Alice POV
My name is Alice Turner and I am an escort. Yesterday was my birthday and I turned twenty-nine. My family passed away when I was a kid, I and my twin brother were raised by our auntie in a small town in the southwest of England.
She did her best to give us everything we needed but when she met her husband things changed.
He became abusive towards me so I left when I was sixteen. My brother stayed because he said he needed to take care of her and make sure she wouldn’t get hurt.
I started working as soon as I left their house. I found a job as a Kitchen Porter in a hotel and they allowed me to live in. Soon after my brother got into some trouble and was arrested. I had to pay bail and I used a lot of the money I had saved. I have been saving his ass since then.
When I turned eighteen I had saved quite a lot of money so I decided to move to London. I thought I would be able to find a job quickly as I did back at home. But I was wrong. I ended up in a safe house where I spent a couple of nights until I was able to rent a bedroom in a shared house. I ended up working as a waitress but I didn’t make a lot of money. That’s when I met Karen. She took me in and helped me. She lived in the same shared house as I did. She was working as an Escort and she was making quite a lot of money. There was rarely any sex involved. She said she only had sex with the guys she was actually into. Then she became someone’s sugar baby and stopped working. When she ended things she had enough money to open her own escorting agency and I started working for her.
I went back to school and I am in my last year of nursing school. I am specialising in being a midwife.
I am her best-paid escort. I only work with high society men and I enjoy it. Usually, it’s only weekends away without sex.
I’ve never had sex with any of my Joe’s. I always refused and they always respected it.
I was getting out of class when my phone started to ring. It was Karen. She might have a job for me.
“Hello Love” - I say when I answer.
How are you today?” - she asks
“I’m great. Just finished class for today, and you?” - I ask
“I’m good”
“I know you didn’t call me to ask how I am, spill it” - I say and she giggles
“Alice, I’ve got the perfect job for you” - she says with a chirpy tone.
“Oh really? Who is he?” - I ask. I know for a fact she won’t tell me who it is until they accept my profile and before I say yes.
“Harry Payne” - she says
“Your friend?” - I ask. I’ve heard a lot about him. He always offered to get her out of this life but she never took it. They used to be good friends and every time something about him would come out on the media she would show me. She always had a crush on him but she never acted on it.
“You want me to escort your teenage dream guy?” - I ask as I cross the street.
“Yeah, please? You will be perfect, he doesn’t want sex and he will take you to Italy” - she says and I smile
“For how long?” - I ask
“Two weeks” - she says and I shake my head
“I can’t, I have my final exams next week” - I say
“Can’t you find a way of having them another time? Alice, this is a lot of money, two hundred” - she says and I gasp. With that money, I could stop working for her and just finish uni and then start my job.
“Fine, I’ll call in sick, but I will need the doctor to pass me a sick leave” - I let out
“You won’t regret it” - she tells me
“Yeah, I’m on my way for my blood tests and to pick up the outfits” - I say
“I’ll be waiting”
I stop a taxi and I give the address to the agency. All the clothes we wear on our jobs we get from there, she has everything we need. From luggage to wigs. Clothes of different styles. She usually has a stylist helping us out choosing the right things for the occasion.
As I walk in I am greeted by the receptionist and I walk straight into the wardrobe area.
Karen is sitting there with the stylist picking up my new wardrobe.
“That won’t work” - she says looking at me.
“Good thing he’s not here now then” - I say as I sit next to her
“Here” - she says passing me the file.
I grab it and I start reading it. That guy is really handsome. Probably the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen, intriguing.
I read our background story. In theory, we have been dating for four months now.
All of his favourite things were described on the file but I already knew most of them as Karen told me everything she knew about him over the years.
“Any questions?” - Karen asks guiding me to the salon part of the wardrobe area.
“Nope” - I reply as I sit and the hairdresser starts making perfect fat curls on my hair.
“Here” - Karen says passing me my passport and spending money.
“Thanks” - I say putting it on my backpack.
After my hair is done with highlights and extensions of all sorts I get up and grab my stuff to leave.
After the luggage’s are ready I take them to the taxi that will be taking me home. Harry will be picking me up from there tomorrow.
I give my address and I sit back relaxing.
As I get home I drop everything on the little cupboard near the door and I greet my Cat Maria. She meows around my legs as I pour her some food and water. Karen always takes Maria to her flat when I’m away.
I sit on the sofa and I turn the tv on with my cup of tea. Tomorrow will be interesting. I look down at the file again and I smile . He is a handsome man. It won’t hurt my eyes.
I put my cup in the kitchen and then I go to bed. I need to try and relax so I can sleep. He is picking me up early in the morning.
