“Unbelievable. I would want the talkers.” Would it possible to get only the talkers?
“It’s not that simple. After a couple of months of trying out several mentors, I was asked for exclusivity from one of mine. Basically, I see only him and his partner.” She gave me a look that I recognized as her don’t judge me look. “Yes, I do both of them. It works out well for all of us.” Who was this woman and what had she done with my best friend?
“Partners? As in plural? Who are these men? I’ve never heard you mention anyone’s name.” These secrets had robbed me of my friend.
“That’s part of the deal. They remain anonymous, and I get through my grad program debt free, well fed, and housed. It’s my goal to build good relationships with these people. They’re in my industry and they have the connections I need to succeed.”
“Do you ever get attached to them? Aren’t you afraid of falling in love?” Would it be possible to be in an intimate relationship and keep it superficial? Doesn’t intimacy lead to love?
“Don’t fall in love. I went into this knowing it wasn’t a real relationship. It’s a job. I give them what they want. They give me what I need. The only way to survive is to keep that in the forefront of your mind.” Her tone seemed to fade as the words slipped hesitantly from her mouth.
“Are they married?” How would I feel about being the other woman? I may have had sex with more than a few men, but I’d never cheated on anyone, and I was never the girl that anyone cheated with.
“The men I see are single as far as their profile states. I know it’s a lot to absorb, but the call I got was from my boss. She wants me to bring you to her office for an interview and to size you up if you’re interested. What do you think?”
What do I think? How does one get sized up for a job peddling sex?
I turned in the booth and looked around the mostly empty coffee shop, spotting my co-worker. She rolled her eyes at some possibly cheesy comment the man in front of her at the counter said. No more shitty comments and equally shitty tips. What did I have to lose?
“Let’s go. Can I at least go home and change? I’m not sure wearing my nursing uniform is appropriate.” I looked down and considered my voluptuousness. Despite the placement of the red crosses, these suckers had only made me forty today.
Was I really considering this? This wasn’t how I was raised, but given my parents’ opinion of me, it wouldn’t have been too far outside their expectations.
