It was late at night when the limousine pulled to a stop outside Amanda's apartment complex. When Rick looked over he found Amanda fast asleep. Gently shaking her shoulder, he roused her, only for her to awaken in incredible pain and completely drained. Barely able to stand, Amanda leaned heavily on Rick as he helped her out of the car and up the stairs to her apartment. Once she reached the front door, he reached into his jacket and handed her an envelope before quietly departing.
After a long, hot shower, Amanda dragged herself to bed and collapsed, utterly exhausted. Her thoughts swirled with memories of the chaotic night. Rick had gotten her out from the blackmail situation with Sean. However, she was now caught in a similar scenario, this time being triple teamed by three random black guys. Had anything really change for her? Was her situation any better? Within seconds she was fast asleep.
Amanda slept late into the afternoon, finally waking to the sun streaming through her bedroom window. On her nightstand lay the envelope, a stark reminder of the previous night. At the time, she had been too tired to care, but now, her curiosity peeked, wondering what was in the envelope.
Amanda winced in pain as she reached for the envelope. Her entire body hurt unlike anything she had experienced before. It was as if she'd gone twelve rounds with a heavyweight boxer, but the incredible pain extended to her vagina, throat, and especially her anus. Inside the letter were two pieces of paper. The first was a letter. She unfolded it and read:
"Amanda,
Here is your bonus check for last night. You did an amazing job! Everyone was impressed with you. Take the week off and relax, and I'll see you next Monday.
Rick"
Amanda's hands shook as she pulled out the second item, her heart nearly stopped when she saw a check for $25,000. Her mouth dropped open in disbelief as she stared at the amount. She turned the check over several times, as if she needed to confirm it was real. This kind of money was life changing for her. Overcome with excitement, she sprang out of bed, her aches and pains suddenly felt more like badges of honor than sources of discomfort.
The time off was a welcomed relief and a nice added bonus. Her body needed the rest, but more importantly, she needed space to process everything that had happened. The money cast the situation in a new light, shifting her perspective from feeling trapped in something degrading to seeing it as an opportunity. Yet, she couldn't shake the nagging thought. Did this make her a high priced whore? The questions were overwhelming, but for now, she decided to go along with it and see where it led.
With that kind of money, she was able to pay off the rent and even help her mom out. After a few days of much needed rest, she decided to indulge in one of her favorite activities. She decided to go shopping.
Amanda headed to the mall with the intention of spoiling herself. She spent the day browsing through all the high end designer stores, leaving with bags full of clothes, shoes and accessories. With her designer bags in hand, she made her way to the food court and stopped in a frozen yogurt store. As she approached the cashier she saw her friend Jenn behind the counter.
Jenn looked both adorable and ridiculous in her uniform. She had on a hot pink apron and a hat topped with an oversized foam frozen yogurt cup. Amanda couldn't help but think how embarrassing it must be to wear something like that, but Jenn's beauty somehow made her pull it off better than anyone else could.
"Give me five minutes" Jenn said, spotting Amanda as she worked behind the counter.
Amanda had planned to meet up with Jenn after her shift. She watched as Jenn rang up a customer before disappearing to the back to clock out and wrap up her workday. Moments later, Jenn emerged from behind the counter and walked over to Amanda, ready to go.
"Let's bounce," Jenn stated said with a grin.
Amanda and Jenn walked into a seafood restaurant inside the mall. The hostess led the girls to their booth as they slid in, Amanda clumsily struggled to fit all her shopping bags from her day long shopping spree into the booth between them. The hostess handed over the menus and Jenn opened hers. She immediately noticed the steep prices and her eyes widen with concern. Amanda picking up on it, quickly stepped in to ease her worry.
"Lunch is on me," Amanda offered.
"Well, look at you Miss Moneybitch," Jenn responded with a smile.
"Ya ya ya, things are going pretty well and I want to treat my best friend," Amanda said.
"I'll say, just look at all that," Jenn said, gesturing to the pile of designer bags beside her. "Who's dick you sucking to get all this?"
"It's not like that," Amanda lied. Even though Jenn was her best friend, she wasn't ready to share the truth. She felt ashamed of how she got the money and wasn't sure how Jenn would react.
"Bullshit," Jenn shot back at Amanda. "You ain't making all this from your lil', shitty personal assistant job. So what is it? You fucking your boss?"
Amanda quickly looked away, as her face slowly flushing red.
"Holy Shit! You're fucking your boss," Jenn exclaimed, bursting into laughter. "You whore!"
"Shhhh," Amanda hushed, glancing around nervously, concerned others might overhear Jenn's outburst.
"I knew it! God damn girl. How much he paying you? Give me all the details," Jenn urged.
Seeing Jenn's excitement, she decided to play it up a little. "You know, he just gives me a little extra and in return I give him a little extra," Amanda said, shaking her boobs playfully.
"Good for you. Fuck you're lucky. I wish I had a sugar daddy. I can't stand working at that shit job. I feel like a loser." Jenn replied, her eyes scanned the menu as she decided what to order.
Amanda glanced at her own menu, feeling a bit sheepish. Maybe she was lucky, she thought to herself, she hadn't thought of it that way until now.
"Amanda, you have to hook me up," Jenn said, her face now lighting up with excitement.
"Wait, what?" Amanda asked, caught off guard.
"Come on, your boss has to have a friend or something. I'm way sluttier than you ever were." Jenn teased with a smirk.
"Oh I don't know..." Amanda hesitated. She wasn't sure this was a good idea. Jenn had no idea what she'd be getting into and Amanda definitely didn't want to explain all the things she had done.