Harry POVI wake up with my alarm on my phone. I turn it off and I get up stretching my back. I had a horrible and uncomfortable night sleep. I walk into the bathroom and get myself ready for the gym. I have a private gym inside my flat. I live in a three-bedroom flat in front of Hyde Park in London. I love it here. I can see the park from the Gym window while I do my exercises. After doing my cardio and lifting some weights I decide to go out for a run. It’s seven in the morning and not a lot of people are out. It’s is a lovely spring day and it is already getting hot. I run down and when I get to the park I put my EarPods on. Music blasting that’s all I need. I start running and to my surprise, I bump
Alice POVI get up at seven with my alarm playing some random song. I turn it off and I get up to make a cup of coffee. The day doesn’t start before I have coffee. I sit near my window looking out. Today is a lovely day. I open the window a little and I put some food in a bowl for Maria. Not long after Karen would be here to pick her up and take her home. I walk to the bathroom and I have a quick shower doing my skin routine and moisturising my skin after. As an escort, I need to take care of myself. After all my appearance is everything in my job. Once I get out Karen walks into my flat. She has a spare key.“In ringed” - she says
Harry POV I keep looking at Alice through my shades pretending I am looking at my phone. She’s looking out of the window not paying any attention to me. Her face lits up as she sees the monuments we pass by. I’ve never really paid attention to my surroundings when I’m being driven to hotels. I stop looking at my phone and look out of the window. Rome is not a foreign place to me. It’s my second home. I’ve lived here for two years after my break up with my ex. I needed some time away and I came to Rome. I obviously worked here but I never did the touristy thing. Maybe I should. I think Alice would enjoy it. Maybe I can take her to the Pantheon. And to the Vatican. “We’re here sir” - I hear the driver calling me from my daydream. I open the door and Alice hol
Alice POVI was in shock when I saw Harry appear in front of me wearing ripped jeans. Adidas trainers and a white t-shirt. His t-shirt hugged his muscles showing of the perfection under the fabric. He put a baseball cap on and we walked out of the bedroom. We walked past the press unnoticed which made me happy. I don’t know how to react in front of them. The day has been absolutely amazing. We walked and talked a lot. I got to know the real Harry. Sometimes he can be arrogant but then he stops and corrects himself. I think he is used to people wanting something from him, but this time it’s the other way around. He wants something from someone else. He wants me to help him. Today helped me to get into my character of a loving girlfriend. We had lunch and dinner out. All in small restaurants that he knew from the
Alice POVI Have a quick shower and do my skin routine. Once I come out of the bathroom wrapped in the fluffy bathrobe I see Harry sitting in the front room reading the newspaper with another mug of coffee. He looks so sexy with his wet hair brushed back. I close the bedroom door and I get dressed.The blush pink dress hugs my curves. The dress has a pencil skirt that goes to my knees. I put on the black high heels and black thin belt on top of the dress.I do a very neutral and soft makeup. My hair tied perfectly into a low ponytail. I spray my perfume and I walk out just holding my clutch. Harry’s eyes meet mine and I see his eyes
Harry POVAfter the Pantheon, we walk back to the hotel. It takes us around thirty minutes but I enjoy Alice’s company. She is grounded and she has some culture. I’ve apologised to her a thousand times about my mother and my family but all she says is that she is okay and she’s just doing her job.That gets to me. That she only sees this as a job. I am hoping to become her friend. She is different from the girls I’ve met before.As we are walking one of the journalists spots us and starts following us. I hate when they do that. If you want a photo just ask for it and get it done. Don’t follow me around. It drives me insane. I stop walking and I turn around to face the guy.
Harry POVOnce we get to the hotel restaurant we are taken to the table where my parents and Harold are sitting.“Sorry we’re late” - I say shaking my brother’s hand and kissing my sister in law’s faceI see them eyeing Alice from head to toe. I put my arm around her waist. And pull her close to me.“Mother, father” - I say as I kiss her face and shake my father’s hand.“You’re late” - mother says“I know. I’m sorry, I had some work I had to take care of” - I say “It is extremely disrespectful” - mother says and I can feel Alice shifting her weigh
Harry POVToday is the rehearsal dinner. I don’t get why they do this. Why rehearsal something like a wedding? I don’t even know what to expect and honestly, I am not bothered. I might come up with an important business meeting and not attend. Since Alice got annoyed with me I struggled to attend all the functions for this wedding. I just want this to be over so I can go back to my life and forget about her. I know it will be hard considering I have been spending twenty-four hours with her constantly. She can make me smile even when I don’t want to. Just looking at her makes me want to drop everything and wrap my arms around her. “What time are we going?” - Alice asks bringing me back from my thoughts
