Katie stepped out of her class building and pulled her sweatshirt a little tighter against herself as she was met with the brisk pre-spring air. It was Thursday and her final class had just gotten out. She was tired and would love to go back to her dorm and take a nap but she knew that she had a big test tomorrow she had to study for and the library was her next stop for the day. She sighed thinking about the long night of studying she had ahead of her. Luckily, though, the library was open until midnight on weekdays.
'First things first,' she thought, 'I need some coffee if I'm going to be up all night.'
It was a large college campus and there were multiple coffee shops spread out around the buildings. Her favorite was a small shop tucked in a small walkway between the agricultural building and the biology center. It made great espresso and it was open until nine o'clock which was great for late study nights. It was nearly empty when she entered which was normal for this time of day. There were just a few people sat around the café.
"Large mocha, please." She told the guy behind the counter and stared around absently as she waited for the drink to be ready.
"That'll be 4.50." the guy said as he set the cup on the counter.
"Let me take care of that." Came a deep, smooth voice from behind Katie.
She turned around to see a tall man in a dark gray suit standing behind her. He stepped forward and dropped a twenty on the counter from his wallet.
"Would you mind joining me at my table for a few minutes, miss?" he asked her, before walking to a table where he had been sat over in the corner of the café.
Confused, Katie took her drink and, after a moment of hesitation, followed the man to his table and sat across from him. He looked to be in his thirties. She could see he was handsome. His well-tailored suit fit perfectly to his muscular frame. His hair was short and black and he had a short, cleanly trimmed beard.
"Is there something you want?" she asked, still unsure of why she had been brought over.
"I'm sorry." The man said. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Nicholas Murphy. May I ask your name?
"Katie...Katie Winslow." She replied.
"Well Miss Katie, the reason I asked you over here is because you caught my eye and if you are willing to hear me out, I have a proposition for you."
"Umm...I guess." Katie said, with a little trepidation.
"Well I am a man of certain taste. I haven't quite yet found the woman for me yet but I still have needs as a man. And I prefer to avoid professionals, if you know what I mean. You have caught my eye and I would love for you to join me this weekend for the night."
"Okay I think I'm done here." Katie said, as she realized what the man wanted and got up to leave.
"Wait." The man said calmly.
Katie froze. He wasn't shouting or even speaking loudly but his voice held an authority that made her pause. He motioned for her to sit again and she reluctantly did.
"This is a proposition. A business deal I suppose but I would prefer you didn't think of it that way. If you will join me Saturday evening, I will pay you fifteen thousand dollars, cash." He said.
Katie thought she had heard him wrong at first. Fifteen thousand dollars? There was no way.
"I'm sorry, how much did you say?" She asked.
"Fifteen thousand. I could get an escort or hooker for a few hundred bucks but that's not my taste. I prefer someone like you. You are beautiful and more real than those women." He replied.
She had always known she was a somewhat pretty 22-year-old. She was a tiny girl at just over five foot. She had shoulder length, dirty blonde hair that she usually kept up in a ponytail. Her breasts were only relatively small B cups but they were perfectly shaped and she was okay with them. Her waist was slim and her little bubble butt went perfectly with her frame. Her eyes were big blue, doe eyes that people had complimented her on before.
But to think that someone would offer her so much money just to be with her for one night was crazy. She could really use the money. Her nursing major at this university had come at a steep tuition and she had plenty of student debt. Fifteen grand would go a long way. But she still wasn't sure. She had only had sex twice before. Once was on her prom night and it was an inexperienced and drunk fumbling mess for both of them. The second time was with a boyfriend who only lasted a couple weeks before they broke up. But she knew she needed the money. She closed her eyes and sighed.
"If I say yes, what are the exact terms." She asked.
"It's quite simple really. I will pick you up Saturday around seven o'clock and bring you to my house. You will do whatever I say for the night. Sunday morning, I will hand you fifteen thousand cash and you will be driven wherever you want to go."
The whole 'whatever I say' made Katie kind of nervous but in the end her thoughts of the money won her over.
"Fine. I'll do it" She said. "How will you find me on Saturday?"
"Put your number in my phone." He instructed before handing her a black iPhone.
She put her number in as Katie in his contacts and handed it back to him.
The man stood up and placed the phone in his inner suitcoat pocket.
"Very good, Miss Katie." He said. "I look forward to seeing you this weekend."
With that he left her sitting there in the café and walked off into the fading sunlight.
Katie couldn't hardly believe what just happened. She kept playing the scenario over and over in her mind as she drank her coffee. She was very nervous about this weekend and what the man had in store for her. But she also was equally excited about the money.
'Fifteen thousand dollars!' she thought giddily.
It was only Thursday but her stomach was tumbling and full of butterflies as she thought of Saturday. But even though she was scared of what was to come, she could also feel some anticipation in the bottom of it all. She finished her coffee and tossed the empty cup in the trash can before leaving the shop and heading for the library. She still had a test tomorrow and she had to focus and get to studying.
The next day seemed to drag on forever. Katie could hardly focus during class and her thoughts were drifting all over the place. She managed to focus up enough for her test and she thought she did reasonably well on it but as soon as she handed it in and walked out of the classroom she realized she was that much closer to Saturday and all her nerves returned. To get her mind off tomorrow, Katie decided to go spend some time with her friend Anna.
"Katie!" Anna exclaimed as she opened the door for her friend. "What's up, girl? How ya been?"
"I'm good." Katie replied, and walked into the dorm.
Anna was very much opposite of Katie in many ways. She was a taller girl at 5'9" with long brown hair that fell down her back. Her figure was ridiculously proportioned with huge double Ds, a tiny waist, and wide hips that formed her big butt. She was a very outgoing girl who was always going out with guys and partying. She had an infectious laugh and knew how to make people smile which was why Katie was here tonight. She knew that if anyone could distract her, it was Anna.
They talked for a while about how classes were going and all the work they had lately. Anna was a environmental science major so she understood the workload that Katie was under as well. Anna did most of the talking and Anna listened to her stories and jokes. Eventually they turned on Netflix and surfed through shows for the rest of the night. Around midnight, Katie crashed on the futon in Anna's dorm.
Katie woke up on Anna's futon and sat up groggily. She had a blanket on top of her and realized that Anna must have placed it there last night after she went to sleep. Anna was already gone by the time she awoke. She checked her phone and saw that it was just past noon. Suddenly she remembered her deal that she had made for tonight and that in seven hours, she would be going to have sex with a handsome older man that she barely knew.
She yawned and stretched, working out her stiff neck and shoulders before getting off the futon and heading back to her room. She still had hours before seven so she just pulled out her laptop and continued last night's ritual of watching Netflix shows. Halfway through an episode of The Office, her phone dinged. It was a text from a random number that read, 'seven o'clock. Be at parking lot K'. She knew it had to be from him. 'What should I wear?' she replied. A minute later came a reply. 'Wear something comfortable. I only care what's underneath'.
Katie shivered with nervousness and a bit of anticipation as she read that. She still couldn't believe that she, a small-town girl who was one of twenty thousand students at the university, could command such a high price for one night with her. She un-paused her episode and returned to watching the show.
