When I turned on my computer this morning, I had an e-mail from a woman with whom I went to college. The message included an invitation to come and spend a weekend in Atlanta. Fortunately, my husband would be in Europe the weekend she suggested. This would be perfect. New Orleans is only about a ten hour drive from Atlanta. And it had been a while since I'd seen the scenery along the way. A late spring drive would be just lovely. I e-mailed my travel plans and counted away two weeks.
I spotted her outside a rest station with her thumb out and a sign that read "Atlanta, please!" She looked young--19 or 20. Medium-tall, shapely in a pair of tight jeans with strategically placed rips, white t-shirt with no bra, dark sun glasses and a baseball cap hiding her hair and its color .She looked harmless. I could use the company, I mused.
"Hi. I'm going to Atlanta. Want a lift?"
"That would be great. I'll be glad to repay you," she answered, smiling.
"But, sweetheart, you're hitching. If you could pay, you'd have another means of transportation." I was a little puzzled at her statement. Am I doing the right thing here?
"Don't worry, I'm very normal. What I am is a call girl who deals strictly with a female clientele. I would only accept a ride from a woman such as yourself. It would be my pleasure to repay you with my expertise--if you so desire."
Pretty speech, I thought. "Get in."
She dumped her gear in the back seat and bounced in next to me, sticking out her hand. "Hi, I'm Eve."
"Hello. I'm Katharyn. Nice to meet you. Do you have friends in Atlanta?" I asked as I pulled off.
"No. I'm just looking for a different place to hang for a few weeks. I was bummed with New Orleans.
"We didn't run out of women, did we? I'm from New Orleans." I asked, laughing.
"No way. But one of my clients, a young lawyer, thinks I'm the only one left. She took me to Paris for a week. Man, we did it everywhere. But she wants me to quit my business and live with her. That is something I will never do. I'm letting her cool her heels for a while. So I dumped a few things in my duffel and on impulse decided to ride my thumb. I love an adventure."
"So, Eve, I know what you do. But how did you get where you are?"
Well, it began three years ago when I'd barely turned 18. When I told my parents that I only thought I was a lesbian, they cut me off financially. I dropped out of college after my first freshman semester to support myself. There wasn't enough money in the odd jobs that I did. A young woman propositioned me at closing time at a cafe where I worked. I'd never been with a woman--only lusted in my mind--and was nervous. She did me every night for the next week teaching me everything I now know. I walked away sexually satisfied for the first time in my life. Then I discreetly began to solicit women. My reputation grew by word of mouth. The rest is history."
"That's very interesting, Eve."
"I meant what I said Katharyn. If you decide you want my services, I'd be more that happy to oblige. At no charge, of course. You wouldn't believe the women out there, Katharyn, who want that softness and knowledge of sex that only one woman can give to another. I have had in my short time in the business young mothers with school-aged kids, bankers, librarians, college girls, socialites. You name it. One older lady once hired me to come out to her country home on a weekend. She never got undressed, but only wanted to raise my dress, put her hand in my panties and feel me up. I love what I do, I do it well and am paid handsomely. In my bag, I have a couple of little black cocktail dresses, high heels and discreet jewelry. And a few toys. I can sit at a bar, fend off men, travel to the ladies room several times and come out with client's names in my purse. Women see me, know what I am, and want to fuck with me. I have had women in their expensive homes, on love boats to Bermuda, in dumpy motels, on secluded beaches and in the backs of vans. I give women what they want--the touch of their own."
"Well Eve, let's travel until nightfall. I'll get us rooms and then I will decide."
"Cool."
