“OK,” I said, returning a smile.
I was happier than I had ever been in my life at that point. Dyna’s stylist Ariana cut my hair into a wrap with long, feathered layers. She also gave me some blonde highlights and I loved it. The hairstyle made my face look drastically different. After getting my nails and feet done, we went back to the store. It was now 8:00 P.M., and I soon saw the process of the escort business. The dates were prearranged by Dyna and paid for in advance. There were drivers who doubled as security for the escorts. The type of car depended on the client. Sometimes it would be a small car or other times a limo. The hotel rooms were paid for in advance as well, and the drivers drove the women to the locations where they would meet their dates or “tricks.” The escorts would then perform whatever sexual activity the man wanted. The rates were by the hour, and the man would pay for as many hours as he wanted the escort to stay. The hourly rate went anywhere from $300 to $1,000 depending on your reputation and experience. It also depended on the amount of time the client wanted with them. Some overnight or out of town trips made the rate go up. The new girls always started with $300 and moved their way up. You could also be reduced on hourly pay if Dyna was pissed at you.
This was a crazy business, one I was glad I would only be promoting and not directly involved in. After Dyna gave all of the girls their directions, she sat and counted all of her money for the night and also separated each girl’s pay, placing their money into envelopes labeled with their names on them. I looked at Dyna as a goddess. A woman with that much power was something I had never witnessed before, and I felt privileged to even know her.
After closing up her store, we went back to her house for the night. After showering and changing into my PJ’s, I told Dyna that I would be going to bed.
“Well good-night! I’ve had a long day and I want to rest up so that I can do my best tomorrow on my first day of work,” I said, smiling.
“I’m glad that you’re on my team now. I just want you to know that. I feel good about you, and I feel like we are going to be really good friends in the future. I feel like I can trust you, and I hope everything that I feel is true.”
“It’s definitely true. I appreciate everything you are doing for me, and I would never do anything to ruin that. I’ve never had anyone in my life who cared about me, and for that reason I will always be loyal to you.”
“I’m very happy to hear that. So go ahead and rest up. Give me hug!” she said, reaching out to hug me.
As soon as she hugged me, Meeka came into the room and again gave me the evil eye. I quickly loosened my grip and greeted her. She just waved. I told them both good-night and made my way to the bedroom which would now be mine. No longer did I have to share a room with my careless sister.
I had a very hard time sleeping the first night at Dyna’s. The bed was comfortable and the room was perfect, but I just wasn’t used to things being perfect. I got up and decided to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Moving through the dark hallway, I noticed a streak of light coming from Dyna’s room. I walked up to the door which was cracked and noticed Dyna naked appearing to be engaged in some sexual act. Moving a little closer to the door, I could then see Meeka down on her knees pleasing Dyna with strokes of her tongue. I had never seen two women engaging in sex before, but it was amazing. I could hear Dyna moaning as she rubbed her hands across her breasts.
“Yes, right there!” Dyna continued to moan.
Meeka soon began using her fingers as well. Watching them gave me a tingle down below that I had never experienced before. Meeka stood up, appearing to be wearing a dildo strapped around her waist. She turned Dyna over, entering her from behind and making her moans of ecstasy even louder.
“Fuck me harder! Meeka, yes, just like that!” Dyna screamed as Meeka rammed the dildo deep inside of her. I stood there quietly watching the entire act, which lasted about thirty-five minutes. When I realized that they were done, I quickly moved away from the door into the kitchen, hoping they never realized my presence. I sat in the kitchen and prayed that neither of them would notice that I was even awake. I was relieved when I noticed the bedroom light go out. I snuck back down the hallway into the guest room, climbed into the bed, and went back to sleep.
The next morning I woke up to the bright light of the sun shining in through the wooden mini blinds. I looked over at the clock and noticed that it was 9:00 A.M. I got up and brushed my teeth before going out of the room to see what Dyna had planned for the day. Going downstairs to the living room, I found Meeka sitting on the sofa watching TV.
“Good morning!” I said.
“What’s so damn good about it?”
“I’m alive, you’re alive, that’s what’s good,” I replied cheerfully.
“Whatever, little girl. I hope you enjoyed the show last night. I saw you standing out in the hall watching us. Dyna did that shit purposely because she likes an audience. “
“What are you talking about?” I said bashfully.
“You know what I’m talking about, and to set the record straight right now, Dyna is mine! Don’t you forget that shit. The fact that you watched is enough, and that should have been enough to get rid of your curiosity. If I ever hear about you even smelling her pussy, your ass will regret it. Do we have an understanding?”
“I’m not gay, Meeka, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
“I wasn’t gay when I met her either! All I have to say is that you better keep your hands off of her.”
“Well I already told you that I’m not gay. Hell, I’m still a virgin. I’m not trying to start any trouble. I just want to save my money to put myself through college.”
“Well, don’t think that we are ever going to be friends. I don’t trust you. Truthfully I don’t trust anyone. You just need to stay out of my way.”
