“Wow Bette you look amazing! Are you going on a date?”

Bette was looking at her own reflection in the mirror. After trying tons of clothes, she finally settled on Cami top with double straps in floral prints and scoop neckline, cropped skinny jeans and black pumps. The soft raven curls were down freely brushing her smooth bare shoulders. Her smoky eyed look which successfully hidden the dark circles under her eyes and only made her appear sexier and sophisticated. She honestly couldn’t remember the last time she went out on date, about six years ago maybe when she and her no good of an ex-husband were dating. It was ages ago but she couldn’t really remember being this nervous probably because she wasn’t just meeting someone… because in just less than an hour she was about to meet a total stranger… a woman.

The caramel skinned beauty wasn’t sure if she could call this meeting with Isabella, the woman who posted the indecent advertisement on a well-known advertisement website, a date rather she would like to treat it as a business rendezvous. The woman wanted someone who would fulfill her sexual desires and curiosities in exchange of money. It wasn’t just a one-night stand, Isabella made that clear in her ad, the woman was offering Bette a job to be her personal assistant by day and secret lover by night and although it involved sex, nonetheless it was still a job, a job that would entail attractive compensation. She couldn’t care less if people would say that she was about to whore herself but for a single mom who just recently got fired from work and creditors practically breathing down her neck all she cared about was to make sure that there was food on the table and roof over their heads.

She looked at Molly’s reflection in the mirror and gave her a small smile “Not really…”

Molly was Angelica’s nanny. She was a nice girl and Bette liked her but she didn’t think the 19-year-old nanny would understand “… I’ll just meet some friends” she lied

“Well for someone who is just going to meet some friends you look so hot!”

 “Thanks”
