THE RELUCTANT CALL GIRL
Caroline stepped off the âplane at LA airport and drew a deep breath. This was the start of an adventure that she had dreamed about for a long time. She was about to become a film star!
Her parents had split up when she was twelve and as a result Caroline had developed into a very independent girl. Not listening to family and friends who had told her that her ambition would not prove to be so easy to obtain, she had a single-track obsession - to go to Hollywood and become an actress.
Her father had been a colonel in the army and had married her mother for her money. However, the money eventually disappeared and part of it had gone on educating Caroline at Roedene School, a top class English Public School for girls. Consequently Caroline, who had just celebrated her 18th birthday, had grown into a beautiful English Rose. She had all the poise, charm and aristocratic bearing that one would expect of such an education. She was sure these Americans fell for such things!
The first thing was to find some accommodation. Her parents strongly disapproved of what they considered her wilful disregard of their advice and she therefore arrived almost penniless. She had taken the precaution of finding the addresses of a couple of acting agencies and made straight for one of them. The woman on the desk was very helpful and kind and told her that she might be able to find a small apartment but meanwhile she was welcome to stay at her house for the night. How generous these Americans are, thought Caroline.
Sure enough next day she spent almost all of her money on a deposit and was installed in her own modest little apartment. The next couple of weeks were spent trawling round agencies until she was offered an audition to test her acting skills. It must have been beginners luck because a part in a TV advertisement which was about to be shot required a girl that fitted Carolineâs particular qualities exactly. The money from this came just in time and Caroline was solvent again!
However, she soon discovered that many of the worldâs most shapely females had much the same ambition as her and hundreds of them regularly make a beeline for Hollywood. Although she landed the odd TV advertisement bit part, she was flat broke most of the time. One film director was taking an interest in her and asked her out for a meal. He turned out to be just another gigolo intent on getting the classy Caroline into bed â and she was having none of it! However, things were getting desperate and she was never certain where the next cent was coming from. So when this film director suggested to her that he could introduce her to a woman who could help, she jumped at the chance.
Caroline had no idea what she was letting herself in for when she arrived at the sumptuous mansion in Beverley Hills. She was admitted and shown to a room where, to her surprise, she found herself in the company of three other girls. A door opened and another girl emerged and one of the other girls went in. When it was Carolineâs turn she entered the room and an elegant lady who was probably in her fifties, shook her by the hand.
This lady came straight to the point. âI am the managing director of a company who provide companionship for wealthy clientsâ, she said. Caroline rose to leave. âYou mean to say that I am being interviewed for a position of a tartâ, she said! âNo, no my dearâ, said Dominique, as she was called. âJust hear me out. Nothing could be further from the truth. You must remember that this area abounds with millionaires and wealthy men who crave the company of a woman or girl who can converse with them on their own level and who can provide genuine companionshipâ. Caroline was unconvinced. âYou mean a Call Girlâ, she said! âHoney, I can employ plenty of attractive young ladies and I really donât need you to take up my timeâ. Caroline remembered that she was at her wits end to provide money for food and rent and thought that she ought to hear Dominique out.
âEmpty your handbagâ, ordered Dominique! âWhatever forâ? âJust do it Honey or please leave and ask the next girl to come inâ! Caroline hesitated and then did as she was told and tipped her handbag contents on to a table. âThatâs fineâ, said Dominique. Caroline had not been offered a seat and was still standing as Madame Dominique walked right around her and examined her general appearance and even looked at her shoes for scuff marks.
âYou may ask why on earth I am interested in the contents of your handbagâ she said, âand the fact is that it is an indication of just how smart and tidy you areâ! Caroline was indignant but at the same time fascinated at just how this woman went about her job! âYour general appearance is smart although I guess that you are living from hand to mouthâ! Once again Caroline was about to ask this woman just who did she think she was when she remembered once more that she was down to her last few dollars!
âI have to tell youâ, said Dominique, âthat I have interviewed five other girls today and none of them have been suitable. However, your attractive, smart appearance and your English accent with that unmistakeable upper class bearing that some of you English seem to exude is just right for the post that I may, and I emphasize, I may, offer you! Now get undressedâ! âI will notâ, said an indignant Caroline. âThen good afternoon to youâ! âWhy do you want me to get undressedâ, said Caroline. âI am not considering appointing you as a Call Girl, as you call it, but obviously my clients, who pay up to three thousand dollars per day for your company, will only want the most attractive young ladiesâ. Caroline pricked up her ears at the sound of three thousand dollars per day, whew!
Tentatively she undid the buttons of her blouse and pulled it out of her waistband. Then she loosened her belt and stepped out of her skirt. She removed her blouse and stood in front of this impossible woman! âI said get undressed and that means everythingâ! Caroline was proud of her body and decided, what the hell, she might as well humour this woman and unclipped her bra. Finally she pulled her panties down and stood stark naked in front of Dominique. Perhaps she is a lesbian thought Caroline! Once again the autocratic Dominique walked around the nude figure of Caroline. âVery nice, very niceâ, came the comment. âJust one word of advice my dearâ, she said. âHair is out! Get yourself a nice razor and use it regularlyâ!
