Whilst I was at the flat waiting for what turned out to be a truly scrumptious encounter this past Wednesday, I received a phone call. This is how it went:
Gentleman: Hi, I’m just looking at your website now.
Me: Thank you. What can I do for you?
Gent: I want to make you an offer.
Me (interest piqued): Oh yes?!
Gent: I want you to take you to Dubai. First class plane ticket, five star hotel, the best of everything. I treat you well.
Me: Oh, that sounds lovely.
And it theory it does. It sounds like somebody wanting to jetset me off to a lovely place, all expenses paid for. But think about it from my point of view. I’ve never met the gentleman caller before, so I have no idea what he’s like. And if anybody knows anything about Dubai, then you’ll know that prostitution is very much frowned upon, to the point of imprisonment, so that’s where the reticence comes in. Did anybody read about the woman who was thrown in jail after reporting a rape? Or that couple from a couple of years back who were also thrown in prison for having sex on the beach? No ta.
I didn’t want to sound like a wet blanket so I did later on explain to the gentleman caller that I’m afraid that I didn’t go to such far away places with people I haven’t met before. But he was welcome to make a couple of bookings for whatever duration here in London first (he was calling from a London number) so we could at least get to know each other and maybe he could change my mind. He hasn’t called back. Maybe because he couldn’t understand why an escort would turn him and his generous offer down and so moved on to another lady, which is his perogative.
If I was doing this 20yrs ago and I was a young whippersnapper with no responsibilities, then maybe. But now? Nah! Now, if it was a weekend away at a spa of my choice in the UK with a truly lovely gent and all the treatments I could think of, then you’re talking my language.
I don’t want much do I?
