Chapter 51 Camille
He had apologized for not lasting as long as usual.
"But most people my age are dead," he said in his defense.
She giggled at his statement, kissed him and got out his bed.
"Whatever you say old man but once again you fucked the hell out of me. I should charge you extra but you are one of the few that make sure I have an orgasm so you owe me the usual."
"In the envelope, as usual."
He got out of bed and took her hand then led her to the kitchen. He took a pork roast out of the oven, sliced two portions off it then put them on plates. He spooned a fair portion of yellow rice with peas on each plate then went to get silverware.
Camille said, "This smells delicious."
Soon after she got her utensils she said, "This is delicious."
It was their usual routine. She would come to his house on Sunday nights, they would fuck, and they would eat dinner, and then she would go home.
He was in fact the lawyer that had defended her when she was arrested for drug possession. His name was Wilson and he was fifty-two and physically fit although his hair was almost all white.
He liked her and kept tabs on her. When he learned she had become an escort he called her and she had been his Sunday fuck for nearly a year.
He suggested that she come on her own and not have to give her agency part of the fee. It had been that way for over six months.
"So, how are the girls?"
"Fine, they love living with Mom and Mom loves having them there. They love Felicity but I am afraid I am becoming a peripheral person to them."
"You would have become peripheral to them sooner or later anyway. They are teenagers, it happens. The important part is that they are growing up healthy and happy."
"You are so smart, you always say the right thing. That really is the important part isn't it?"
"Yes, that and always visiting me on Sundays."
Camille giggled and said, "I always leave here in a good mood."
"Even last Sunday when I had the malfunction?"
"Even the Sunday before that when I was having a malfunction."
"So, why don't you come earlier on Sundays? You can help me in the yard, help me at the grocery store, go out to dinner with me."
She started to laugh but saw he was dead serious.
"You would allow people see you with a whore?"
"No. However I would be pleased to be seen with you. We would be in places your clients would be unlikely to be unless their wives are with them. If any one recognizes you they will do their best to ignore you."
"But you would still be with a whore."
"Or my very naughty daughter. Either way it would make me look good."
She shook her head and after a couple of bites of food she began to giggle.
"A very naughty daughter. You are a strange old man."
He agreed he was then asked, "At what time do you leave Felicity to get back to the city?"
"At two. It takes me a bit over an hour to get back."
"So why not come straight here instead of being home alone for four hours?"
"I go to the Laundromat, clean house."
"I have state of the art washer and dryer. You could do your laundry here while naked. If you clean your house and put the laundry in the car before you go south then you can come straight here and it would save you lots of quarters."
"You just called me a two bit whore," she said with a barely suppressed smile.
"I would never do that. I know how much you charge."
She stood to put her dish in the sink then kissed him.
"Camille, how old are you?"
"Thirty two but my clients think I am twenty six. No one calls a thirty two year old for sex. Well except for you.
You already knew how old I am, didn't you. You know everything about me, my Mom, my daughters, the bastard. And yet you want me to spend more time with you."
He stood and put his plate in the sink then embraced her.
"I know your husband left you holding the drugs. I know you have never used. I know you spent a year trying to find a job before becoming an escort.
I know you have been beaten up by burglars at home and did not report it to the police because you are afraid they would revoke your probation.
And yet I know you are a good decent woman. I know you are trying to find your way to a decent life."
She looked at him with affection and almost burst into tears in his arms.
He led her to his bed and tucked her in.
"Rest a little while before you leave."
He kissed her lips and left her there.
Fifteen minutes later he saw she was asleep. Two hours later he joined her in bed. She awoke briefly and he said, "Spend the night, it's raining hard out there."
She kissed him then turned her back to him. He cuddled up behind her and they went to sleep.
He had coffee and toast ready for her when she staggered into the kitchen. He was dressed for work.
"Why did you not wake me up?"
"I did but you threatened to kill me so I let you lie."
"So now I'm a dog."
"Pure bred,"
She kissed his lips and fixed her coffee.
"Well I have to go. Lock the door on your way out please."
"You are leaving me here? What if I stole you blind?"
"Anything in here that you prefer more than me please go ahead and take it."
Her expression was exactly what he hoped. He kissed her and left.
Two hours later she called him at work. She was crying.
"They broke into the house again last night. They trashed the place, they think Randy hid money here."
"Stay there until the cops arrive. Tell them what you suspect. As soon as they leave the house pack what you can in twenty minutes and go to my house. There is a key in the mouth of the guard frog."
"Thank you, thank you."
He called the cops and sent them to her house. He explained she was a parolee and would be terrified of them but she was not a criminal.
When Wilson got home that afternoon he saw she had cleaned the house and was doing laundry. She smelled a delicious dinner.
He went to his room and changed to gym shorts and t-shirt.
As he walked past the spare bedroom she was coming out wearing only a t-shirt. She jumped into his arms and kissed him.
"Thank you, I was getting ready to do some laundry when it crossed my mind I did not have another place to go except here."
She kissed him again and led him to the kitchen table.
"It has been a while since I cooked a full dinner. I took this out of my freezer this morning after I packed my clothes.
I hope you like it."
It was a whole roasted chicken and it was delicious. He praised her cooking and helped her clean up.
He filled a glass of wine for her and got a beer for himself and walked her to the living room. He sat on the recliner and she curled up on the couch and they watched the news.
During a commercial he asked her how the cops had treated her.
"With respect and concern. One was a woman and she hugged me when I couldn't stop crying. I think she had been a client of mine but it is hard to tell when they are in uniform.
They had dusted for fingerprints before I left.
I did not tell anyone where I was going except the lady cop."
"Good thinking. I don't want anyone trashing my place. So, how much money was it?"
She began to claim ignorance but saw in his face he already knew.
"Almost ninety thousand."
"And you gave it to your Mom."
"Yes, I did when I took the girls to her."
