The room was silent, apart from the ticking of the clock on the wall. Anna’s eyes were fixed upon it, her stomach churning, she knew Dave would be here any minute, and she still had no rent for him. She had spent the last week coming to terms with what had happened, she felt so used. A couple of times she had thought about calling her parents, asking to go back home, but she couldn’t face the ‘we told you so’ lecture yet. She had decided to stick it out for a while longer, maybe she would find a job. She felt sick knowing what was going to happen to her, but every so often she would feel an electric twinge run through her, thinking about the climax he had given her, but then she would feel ashamed and push the thought away.
There was a sharp tap at the door, and her stomach lurched, Dave was here. She opened the door, Dave walked in grinning, he was carrying a large black bag in one hand, and in the other, Anna’s rent book. She muttered a greeting, and sat down, he remained standing and showed her the open page of the book, showing her that he had deducted seventy-five pounds from her arrears, there was still weeks worth to pay off yet. Dave looked round and wrinkled his nose, ‘don’t fancy the living room today..you gonna show me your bedroom?’ he didn’t wait for an answer and headed for the stairs. Anna sighed and followed him up to the bedroom.
Dave put the bag down and motioned for her to sit on the bed, he unzipped the bag and Anna was horrified to see that he had brought a video camera with him, which he proceeded to set up. He switched it on, pointed at the bed and turned back to her, 'strip for me’ he whispered, she shook her head ‘no way, not with that thing on’ she said defiantly. He walked up and cupped her face in his hand tightly, slapping her across her cheek with the rent book, ‘just a little something for my private collection babe, nobody will see it, and it would knock a months rent off, you could pay what you owe quicker’. He grinned, tossing the book aside, knowing that he had made her an offer she couldn’t turn down, she’d do just about anything for the right price.
