The phone starts ringing at half-past six. I'm awake, just back from the bathroom after a night of fitful sleep.
I frown, thinking about whom it could be. But then I remember... I've placed the ad yesterday in the local paper. It wouldn't be the first time they called me as soon as four-o-clock in the morning. It leaves me wondering if the ink is dry by then. Men are always in such a hurry. I'll never be able to understand them.
I pick up the receiver.
"Hello, early morning bird," I say.
"You're the broad who placed the ad?"
His voice is coarse and clipped, obviously in the habit of giving orders and expecting obeisance.
"Yes."
"How much?"
I laugh. Always the first thing they ask.
"Nothing at all, honey," I assure him, "I'm not in it for the money. I just want some fun without the hassle of a relationship."
I have a dark and sultry voice, very sexy and exotic. My mother used to say, that with a voice like mine men would still want to get in my pants, even if I should look better with a bag over my head... Of course she was joking about the bag. But my vocal chords are really my true magic.
This one however is a real suspicious bloke.
"All right, say I don't believe you, what's the snag in it?"
"None, none at all," I assure him, "No money, no obligations, just some wonderful moments between you and me. I am nobody's property, why should I not make some fun when I am in the mood?"
"So, you're not a hooker?"
"Call me that again and I hang up," I warn him.
"Sorry, sorry," he hasten to say.
He's silent for a long moment, muttering under his breath. But finally he puts the question in.
"When you're free?"
"Any time you want till Friday. This week I've nothing better to do."
He laughs, "You're a hot bitch, I bet. The straight stuff or ..."
"I would prefer that, but if you know some special tricks we can talk about it... However, no SM or filthy things like peeing... Anal is discussable only if you're not hung like a horse."
"Depends how good you're at it."
"Excellent, so they say. No one said it hurts anyway."
Stupid answer for a stupid question, if you ask me. But he has another laughing fit.
"All right, I'll be there by nine, if it's all right with you. I like a taste of pussy before I go to office."
