"Why? I thought this is what you wanted." She looked at him confused. "Isn't this the reason you were cheating on me with that slut Cherry?"
"No. I told you I had been drinking. She took advantage of me, kinda like what you're trying to do now."
"What! I have never done that. You invited me over."
" I didn't think you would actually show up." He admitted.
She was shocked at his admission. "Really?"
There was a long pause.
Russ spoke. "So we are getting back together?"
"No." She said without hesitation.
"Then why are you here?" He asked her.

Geo was on the phone with potential buyers from Hong Kong. He had studied mandarin and Japanese in his high school days. He was almost fluent in both languages. "I am honored to have your business until we meet next week." He said and bowed to them. They could see him on his office phone's pop-out flat screen monitor that was built into his desk. It was Geo's newest investment. He had enjoyed using it more than he had actually thought he would. He watched them return the gesture before disconnecting the call. The sleek monitor beeped twice, folded, and went back inside of the desk. His cell phone rang. It was Ronny's number. He decided to answer. "Speak." He demanded.
3 days later … Carolina pulled her car into the hotel parking lot. This afternoon she would be meeting and interviewing about the Companion position. If they liked her and her qualifications she would be hired. She hoped she didn't end up with some rich, bratty kid. She walked inside and immediately saw a sign that led her to the banquet hall. She opened the door on her left and saw about fifty uniquely beautiful women waiting in the large room. Everyone was dressed their best and seated as they had been instructed to do so upon entering the banquet hall. No one was talking. She noticed they were all attractive and around her age. She chose to sit in an empty middle row. There was a stage at the very front of the room.A few minutes passed and then a nicely dressed wo
She wanted to say no, but something wouldn't let her. "I can talk for just a moment. What's up?" It had been three days. Her mother's health was still doing really well. She had been able to attend class and this interview. It was a good feeling to be able not to worry so much about her or anyone. "Look, I'm really sorry about the other day. I didn't expect it. I ran into Noel the other day. She told me about your mom and how sick she’s been. How come you never told me, Carolina?” “I don’t know. I guess maybe I didn’t want sympathy.” "Why don't you come over tonight.” He suggested. “I really shouldn’t. You were right about me.” She admitted.
“Excuse me!” Carolina interrupted her before she could go any further. Her ex turned and looked at her then. His expression was that of a caught rat. "Slut." Trish spit at Carolina. "What did you just say?" She asked her, already knowing what was said. “You heard what I said. You’re a slut. “ She scoffed at the ironic remark. Carolina said nothing else, just picked up her keys and walked past her, making sure to shoulder shrug Trish hard enough to watch her falter as she exited Russ' home. “Carolina!” He called after her as she walked out of his front door. "Fuck!” She heard him yell.
Geo had been two years, three months, one week, and five days without the companionship or touch of the opposite sex. It wasn't because he didn't enjoy the touch of a woman. It was more because he was simply too busy and felt like a lady deserved her lover's full attention, and the past few years he was unable to do that. He never got home at a decent time, midnight was usually an early night for him. He went to bed even later working on the next takeover or business deal. What woman would want to be a part of his hectic life?Before becoming CEO he had known his father encouraged in-house relationships. He had dated three of his secretaries while he was married to Geo's mother. Once Geo was in charge he put a stop to it. He had replaced all the supervisors his father had hired except for one. Johnny DelMonte. He
Carolina arrived at the Mile Road Motel at 8:00 p.m. sharp. A valet took her car and the doorman opened the glass door for her to enter into the lobby. The hotel was very nice. It gave off a luxurious vibe. She knew could never afford to stay in a place like this. It was definitely out of her league. When she stood a few feet away from the front desk. A man she knew to be the concierge smiled and greeted her. “Welcome to the Mile Road Hotel. You are the final interviewee to arrive.” He walked from behind the counter and stood in front of her. She smiled at him. He smiled back. “I apologize. I didn’t know someone would be anticipating my arrival.”
It had taken Geo nine months just to convince his father and another three, along with a promise not to fire any of the women who worked there. His father had explained that the hotel was not just a brothel but also a safe haven for the women. They would be able to have a stable, legitimate income while helping themselves stay off the streets. By keeping his promise to his father, he had gotten the attention of non-profit organizations geared toward helping sex workers. They all wanted to apply his business model so they could help the sex workers in their community. Eventually making it nationwide. He hadn't really thought about it like the life-transforming initiative it was. He had thought he was just keeping a promise to his father, and in the process he ended up helping women get back in the mainstream workforce, providing them stable income so that they were f
Carolina had been waiting in the opulent Suite for over ten minutes when the doors opened and in walked one of the most gorgeous men she had ever laid eyes on. She automatically straightened her posture and stood up from the white sofa. He was impeccably dressed in an expensive, dark, gray suit with a thin black tie and matching shoes. “Hello.” She smiled out of nervousness. Now he stood a few feet in front of her. He introduced himself. “Hello, I'm Geo.” “I’m Carolina. It's nice to meet you.” “Pretty name.” She smiled at his compliment. She watched him survey the room as i
