She's only trying to pay the bills

"Take a seat baby" said the sleazy, drawling voice.1

She obeyed hesitantly, placing her bottom onto the Chair. She squirmed slightly; the chair was uncomfortable.2

He reached out and placed his hands on her knees. She looked away as he parted her legs, and slid his hand up her skirt.3

He rolled her stockings down her legs and replaced his hand onto her crotch. She tried to pull away, but he slapped her, and lifted her onto the bed roughly.4

"I'm paying your fucking rent this month baby, don't fucking forget that!!"5

He started to kiss and lick her, in a way he deemed to be sensual and erotic. All she did was cringe, blessing the fact that his face was between her legs, and that he couldn't see the disgusted look on her face.6

She knew he was right. 7

This one would easily cover the rent, she said to herself, so she pretended as best she could to love every minute of it.8

For a whole hour, she kept up the facade of enjoying complete ecstasy.9

she even pretended to enjoy going down on him. The smell of his groin made her retch, but she continued with mock enthusiasm.10

At last, this part of her nightmare was over. He pulled the Trojan off, and lay back, panting.11

You fat fuck she thought to herself as she pulled her panties back on. Only an hour and you're exhausted? No wonder your wife wont screw you.12

She counted the $450 very carefully, before stowing it safely away in her bra. She reapplied her make up, and left without a word.13

When she got outside onto the street, the air hit her, and she puked violently. When she had done, she broke down into heavy sobs. 14

She prayed to God that someday soon, she would find another way to pay her bills, and fund Grace's chemotherapy.15

She pictured her daughter lying on the Hospital bed, covered with tubes and wires, and bleeping machines. This made her cry even more.16

She would have given anything to be able to go home and have a shower; scrub the filth from her. But she knew that this was the only way to make ends meet.17

She felt used and dirty, but what could she do? She had no job, and her scumbag boyfriend had disappeared, leaving her a pair of socks and an empty bottle of Miller.18

She composed herself, and ate 2 sticks of Wrigley's, before walking over to the corner of the street.

Author notes

This is about a young woman who has no money, and has to sell her body to pay her bills, and fund her daughter's cancer treatment. This is the plight of upto 3 in 10 women aged 15 to 50. This is especially common in third world countries.
Yes, I know this is a very harrowing story, but I don't believe in cushioning people from the harsh reality of the world they live in.

    It is indeed a sorry tale that should be told. Too many unfortunate people are in situations like this and worse. It gives one pause to be thankful for what they have and maybe give a little more when the chance arrises.

    its horrible the world we have to live in and tha fact that no-one seems to care when these horrific things happen, its kjust taken as everyday life and it doesn't matter to the majority of people. Its disgusting to anyone who makes a woman feel that they have to sell their body to live - surely there must be other ways?! i too - am naive, and its so sad that this is the way some women live their lives nice write well done

    This condition in our world is so sad. All because of money...sigh. This really reminded me to count my blessings.

    I didn't really like some of the vocabulary you used...but I liked the story
