Confessions Of An Escort – Episode 18
CONFESSIONS OF AN ESCORT
_18_
I don’t know what I am feeling, but whatever it is I know that I need to talk to someone or even do anything because my emotions are all over the place and if I don’t sort this out today I might lose myself. I know what I have said to Ezra and his mother has left them wondering and I would rather it remains like that because I do not have time to start babying the both of them.
I call Urah asking where Francis is staying and tells me he is at one of his flats in Ibex and she sends me a location, I cut the line just before she asks why I am asking. I don’t even know why its him I want to see out of all people but I drive there anyway before I can change my mind.
The gate man allows me inside and tells me to go inside the house, apparently his boss has told him that I am on the way and I know it can only be Urah’s doing.
The house is awfully quiet, I have always imagined Francis to be cold but with the way his house is designed one can easily tell that I was wrong. It is painted in white and has grey furniture with white cushions, the elegance is what has me smiling. I walk to the kitchen and I almost want to slap myself in the head because not even my kitchen is as big and as good looking as this one.
When I am done looking, I move to the corridor where photos have been hang, surprisingly they are some from the dinner night and two or three are of us. I can’t help but smile at how perfect we look together despite me being really short and I am left wondering as to why he has my photos hang on the wall.
I open the first door which I guess is the guest room because it is void of any signs of being occupied, the one on the far end is slightly open and that’s the one I open and walk into.
Francis’ cologne hits me first and I am sure that this is his room, there is a door that is closed and I can hear water running and I am guessing he should be in there bathing.
So I make myself comfortable on the bed and start going through some magazines that are lying on his side table.
‘Katie.’ He says surprised when he comes out of the bathroom
I swallow hard, the water is dripping. Only a towel wrapped around his waist covering his bottom.
‘You are seriously raping me with your eyes?’ he asks and I cant help but shy away
‘So you have a conscious?’ he teases and I throw one of the pillows at him
‘let me just dress up will be with you in a minute.’ He says going to his walk in closet
Inner me is disappointed because I would have loved to stare on, with his perfect abs and all.
He comes back after a minute wearing shorts and a t shirt.
‘Welcome to my house I guess.’ He says coming to sit on the bed with me ‘You don’t look okay.’ He adds
‘I think I just ruined my son’s future.’ I say with a sigh ‘What did you do?’
‘I went to Ezra’s place.’
‘Okay.’
‘Initially Mer’vis came to see me, came to tell me that I must never make Sean a part of Ezra’s life.’ I say this with a chuckle
‘Your response?’
‘I chased her out of my house.’
He laughs
‘Whats funny?’
‘Sounds like something you would do.’
I roll my eyes and he laughs again
‘I was mad, Mer’vis has no right coming to my house talking about a child she didn’t mother. Calling him a bastard and what not, so I went to see Sean and his mother.’
‘Am listening.’
‘Told his mother that the same way she chased me eight years ago saying her son could never make me pregnant is the same way she should keep him away from my child, well not exactly those words but something like that.’
‘Wow.’
‘And Ezra? What did he say?’
‘I told him to stay away from me and my child.’
He keeps quiet for a while
‘Did you mean it though.’
‘I don’t know.’ I say with a shrug
‘Katie.’
‘Francis at the end of the day it is no longer about me or Ezra, it’s about Sean. And I know the fact that he knows about his father he won’t rest until they have some sort of relationship, I can’t take that away from him.’
He moves closer to where I am and holds me.
‘Give Ezra enough rope to hang himself, no matter what happened in the past that boy is his son and like I told you last time; I don’t want you to be the reason why Sean grows up bitter with no father. Just continue being his mother and let Ezra do
his part, but be in the look of things to make sure that your son doesn’t get hurt. I don’t trust Mer’vis.’
‘Neither do I.’
‘And the fact that she can’t have children is just another messed up thing to keep Sean around them.’
‘She can’t what?’
‘Something went wrong whilst in UNI, so she can’t have children.’
‘Something?’ I ask
‘It’s personal and I wouldn’t want to start talking about it you know.’
I look at him
‘Whatever the case it is sad hey.’ I say honestly
‘I know, they both planned on adopting so Sean being in a picture must have opened old wounds and I pray Ezra stays as the bigger person because their lives will never be the same.’
‘Can you let me go now?’ I ask struggling for air
‘On one condition.’
‘Shoot.’
‘Why being an escort?’
I feel my stomach turn, this is something that no one has ever asked me.