“I will, that’s not a problem,” I said before walking away.
I was angry that she would say those things to me. It had never crossed my mind to get with Dyna sexually. She was very pretty indeed, but I didn’t understand where Meeka’s animosity was coming from. I went back to the bedroom and picked out an outfit to wear. I chose a denim mini, a pink beaded tank, and pink pumps. I fixed my hair in a ponytail and applied some lip-gloss to make my lips pop. Shortly after I was dressed, Dyna came into the room.
“Good morning!” she said, smiling.
“Good morning,” I replied.
“So are you ready for work? You look good in that mini, girl. I wish I had an ass like that. They’d be calling me unstoppable!” she laughed.
Bashfully I replied, “Yes I’m ready.”
“Well, I’m going to send you down to the neighborhoods where the top hustlers hang at and you can just go and give out flyers and use your looks to get their attention.”
“What do you mean use my looks?”
“You’re fine, girl! You have to use that to your advantage. Make them come to you and when they do, sell the business.”
“I hope I don’t punk out.”
“Trust me, you won’t. There will be $1,000 waiting for you at the end of the day.”
“Are you serious?” I already thought that she had given me too much, but $1,000 definitely seemed a little extreme.
“Very serious. I figure $1,000 a day is good. You’ll be out on your feet all day, so I hope that those pumps are comfortable. Do you know how to drive?”
“No.”
“Well I’m going to have to teach you, because I can’t afford to have someone driving you around. I need everyone to do their own driving. But for now I’ll put you out with Jenna. You and her can go to the different spots together until I can teach you how to drive.”
“OK.”
After introducing me to Jenna, we drove around until we reached the first spot that we would go to work at. It was a bar where she said a lot of the big time hustlers hung out. Jenna was a Puerto Rican girl with long, black hair with blonde highlights placed throughout. She looked to be about a size two. She re
ally didn’t have much of a shape, but she did have a gorgeous face. I felt close to her even though we had just met. Our conversation was good, and our chemistry was great. I knew we would make a great team.
We got out of the car and entered the bar. I instantly became nervous when the men began calling us in every direction. Jenna told me not to be nervous, but that was very hard to do because I had never received that type of attention from men before. One man called me over to him, and I didn’t hesitate to go over. He was fine with smooth skin the color of coffee with extra cream. His teeth were perfect, and I could smell his cologne a mile away. I was interested to know more about him even though I was supposed to be promoting the business. I smiled and put on a switch courtesy of my Baby Phat pumps.
“What’s up?” I said, in a sexy tone.
“You, ma! That’s for damn sure.”
“Have you ever heard of Dymes Clothing?”
“Clothing?” He began laughing. “I’ve heard of Dymes, but it definitely ain’t have nothing to do with clothing. Shit, if that’s where you work. I’ll spend all my money for a night with you.”
“No, I don’t work the field, I just promote it. If you know about the business, then I’m sure you know about the girls.”
“Yeah, but I’m not interested in them. I’m interested in you.”
“Well, I’m working now, so I can’t really help you now.”
“Well, let’s make a deal.”
“Deal? Why should I make a deal with you?”
“Look, I promise to send that business ten customers with your name as a referral if you let me take you out on a date. I know that your boss will appreciate that.”
“I don’t know. I would have to think about that.”
“What is there to think about? I know you want to. It’s no reason to be scared.”
“Do you promise to send the customers?”
“I told you that already. I keep all of my promises.”
“Well, give me your number, and after I hear that you sent the customers, I’ll call you.”
“That’s a deal, baby. My name is JT and here’s my business card. I’m a party promoter as you can see. What’s your name, ma?”
“Sugar.”
“Really? I like that! I look forward to hearing from you soon, Ms. Sugar. I hope you’re that sweet!” He laughed.
“No problem. You scratch my back, and I’ll grant your wish!” I smiled before walking away. I moved around the bar, going from hustler to hustler and telling each of them about the business. I could feel JT’s eyes burning a hole in my back with each step I took. I knew it would be hard not to call him because for a change a guy wanted me, and it excited me to the tenth power. We worked that bar for about an hour before leaving to hit the next spot. Each place was basically the same. All I could think about was JT, and though many other guys tried to spit game that day, their words had no effect on me. JT was the winner that day, and if he could keep his promise, it would be my pleasure to go out on a date with him.
After a long day of work my feet were killing me. As soon as we reached Dyna’s office, I took my shoes off and rubbed my tired feet. After she spoke with Jenna and paid her, I gave Jenna a hug before she left. I was happy about how the day had gone, and yet I was nervous that Dyna wouldn’t be satisfied with my work. Instead, she was ecstatic.
“I am so happy that I hired you, Sugar. You did a really good job today! I have never had a girl do so well on her first night of work. You’ll be happy to know that fifteen customers called here today and booked escorts with your name as a referral.”
“Are you serious?”
“I can’t believe it myself. Some of the other girls didn’t get that many in a week!”
“Wow, that’s great, Dyna.”
