A Usual Day
"Some professions require to spend days, some profession requires weeks, but mine is profession of few nights."
" And few nights are sufficient for your survival?" She asked with a glint of smile.
" Sufficient? I think it's plenty. Let me tell you a secret. Come closer to me."
She leaned forward while bringing forward her ears.
"I know I am getting underpaid for my skill. Don't you think so?"
She laughed and nodded in affirmation, " After today's session. I can surely say so." She continued laughing.
"That's why I am saying I can get as much money as I want. But all I want is little money and little smile from ladies like you."
The day or rather night was over for Kros who had completed his today's session. Kros was a high-end male escort although for discreetness and sophistication he called himself a recreational artist. His charm and wits had won him a prestigious list of clients. Most of her clients try to relive those experiences. But Kros has his own philosophy. He at most allows two meetings. After that he doesn't meet the same client again.
Kros came out of the hotel room leaving her client in the room. He walked out of hotel lit a cigarette. He looked back at the room where he was few minutes before. From the draped window he could see the silhouette of the lady who in his arms. He thought about the last few hours he spent for the last time and then completely discarding that memory he called for a taxi. He straight away went to his house. The house was spread over in acres with sprawling lawns and equipped with all modern luxuries. He disrobed and went straight away into the shower. After shower he straight away went to bed.
Kros was woken up by a phone call.
"You have a new client for today." Said the voice from other side. It was of Kathy's. She worked as a manager for Kros. She books the appointment as well as manages the schedule for Kros.
"What time?" Kros asked still half asleep.
" The usual. Client will be present in the hotel from 9 P.M onwards."
"I will reach around 10, then." Even before Kathy could react, Kros cut off the call. Usually, Kathy was well aware of Kros's nature, so she didn't used to call but this time it was different.
Kros's phone rang again. Still sleepy, Kros looked again at his phone. The screen displayed, ' Kathy'. Kros was feeling irritated. But he knew that there must be a reason for her to call again. He picked up the phone but this time he was attentive.
"Hello?" Kros said, " Is there any issue with the client?"
"Yes, that's what I was going to tell you." Kathy replied, " The client is special. "
"Booking has not been done by client?" asked Kros. He was well aware of the nuances of the trade.
" No, it hasn't been done by client. Actually, it's been done by a male, who hasn't disclosed his name. He just told me to especially tell you to take special care of her."
" I don't understand?"
" I am in the similar situation. But the thing is that we have been paid a million dollar in advance."
"What?" Kros jumped with surprise.
" Yup, that's the case." Kathy replied.
Now sleep was miles away from Kros. He placed the phone near his pillow and started pondering on what to expect tonight.
