Confessions Of An Escort – Episode 2

 

CONFESSIONS OF AN ESCORT

 

_02_

 

I look at Urah again just to make sure that we are both seeing the same thing and I can see it is really happening.

 

‘Don’t tell me that is Joan.’ She says finally

 

I pick up a glass of water and drink from it, that is really her.

 

Joan is my twin, born two minutes before me. The perfect child in the eyes of my father, she has always strived to impress him. Doing things that didn’t even make her happy as long as he was approving of them.

 

When I got pregnant she had looked at me like I was the worst kind of human that walked the face of the earth, when dad disowned me she did too and even though I tried reaching out once or twice she always shut me off. The last time I heard from her was two years ago when she had sent me an invitation card to her wedding.

 

I still laugh when I think about it, dad threw her the wedding of a century, one that I am sure people still talk about up to date and I know her inviting me was just to see if I would go or would be bitter about it. But I showed up, with Urah of course and we dressed like the goddesses that we are. I still remember my father’s look, I know a part of him still stings because he thought I would never make it this far but who would have thought that my practicing license would have me building my own hospital and making a few others around the country?

 

‘Dr. Katie.’ Her husband George says when he spots me

 

I see my sister roll her eyes

 

‘George.’ I respond standing up

 

We hug

 

‘Hey George.’

 

‘Hey Katurah.’

 

‘You have been scarce.’ He accuses

 

‘I have been busy.’

 

‘I know you have, your job is quite demanding.’

 

I don’t respond but instead smile

 

‘You ladies should come for the baby shower next weekend.’ He says and I see my sister look at him angrily

 

‘I don’t want to intrude.’ I say looking at her with a smile that is not genuine

 

‘No you won’t, you can come with your son. There will be a playground for children except we need their fathers around.’ Joan says

 

I smile, I know how much she has been trying to touch one of my muscles but she hasn’t been able to. I am way pass the stage of being angry because of Sean being without a father.

 

‘Sean wouldn’t stand being in the presence of so many children, we are loners.’ I say warmly

 

‘I see.’ She responds

 

‘We should get going before this baby craves for something else.’ George says lovingly touching his wife’s baby bump and I smile

 

‘It was nice seeing you.’ He adds

 

‘Here.’ Joan says handing me a card

 

‘Thank you.’ I say looking at it

 

I sigh deeply when I watch them leave then stare at the card.

 

‘Custom made.’ I say giving it to Urah

 

‘That girl tries so hard.’

 

‘She thinks she can buy happiness.’ I say shaking my head

 

‘She has her priorities misplaced you know.’

 

 

I chuckle without a word.

 

‘I need cover.’

 

‘For what?’

 

‘Mark is coming into town.’ She says sipping on her juice

 

‘What do you want me to do?’

 

‘I have an appointment for 8PM.’

 

‘Babe.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘I thought we talked about this.’

 

‘I know I know, but this is the life we chose and you know I can’t just let it go.’

 

I sigh before facing her

 

‘I know that face too well.’ She tells me

 

‘Urah listen, we have had this thing going for a very long time. It’s not even about the money, I mean look at me. I am a doctor by profession and own private hospitals, you are a banker. Prominent banker I must add.’

 

‘But?’ she asks

 

‘You have a chance to live a different life, Mark loves you. And I know you love him so why not give yourselves a chance?’

 

‘And you have Sean to live for.’

 

 

‘This is different, you know I am never tying my life to any man. Sean is everything I have, but you have Mark. Don’t you want to experience the joys of marriage and being faithful to one partner and all that nonsense?’

 

‘At the expense of what? Being lied to? A man cheating on me? Going to another girl? Who is probably not even better than me? If that is the life you want me to subject myself to then no.’

 

‘Then why are you with him?’

 

‘We have a good friendship.’

 

‘And the love making.’

 

‘There is no love making.’

 

‘Urah?’

 

‘Katie I am an escort, people like you and I don’t make love. We have sex, raw rough and hard sex. Nothing fancy or romantic, we don’t do that.’

 

‘Urah.’

 

‘Babe we knew what we were getting into five years ago and there has been no regrets and yes maybe I want something serious with Mark but I am not ready to give up my life for him just yet.’

 

‘I see.’ I say sipping on water

 

‘So will you cover up for me or not?’

 

‘Girl you know I have your back always.’

 

She smiles

 

‘Profile?’

 

 

‘Fifty five, wife recently died. Left one child behind, shareholder in multimillion dollar companies overseas. Just wants to cuddle, Radisson Blu – room 183.’

 

‘Looks like I just have teddy bears tonight.’ I say and Urah laughs

 

‘Well at least you don’t have to do too much work.’

 

‘The fun is in the work.’ I respond and we both laugh again

 

After finishing with our food we go to Ackermans where I get a few socks and boxers for Sean then drive back home.

 

The day is slow, I have two clients to prepare for and so I book myself into a room at Radison blu where I will put my things in readiness for both appointments.

 

I pick out a beige satin night dress and matching gown for the first, then lingerie for the second. I make sure to pack my massage oil, clean underwear, shampoo, condoms, lube, my phone charger, purse, band aids, some cash and a phone that I only use during appointments.

 

I look at everything again to make sure I haven’t missed anything then go to the kitchen to look for food.
