petulant huff and turn to my sulking face towards my
window.
    'It's also rude to ask a woman
her age.' Comes her weak response. At first, I am taken aback by
her sarcastic response but so pleasantly surprised by it, that I
find myself smiling, women rarely make me smile, out of bed
anyway.
    'Touche.' I smirk and she smiles
the most amazing smile back at me that makes her look so innocent.
'Dude she's a hooker' I remind myself.
    'I thought maybe we could get to
know each other' I say looking directing into her eyes and to her
credit she doesn't shy away or back down.
    'Why? We are never going to see
each other again after tonight.' She says in a sad whisper. I am
surprised and confused that it saddens me also.
    We pull up out my house and she
gasps in awe and surprise or maybe just plain shock, I think. Dem
hops out and opens my door then quickly opens hers. She gets out
slowing yet with such amazing grace, her big blue eyes never
leaving the large house and mine never leaving her. She is still
stood completely still as I make my way around the front of the car
and towards her. When I reach her I hold out my hand and capture
her's, she flinches and stumbles back in surprise by our
contact.
    'I told you I wasn't going to
hurt you. I meant it.' I assure her, smiling softly at her.
    'Sorry...' She whispers and
hangs her head as she follows my lead into the black and white
marble hallway, through to the bight white living room. I take my
jacket off, slinging it on the back of the black and grey leather
corner sofa, in the middle of the room.
    'Would you like a drink?' I
offer manners winning over the uneasiness I feel. It's a very
unusual emotion for me one I am not sure how to deal with.
    She just shrugs wrapping her
arms around her nearly naked body nervously. It's only in this
light I can really see her body, past all the bruises. My god is
she sexy. Beautiful pert breasts - not to big, not to small - like
they would fit in my hand perfectly. Her beautiful hourglass
figure, supported by long slim legs. I also notice how thin she is
and it angers me. How could anyone do something so repulsive to
such a beautiful girl. I snap out of my thoughts when I realize she
is staring at me, most probably because I am staring at her.
    'I am going to have a glass of
wine, would you like one?'
    She nods shyly and I make my way
into the kitchen and pour two glasses of Merlot. When I come back
she is still stood perfectly still where I left her.
    'Take a seat....' I realize I
don't know her name, what an idiot.
    'Lexi.' The beauty opposite me
says softly. 'My name is Alexis but you can call me Lexi.' A small
smile ghosted across her lip, I smile back as I pass her a glass
and she takes a sip.
    'Liam.' I respond as I hold my
hand out to shake hers, she looks at it in surprise but obliges and
I mentally curse myself. Who shakes hands with a hooker?
    'Why did you buy me?' She blurts
out. 'Forgive my rudeness but you don't look like the type of man
that has to pay for erm...you know...' She blushes and I wonder
just how innocent is this girl? She is a hooker for Christs sake
and she can't say sex! I am completely dumbfounded.
    'If I answer your questions,
will you answer mine?' I bargain, needing answers to some of the
question raging in my mind.
    'I will try.' She mumbles with
her head down again.
    'You didn't look like you wanted
to go with that man and he didn't look like the friendliest.' I
answer her with a shrug feigning disinterest. The truth is I didn't
want that scumbag to have her, I couldn't let him hurt her but I
wisely hold my tongue.
    'And why should you care?' She
looks so cute with her eyebrow raised.
    'Tut, Tut Lexi. My turn. How old
are you?' I ask smiling back at her, I can't help it though, her
smile is so infectious.
    'I am 18.' She states proudly -
in the way only an eighteen year old can about their age - and I
can't help but feel pleased and disappointed in equal measure. On
one hand she is legal, yet on the other there is a
