The Procurement Process (Closed for Fillor)

[pipper]

The next day, after attending class at the University, Anne sat down at her computer. What she was about to do, frightened her, but she had to do it.

'Steven,

I have been racking my brain since last night. I am in need of money. Is there anyway, I can get a job as an escort in your business?

Anne.'

 

[Fi_llor]

Steven had a meeting to attend the next day and didn’t even go into the office, and he also had a lunch date in the afternoon. He was a little early and decided to check his mail on his phone, and the first email was from Anne and he remembered she said she would email him.

After he read it he sat in shock and thought about the night before with Anne, and how much money would she needs if she’s willing to be an escort date.

Dear Anne.

It pains me to think that you wouldn’t ask me for help, but going into being an escort date is not a wise move. I know I’m not the right man to say that as I have interest in that business, but maybe we should get together and talk about it, and maybe we can come up with a better solution.
Steven.

 

[pipper]

Anne read Steven's email. Strange that a person who was part owner of an escort service, didn't think it was wise that his girlfriend, if she was indeed his girlfriend, to be involved in such a service.

But Steven had offered to talk to her about other options.

'Steven,

Okay, lets get together and chat.

Anne.'

 

[Fi_llor]

Steven had no idea how to convince her it was not the best way to go if there was a better way. She was a University student she could do better for herself but it was her decision not his.

Anne.

Would it be ok with you if l pick you up now and drive to my place where we can talk undisturbed?

Steven.

 

[pipper]

'Steven,

That's fine with me, just let me know when you'll be here.

Anne.'

 

[Fi_llor]

Anne.

By the time you get his I might be there already.

Steven,

 

[pipper]

Anne looked out of the front window, to find Steven's car parked outside. Wearing a loose sweater and jeans, she decided that her outfit was good enough for their meeting.

Locking her front door, Anne nervously walked towards Steven who was standing by the car door, he had already opened for her.

 

[Fi_llor]

OCC. I’ll be off for the next 45 to 1 hour.


“You sure know how to shock a guy Anne,” he said as he drove back to his place.

“How much and how bad you need this money.”

 

[pipper]

“How much and how bad you need this money.”

Anne took a deep breath, so that she could pluck up the courage to answer him.

"I need at least two thousand, and need it soon. I owe my parents five hundred, and the rest is to pay off my present student loan, and that doesn't include my college fees for next September, which I have to find somehow."

 

[Fi_llor]

Steven pulls into the driveway and the garage door lifts up and drives in. He looks at her for a moment as he turns the engine off.

“And you are willing to be an escort to any man for the money is that it?” He asked Anne as he opens his door to get out of the car.

 

[pipper]

“And you are willing to be an escort to any man for the money is that it?”

Anne was know doubting if she should become one, after Steven's question made her sound cheap, but she needed the money, and fast.

"I wouldn't do it for long. Just enough to earn the money. But didn't you say in an email, that maybe we could come up with a better option?"

 

[Fi_llor]

"I wouldn't do it for long. Just enough to earn the money. But didn't you say in an email, that maybe we could come up with a better option?"

Steven walks around and opens Anne’s door, and they both walked into his house. Steven leads her into the large living room thinking about the option he had in mind, but now he didn’t thing if was such a good idea.

“Anne you’re old enough to do whatever you want, I just don’t like being the one that got you in this” he said and walks up to her and puts his arms around her waist.

“I won’t deny that I like you and maybe I’m a little selfish. I’ll give you the $2,000 you need and you move here with me. You will be saving the rent money and also on the food, and after a while if you still want to get into the business I’ll try to get you in.”

 

[pipper]

Anne wondered about Steven's offer for her to move in with him. At first, it was tempting, but something bothered her, she didn't know what though.

"I have the money for my rent, through my part-time job at the University's library, so at the moment, there is no dire need to move out. The problem is that I have no spare cash to pay off my loans," she said, as they entered Steven's home.

