides you being my woman they just have to respect you.’

 

‘Your what?’

 

‘We are not talking about this again are we?’ he asks and I just keep quiet because I don’t have the strength to argue with him

 

We drive off from Great East into Jesmondine. After a few minutes we are at a Grey gate and he makes a phone call before the gate opens.

 

‘This is a dream right?’ A man says coming from inside the house and I want to throw up

 

‘No it isn’t.’ Francis says getting out of the vehicle

 

I know I can’t be here forever so I get out of the car.

 

‘Katie.’ George screams coming to my side

 

‘Hey.’ I say embracing him.

 

‘I see you two know each other.’ Francis says holding my waist

 

I notice how George’s eyes go to my waist, I maybe paranoid but the way he looks at Francis’ hand seems off.

 

‘I want you to meet my woman.’ Francis says

 

‘Babe this is George, a good friend of mine and Ezra.’

 

 

‘Oh.’ I manage to say

 

‘How do you two know each other?’ Francis asks ‘Wanna tell him?’ George asks and I sigh ‘He is married to someone I know.’

 

‘Someone you know?’ He asks and Joan comes out of the house ‘What are you doing here?’ She asks with bloodshot eyes ‘If I had known I wouldn’t be here.’ I say looking at her

 

‘Baby can you believe Katie is Francis’ girlfriend.’ George says ‘I see.’ She responds

 

‘Hey Jo.’ Francis says going to hug her

 

From the way they are hugging I can tell that they are acquainted

 

We go into the house and Joan offers us refreshments, and I just get some water. ‘So how long have you two been together?’ George asks

 

‘Long enough.’ Francis responds locking fingers with mine Joan looks at our hands

 

‘Dad and Mum are on the way, unless you still want to be here when they arrive.’ She announces

 

‘Your parents you mean?’ I ask

 

‘Yes my parents.’

 

 

‘We will leave when he is done with what he came to do.’ I say
