This is my first submission. It's mostly a true story, but to protect myself and others, names and some other stuff has been changed.
Everyone's at least 18.

In Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts plays Vivian Ward, a streetwalker who's hired by Richard Gere's character, Edward Lewis. Edward's a wealthy corporate raider who gets lost in a bad part of town and asks for directions from Vivian, and she gives him tips on how to drive his car. Taken by Vivian, he decides to hire her as arm candy. Despite some rough patches, they end up falling in love. I'd read somewhere that it was originally going to be a realistic look at prostitution, but somewhere along the line, it got turned into a romantic comedy.
Bleccch!
I've known a couple of girls who have gotten into relationships with clients. Both of them were disasters. Jealousy, mistrust, the guys worrying about her past coming back to haunt them. Occasionally you hear about one lasting, but they're rare.
I began working in the "world's oldest profession" primarily to pay off my student loans and other bills. Getting laid was great, too, but it was mostly about the money. I had a college degree, but it was next to worthless because I couldn't find a job in my field.
It was aggravating.
I began stripping first. I figured I was blessed with an attractive face and a nice body and I've been told I'm pretty hot plenty of times. I'm about five-six and 130 pounds, I've got 34-C breasts, long light brown hair and blue eyes. I never really had a problem showing it off -- within reason that is. I found I was pretty comfortable being stark naked in front of a bunch of strange hormoned-up guys. But I had no ability for exotic dancing. Other girls made it look so damn easy, but I quickly learned that it's not. I quit within two weeks and got a job at a convenience store called the Happy Driver. It was near my old school and less than half-a-mile from my crappy apartment.
A few months later, we got the bad news that the store would be shut down when the company's lease on the property was expiring a couple of months later.
I began resubmitting applications and got a few interviews, but no callbacks.
One day, a horndog named Van was jogging past my apartment building. He'd been in the Happy Driver a bunch of times with a girl or one buddies. He was six-one or so and an athletic 190 pounds. With his dark hair and blue eyes, I think Van looked a bit like a young Christopher Reeve. And he looked pretty hung in those shorts! I would've gladly fucked Van, but I didn't want him blabbing about it all over town. I'd heard him brag to his buddies about nailing this girl or that girl. I didn't need a reputation as a slut. Van drove a Mercedes, which I guessed was a high school graduation gift from mommy and daddy. I would've killed to have any car that ran because my piece of junk Honda's engine went kaput. I didn't have the money for repairs much less a new car, so I sold it to a junkyard and bought a bike from a garage sale. Thank God I lived near the store.
Little did I know that Van would soon get his wish. I didn't intend to charge money men to fuck me. It started, I suppose, in a weird way.
One of Van's friends, a guy named Gerard, seemed so different than Van. He was quieter and seemed genuinely nice. He was a little taller than Van with blonde hair and grey eyes. I sort of liked him. One night, Gerard was in the store just before quitting time. A thunderstorm moved into the area and it began pouring. My heart sank. Seeing my glum expression, Gerard asked if I was alright.
"No, I'm not alright!" I whined. "I gotta ride a bike home in this!"
"Well, why don't I give you a ride?" Gerard asked.
I about kissed him. He waited around until I cashed out and did my end-of-shift work. Gerard drove a Mustang convertible, and the trunk lid wouldn't close all the way with the bike in it, but he didn't seem to care. The drive didn't take long. I invited Gerard up to my apartment. He looked shocked and very nervous. But the growing hard-on in his jeans looked inviting. I just glanced at it and smiled. It had been almost a month for me and I was horny. Gerard was shaking when I began unbuckling his jeans. I gave him a blowjob and he nervously undressed me and ran his hands over my body and then buried his face in my pussy. I dug a condom out of a drawer and rolled it over his cock. Having a real cock in me sure felt great, but there's actually not a lot to tell. Oh, Gerard was good sized. A little under eight inches and pretty thick. But he was totally lame and came in five minutes. I didn't cum once. Gerard looked disappointed. I didn't bother to hide my disappointment. He apologized and got dressed and left quietly. Thank god for toys and fingers!
About a week later, I was outside the Happy Driver taking a smoke break when Gerard rolled up in his Mustang. He apologized again and asked me out on a date to make it up to me. I turned him down flat. He asked again, and I said no again. He began whining.
God, grow some balls, little boy, I said to myself as Gerard ranted and raved. I snorted in disgust and took a final drag on my Marlboro Light and and stamped it out as I exhaled the smoke sharply.
"See ya around, Gerard," I sneered as I headed to the store entrance.
"Aw, jeez. I'm sorry, Elena. Please wait. I'm really, really sorry. I'm just tired, alright?" pleaded Gerard as he followed me. I ignored him as he implored to me again. "Elena? Please? Wait! I really need to tell you something."
I stopped and turned around and snapped at him. "Okay. What, Gerard?"
"Honestly, Elena, I really tried to do my best, but I couldn't help myself. I... I..." he began to say,. He looked around nervously. He walked closer to me, leaned in and said something I couldn't understand because a truck with a bad muffler passed the store and drowned him out.
"What?" I asked, when the noisy truck got further down the road.
"I was a virgin, dammit!" he said a little louder through his teeth. "You took my virginity, Elena!"
I gasped and my hand flew to my mouth. How was that possible?
"Ohmigod, Gerard! Are you fucking serious?" I blurted in shock.
He nodded meekly and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"So, I'm really sorry, Elena. I really, really like you a lot," he said. "You're hot. You're a fun girl. I tried to impress you. But doing it is a hell of a lot harder than watching it."
Then it all began to make sense. Gerard must've tried to pick up on how to have sex with a woman from Internet pornos. I saw his eyes well up. Suddenly, I felt for him.
"Oh, God. Oh, Gerard... I..." I said softly, not sure what to say next. I was totally bewildered at how a hot college guy with a big dick could've still been a virgin at his age. And his fraternity, Phi Omi, was notorious for the girls members attracted.
"I haven't done it since then," he said shyly. "I know you were disappointed, but..."
He shrugged sadly.
"I was kinda hoping that maybe you'd give me a another chance I guess," Gerard asked nervously.
I was totally convinced it wasn't an act. I'd taken the virginity of one other guy in my life, and Gerard reminded me of him. But that guy had told me before we had sex. Somehow I didn't pick up on Gerard being a virgin.
"It's okay, Gerard," I said with a little smile. "Apology accepted."
I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek to comfort him. I was about to say tell him I'd go on another date when his Mustang caught my eye. I remembered Gerard telling me that his dad was a exec with a major corporation. I forget which company Gerard said he worked for, and I don't really give a damn. Now you're probably going to think I took advantage of a distraught guy. Maybe I did. But as harsh as it sounds, I gave more of a damn about my situation than Gerard's feelings.
Phi Omi is a really exclusive fraternity on campus. I'd heard that if a prospect's parents made under two million a year, they just laughed at them. I already knew Gerard was Phi Omi, so I doubted he was on scholarship. Add it all up and it meant that he probably had money.
Then an idea hit me.
"Say, Gerard," I asked. "What if...?"
I looked around to see if anyone else was around. It was 2:00 am on a Tuesday. Of course there wasn't anyone around.
"Yeah, Elena?" Gerard asked with a hopeful tone.
I took a deep breath.
"Well, I was thinking that maybe we can help each other out," I said. "Now, don't get the wrong idea about me, but..."