 

[Fi_llor]

“Anne I can’t tell you what to do, but you haven’t thought things through.

Once you’re an escort and you are asked on a date you can’t say no, and that means you have to give up University. You could be gone for days or even weeks that’s why they pay that kind of money.” Steven looked at her for a moment before he told her the rest.

“ Anne none of the escort girls go to school it’s the profession they choose for themselves, and they’re always available, and the first one that turns down a customer for whatever reason unless she is sick, she out. Like I said, it is your decision.”

 

[pipper]

Anne was stunned. Give up University? Unthinkable!

"I can't just leave University. My parents would be devastated! If they found out that I was working as an escort, they would consider it an insult on the entire family. Can't you think of anything else?"

 

[Fi_llor]

Steven saw Anne’s stunned face and dint’s know what else he tell her, those were the condition they would have to agree and sign.

“Anne I can’t change the condition of the agreement. You had to agree and sign the agreement and it’s out of my hands. “

Steven didn’t know what else to till her; he already offered her the best he could do for her.

“Anne that was why I asked you here, hoping that you would take my offer as it would be your best solution. You wouldn’t have to quit your school, and I would try to help you more with time.”

 

[pipper]

Anne sighed. Her options were limited.

"I need a day or two to think your offer over. I don't want to make a hasty decision."

 

[Fi_llor]

Steven could see that Anne was thinking and she should, it was no ease decision to make and becoming an escort girl was even harder.


"I need a day or two to think your offer over. I don't want to make a hasty decision." She told him.

“Anne take all the time you need I’m always reachable as you know. Would like a drink before I take you back, or I can take you wherever else you have to go.” He said to her.

 

[pipper]

The offer of a drink was enticing to Anne. Thought she wanted to go home, Anne thought it best to accept Steven's offer.

"That would be lovely, Steven. A gin and tonic would go down well."

 

[Fi_llor]

"That would be lovely, Steven. A gin and tonic would go down well."

Steven got up off the couch and went to the bar; He mixed a gin and tonic for Anne and poured a Scotch over ice for himself.

“Anne you mind me asking why you won’t my offer. I know you like me, but you don’t me that way am that it?”

 

[pipper]

“Anne you mind me asking why you won’t my offer. I know you like me, but you don’t me that way am that it?”

"Steven, where I live right now is with two other girls. If my parents found out that I have moved in with a guy, they may come and take me back to their place! That's why I need time to consider your offer."

 

[Fi_llor]

"Steven, where I live right now is with two other girls. If my parents found out that I have moved in with a guy, they would come and take me back to their place!"

Anne didn’t tell him anything he wouldn’t do if he was a parent of a girl her age.

“Anne I wouldn’t blame your parents for that. I would feel the same way if I had kids, especially if she was as beautiful as you are, and when you think about it it’s not as bad as you becoming an escort girl. You could tell them I’m your boyfriend.” He said smiling.

 

[pipper]

Anne thought of Steven's idea for a few moments. He did at least that she could save a few bucks by moving in with him, but what about her parents?

"I need to find out what my parents will think of that idea. They are a bit open-minded, but I need to be careful with them."

 

[Fi_llor]

"I need to find out what my parents will think of that idea. They are a bit open-minded, but I need to be careful with them."

“Anne If you have a mind set to be an escort date, you need to learn what’s require of you, and then you’ll have to learn how to please a man. I can teach you all you’ll need to learn, but you’ll have to live here with me. You can't learn otherwise”

Steven looked at Anne while she digested what he just told her.
“You think you’re up to learning all that? You may not like some of the things you’re asked to do.”

 

[pipper]

You think you’re up to learning all that? You may not like some of the things you’re asked to do.”

Anne took in what Steven had just said. "But I'm not yet committed to being an escort, and definitely not a prostitute! Besides, you did say, you could offer me suggestions of other opportunity's rather than an escort."
