Chapter 11

Jane had not expected to see Cherry in the living room, and she was even more surprised when her mother said that she could smell cigarette smoke on her body. Jane had been so nervous and later so interested in what Bob had told her about how prostitutes worked from the bar that she had barely noticed the number of smokers that there were in the bar. Gary, her boyfriend, smoked so she was used to being around the smell of cigarette smoke. Now that smell had betrayed her to her mother.

“I ... I ... umm,” Jane thought about inventing some elaborate story about an accident and having to attend to a patient who seemed to be a heavy smoker, but she knew that Cherry would soon see through a lie like that because Jane was not a very convincing liar.

So, taking a deep breath, she started to tell Cherry where she had been.

“Mama, I went to the bar where you sing. I’m sorry I told you a lie about the hospital needing me, but I knew if I told you where I was going, you would not agree and you would forbid me from going there. But I wanted to see what it was like for myself. What you told me before had made me curious, and I thought that if I could see, I might be able to understand you more.”

Cherry listened to what Jane had just explained. “So, what did you learn?”

Jane had expected that Cherry would be angry with her, so she felt relieved at the calm manner Cherry showed when she asked the question.

Jane felt bolder and more able to describe all that had happened. Cherry swallowed hard when Jane described how she had been approached by a mature Western man called Bob because she feared that he would see Jane as a fresh young slut to be taken to the Love Hotel and fucked until she cried with cumming so much. So, when Jane told her about how she had made him aware that she was there because she was curious, she slowly let out the breath she had not even been aware she was holding.

But when Jane described the conversation about price, and especially about the possible price she might be offered, she felt a sharp thrill of excitement run through her body. She closed her eyes and imagined Jane gasping and moaning underneath the body of a Western man in the Love Hotel.

Jane noticed that Cherry had closed her eyes. “Are you ok, mama?” she asked solicitously.

“Yes, baby, I’m ok.”

Jane was so involved in telling her mother about the meeting with Bob that she forgot to be angry at being called ‘baby.’

“So, can you imagine that he said I could ask for 6,000 pesos, and if I pretended to be a virgin, I might get 10,000 ... I was so surprised that I couldn’t speak.”

“But...” and here Jane hesitated. “but I asked him if he would pay that much for me. I’m sorry, mama. I was a bit drunk and that’s why I asked him that. I would never have done anything with him. And that’s the truth ... but 10,000 pesos,” Jane shook her head in disbelief.

Cherry was relieved to know that Jane had only talked about asking for money, but she was shocked to hear that she had asked Bob if he would pay to fuck her. However, Jane’s description of what happened next made her feel less concerned.

Although Jane was so hyped up after her night of adventure that she could have continued talking for hours, Cherry thought that it would be better to bring the conversation to a close before it went in directions that she did not want to talk to Jane about – at least not yet.

So, she yawned and suggested that Jane should take a shower to wash away the smell of smoke and then go to bed. Reluctantly, Jane accepted Cherry’s suggestion and she went off to take a shower. Meanwhile, Cherry went to her own bedroom and closed the door. She got into bed but she could not sleep.

When Jane had finished her shower, she dried her hair and also got into bed, but she could not sleep either.

The two women lay awake in adjacent bedrooms, both thinking of what Jane had just been through. And both masturbated as a consequence.

Jane masturbated thinking of Bob agreeing to pay her 10,000 pesos and taking her to the Love Hotel.

Cherry masturbated thinking of guiding Jane during her first experience as a prostitute with Bob and helping Bob to fuck her.

Both women had orgasms that centered on Bob.

Bob who was not going to remain a stranger in their lives for much longer.
