The storm in my life
Chapter 6
Katherine’s POV
“That’s more like it”, his mother said, smiling.
I was really astonished and uncomfortable. It’s been almost
five years since I felt someone’s lips on mine.
“Honey are you okay?” his mum asked.
“Uh yeah, I am”, I said, smiling.
“She’s not used to public display of affection”, Noah said,
putting his arms around me and pulling me closer.
“Okay, I understand. Your mother was like that in the past”,
his dad, said smiling at his wife.
I couldn’t actually believe that I was dining with the
governor and his family. I didn’t know if I should feel good about it. I was
honored to be in their presence, but not in this condition. As an escort! If
someone had told me last week that I was going to be an escort, I would have
slapped the person, but here I am.
I was glad when the dinner was over.
Noah’s parents left before us. They both hugged me and told
me how happy they were to finally meet me and the looked forward to seeing me
again.
When they left, Noah and I sat there for a while. He didn’t
utter a word, and I wasn’t planning on saying anything too but when I
remembered that it was a job, I spoke up.
“Your parents are really lovely”, I said smiling.
“Yeah? They were also putting up an act just like we were doing?”
“How so?”
“I’ll rather not say”.
“Hmm, can I go home now?” I asked in the most polite way I
could.
“You don’t want to hang out for a while?” he asked.
I was about to tell him that it was getting late and I had
to go home before my parents start freaking out, but then I couldn’t, it will
be so unprofessional of me as an escort.
“If you want to hang out here, I will do so too”, I said
smiling.
“You don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do,
okay? If you want to go home, just say it and I’ll take you home”.
Is this escort job really that easy? Or he was just being a nice
person or is he just trying to test me or something? I wasn’t ready to lose
this job, so I had to be smart.
“I’m fine sitting here with you”, I said to him.
He observed me for a while and nodded his head.
“So, tell me a little about you. What’s behind that pretty
face?” he said, sitting up and leaning forward with his hands on the table.
I didn’t know if this was appropriate, but I just had to say
something. I didn’t want to be rude.
“Uhmm, there’s nothing really. I’m just a random girl with a
normal story like every other girl”.
“C’mon, tell me something other than that”.
“Uhmm, what exactly will you like to know”?
“Just anything that you’ll love to share, asking questions
will be more like an interview”.
“Just like your parents did?” I said without thinking and
immediately wished that I could eat back my words, but then Noah laughed about
it, so I relaxed.
“Yeah, they just had to do that to make me uncomfortable”,
he said.
“Really? How so?” I asked.
“I see what you’re trying to do. We’re talking about you
Katherine, not me. And I’m sure you already know a lot about me, since it’s
job”.
“Yeah, but not that much. Just what you wanted me to know”,
I said smiling.
“Mmm, so why are you doing this job?”
“The same reason why everyone is doing theirs”.
“Yeah, I know, but why this?”
I didn’t really know what to say. I was just mute.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. I’m sorry
for prying”.
I didn’t say a thing. I just looked at my phone to check the
time and I saw a missed call from my mum.
“Do you need to go?” he asked.
“I’m fine”, I said.
“C’mon let’s go”, he said getting up.
He stretched his hand out to me and I place mine in his, and
he walked me out.
We waited at the drive way for a while and his car arrived.
He quickly opened the door for me and I got in. He got in
too and drove off.
We arrived at the boutique that he picked me from, and I
stepped out.
“I’ll be waiting for you here”, he said.
“No you don’t have to. I’m good”.
“I insist”, he said.
“Fine, I’ll be back”, I said.
I walked in and the lady who attended to me earlier on
approached me.
“You’re back already”, she said smiling.
“Yeah, I’ll like to change back to my clothes”.
“Okay, they’re still in that same room”, she said, pointing
at the room that I changed in earlier on.
“Alright”, I said and I went over there to change my outfit.
When I was done, I took the dress back to her, but she told me to keep it, that
it was mine now. I was really surprised. This job was starting to get
interesting. Are all escort jobs like this, I asked myself. Hmm.
I got out, and Noah was still there in his car waiting.
I knocked on the window and he unlocked the door for me and
I got in.
“Wow, you look fabulous even in casual”, he said, checking
me out.
“Thanks”, I said, smiling.
He asked me where I lived and I told him and he keyed it in
his GPS.
The whole ride was silent till we got to my house.
“Thanks”, I said, smiling at him.
“Anytime Kat”.
He unlocked the door and I was about to step out, but he
held me back.
“Can we hang out tomorrow?” he asked.
“You’ll have to ask my agent”, I said.
“Not as an escort. As a friend”.
“Mmm, if I don’t have to work tomorrow, why not?”
“Is that a yes?”
“Yeah”, I said smiling.
He released me and I stepped out.
“Goodnight”, I said to him. He waved and then he drove off.
I got into my house and was glad that no one was in the hall
or the kitchen.
I went to my room and dived onto my bed.
Today had been an adventure and it was nice. The job is not
that bad after-all.
I got up, took a shower and went to bed.
************
My sleep was interrupted when my mum woke me up.
“Kat, wake up, your dad isn’t waking up!!!” she said
panting.
“What?”