“It is, and for that, you’re getting an extra $500 on your pay. Keep up the good work,” she said, passing me the envelope containing $1,500.
“So, do you have any plans tonight? You should go out and celebrate.”
“I don’t have any plans yet, but I am definitely going to celebrate!” I laughed.
“Well, I’ll have one of the drivers take you to home.”
“OK, thanks so much, Dyna.”
“Here’s a cell phone too. The number is on the back. It’s yours to keep until you want to get one of your own, but that’s the business phone, OK?”
“OK!” I gave her a hug and went downstairs to wait on the driver. I took the business card out of my pocket that read Game Recognize Game ENT. I flipped the card through my fingers, whispering his name over and over again. Once the driver pulled up, I got inside and dialed the number.
“Hello!” a deep voice spoke.
“Hi, is JT available?”
“Speaking, who is this?”
“Sugar.”
“Oh, I guess you got my referrals, huh?”
“Yeah, I did and I appreciate it a lot. You got me a bonus for that.”
“That’s good. So are we going out tonight or what?”
“Sure, where do you want to go?”
“Let that be a surprise. Where do you want me to pick you up from?”
“I can meet you somewhere.”
“OK, well meet me at the bar where I met you at 11:00 P.M.”
“OK, cool.” I called Dyna and asked her if it was OK for the driver to drop me off. She approved and let the driver know to wait on me until I changed. I got in the house and struggled to find something to wear. I ended up with a little black dress that hugged all of my curves. There was a time that I thought that I was overweight, but since meeting Dyna I now appreciated my size 8 frame. I had a round butt that most women would die for and every man wanted to grab. Those were Dyna’s words to describe it. After showering and changing, I ran back out to the car and directed the driver to my destination. It wasn’t long before we reached the bar.
Nervously I got out of the car to find JT leaning up against a white Expedition. I smiled as I walked in his direction after signaling the driver to leave. I switched over to him with my sexy newfound walk and he grinned from ear to ear, looking me up and down. Once I reached him, we hugged and the smell of his cologne tickled my nose.
“You look good, girl. Damn good!” he said, licking his lips like LL Cool J.
“I’m glad that you approve.”
“So let’s go,” he said, walking me around to the passenger side door.
“I would have worn something different if I’d known I had to climb up in this big truck.”
“Sorry, I like big trucks.” He smiled.
I climbed into the truck, shortly exposing my black thong; I could see the delight on his face as he peeked. Our night began with dinner and we talked about our lives.
“So how did you get into the business that you’re in?”
“I had a big fight with my mom and I had to leave. I had met my boss while working at Bloomingdale’s. As a mater of fact, I have to call them and let them know that I won’t be coming back.”
“You like your job that much, huh?”
“I need the money, that’s all. What about you, do you like your job?”
“Yeah, I love partying, so to make money while partying, it’s a no brainer.”
“I bet you get a lot of women falling all over you.”
“Not at all, a lot of women are scared of me. They think I’m a playboy.”
“So you don’t have a woman?” I couldn’t believe a man with his looks and smooth talk would actually be single.
“I’m not dedicated to anyone,” he replied, staring me in the face.
“So I guess that means that you have friends that you have sex with?” I tried to keep eye contact, hoping I would be able to catch him in a lie. I would hate to gain feelings for him and find out later on that he in fact had a girlfriend.
“I didn’t say that,” he laughed.
“What’s so funny?”
“That you asked me that, I told you that I’m not dedicated to anyone, and that’s what’s imp
ortant. What about you?” He quickly turned the heat on to me.
“I’ve never had a man before. I’m still a virgin.”
Laughing hysterically, he said, “Get the fuck out of here! You are out here promoting an escort business and you expect me to believe that you are a virgin? That’s some bullshit if I ever heard it.”
“I’m serious! Today was my first day, and before that, no guy has even looked my way,” I said, defending myself. I knew that I wasn’t lying, hell I had no reason to. Though I could understand why he would find what I said humorous, it wasn’t funny to me. I hoped that everyone wouldn’t assume that I was loose.
“That’s really funny, but if you say so I believe you.” He smiled. “So what do you want to do when we leave here? Now that you tell me you are a virgin, I’m sure we won’t be heading to my spot.”
“Who said we couldn’t go to your house? Is sex all you want?” I asked, concerned that sex was his only intention from the start.
“Not at all. I want you to be my girl eventually, but sex is definitely part of the plan. That’s part of any relationship ain’t it?”
“Yeah, I guess it is. So if things work eventually, we’ll get to that, but for now we can go to your spot and chill.”
“Cool.”
After eating we drove to his apartment in Southwest Philly. It was a large two bedroom apartment, much larger than the apartment that I lived in with my family. JT’s apartment was definitely all masculine. Black leather furniture, Scarface pictures on the walls, a huge fish tank with all different types of exotic fish. Playstation games piled up from the floor almost stood as tall as me. There were random boots and sneakers on the floor in different spots and rooms. It smelled like cologne, which was good. The scent was one that I remembered from the moment I met him.
