Sometime passed before Colette re appeared from the car, she received a bundle of money and the driver was on his way. She was glowing, the way she could even smile after being pimped was enough for me to throw up but I contained myself. I didn’t’ want her thinking that I was too soft for this.
“Five hundred for a session and a blowjob,” she said cheerfully. “Not bad for a night’s work,”
“Yeah,” I replied flatly, still no sign of life. How long was I going to have to wait?
“No one picked you up then?”
“Does it look like it?” Colette’s eyebrows raised and I raised my hands. “Sorry it’s just…”
“I know it’s frustrating isn’t it? My first time didn’t’t happen until two nights into the game. I’m advanced now.” Looking at Colette I could practically see inside her head. All the things she’d be buying Leona, the new clothes and anything else that took her fancy. We may have been doing the same thing to earn money but I was trying to make a life for myself. Callum thinks I’m secretly doing drugs but I know that he’d go mad if he knew that I was a… Prostitute.
“Leona will be asleep when you get home won’t she?”
“Yeah bless her. She’ll have been asleep two hours now but this will all have been worth it. She has to know that Mummy loves her,”
“And she will… She needs you there with her,”
“Char!” She closed her eyes. “Leona is my responsibility. Her father doesn’t’ want to know she only has me. This is my job. To provide for her,”
“Okay,” I sighed, a white cloud of smoke clouded in front of me as I huddled down underneath my coat. At last a black car pulled up, flashed its lights twice then beeped its horn. Colette smiled at me while I went to.
