The following evening, The Girlsβ Room, The Pink Pony
Crystal has just settled on the couch to sedate herself with some mindless free-to-air television (the ancient TV in the girlsβ room doesnβt support streaming services and the management is too stingy to splurge on a Smart TV) when she hears a smoky voice behind her say βHey, Sexy.β Β
Crystal twists her neck around to find the new girl, Shanni, grinning at her.
βHey,β says Crystal politely.
βIβve got some guy in the room who wants a lesbian double,β says Shanni. βHeβs clean, well-dressed, business type. Heβs willing to pay a shitload of money, too. Are you in?β
βThank you for asking me, but no,β says Crystal. βWhy donβt you ask Carmen? Sheβs always up for a bit of girl-on-girl action.β
βBlondes don't do anything for me,β pouts Shanni. βIβm only interested in doing it with you. Youβre fucking gorgeous. Come on. Please. You donβt even have to do anything, Iβll do all the work. You can just lie back and enjoy yourself while I -β
βShanni, the reason I canβt do it is because Iβm busy right now,β says Crystal. βI have a booking.β
βYou have a booking,β repeats Shanni. βWhat do you mean, you have a booking? If you have a booking, why are you sitting on the couch watching TV? Where the fuck is he?β
βI have no idea,β smiles Crystal. βThis is the fourth week in a row he hasnβt shown up. But heβs still booked and paid for two hours. The two hours isnβt up for another ninety minutes. So you see, even if I was in the mood to do a lesbian double, I couldnβt. Iβm busy.β
βLet me get this straight,β says Shanni. βYou have a two hour prepaid booking every week with some guy who doesnβt even show the fuck up?β
βHe used to show up,β says Crystal. βHe just hasnβt shown up recently. I think he must have some dramas with his new girlfriend. But who cares as long as Iβm still getting paid, right?β
βWhatβs to stop you seeing other clients at the same time, though?β says Shanni.
βAbsolutely nothing,β says Crystal. βBut that wouldnβt be ethical, would it?β
