My name is Gabriela.
No, it's not, but I'm not telling you my real name. I'm 29 years old. I was 29 last year too.
I'm a professional girlfriend. My boyfriends' wives would call me a whore.
My boyfriends buy me jewelry, clothing, pay my rent, my credit card bills, sometimes even give me shares in their companies or illegal stock tips.
What do they get out of it? What do you think? They get a beautiful woman to go out with, to secretly take on business trips, to make their friends jealous, but most of all, they get mind-blowing sex. The kind of sex their wives couldn't even dream of competing with. Of course, their wives are busy running the house, organizing the help, raising the kids, planning fund-raisers.
I don't have to do any of that crap. I spend my days making myself irresistible to their husbands. I get massages, facials, manicures, tennis coaching. I work out with my personal trainer four times a week. I make sure I'm the kind of woman a rich man will risk everything to be with, except that there's no risk. I'm discreet, I never make a scene, I never ask them to leave their wives, I never call them at home, I never get pregnant. They know this, and they appreciate it.
With all this, you'd think I'd be quite something to look at. You'd be right.
I'm 5'7", with long legs, curvy hips, a narrow waist and spectacular breasts. My mother was Brazilian and I have her tan skin, luscious black hair, bedroom eyes and full, pouting lips. I'm a total knock-out.
This week, I'm on a business trip in Milan with one of my boyfriends. He's in boring meetings all day, so I've been doing what I do second-best. Shopping.
I'm going to tell you what happened to me this afternoon.
I'd already hit his credit cards hard, and was thinking about a manicure, when, down a narrow side street, I spotted some beautiful lingerie in a small shop window. I wanted something new for this evening - none of my boyfriends ever see me in the same underwear twice - so I headed down there.
It was one of those exclusive stores where you usually need an appointment, but when the saleswoman saw me coming towards her with my Prada and Gucci shopping bags, she quickly unlocked the door.
She was a little taller than me, slender, blonde, pretty, with stunning gray-blue eyes, and wearing a slim black skirt and white blouse. A tape measure was draped around her neck.
"Entrare, entrare, cosa posso mostrare?" she asked.
"Do you speak English?"
"Of course, of course," she replied in a sexy accent, "come in, what can I show you?"
"I'd just like to browse, if that's okay?" I said.
"Naturally," she said, "coffee?"
I accepted, and before she turned to the little espresso machine behind the counter I noticed her look me up and down. Maybe just a professional assessment of my lingerie size, but maybe a little more.
"This could be interesting," I thought.
I began to browse the elegant assortment of lacy panties and bras arranged tastefully on gilt baroque-style shelving. As I came to the exquisite window display that had first drawn my attention, the saleswoman appeared with a tiny cup of coffee. She placed it on a small ornamental table and nodded towards the bustier I was admiring. It was white, with lace trim and pink ribbons between the cups and at the hips.
